People that make jokes about what happens to people in prison are immature and scared, they are so scare about this matter they have to joke about it and that is why they joke out of fearing it may happen to them one day.

I remember a couple years ago, I saw the movie Trading Places for the first time in well over a decade. It’s the one where Eddie Murphy and Dan Ackroyd get screwed over by some old codgers who are commodity brokers. Paul Gleason play some bad guy, and his comeuppance is to end up trapped in a gorilla suit, his mouth taped shut so he can’t ask for help, locked in a cage with an amorous male silverback gorilla.
Obviously that’s supposed to be funny. But it really bothered me. The concept that this guy was being repeatedly sodomized, couldn’t ask for help, and would be in that position indefinitely really did not sit well with me. And the casual “ha, ha, bad guy got what he deserves” aspect of it didn’t fly with me at all because he was such a bumbling jackass of a bad guy and couldn’t possibly deserve that.
If it makes you feel any better, Gorillas have tiny penises compared to humans(I think it is like 1.25 inches erect).
And…I don’t know why I posted this…

Well, it’s more physically painful. I’m not sure it’s more emotionally traumatic.
It strikes me as odd that the first word people think of in relation to male rape is “emasculating”. As opposed to “dehumanizing”. Which is what rape really is, of course.
You know, there’s no real feminine equivalent of the word “emasculate” is there? I suspect that may be the root of the problem here. Apparently *masculinity * is so valuable that losing even a little of it is a grave disaster, whereas femininity has little value, and is in fact the default you’re left with when the vastly superior masculinity has been stripped away.
This isn’t an attack on **Trunk ** or anyone here by the way, just an observation.
I think part of it is that vaginal rape is viewed as sex. Forced sex, yes. But sex nonetheless. That’s bullshit, of course. It isn’t sex at all.
