Rape is sexual intercourse with another person without that person’s consent (the actus reus, or "guilty act" component) and, together with knowledge (or reasonable expectation of knowledge — the mens rea, or "guilty mind" component), the corresponding crime in most jurisdictions.

The exact definition of rape as a crime varies from place to place and time to time. In particular sexual intercourse forced on a man by a woman is generally excluded. In some jurisdictions they goes under a separate classification of made to penetrate.

The data below uses CDC terminology. CDC data from 2010[1], 2011[2] and 2012[3] shows that the rate of men being forced to penetrate is similar to the rate of women being raped. Credit Phil Mitchel for collating the data.[4][5]

Year Male Victims Female Victoms
2010 1,267,000 1,270,000
2011 1,921,000 1,929,000
2012 1,715,000 1,473,000


One particular form of rape that tends to lack recognition is rape of men by women, which can be by means of psychological abuse and coercion, or flat-out violent rape by envelopment. Male-on-male rape tends to be recognised and harshly condemned in the case of older predators raping boys, less so in the context of the gay community. In the context of prisons, the existence of male-on-male rape is fully recognised, but frequently turned into a joke about ‘dropping the soap’ and/or dismissed as fair punishment for the criminal activity that resulted in the incarceration.

Feminist ideology makes much of a concept of ‘rape culture’, according to which rape (understood as rape of women by men) is normalised and condoned. MHRAs tend to counter that such rape is one of the most harshly condemned crimes in Western society.
