I give the producers an A+ for this depiction of male rape.
It is almost always portrayed as the first version in the episode.
Bent over a table and violent.
However, in the narrative of the episode,.. it becomes apparent that it was not the use of physical force that bothered Jamie the most.
It was the admission that he reached orgasm, and that "it felt good"... in the one depicted in the picture above.
Just to be clear... they are both rapes.
The book is actually more explicit
Dr McLean argues that reflex erection and ejaculation can increase the sense of guilt in male victims, even confusing a heterosexual victim's sense of sexuality and, by extension, identity, by raising the question 'Did I enjoy it'.
I think as women, we must discuss this with our menfolk... and educate them where necessary.
Because,.. in our society. where we do not get taught about our bodies, and many people do not have a healthy sense of sexuality, ... this type of trauma.. is a driving force behind the homophobia.
