Rapex

hehe. no shit, good point. i own guns, i'll use them as i see fit. GLM, ow do you feel about firearms?

 

Well, Im split. On the one hand, Id think it would be pretty cool to be able just to go into a shop an buy a Walter PPK or something. On the other hand, in our media they always act as if you in the US are doing nothing else all the day but to shoot each other with those guns. OK, thats probably bullshit, but I think there ARE some statistics saying that quite a lot of people get hurt by them. Of course, its hard to accurately say how many crimes are prevented by them.... Guess it depends on WHO manipulated the statistics...

 

very true. i guess in this world, there are more ways to die and get hurt than we'd like, but the truly spectacular and theatrical attacks on a particular piece of our anatomy that you adore (like your penis), are really the ones that get to you. it's a new threat on your favorite body part. perhaps it's why your response to this particular weapon is so strong?

 

I suppose there are pros and cons to this creation, as there are for many things in life. But a few points already mentioned really concern me:

As Lib mentioned earlier, once the aggressor has been cut, would there not be a TREMENDOUS risk of infected blood flowing through the female's body, increasing the chance of contracting aids, a great deal?

Oftentimes, when a new product hits the market, it has bugs that must be worked out before it is "ideal." But we are not talking about a vcr here...we are talking about something that could potentially damage the female in question JUST AS MUCH as her attacker. If you don't believe this is possible, I am only voicing my opinion, but it seems there would be quite a few ways this could backfire.

Also, if the attacker is enraged, no matter how much pain he is in, he will alomst definitely fight back. Rape is one of the most traumatizing experiences in a woman's life, I know...my girlfriend was raped throughout her childhood, and many times she would break down at the memory of it. However, I would hate to imagine the victim being beaten to death in the event of the attacker's violent rage.

DO NOT COME BACK AT ME, proposing that I claim the attacker is not going to act violently in the first place, he is a RAPIST, for God's sake. But it is petrifying to me. to imagine what might happen if he were to go ballistic after such an event.

There must be a better way to protect youself without using such a device, that could cause more harm than good, includind to your own body.

I am only airing my opinion, here. I look forward to hearing what the OP has to say.

 

There are 'prohibited' weapons in both the civilian and military arenas.

My guess is if it were meant to be used by a male,
it would be added to the prohibited list...

 

No. If there was any blood it would be contained within the condom part of the device.

 

That is, if the condom itself does not rupture at some point, in the process. It does, after all, contain sharp, spiney teeth running up it's sides!

 

Sure. I'm sure there are risks.

 

I must admit, as a regular everyday, non-raping gentleman ( lol), the thought of all these teeth wrapped around me scares me to death. I do NOT want to find out how those things feel!

 

I'm not against this device at all, sure there might be some psychos but if some one is crazy enough to hurt some one (who isnt attempting to rape them) then they are probably crazy enough to use scissors anyway.

I think most men who aren't rapists could definatley see why this might be a useful tool.

On a side note, has anyone seen the movie "7" with Brad Pitt? interestingly enough people can already buy razor sharp dildos...

 

I guess its a bit different when you live in Germany (or anywhere in Europe). Getting killed with guns by some idiot is something that is only now and then reported in the news, so I dont consider this to be such a threat. On the other hand, I HAVE been on the receiving end of your "last resort thing", and while there is not much that can be done about this, the additional threat of "Rapex" can (and should !!!) be stopped RIGHT NOW. And yes, I DO adore both my Schlong and my 2 Babymakers, as you would too if you could see them . But thats NOT the reason why Im opposed to this thing !

 

Truth is, if some one wanted to mangle your genitals they wouldn't have to use a 'Rapex' so i dont think it adds any additional threat from psychos. Do you think if this device existed that it would be likely that it would be used on you?

 

lol. you really don't hear about people in the suburbs or rural areas getting shot up every day, either. that's mainly an urban problem. even as such, it's not as prevalent as you would think, people getting shot. i've never known a single person, outside of military service, who was ever shot. though the cops have pulled guns on my husband more times that should ever happen to anyone, but he was a hellion. however, i think the freakshow theatricality of this particular device is what's really getting to you. at the center of you young masculine mind is your sexuality and it's instruments. if you can trust your woman not to hack your bits off with a knife while your sleeping, odds are very good that you won't have to worry about this thing, either. it's not like it would be the sort of thing that can be forgotten once she puts it in. while your penis and balls aren't nearly as important to me as they are to you, i won't give you much hell about it. if some guy wanted to stick a knife up my vagina, i wouldn't be all that thrilled about that, either. so i'm saying i understand to a degree, though i think your fear of this contraption is thoroughly over the top.

 

THAT is an excellent point, I hadn't even considered. Same damn thing, only most likely MORE available. Sheesh. Stuff I didn't even know existed.

 

for those of you who think its going to rip the penis into shreds, you should look it up on google. they look like plastic teeth to me.. can't be super harmless.

 

I'm still not sure wether I'm for or against it...maybe somewhat in between. But I still think there are better ways to fend off an attacker.

 

Eh?? Where do you get this information from? It's not at all accurate...??? What do you mean taken from their villages?? By whom???? Someone else was talking of militia involvement in rape - what Militia do we have in SA???

 

1. Yes I'm a white South African woman, who has herself been raped by black men.
2. There are no all-white areas in South Africa except for self governing area in the Karoo/N. Cape area called Oranje
3. Afrikaner men have never raped tourists, that I have heard or read about. Afrikaner men are generally quite conservative, actually.

Best you check your facts and question your assumptions before making sweeping statements cynical_otter.

 

NEVER? That's a pretty generatl statement. You don't really know this has "never" happened. As a rule, men who are sexually and politically ""conservative" actually engage in more sexual assaults.

I am also a bit confused about the "no all white areas of SA." Were ALL the encoutrements of Aparthide erased in just a few short years?

"Da Nile" ain't just a river in Egypt.

 

MS: NEVER? That's a pretty generatl statement. You don't really know this has "never" happened.

MP: Please don't quote me out of context Maggie Sugar. I actually said that they have never AS FAR AS I KNOW OR HAVE HEARD...


MS: I am also a bit confused about the "no all white areas of SA." Were ALL the encoutrements of Aparthide erased in just a few short years?

MP: Yes - all the trappings and accoutrements of apartheid were abolished and erased with the new dispensation in 1994. There is nothing stopping anyone from staying in any area he wishes now. Only the usual financial considerations such as anyone would have no matter in which country he dwells would affect that now. Be confused no more.


MS: "Da Nile" ain't just a river in Egypt.

MP: What's that supposed to mean? Who's in denial??? How much have you read about South Africa and what are your sources, might I enquire?
