Types of Rapists

The Control Rapist: Responsible for over 70% of rapes, he is actually not out to hurt physically, but to totally possess his victim. His acts are premeditated and are often preceded by rape fantasies that he relives and impresses upon his victims. He may, at times, carry a weapon - not to hurt, but for intimidation. He is known to take you down in 2/10ths of a second. Verbal excuses or attempted intimidation by the victim does not work well on this type of psycho. He doesn't listen to you, and completely ignores your words and pleas. This type of rapist is common in date rape.

The Anger Rapist: We know that rape from him is on an impulse, at random and is a savage encounter with uncontrolled physical violence. The act is of short duration, accompanied by abusive language, and the victim usually suffers from extensive physical trauma such as broken bones and massive bruising. This rapist usually blames the victim for the assault - "Look what you made me do bitch, it's your fault." The most dangerous part of an encounter with this psycho is the last ten to twenty minutes when he is totally blaming you for what just happened. Be cautious here, and do not attempt to beg, plead etc at this moment.

The Acquaintance Rapist: This psycho knows his victim, has been introduced to her, or has met her briefly. He has absolutely no inhibitions about using verbal or physical coercion to force his victim into sexual activities. He has no respect whatsoever, and is aggressive. Crying, begging, pleading etc. doesn't have an impact in your escape rate. As a matter of fact, he couldn't care less. Acquaintance/Date rape is the most common reported sexual assault today.
