During the act of rape,survivors are often hit,kicked,stabbed,and severely beaten.It is this violence,as well as the violation of the sense of self,that most traumatizes the person because of the fear for her life and her feelings of helplessness,lack of control,and vulnerability.Because of the violence associated with rape,it is highly unlikely that the victim will report satisfaction or sexual release.The woman may be confused about what to do next,but it is more likley that the trauma will cause feelings of helplessness which could contribute to the confusion.
