First off, I'm a man, so I don't claim to have the answer.
That being said, I've spent time with many rape victims, and here's how I see it. It's such a violation of your person... it's like the feeling that you have when someone breaks into your house, but a million times worse because YOU are the house. You don't feel safe anymore, you don't feel that you can trust anymore...
Sometimes there is a personal injury that will never quite heal. However, give me a physicall injury over an emotional injury any day. Physical injuries heal, while emotional injuries stay with you for a long time.
