Hey, I was thinking about that Shield episode, too. Also, don't forget that guys can get raped as well. Imagine yourself getting raped (by another guy), don't you think that would be a traumatizing experience? I certainly do. I probably wouldn't ever tell anyone if I didn't have to. I would probably be cautions to ever go out alone again. And I would certainly always have the memory of it happening. Who knows what could trigger that memory. Maybe just seeing someone who resembled the rapist would trigger a flashback. What a horrible way to live -- knowing that you've been violated and that the memory of it will stay with you forever.
