Sexual Abuse in Domestic Violence

Sexual Abuse and What It Is

As you have seen in the previous blogs, I described physical and verbal abuse. Another abuse tactic that is used in domestic violence is sexual abuse. This abuse is defined as having one perform a sexual act that he/she does not want to.

Examples of Sexual Abuse

Examples of sexual abuse can be having sex and playing with sexual objects when the other person does not want to. Sexual abuse is a form of rape because rape is forcing one to have sex when he/she does not say yes or refuses to have sex.

My Word on This Type of Abuse

People may think that some women are not verbally, physically, or sexually abused what so ever in their relationships, but by listening to this expert we see that violence is part of women's lives. I believe that all women may have one experience in their relationships were the men spoke to them the wrong way or made them feel worthless.

When two people are in a relationship, one thinks that they can trust each other the most. Being in a family is one of the most dangerous things because one thinks they can trust their spouses, but they are the ones who can do most of the damage to oneself. Sexual abuse is so sad because women don't have a say and sexual activities should be something pleasureable and in this situation it's not.
