I believe that getting raped is one of the most damaging and painful things that a young, sexually inexperienced man can go through. And that when this situation is repeated over and over the brain structure of the victim changes making him believe that the situation is enjoyable.

Add that a man's prostate is a sexual organ, he may indeed begin to physically enjoy it.

But I think the most important factor to consider is that prison rape isn't always a sexual act. It's about having power over another individual.

There's a saying that goes "acceptance is the key to all my problems."

If a person does not have the physical or mental ability to stop the assault, they end up embracing it.

This results into something that is truly baffling.

They become empowered by the way the more powerful men begin to treat them. They become a hot commodity, which gives them choice over who they engage with sexually.

So when a "punk" embraces his situation, he goes from the bottom of the pecking order to the top.

Everyone isn't capable of defending themselves. Some have to flip a switch in their head that allows them to do things that they never would have done as a means of survival.

Unfortunately, for a lot of men, once that switch is triggered, it's impossible to flip it off upon being freed.

The trauma has reshaped their brains.
