lies!!!

Fear and intimidation causing arousal indeed.

Kindly post a link to this research.
https://rucklab.com/unwanted-erections-in-obsessive-compulsive-disorder/

Follow the research to the end..



How is this relevant to clinicians?
The authors discuss some experimental studies (e.g. Barlow 1983, 1986) that suggest that anxiety and threat stimuli can actually increase erection and sexual arousal. They finally explain their treatment model: “Patients have found the following explanation particularly helpful and easy to understand: “Erections is a reflexive response involving changes in blood flow, and can be regarded as similar to excessive blushing in social situations. As often happens with blushing, the more anxious one becomes about the response itself, the more likely it is to happen, because the reflex can be paradoxically set off by anxiety.”. Careful explanation about the nature of unwanted erections is crucial – without this appropriate behavioural treatment may be unacceptable to these patients”.

Jamariwolff:
never!!

What kinda nonsense question is this though.
By the way, you're a woman and probably grew up with the mentality that all men are dogs and would jump at every woman that present themselves.
Research shows that men are aroused for more than 6 reasons, fear and intimidation being part of them.

Jamariwolff:
RUBBISH.

It's just like getting an A in a course and saying you didn't prepare for it.
How on earth can someone get an erection and still claim to be raped?
Seriously? You still think like this. So, you can say you're never been turned on despite not having a desire to have sex...

Romance › Major Misconception About Male Rape by Divepen1(op): 7:40am On Jun 11, 2018
Men are also victims of sexual assault/violence, and their perpetrators can be of any gender identity. In a world where sexual assault/violence is predominant and much attention is focused on the female victims, it is easier for the male victims to be neglected by a predominant part of the society that seeks to generate a giant theoretical misconception, that men cannot be raped/assaulted.
It is not in all rape cases that rape is motivated my lustful desires but rape is motivated by the desire to control, dominate, hurt and humiliate not by sexual desire.
Over the years, various misconceptions about male rape, has risen which made the society believe that a man in adulthood cannot be raped because they view the male as the stronger vessel therefore they cannot be a raped and even if a man is raped, they consider such person a weakling or the initiator of the rape. Male rape can be carried out by young/old male or female on the young/old male. Many have found it difficult to believe that a female at times could sexually assault/violate a man. They believe it must have been the other way round. Because the rate at which females get raped daily, makes male sexual assault inconspicuous. Aware of the popular misconceptions on that for men, sex is always welcome, male victims also find it too embarrassed to report sexual assault as they will not get meaningful or helpful solution.
Some misconceptions which have risen as a result of this are;
Men can’t be sexually assaulted
The masculine gender expectations teach boys or men that they can’t be victims. That they are supposed to be competitive, self-reliant and independent but not emotionally needy. A 2009 medical research council survey carried out in South Africa showed that about 3.5% of men have been forced to have sex with other men. Also, in a report, carried out in Central African Republic, showed many cases that men and boys are being raped during armed attacks when they were captive or because they refused to join armed groups. As much as women can be rape victims, likewise men too.
It’s impossible for female to sexually assault a male
A 2014 study of 284 men and boys in college and high school found 43% reported being sexually assaulted, and 95% reported only female perpetrators. Most rape victims are forced to engage in penetration of the female victims without proper consent. In many cases, the male victims could be under the influence of sexually stimulated drugs like rophynol or flunitrazepam or held in life threatening positions.
Only few young boys get sexually violated
A lot of males get violated on daily basis. They aren’t few and its not all about the age or the size of the male. Statistics have shown that at age 16, as many as one in six boys in america has had unwanted sex with an adult. Millions of men, abused as children, continue to live with the effects of shattered trust.
The perpetrators are strangers
They aren’t strangers. Well, just a few of tem may be strangers but they may even be someon you care about. They may be uncle, father, close relative or even friends, teachers etc.
Men can’t be raped because before the act, they become aroused and erection takes place
Research has proven that erection or ejaculations are psychological responses that may result from mere physical contact or even extreme stress. Besides, ejaculation does not mean that someone enjoyed being assaulted. Most male victims, because of physiological effects of anal rape or direct penetration by their perpetrators, have an erection, ejaculate during their assault. Studies of male sexual physiology suggest that involuntary erections or ejaculations can occur in the context of nonconsensual, receptive or anal sex. But sexual assault isnt about sexual desire it is about power and control.
Futhermore, Just like women, men also face psychological effects as a result of this assault. Most male rape survivors, do not receive testing forsexually transmitted diseases that they may have contacted through rape, and they receive no follow-up support from psychological services to deal with the aftermath of theit assault. Men, in general find it difficult to seek for help or report their assault because of embarrasement, societal myths etc.
Men who are rape victims probably from fellow men may face a psychological aftermath of, questioning their sexual identity. Apart from the fact that people will question them and ask them why they had let themselves get raped, they might start seeing themselves as less of a man especially when they are raped by the opposite sex.
They may also not be able to leave with the trauma and might as well lead to insomnia, nightmares etc. such people might also loose their sense of livelihood for a very long time. He would not also be able to relate well with people or trust them like he use to and he would be forced to leave with the nightmares for the rest of his life because he feels no one would believe him if he decides to report the incident.
Men can be sexually assaulted through oral means or through anal means or through direct penetration in the case where by the perpetrator is a female.
However, these misconceptions can be prevented through;
Creation of an awareness program about male sexual assault/violence on male. If this awareness is created it will help the society know that men could also be victims of rape. The government could help create this awareness and could be announced all over the various means of telecommunications example social media.

There should also be support networks for males. Like we have female support groups for female rape victims, there should also be for male . so that male victims would be free to report their perpetrators and discuss how they feel. And also to be able to get proffered solutions to their problems.

Literature › Volunteers And Committee Needed In Literature Section by Divepen1(mod):
Hello, everyone we need a lot of things on this section and we need volunteers for the various committees.
If you can help it would be very wonderful.




1. Welfare Group
We need people that will do the job of looking out for writers or readers that go AWOl for a long time as well as other welfare features.
2. Front page: I need 7 or 14 Volunteers for this. Every day, I'm supposed to recommend two good stories for FP, but most times because of time constraints, I don't get to send some type of stories to FP.
So, I need help in choosing the best two per day in this order
Monday- Short stories.
Tuesday- Romance Novels
Wednesday- Crime Novels
Thursday- Poems
Friday- Crime Novels
Saturday- Top ten stories of The Wee
Sunday- Any stories, preferably a religion-related post
Note: 1. I will create a thread where the volunteers only can post their FP suggestions
2. I will still be the one in charge of sending it for recommendations
3. Posts that are not complete but redirect us to other websites are not worthy of FP
4. Let's try to avoid the stories with excessive shorthands. Let's build a formidable community.
3. August Writing Competition: Last year, we had a writing competition. Now, we need volunteers to help with .
1. Publicity
2. Talking to sponsors( note that the game wasn't intended for money)
3. Judges ( Last year, we had Repogirl, Larrysun, and Audreytimms. I will reach out to them)
4. Members of the organising team can participate.
4. November Nairaland Month Legend: we want to get a feel of our former writers)
1. We need a thread where all their names will be mentioned
2. Volunteers will reach out to them.
3. These legends will write stories for the website. Remember, we are building a community, not a website.
5. First Literature session Get-Together- Probably, the biggest in Nigeria
W need a big plan for it. The plan is to make it different from the regular Festival.
6. Literature Session Top Ten Works of The Week.
1. We need people to help select the best story of the week.
a. Stories that beat imagination
b. Stories that was worked on grammatically.
7. Our own Magazine.
1. We need ideas on how to raise fund
2. We need ideas on how to publish
3. We need ideas on publicity
4. The aim is for us to have it ready in January.
8. Any other idea
Please indicate the part(s) you will like to be involved.

20 Spy
Joyce slumped into bed after her rigorous training. Diana had ensured that she got a better training because of her people in the Punishment room. When others had finished their training and had entered their crumbling house, Diana made her stay back for more training. As if it had been waiting for her arrival, a part of her bed slid open.
'Oh my!' She jumped in utter surprise. She stared at the part of the bed that slid out. It looked like a tray, and had a paper that read in it. She picked it up. It read:
Come to the Library. Tell no one. Meet the Librarian.
'Guys, I'll be back', she said as she got to the elevator.
'Of course, that's how you've been going all these while', Regina said from her room.
Shut up your mouth.
Joyce stared at Regina's dancing mouth and felt like removing her teeth with a single punch, but she went her way. The management could have sent her somewhere but the library. She hated the library, and the knowledge it depicted. It was her major turnoff even when she was at school. They always claimed she had a photographic memory that if she was a serious type one, she would have won every educational award. When she entered the Library, she went to the Librarian.
'I was asked to meet you.
Yes?The busy white librarian said and looked up. You Are you the Joyce?'
Sonia nodded nonchalantly.
‘Oh I thought
Thought?
Never mind
She watched the woman rummage through her bag. You were expecting someone else right, like one of those yellow fevered, unripe people like you.
Are' The Librarian began to say something, but held her breath. 'Follow me.
The woman limped away. Her right foot looked alright but on closer scrutiny, she discovered that it was a false foot.
Will you walk fast? I am the one with the limping leg.
Joyce sucked up her anger and walked faster. If it was to walk fast, she could do that, she walked past the woman and went away.
Wh- where are you taking your little blackness to?'
Was that not what we were being taught? That no one should have the right to call anyone by their color?’
Im a librarian, not a Peacemaker.
Then, you should be punished
What do you think Im doing here, being stuck with insolent girls? By the way, this is the right way.
Although she hated the library, the path they went led out of the books area. She turned to see the books shelves gradually begin to shrink to only figures. The woman brought her key and opened the door, locked it; then, another and another and another. She inputted a passcode into a new one, then used another key then another passcode. The next one required her hand scan.
Like seriously?
We still have few to go and will you let me concentrate?
I didnt'
Shush
They went to about three doors before she brought out her keycard that opened the door to a massive room. The room was made round so that every chair faced a podium built into the middle. The podium was raised high to the extent that the person at the front, if short, might have to strain his neck to listen to the speaker. The librarian led her to the front.
Welcome.
She looked upward. Then, she saw her father.
'D How did you get here?'
Come here' he said, stared at her for a while and laughed. 'I am suspecting you've met my twin or have seen him. Well because we are two, people always assume that we are one. We have so trained ourselves that one could pretend to be the other. Very few people know of our existence and it would remain so. In other words, you're not to speak a word of this to anybody'.
She nodded as she tried to soak in the moment in her mind. The empty room made his voice appear as if he was speaking from a different part of the room.
'I've summoned you down here because of the rebels, Groust. They have waxed great, and we have reasons to believe some of our people are involved'.
She swallowed hard as she watched him talk. Her mind went back to the fact that Diana just recruited her. That means they were in danger.
'My children, the two of them, were killed by the rebels and we need to eradicate them all. But our forceful way of flushing them isn't working. Youll be the one in charge of doing that for us'.
'I'm new here'.
'No wonder my brother wanted you to be trained, and made sure your name was among those that would come this year. The boy is so stupid. He still wouldn't learn to always cover his tracks. You're not here for fun. I know you're my brother's daughter, invariably my niece, and one of his fear is your death because you're supposed to be world leader after our death. You're the only heir to the throne, and you must learn how to do the right thing. I guess you know the right thing and have seen the video of the end of the world. Did you watch the videos you were shown?
Yes '
'Thats what destroyed the world. But the truth is this: the world used to have languages, but few of us know'.
'But you can catch Diana yourself and question her'.
'Diana is one of our best. No matter how much we try to get any information from her, she wont oblige. You've been kept in hiding all these while for a reason, no one must know anything about you till we announce you'.
He turned to the Librarian. 'Return her and get us the full information, you're her handler'.
As she returned with the Librarian, she agreed with her uncle, she needed training. A good P.I must know how to infiltrate the deadliest of places. She would play both sides for a fool.

19 The Truth
They had spent the third day in the filthy place, and he was sure with most things in place, he would soon be on his way out of the place they were. He had woken up the next day, tired, but had taken it upon himself to quickly find all the information that could help them escape from Etyes. His geeks were proving themselves to be useless because he didn't see any reason why none of them could decipher where they were. The information they gave him wasn't helping the matter. All they had were random information that he couldn't map out into a good plan. He was sure he would see something to help them get out of the mess they were positioned in.
After they had done their training, all of them were so tired of him. Joyce had returned home and informed every one of them of the new deal she had with Diana. They felt she was their other option. But Carl was tired of waiting for another person to help them out. They needed to fight for themselves. Their handlers told them that they would be starting a thorough group training later in the day.
As he sneaked into the conference room, a computer voice resonated in the distance, and what was being said wasn't audible. If they wanted everyone to hear it, they would have made everyone know. He had been looking for a chance to see the other places in Etyes, but the only places they have been allowed to see were the big hall which was adjacent the hall; the crazy compound was made to fence them in, and not to mingle with the others; then, the hall for changing them to a zombie was behind the dining hall.
Suddenly, Jonathan Zane ran into him. He yelled and Jonathan also jumped. Jonathan screamed and fell. In a bid to steady him, Carl slipped onto him.
Sonia came out of nowhere. 'What? Why did you do that?'
'I don't know about him. He just jumped from that place', Carl shouted as he tried to stand. Although the clothes they wore weren't white, Jonathan had made him stain the uniform with his stupidity.
'You're in big trouble', Sonia said aggressively and she dragged Carl away.
'Me or him? Carl said and resisted.
She dragged him off. He tried to turn but she turned and had his hands pinned to the back. He yelled in frustration as she led him away. The time for him to unleash all his anger was right there. He tried to spin but she seemed prepared because she rammed her fist into his rib. 'You are going to the trial room'.
He yelled and kept resisting her. She would get what would come for her. He would disfigure her body with all the punches in the world. She pushed him into a filthy, horribly dark room, and entered the room after him, locking the door as she entered. He couldn't see anything, but things buzzed in the room, and that made him afraid.
'This is not right? Hear me out. It wasn't my fault. Hear me out'.
The only thing he heard was the sound of a metallic object clanging. His heart flipped. He held his breathe. He mustn't show how afraid he was. He stared into the dark, and folded his hand, ready to punch her. His senses were all fired up to help him. In a few minutes, she opened a place that emitted a strange sort of light. She was kneeling beside it.
'Run... Follow my lead', she said as she began to crawl into it.
'Why?'
'Just go'.
'Are we escaping?'
'Just move'.
He ran after her.
'Stop', she shouted when they got to a door. He screeched to a halt in time not to run into her. She was heaving as she glanced about. He was afraid. Why was he trusting her for the second time? She had been nothing but trouble. He wasn't ready to allow her to take his little plan from him.
'Where are we going?'
'Hold on'.
She brought out a button from her pocket and clicked it. The ground rumbled. Carl moved backward as he stared intently at the ground. Suddenly, the ground opened to reveal a metallic cabin under the ground. He glanced at her, and she nodded. The cabin was devoid of anything that suggested that he had gotten to his last stop. It looked like a bus to carry them somewhere else. A staircase popped out of the cabin's side, and he glanced at Sonia again.
'WowHow?' Carl said as he withdrew from the hole.
'Enter'.
'No...'
'You have to see something'.
'I'm not going anywhere with you'.
'Then, I'll go myself'.
'Good'.
'But not without sending you off to the punishment room first. And luckily Joyce hasn't informed you of how to come out of that wicked place'.
Puffing air, he didn't know what he would lose by following her. The fear that gnawed at his belly was strong, and he wished he could agree with it, but her look showed that her threat was real. So, he climbed down as he held his breath to be sure he wouldn't suffocate at the close of the bus.
' Greater purpose, remember. You and me'.
Immediately they got into it, the top closed up, and he hoped that if he died at that place, someone would see the top of the place, and try to find him. As soon as the door closed, another door slid open in front of him. It took Carl all the will in the world not to scream his surprise. Sonia strutted into the place, and beckoned on him to follow. He moved into the place with every assurance that he would soon take his last breath. It was funny how he saw danger and still checked out its details.
The place was like a computer operation room. Only that this room had too many computers than he had ever seen in a single place. There was no extra light in the room to give him a good description of where he was, but he was very sure the place would be sophisticated. Three people sat in front of these innumerable computers.
One of the learners at Etyes was standing in front of them.
Sonia stood beside the Learner. His own uniform was different, making Carl wonder what class he was. Everything in Etyes was a mystery.
'Welcome, please stand in the middle', one of the people sitting on the chair said.
A yellow round light appeared in front of them. Carl stared at it skeptically and glanced at Sonia, who poked her heads towards the hole. Immediately he climbed the hole, the yellow turned green.
'What is this...?'
'Seat down', the same person said again. And a chair appeared behind him and he sat in it.
'What's this?' he repeated.
'Things are beyond our comprehension. Welcome to the Only Balanced Mankinds on Earth, OBMOE. We are the last of the real humans remaining. Many years ago, the world was created. 2000 years ago, the world was destroyed, but some of us were saved. Despite all they saved, they refused to save the things that made us human, our languages'.
'What's languages?'
'That's why you don't need to rush. The major information is in the book in front of you. Read it as fast as you can, and avoid being caught with it. Sonia would guide you on how to use it. You have to leave soon. Their computers would detect us very soon'.
A small book appeared in front of him, he flipped through it and picked it. He wasn't a fan of books, but he would start reading it. As they climbed out of the underground, he couldn't help but peep into the book, which read: 'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth'.
Sonia clasped the book shut. 'Hide it'.
'Who is'
'Get to your room. Censored word'.
'How do you know what I wanted to say? Who is'
'I said get to your room, and we need to stick around to discover these things. So, peradventure you're planning to escape, redirect your energy to how to remain hidden. Remember, greater purpose'.
Sonia redirected him to the trial room, and he hated the fact that she was his handler for the second time. But for now, he had to read that book to know who God is, and how he created the world.

18 Inner Circle
When they finally got out of the punishment room, Joyce's voice had broken from shouting innumerable instructions to Iris. Diana was waiting for them. Joyce wondered about the sacrifices she had seen a lot of people do for the cause of others. She had no reason to sacrifice for others. The only sacrifice she had made at the moment was to boost her C.V as a P.I, which were mostly under duress.
One other person she had seen make this type of sacrifice was her handler. After she handed the glasses to her, she expected her to follow them after thirty minutes, but her handler kept quiet for a while, and with a kind of joy Joyce had never seen on someone that was trying to help others, she said that, with the goggles, she would get the chance to help people. At first, Joyce shouted at her for being inconsiderate because if her handler came out with a lot of people, the authorities would track her down. However, she was speechless when the lady said she wanted to stay behind to save all those that were under captive from the savage authoritative girl.
At the sight of them, Diana was on all cylinder to know how they did what they did. She said the two of them were automatic members of her rebel team.
'How were you able to cross that field? I mean how did you know how to do that?'
'I've played a game like that, Mumbled Jack'.
'You played a game?' Diana asked
'A game?' Joyce said, staring at her as if she was lying.
'Yes, a game. It was a game developed by one Smithsman'.
'That's my father'.
'Mr. Bellamy, the second in command, the one in the punishment room?'
'Yes. We were playing one game like that he created named 'The Seeds games'.
Joyce glanced from one face to another in the expectation that they would know about it.
'Wow. That's painful. Seeds Game is one of the coolest games ever created. All you have to do is to keep putting seeds in round holes until there were four in a hole, then you pack it and Anyway, Fred, Carl's friend, hacked into their account and saw that it was created by someone called the Smithsman, whom we discovered was the second in command'.
'So what made you think or know that this game was the same as that of this place?'
'I just tried. There was no crime in trying. Everything was the same. I hinted someone, he made me join his group and that led me here'.
'But thats impossible'.
'I know...'
Diana brought out wristwatches and gave it to them. 'If you press this green side, the wristwatch would be invisible. Immediately I send a message to everyone in my group, you'll all get a vibration on your hand'.
