Sexual Assault Was it rape?

I had already hooked up with him earlier this week. He asked me to meet him at his house to hang out. He bought me a drink earlier so I told him I'd hang with him. When I got there he was really nice, like super normal. (Full disclosure, I was high at the time, on coke and weed that he gave me). Then he started touching me and trying to start something and I told him I was too tired and not really in the mood at this particular time. And so he said he needed to finish before he went to sleep and would maybe text another girl to hook up with, which I thought was an odd thing to say but I just dismissed it. We were just watching tv then about 30 mins later and he's feeling me up again and asking if I liked rough sex saying I probably couldn't handle him at his roughest. I remember saying I wouldn't be ok with being tied up because of past experiences. And I told him I was too tired again and tried to just blow him off. This is where it gets blurry. The next thing I remember is him pinning me down and pulling my hair. He tied me up with his belt anyway, I think because he knew it would terrify me. He was on top of me forcing me to give him oral. And I kept trying to pull away but he'd pull my hair so hard I would scream. He bit my ear so hard it started bleeding whenever I tried to keep him from putting himself inside me. I remember saying ow that hurts and stop at some point when he really started hurting me. Eventually I got too loud for his comfort so he turned me over and shoved my face in the pillow so hard that I split my lip on my teeth and felt like my skull was going to crack. Every time I resisted or said no he'd just get rougher. So then I just laid there and wanted to die because everything hurt and I couldn't believe it was happening again. My wrists are bruised from him pinning me down. I remember him whispering in my ear that I couldn't even deny I liked it because I was wet.
I'm struggling with this for a lot of reasons. Self-blame, because I knew him and had already had sex with him. I'm also feeling a lot of guilt. I just think it would help to hear what other people think. I knew it was risky. I knew he wasn't the best person to be around. I had already told him I liked rough sex (minus being tied up). Was it my fault?
 
Do you view yourself as a play object or a grown woman in charge of when and what she wants for her own body? There is no question in my mind that you stated your request and he chose not to honor it.

I also feel that this idiot needs to be handed a pamphlet on boundaries, listening, and the physiology of the female body and how it responds to touch and fear.

Also, I wish he could experience Being tied up with a belt and having things shoved into him whilst making him "hard" and telling him, "see, you like it."
 
This was definitely not okay on his part. You stated you didn't want it, and he not only went against what you requested but did it in such a way that hurt you - mentally, physically.
You shouldn't blame yourself for this. What happened was because he was an ass, not because you were careless. I know it's easier said than done but try to throw away the guilt, it'll gnaw at you. Shift all your blame onto him, and him alone.
 
:hug:

Yes, this was rape.

Can you seek out a therapist or rape crisis line for support? Sometimes they can refer you to local resources.
 
Then why even comment on this if you would just "ignore" it? Why even read it? Take your insensitive comments somewhere else please.
 
Last time I checked this isn't a rape forum or a hotline but hey. I'm off the thread and would like to stop seeing these queries because it's increasingly common and I am sick and tired of saying the same thing... so much that I don't even bother anymore.
