Silly question, but what’s the difference between sexual assault and rape?
Rape is a subcategory of sexual assault. Groping or forced kissing are not rape, but are also forms of sexual assault.
Noted, thank you. I will continue not engaging in either, then.
It’s so easy to not rape and assault people that I find it baffling that it happens.
Pretty sure rape needs to be sticking the dick in a hole. Technically, in the UK, to the letter of the law, a female can’t be a rapist.
Sexual assault can just be something as “insignificant” as pinching someone’s arse as they pass you on the bus.
Rape involves penetration of bodily orfices with pretty much anything. Also; involuntary with consideration about ability to consent.
(Not sure if the UK narrows that definition in any way.)
UK law narrows it down for some reason.

Not sure if there’s a very good reason for it that I’m too innocent to understand or if its just one of those archaic things that havent got round to being updated yet.
Don’t they have something like “digital rape” which isn’t based on computers but on the digits i.e. fingers being inserted unwantedly?
