PERHAPSTHE ULTIMATE RAPE ESCAPE - GRIP IT & RIP IT
In 1992, a burglar tried to rape a sleeping, middle-aged nurse, Curtescine Lloyd, in Edwards, Mississippi. He punched and threatened to kill her unless she submitted to rape. Instead, she grabbed his penis with one hand, his testicles with the other and wrenched them in opposite directions. He screamed and pummeled her some more but she refused to let go. They struggled until she shoved him outdoors half naked.
In 2001, a woman walked into Chicago’s police headquarters holding a pair of testicles she'd bitten off an attacker.
Abi Grant awakened with a burglar on top of her, threatening to kill her, and punching her face. She punched back. She thought she was going to be killed. When he put his tongue in her mouth, she bit it hard and grabbed his penis and dug in her nails. When he tired of hitting her, she used his penis for leverage and managed to head-butt him. He fled.
Even when erect, a penis is merely soft tissue that's attached to a man's body only by weak, blood-engorged, spongy tissue, skin, nerves, and blood vessels – not by bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, or anything at all sturdy. The same goes for the testicles and scrotum. Thus, a man's genitalia are extremely vulnerable.
A rapist's genitalia is within reach of the (unbound) victim – either from behind or in front – and many martial artists claim that it can be easilytorn offhis body. However, a lack of volunteers to test this theory forces it to remain part of martial arts’ lore. Yet, if you think about it,this very same lack of volunteers makes it blatantly obvious that it's far too dangerous for anyone in his right mind to try finding out – even a failed attempt could maim.
So it's a safe bet that a woman ferociously wrenching a rapist's genitalia like wringing out a washcloth – even one-handed – will seize absolute control of the encounter.With the utmost irony, his fragile tool of crime suddenly becomes his undoing – truly poetic justice.
TAKING A BITE OUT OF CRIME
Or, if you're forced to perform fellatio, his penis or testicles can easily be bitten off. Either biting off or tearing off his genitalia will cause a rapist to suffer severe pain, blood loss, reactive shock, and panic. In all likelihood, he'll frantically scramble to getawayfrom you –especiallyif you keep furiously attacking him until you suddenly flee – and the police will easily find him when he desperately seeks attention at a hospital.
If he tries to kiss you, bite into his lips until your teeth meet – chomp down as hard as possible – then vigorously shake your head side-to-side to cause maximal damage. Then immediatelyattack him furiously to ensure your escape.
Any time a victim fights back against a rapist, they may cause each other to bleed, thus she risks exchanging her blood or other bodily fluids with his. But few rapists have HIV/AIDS (less than 1 percent of the general population does). Further, a woman biting a rapist with HIV/AIDS/STDs - or fighting back at all - has no more risk of becoming infected than if she were raped by him (again, exchanging bodily fluids).
While calmly reading this, you may feel that maiming a rapist is too gruesome an act for you. That, of course, isyourdecision – though you'll likely feelverydifferently during an actual attack. Yet you still have a very powerful option: grabbing his genitalia with a crushing grip and holding on until you can maneuver him into a situation from which you can safely escape – as did Curtescine Lloyd in
