I’ve always love psychology and looking at people’s behaviors and why they do what they do. It’s a fascinating concept to see how a person reacts to certain situations. Each person is different in their reactions, but we all respond, and that, to me, is interesting to examine. The book ‘Escapees’ I wrote because the psychology of rape inspired me. But not just rape, the reactions of the female when she is stuck in a position of rape that does not feel like rape. In studying psychology, I have learned that it is possible that someone is rape but does not have pain, where it can seem like it’s not rape. This is a concept that is not widely understood.
People tend to associate rape with pain and suffering, but a person may be raped, and there is no pain or suffering. Does this mean there is no rape? No, it just means that the transgressor knew what they were doing. But that does not mean that it doesn’t screw with the mentality of the victim. In society, we see a woman getting raped as a painful, horrible thing. But, in actuality, it may just be an unwanted thing, which can create a mentality of ‘was this rape’ within the woman’s mind because how could she like what was undesirable, unwanted. This is what this book is all about, to shows a different side to being a captive and raped and being in a situation that is unwanted yet dealing with the desire to survive and a lack of understanding. It looks at the survivor instinct. It is a controversy, but this is what inspired me.
