Uhh, yeahh... I was just wondering what the differance between rape and molestation is, because arn't they both unwanted sex or touching? :S... Weird question, I know, I was just wondering. xP
Molestation doesn't really have anything to do with children as far as the definition of the word is concerned. Yes, it is often used in conjunction with stories about abused children, but that's a definition by association only.
Molestation means to make any annoying or unwanted sexual advances toward someone, adult or children, up to and including forcing sexual contact on them.
Rape refers to a forced act of sexual intercourse and applies, again, to both children and adults. If a child is raped, you won't find many people who would call it being ''molested.''
Molestation: the act of subjecting someone to unwanted or improper sexual advances or activity (especially women or children)
Molest - The act of making unwanted and indecent advances to someone, especially for sexual gratification.
Rape: Rape is forced sexual contact.
Rape, also referred to as sexual assault, is an assault by a person involving sexual intercourse with or without sexual penetration of another person without that person's consent.
Hope this helped!
Rape is forced sexual intercourse. Anybody can be raped, no matter the age or gender. Molestation is basically any inappropriate sexual advances, for example, touching, rubbing, etc... anybody can get molested but sadly it's mainly children. :(
yeah sorta
If a adult was touch in a forceful and unwanted way. then it probably will still be call rape
if a child was then it probably would be molestation
So molestation is for children and rape is for adults? So you couldn't say a adult was molested? Or a child was raped? :S
I always understood rape to be the sexual act and molestation touch and feel (both inappropriate of course)
Molestation useually refers to children.
