Prison Rape: Does It HAVE To Be Sexy?

Sully links to questions about how to stop prison rape.

I like whenever prison rape comes up because it lets me repost myself wondering why it's so easily accepted as "normal":
5) And while I’m thinking about gay sex, how come we have so readily accepted prison sex? We think of a prison we shrug our shoulders and think ah well, dudes fucking dudes, it’s just the situation they’re in. What is this? These dudes can’t beat off like normal people? Hey, let me tell you something, I’ve gone some LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG stretches without getting laid, and at no point did I start thinking about fucking guys. How does this happen so quickly in prison? Granted, I haven’t taken a shower with 50 dudes in a while, but still. I think maybe part of the male machismo says that we have to prove ourselves as pussyhounds AT ALL COSTS; ie we have to make it look like we’re freaking out over not fucking chicks, that we’re such studs that we’re simply not used to not getting laid every day, and that transcends our not being, you know…attracted to the thought of having a dick in our mouth. Just a theory. I mean come on, you’re in prison cause you held up a 7-11 with a water pistol to get money for some Air Jordans, am I REALLY supposed to believe that on the outside you had a constant stream of amazing trim? Camon. Just once I’d like to hear about prisoners talking like this:

a. Prisoner A: hey Jerry, how long you been here now?
b. Prisoner B: fricking 10 months.
c. Prisoner A: oh man, 10 months with no pussy? Damn!
d. Prisoner B: you know, it hasn’t been a big deal. I jerk off 6 times a day, just like back home. Hey, you done reading that?
I think the whole prison rape thing could be solved simply by someone pointing out to them "you know this technically makes you a fag, right?"

Well...not really.

I think you fail to distinguish between prison rape and consensual sex that happens to be between two guys who are nominally straight but now find themselves in prison.

Prison rape is just that. Brutal. I do not know if we 'accept' it. I doubt you could stop it. I fear it more than accept it.

Now, consensual sex in prison between two guys. I think it vital to remember that prison is a very abnormal situation. Humans are not meant to be caged. That plus the alienation, lonliness, and dehumanization that one experiences in prison, is enough to compell you to seek some kind of comfort.

You yourself might be in an extended dry spell. But the possibility of ending that dry spell is always there. Not so in prison, where you may be staring at a forced 20 year dry spell.

I doubt John Gotti ever fucked a dude while in the joint.

I always find it interesting that even homophobic mafia types--those 50 or younger; the old timers would never fuck a dude--are given a free pass by their peers and colleagues when it comes to prison sex.
