As a result, to reduce the pain during intercourse, the body will try to self lubricate. And this reaction is not a controlled one. But that doesn’t mean a girl is enjoying intercourse. Even during a Sexual Attack, a girl might have an orgasm. It is also one kind of defence mechanism of a body. And due to all these things, many people think a girl enjoys it when she gets sexually attacked.
Specific Dresses Attracts Sexual Attacks
Whenever we hear about rape incidents, most people assume that the incident occurred because the victim wore short dresses. Many people believe if a girl wears revealing clothes, the chances of experiencing sexual attacks get higher. But, this is not true.

Types of dresses have nothing to do with rape.
