Acute fear alone can root a victim to the spot and not move an inch. Not a rape case, but regarding being so terrified that it becomes impossible to run away even though the opportunity is there:
(Bolding mine)
In 2012, the FBI changed their definition from "The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will." to "The penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." for their annual Uniform Crime Reports. The definition, which had remained unchanged since 1927, was considered outdated and narrow. The updated definition includes any gender of victim and perpetrator, not just women being raped by men, recognizes that rape with an object can be as traumatic as penile/vaginal rape, includes instances in which the victim is unable to give consent because of temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity, and recognizes that a victim can be incapacitated and thus unable to consent because of ingestion of drugs or alcohol. However, the definition does not change federal or state criminal codes or impact charging and prosecution on the federal, state or local level; it rather means that rape will be more accurately reported nationwide.
Can a man be raped by woman?,

There are many different ways of threatening people. Without even the act actually happening, for instance, a woman can rip her own clothes, mess up her hair, and in the right situation, walk out of a room where she was with a man, and claim in front of others that he raped her.....
Photoshop or CGI something faked, and threaten to send it to his wife, employer, etc. I'm sure everyone catches the drift of what I'm trying to say about different methods of threatening.

A male can be raped by a female. It can be through coercion, an adult woman with a teenage boy. I'm sure most of you remember how teenage boys are. A man can be tied up and even as much as he doesn't want to have sex his body may respond. He could be given Viagra. There's lots of ways and it's just as disgusting and violent as when a man does it to a woman.

OP, you quoted from the wiki but I'm puzzled why you seem to have the opinion that rape has to involve sexual intercourse, when the very quote you gave does not say that. It says "usually".

The answer is yes indeed they can, a news story i read a few months ago
went something like this: Man breaks into shop to steal some things, women
somehow disables him and ties him up, feeds him nothing but Viagra and
well i doubt i gotta tell the rest there, so it can and does happen just much
more rare than the other way around.

That's the point I'm trying to make, OP.
If we continue to think that rape means "forced sex", we have to understand that definition is too narrow and in fact it's just plain wrong to limit it to that. Intercourse between the two people is not required for rape to occur. The two juveniles who were recently convicted of rape did not "have sex" with their young, female victim. But it was still rape!
It is essential that we move away from old-fashioned, narrow definitions and take on board the fact that rape can involve other methods of interaction than "forced sex".As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
So eventually men will shy away from female contact so as not to incur a rape charge?
I absolutely totally disagree with. If you have sex when you do not want to be having sex and have said no, and for whatever reason, end up having the sex, all the time hating it and meaning no with every bit of your consciousness, despite and regardless of whatever your body may be doing reactively, it is still rape, in my opinion. No still means no, as almost everyone has pointed out.
And if you have something to hide, and you get blackmailed in to having sex...than I wouldn't call that rape. Because, you actually agreed to it for fear of being exposed. That might be coercion at best...but still...I wouldn't call it rape. Because the act of having sex, in that moment was not forced upon you. You were kinda..."talked in to it"...being what you are, doing what you do....
