PITTSBURGH - Mens Rights Activist Noah Swayne, 31, addressed the "Men against rape" rally at Pleasant Hills Presbyterian Church and told a crowd of mostly women that he could never participate in a gang rape "because the other guys would see my [penis]." Swayne's comments were met with a smattering of applause."Believe me, I've had plenty of opportunities to be part of one of those, but I refuse," he said.
Swayne detailed his qualms. "It's different than being in a locker room setting with other naked men or peeing in a urinal trough next to men exposing their [organs of copulation]. In those situations, for want of a better word, you're flaccid," Swayne said. "In a gang rape, you are displaying the full expression of your masculinity, if you know what I mean, and comparisons are inevitable."
Swayne told the crowd that he favors exploring ways "to minimize men's embarrassment during gang rape and similar sexual assaults perpetrated by groups of naked or semi-naked males."
Swayne added that even if he would be assured complete privacy during a gang rape, he's still not certain that he would participate. "Then the question would be, is this rape fair to the woman? But that's a question for another day."
