And there are a few other places that are very sensitive to being hurt. It'll take his mind off rape, pretty darn fast.
Remember those circus acts, where a woman hangs by her teeth in the air and stays there for a long time? Your mouth is very strong.
I have to admit my mouth
does seem to get more exercise than the rest of me. The problem with fighting is that it's best to use that as a last resort if you think you're likely to die if you don't. Pain will arouse anger and make a dangerous person more dangerous. It's not a good idea unless you are quite sure of your strength. I'm in my 60's, not very fit, have osteoporosis and I'm much smaller than the average male. My best bet is to avoid situations were I'd be most vulnerable, keep doors locked and the phone handy, and to stay alert and trust my gut if anything seems not quite as it should be. When I go shopping, especially alone, I do not wear jewelry or flashy clothes, and I always wear comfortable shoes. In heels, I couldn't outrun a turtle.
