"

" The big problem about Stealthing is disrespect because a person is allowing you to access her body in a vulnerable way and you are going against the combination, for a feeling of pleasure and power, "says the gynecologist. And it is precisely this breakdown of something that has been combined that can bring serious psychological consequences to the victim.

Insecurity and Fear

In many cases, Stealthing ends up happening during casual relationships, when those involved are still getting to know each other.

Rodrigues, of the Paulista Institute of Sexuality.

Lawyers Ana Paula Braga and Marina Ruzzi, from Braga & Ruzzi Advogadas, specialists in the defense of women's rights, point out that the difficulties are enormous, as in any sex crime, where the victim's word is not valued and the evidence is difficult "The machismo that exists in our society is also reflected in the police stations and the Judiciary, so many women have their word put in check when it comes to reporting sexual violence. stealthing, which is little known as a crime, the woman may face obstacles in recording the occurrence. Therefore, it is advisable to follow up with a lawyer who is a specialist in the area. in sex crimes in general, is to prove their occurrence, since these forms of violence are hardly witnesses, "they claim.The lawyers report that there is a possibility of seeking civil damages for moral damages and also seeking protection under some existing laws in Brazil.

What to do if I become a victim of Stealthing?

If you notice that something has happened strangely in sexual intercourse, seek help "In this way, you will receive the first precautions against hepatitis, HIV preventive cocktail, the morning after pill, medicines to avoid STDs, among other possible measures," it is important to ask for medical assistance and explain what happened. "Notwithstanding the emotional and institutional difficulties involved in the complaint procedure, it is still advisable for the woman to move forward, even to create an understanding that just is not acceptable, as it is also a crime. The police station can not refuse to register its police report and, if it is the wish of the woman, it must initiate the police investigation to investigate the crime. It is also possible to seek redress in the civil sphere through an action of moral damages. This way can be triggered independently of the criminal complaint. "

It is best to seek help from a woman's station by taking the available evidence, such as the condom that was removed, the partner's semen, if he has ejaculated, some message exchanged with the aggressor. "It is also necessary to make the representation, which is to give an express statement that you want to see your aggressor investigated, prosecuted and punished. This representation must be made within six months, counted from the date of the facts. This point is very important to be aware of, because the police stations do not always report their need, and the report ends up becoming mere statistics ", according to Ana Paula and Marina.

The psychological traumas that a victim may have, as previously mentioned , it is important to pay attention to your own signs and to know when it is time to seek help. "Through psychotherapy, it is possible to overcome the previous situation and build new behaviors to face a new relationship, valuation of sexual desire, the noble pursuit of sexual health, without dodging in the future, "concludes the psychologist.
