And why we need to do something about it.
Raise your hand if you can name a TV show or movie that features a rape scene. Yeah, we thought so.
Though survivors of sexual assault are often discouraged from sharing their own stories for a multitude of reasons — whether it's due to fear of retaliation, stigma, or simply not being believed, we live in an age where sexual assault scenes are fairly prominent in both film and television. In an ideal world, these scenes could help get us talking about assault and understanding consent, and reminding survivors that what happened to them was not their fault.
Unfortunately, not every single TV show or movie knows how to handle sexual assault and rape culture in a manner that promotes understanding rather than victim-blaming. One only needs to look as far as Game of Thrones to see how often sexual assault is depicted in one show alone — as of last year, it was over 50 times — but only a fraction of those stories were told from the survivor's perspective, or in a way that helped serve a plot or move a conversation forward.
There are, however, some shows and movies that do a good job explaining the reality of and context around sexual assault on-screen. While some of those scenes can be extremely difficult to watch, they also serve as an important reminder that sexual assault is never the victim’s fault, and that consent is always essential. Here are seven examples of TV shows and films that depicted rape culture in a way that taught us an important lesson about sexual assault and rape culture, and show just how far we need to go in tearing down the idea that anyone else ever has a right to your body.
On Switched at Birth, 18-year-old Bay wakes up in bed next to her ex-boyfriend Tank with zero recollection of what happened the night before. Later, she can’t remember ever saying yes to having sex with him. Bay struggles with wondering whether or not she should report, worrying that Tank might get in trouble. It isn’t until her mother says the word “rape” that Bay even realizes that what happened was rape. She eventually is able to discuss the incident and explain that yes, she was assaulted, and no, she did not give consent.
This episode was crucial because it goes deep into the idea that "no means no" is not an acceptable answer of determining consent. Bay couldn’t give consent because she had been drinking. Not saying no – especially when you cannot say no – doesn’t mean yes. Switched at Birth showrunner Lizzy Weiss explained her thoughts by saying, “The reason I wanted to do this episode is because when I went to college, it was, ‘No means no.’ And today, it's, ‘Yes means yes,’ which is a totally different perspective.”
The OC was ahead of its time in a lot of ways. It was one of the earlier shows to promote a storyline that focused on sexually fluid characters (we’ll ship Marissa and Alex forever), and it also went deep into the lingering trauma that sexual assault survivors can face. It's important to note that Trey was not a stranger to Marissa – he was her boyfriend's brother, and someone with whom she had become comfortable. And according to RAINN, 3 out of 4 rapes are committed by someone known to the victim. In fact, only 21% of sexual assaults are committed by a total stranger, showing that Marissa's experience was actually very common.
When Marissa was assaulted by Trey, she also struggled with reporting. Like Bay on Switched at Birth, Marissa didn’t want to get Trey in trouble, and she was also worried that people wouldn’t believe her — but she knew deep down that what happened to her was wrong. When she eventually confides in her best friend Summer, she is reminded that what happened was not her fault – and that Trey did commit a crime. The fact that Marissa was afraid to report her assault is a reflection on the stigma that is very real in our society, where victims are afraid to come forward out of fear that they won’t be believed or might be retaliated against. This problem with under-reporting falls solely on the shoulders of our society as a whole.
Based on the novel Push by Sapphire, the film Precious follows teenager Claireece “Precious” Jones as she navigates a dark world of abuse and assault. Precious is abused throughout the film by her father, and shamed by her mother for unwanted attention that was not her fault. Claireece finally takes steps to break away from her reality, but struggles while she does so. The film doesn't shy away from its depiction of the repercussions of assault, and was a wake up call for a lot of people whose teenage years weren't so tumultuous, and may have been living in ignorance.
The rape scene on Outlander was extremely graphic, earning it comparisons to similar scenes on Game of Thrones, but with two major differences: One, the victim is a man, and two, the story is told from his perspective. On the last episode of season 1, Jamie is raped by Captain Jack Randall, and the entire scene is shot from Jamie’s point of view. One out of every 10 people who is raped is a man, and 3% of American men have been the targets of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. There is a stigma that is attached to male survivors of sexual assault, and Outlander served as a reminder that men and boys can also be affected by sexual violence — and that their stories need to be told.
Halfway through the fifth season of Pretty Little Liars, Zach (Ella’s fiancé) subjected Hanna to a number of unwanted sexual advances, making her feel extremely uncomfortable and unsafe. When Hanna tells Aria about what happened, her response is a cold reminder of society’s very real rape culture problem. Aria asks Hanna, “What did you do to lead him on?”
Aria comes around eventually and apologizes profusely for the way she initially acted. But as infuriating as it is to watch one of our favorite characters say something so insensitive, it’s an unfortunate reminder that many people do think this way. Of course, it was not Hanna’s fault that Zach came on to her, and Hanna didn’t do anything wrong. Victim blaming is a very real issue that many survivors of sexual assault and harassment deal with, and it’s important to remember that no one ever is “asking” for it — no matter what.
Early in the series, we learn that Claire was raped in college. And while Claire didn’t report her attacker at the time, she explains that she dealt with the assault in her own way. She describes the rape to her husband, Frank, and her re-imagining of the trauma is devastating. Claire refers to herself in the third person, reflecting the idea that she has separated herself from the assault and is not letting herself be defined by the violence she’s experienced. Claire says, “Every time I think of her pinned down like that, I strangle her, Francis. So she doesn't strangle me. I have to. We have to. The alternative is unlivable.”
Claire’s experience teaches us that everyone handles trauma differently. In her case, she chose to disassociate herself from the incident. Healing looks different for each and every survivor.
On Orange is the New Black, Pennsatucky is raped by one of the prison guards, Charlie Coates. The thing that’s so difficult to watch about this scene is the fact that Pennsatucky had started to think of him as something of a friend, and then he turned into someone she couldn’t trust, someone she had to fear. Later, when Big Boo tries to help Pennsatucky get revenge on him, she declines, explaining, “I’m not angry; I’m just sad.”
For Pennsatucky, there is no rage after her assault — there’s only sadness and confusion. Orange is the New Black does a good job of depicting what many survivors experience in the aftermath of an assault; in Pennsatucky's case, it affected her for days and weeks, she truly didn’t understand what was happening to her, and she not only mourned the friend she used to have, but the person she used to be.

German cinema may unfairly be defined, outside its borders anyway, by how it interprets the various atrocities that were perpetrated during the country’s turbulent twentieth century.
This mood hangs over so much of their filmmaking, that when exploring noted erotic moments within this history, it is impossible to ignore the heavy weights that exist here. Noted examples of sexual scenes in German film can be found in examples that engage with this past and also ones that have very little to do with it, as you shall see. From giants of Silent Film to ultra-modern depictions of young womanhood, they are all here for your pleasure.
An adaptation of Gunter Grass’ prize-winning novel of the same name, “The Tin Drum” centres on a young boy who refuses to grow up in 20th century Poland. On his third birthday, he receives a drum which he uses to cause disruption and havoc. What caused outrage upon release was a sex scene between the young Oskar and an older women, involving oral sex. The result was that many festivals refused to show it on grounds of child pornography.
From Patrick Suskind’s “unfilmable” novel of the same name, German director Tom Tykwer created a feast for the senses in this lavish period drama. The final set piece is a work of staggering sexual power as our anti-hero Jean-Baptiste Grenoiulle (Ben Whishaw) releases with one flutter of his hand the essence of pure scent from a piece of cloth. The hundreds of revelers soon indulge in a mass orgy scene that is an unforgettable erotic scene.
An acclaimed German film that takes place during the East-West German divide, Christian Petzold’s drama focuses on a doctor (Nina Hoss) who is sent to a remote hospital as punishment for trying to defect into the West. A disturbingly erotic moment occurs when the Stasi force upon her a full body search. The fact that most of it takes place off screen doesn’t make it any less frightening.
Directed by acclaimed Turkish-German filmmaker Fatih Akin,”The Edge of Heaven” is a grand European odyssey that flicks back and forth between Bremen and Istanbul. Young Ayten is a member of a Turkish communist group, forcing her to flee to Germany where she takes up with Lotte, a college professor. The love scenes between the two are strikingly shot, brutal in their honesty and passion, unfolding within a natural narrative.
“Wetlands” made quite a splash when it premiered at Sundance. One critic labelled it “an extravaganza of delightful perversity.” It is a film full of disgusting moments, littered throughout with a near constant parade of strange erotism, in its story of a rebellious teen who ends up in hospital after a self-harm incident. One such moment involves a plant growing out of her reproductive organs in her hospital bed. Shocking stuff.
Released in the golden age of Silent Film, Germany’s “Pandora Box” from 1929 starred famous heroine Louise Brooks as Lulu, a woman who possesses such beauty and sexual prowess that she can seduce any man who falls within her eye line. The whole film is one long staged sexual scene after the other. Certainly shocking for its time. The costumes and makeup of Brooks adds in large part to this overtly sexual mood; thick black lipstick and that iconic short bob.
“The Lives of Others” is a gripping drama that takes place in the closed-off world of East Germany before the re-unification of the country. It is a place completely controlled and monitored by the State, as a writer becomes the target of a government’s spymaster. In a scene of disturbing sexual content, the couple are having sex unaware of the fact that captain Gerd Wiesler is listening to everything in their bugged apartment.
