Is ‘Stealthing’ Rape? How Sexual Assault Victims Describe ‘Nonconsensual Condom Removal’

“Stealthing” is defined as the act of removing or damaging a condom without a sex partner’s knowledge. Beyond that, though, the definition is up for debate. Is “stealthing” rape — or a form of gendered violence we don’t yet have a name for?

New York-based writer Rae Witte, 31, told IBT her experience with stealthing involved an older male partner.

“He had a condom and I thought he put it on,” she said, adding that she didn’t realize her partner wasn’t wearing a condom until after they’d had sex. “And I yelled at him. I said, ‘What is wrong with you?’” According to Witte, the man told her he committed the violation because he “wanted [Witte] to be the mother of [his] children.”

Portland-based learning and development professional Kayleen Veatch, 29, told IBT in a phone interview that she’s uncertain what to call her experience with stealthing. “When you’re already in the action, it’s hard to stop it. Especially when it’s sex that you want,” she said. She said that in conversations about the incident, a friend said she had been raped....

As Brodsky noted in her paper, stealthing is not limited to heterosexual intercourse — although the physical risks for gay couples don’t include unwanted pregnancy. A New York-based writer, 25, who asked to remain anonymous said the act is prevalent in the gay community as well, in some cases perpetrated by HIV-positive men who don’t disclose this to their partners.

“There's this community of men who have sex with men, particularly on tumblr, who have been doing this for quite a while,” he told IBT. “Some do it to ‘pos’ others because they themselves are positive, and some just do it to assert their dominance.”

The individual described to IBT two incidents with male partners in which a condom was removed or damaged.

Both the writer and Brodsky pointed to a website — which is no longer active — that provides users with methods for stealthing, particularly among gay men. A cached version of a page that appeared on the site read, “Stealthing is controversial. Yes, I know that. But it’s also a reality. If you want to do it, you need to know how. If you don’t, you should know the techniques someone employs.”

Planned Parenthood classifies stealthing as “sexual coercion,” which a representative of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) described to IBT as a new term for a not-so-new phenomenon.

Whatever the name, it’s clear the act is a violation of individual control over one’s own body, which some legal experts argue classifies as assault.

“Reproductive or sexual coercion means being forced or manipulated into doing something you don’t agree to do sexually such as being forced to have unprotected sex, or having a partner interfere with your birth control, and is always wrong,” Dr. Leslie Kantor, vice president of education of the PPFA, told IBT. Consent means both parties agree to whatever sexual acts are happening, she said, and communicating throughout to ensure that both parties are comfortable.

“Nobody has a right to coerce or deceive another person into any sexual activity,” she said.

This is no small matter. My friend went to have some fun. Used a doubly thick condom. After he had cummed, the condom slipped because his penis became limpy. The condom slipped out and the girl was very angry.She demanded compensation. Medical fees and blood tests and all. My friend paid up and quickly bolted .That must be accidental stealthing. Or was it a con game or a scam to demand money from patrons - stealthinging their wallets.

A Swiss court has upheld a 12-month suspended sentence for a man convicted of deliberately removing his condom during sex with an unconsenting partner, a practice known as "stealthing", that is testing how legal systems across the world can handle such cases.

There is no legal precedent for the practice in Australia, as nobody has taken a case to court.

Swiss prosecutors confirmed the ruling which was reported earlier by Swiss broadcaster SRF.

SRF said the couple had met via dating platform Tinder and agreed to have sex at the woman's home.

During intercourse the woman refused the man's request to change to unprotected sex, only to discover later he had in fact removed his condom.

Manipulation, abuse, deceit

It all started with a swipe, writes one Hack reader who shared her recent experience of 'stealthing'.


Fearing she might become pregnant or contract disease, she filed charges against the man.

He testified he did not remove the condom on purpose, but refused to submit to tests of whether he was infected with the virus that causes AIDS, the broadcaster said.

In apparently the first case of its kind in Switzerland, the appeals court in Lausanne ruled that the sentence was appropriate while changing the crime involved to defilement from rape, as a lower court had found.

Defence lawyer Baptiste Viredaz submitted to the court a study published this year in the Columbia Journal of Gender and Law on the legal implications of a practice that transforms consensual into non-consensual sex.

"While one can imagine a range of motivations for 'stealthers' — increased physical pleasure, a thrill from degradation — online discussions suggest offenders and their defenders justify their actions as a natural male instinct, and natural male right," the study found.
