When you open the newspaper, not a day passes without some report of rape, molestation or rape and murder cases.And, there’s no let down of cases which are reported. One of the horrific rape in the recent past is the Nirbhaya case where she was physical abused and rape. While there was a hue and cry after the incident, things are just quite the same on the ground.

In Kerala, where another more horrific case came into the light when social media flamed with the hashtag #justiceforjisha. The incident, more wilder and more gruesome than than Nirbaya has again sparked the public to do the usual drama of protest and the like.

What the big question is this – Will this lead to any kind of relief or will it reduce the number of such rapes in India? I feel we have to think out of the box with new way to minimize such instances. Here’s my plan and it’s bit wierd.

1) Train Women how to Tactfully Overcome such Situation

  Well, it’s not a easy as it sounds. While physical dexterity and quick thinking might help you thwart a scenario, there are some ways to avoid to certain situations. For example, avoiding lonely streets, keeping a tab of the surroundings, or keeping some handy weapon such as pepper spray or sharp objects or even a smart object which can alert others or a Wifi device which works on voice command and gives alarm ( modeled on the lines of Amazon Echo or Google Home)

Suppose a team of experts join together as a team ( Physiologists to self-defense experts or Councillors) to train women on  how to slip away unhurt in such a situation. I hope this kind of training in schools or colleagues and offices will help women to be prepared in case of such an eventuality.

2) Build Masturbation booth in each Panchayat, towns and cites ( Relieve & let go of the tension)

In many cases, I feel this could help man to mellow down his fiery feelings. Sometimes, the bottled up sexual feeling can burst the normal logical thinking pipes. Man will be just thinking from his groin and he will later repent his action. So, why not a private masturbation room where a person can relieve his bony thoughts. We can make it better by giving these relieved men a glass of butter milk to regain and refresh. Howaboutit?

As a matter of fact, such a place should be constructed alongside of a public urinal or bathroom facility. But, not a dirty public too but one which is clean, neat and dry. As a prop, there can be few erotic men’s magazine or hot erotic posters from Debanoir to get charged. It could be something like a room where men do to get their semen tested. The dark room with a cosy couch to sit, few tissues, even a condom to finish the act.

Btw, if our corporation is out of funds to construct a booth, they can approach Playboy or get sponsor from condom company like Hindustan Latex, etc. I got this idea from the masturbation booth in New York. Well, that’s NY and not India, would be the typical answer. But, here we’re not looking for a typical solution.

 3) Inflatable Sex Dolls for Military personal

Just imagine the rough life of a military jawan who is far from home, not able to get his normal dosage of sex. And there were many instances where military jawans and officers who has abducted women from the outpost area. If it’s happy-happy it’s fine, but when it’s not a consensual act, then there are other problems. I somehow feel that these solider should be given an inflatable doll along with their ration, supplies, booze and ammunition. Well, this is something to think about? And, I wonder if any army around us is doing this or allowing servicemen to have fun with such sex toys.

Female Intervention

Well, this is an idea that just popped in my mind. To make things fast and pleasurable inside the booth, a phone line could be placed where they can talk to a female in a call centre who will talk and make the man relieve. It will be a 7 minute talk and it will be charged. Oh, again it’s going to be downright unthinkable in India, but let’s think of it, if it helps the cause. Will such a public stuff cause a stampede, just like what we see in front of liquor retail outlets in Kerala? Again, it’s a small price to pay to avoid a bad patch.

What do you think? Will this work in India? In what other way can you reduce the instances of rape in our country? Think and let me know!!

BTW: Here’s a link with the details of masturbation laws in different countries. What about it India?
