premiere hotch speculation

[ohshiznaps.livejournal.com]

This was discussed briefly on the episode discussion post, but i felt it needed it's own as it could be a HUGE added pain for our beloved leader.

The reaper, Hotch... was there a rape? it was most definitely insinuated, but i felt it was more of a "wait, WHAT?!" moment that passed to quickly to get  a full read on the situation.

im thinking no. if it had, i feel they would have put in more content to support it. all we really saw was a stab that looked below the belt. and the reaper was still fully in pants through the whole thing. 

unless it's something hotch blocked from his memory...

does anyone remember what the reaper said to him? about stabbing being a substitute for sex?

  if this has been discussed or anything already, feel free to mod it up.

But you can ejaculate without being able to "successfully" have sex. If he can't get erect with a partner and engage in sex acts, he's technically impotent, even if he could experience orgasm while stabbing a person (technically a stand in for sex, but not real sex). The only way to make sense of his monologue is to assume that Hotch was raped. The only way to make sense of the fact that Hotch lied to Emily is that he was raped and doesn't want to tell/admit it/his team to know. I kind of have to assume that Hotch was raped
