Apart from it being AWFUL and OMG NOOO! --- emasculation seems so remote that I'd say it's impossible. I think that the doctors would have noted that, or at least Hotch would be in far greater pain and more traumatized than how we saw him.
I agree about the violation and I do think that as it was done, it was very well done to convey the multiple layers of violation, humiliation, manipulation and utter sense of helplessness from Hotch's POV. I would not be opposed to seeing the rape storyline developed in a well-done manner in fanfic, but my greatest reservation about them taking it to canon is that they don't go all the way and do it properly. That would be worse than just leaving it ambiguous (as it stands).
