Decision -9- G.R. No. 227363 lies between such conduct and the amorous advances of an ardent lover. 18 When R.A. No. 7610 or The Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act took effect on June 17, 1992 and its Implementing Rules and Regulation was promulgated in October 1993, the term "lascivious conduct" was given a specific definition. The Rules and Regulations Of! the Reporting and Investigation of Child Abuse Cases states that "lascivious conduct means the intentional touching, either directly or through clothing, of the genitalia,: anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks, or the introduction of any object into the genitalia, anus or mouth, of any person, whether of the same or opposite sex, with an intent to abuse, humiliate, harass, degrade, or arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person, bestiality, masturbation, lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of a person." Upon the effectivity of R.A. No. 8353, specific forms of acts of lasciviousness were no longer punished under Article 336 of the RPC, but were transferred as a separate crime of "sexual assaul_t" under paragraph 2, Article 266-A of the RPC. Committed by "inserting penis into another person's mouth or anal orifice, or any instrument or object, into the genital or anal orifice of another person" against the victim's will, "sexual assault" has also been called "gender-free rape" or "object rape." However, the term "rape by sexual assault" is a misnomer, as it goes against the traditional concept of rape, which is carnal knowledge of a woman without her consent or against her will. In contrast to sexual assault which is a broader term that includes acts that gratify sexual desire (such as cunnilingus, felatio, sodomy or even rape), the classic rape is particular and its commission involves only the reproductive organs of a woman and a man. Compared to sexual assault, rape is severely penalized because it may lead to unwanted procreation; or to paraphrase the words of the legislators, it will put an outsider into the woman who would bear a child, or to the family, if she is married. 19 The dichotomy between rape and sexual assault · can be gathered from the deliberation of the House of Representatives on the Bill entitled "An Act To Amend Article 335 _of the Revised Penal Code, as amended, and Defining and Penalizing the Crime of Sexual Assault": INTERPELLATION OF MR. [ERASMO B.] DAMASING: xx xx Pointing out his other concerns on the measure, specifically regarding the proposed amendment to the Revised Penal Code making 18 Id. at 756. (Emphasis added).
