I have no idea. I think it's kind of pointless to compare, since how people react to stuff is never uniform. What bothers one person might not bother another, and how someone copes with trauma or other nasty stuff is really varied.

But in general, it seems that most societies have a stronger reaction to Rape in comparison to Murder. Maybe it's because killing is something more....common and less ugly? Especially in this day and age, when you can shoot someone from far away and it's over in an instant. In contrast, a lot of societies have strong taboos related to sex.
