'Folterseele' is what they were calling them. And I am having trouble imagining how one of these Folterseele females could actually get raped, when the poison touch seemed to be activated so quickly. Ok, after thinking about this some more I think I have the definitive answer to your question. Bella's defensive response was very similar to that of an actual poison dart frog in that it seemed the toxin was secreted from glands in the vacinity of her neck. Zack touched her on the neck and that's when he came in contact with the toxin. The creep who tried to rape her in the bike shop was kissing her and also touching her on the neck, I believe. So:

1) A rapist who wasn't very "affectionate" might be able to perpetrate the act before eventually getting what he had coming to him;

2) A mating pair of Folterseele who were aware of the perils could probably find a way to copulate without coming in contact with each other's toxin.

I feel very creepy writing about it but, every good question deserves an answer so there you have it. In either case impregnation could occur although, of course, this would not address Bella's fundamental problem of wanting to have a normal, intimate, loving relationship with someone.
