Thanks for your comments. I tend to think that it is more about sex than some folks want to think. I will accept that there are cases where foreign objects are used, and that tends to skew the issue. It’s a form of perversion at that point, absent consent.
There are so many willing playmates out there these days. Young men should be scoring just about any time they like. This just seems so unnecessary.
I do understand the war/conquer quotient in this too.

Might depend on the proportion of assailants that are sociopaths. According to sociopaths, they will have sex or rape but are not interested in sex in and of itself. I was surprised when a number of sociopaths described themselves as asexual. But we know sociopaths can be serial rapists or simply constantly promiscuous men. But when asked, the sociopaths report that sex or rape is just an unimportant tool used to get what they want (control of someone else) and that its the violation and control of another human that generates the closest thing to pleasure for them. It’s not realistic to try to “profile” how they think - it’s too twisted for a normal person to grasp and some people have reported that doing so seems to be damaging (traumatizing) to normals. For example, trying to really “understand” a perp who could rape a 100 year old woman is not healthy, your mind would have to momentarily embrace unthinkable, warped thoughts. Not that a person would then be tempted, but that humans were never meant to bend/break their minds like that. This comes to mind when we are asked to “understand” terrorists who kill gleefully - actually getting inside their minds an trying to embrace their world view just long enough to “understand” would not be psychological healthy for any normal person.
