Sheana is right.

Rape is not about sex ... or wanting sex. Many rapists are married and/or have girlfriends.

Rapists are not out to "get laid". Rape is about subjugation

Could it not be, BunnySlippers, that it's just another brand of perversion? Someone that "gets off" on seeing someone in a helpless position or in seeing the sheer look of terror on the faces of those being raped? Why is that so implausible? There are those that "get off" on everything from the inherent wrongness of homosexuality to being strangled or defecated upon.

Sheana is right in that regard. But it remains a perversion, just as homosexuality does, and it has to include sex to even exist. Because there are acts of violence, dominance, and subjugation that have nothing to do with sex. But rape does. I maintain that rape is just another perversion (perhaps more abhorrent than others) but still having to do with sex. If you've some idea or evidence otherwise please let me know.

Just about everyone on this thread knows what rape is ... except you. Just because you have homegrown theories that make you feel warm and fuzzy doesn't make them true.
