The excitement for the rapist is the fear the victim displays and the violent assualt itself; not the sex act.

Yes, that is what leftist sources like to claim.

On the other hand, a multitude of scientific research contradicts that view, revealing that only a portion are motivated by anger, power, or sadism. Many prefer non-rape sexual gratification. So I think that correcting your line to "some rapists" would be correct.

Yet in the accusations in the case at hand, it could be simply the alleged perpetrator using his power to get what he wanted sexually.

Thanks Gondring.

I’ll respectfully have to disagree with you this time.

Another view point:

I read that re: rape, sex is the weapon. Something like that.

Some percentage of muggings are less about the money, than in the sense of power over the victim.

In the case of rape, for some percentage the sense of power adds to the sexual excitement. If this was not the case, then paying for a prostitute would make more sense. Even committing robbery and then using the money to buy a hooker would generally involve less risk of jail time than violent rape.
