ORIGINAL: Spiritedsub2 I've seen the articles that cite power and control as the motivation behind rape, but to me it seems obvious that rape is about violence, both physical and psychological. Well, thanks for the disclaimer. I appreciate that after the swipe about intelligence. There certainly are different motivations leading to the decision to rape, but the popular social science view of rape is that there is no sexual motivation inherent in rape. It is literally said (and repeated) that rape is not about sex; it's about power, control, and violence, despite the fact that rape, by definition, involves overt sexual contact. The well documented occurrence of coerced sex in the wild among other animal species set aside, such claims create a false dichotomy in that they see sex, violence, and control as exclusive elements that are not, in any way, connected. The reality is lust, aggression, and control are wound quite closely in the instinct of sex. I have yet to read any paper or comprehensive study that proves sexuality is absolutely not interrelated somehow. I think what we have, instead, is a social agenda behind such sterile truisms that would rather not see the primal, chaotic, and daemonic force that sex represents or gives rise to. Anyway, apologies for the thread hijack.
