Do you understand why people rape?

It's mostly about power. We had a disturbing (We have plenty of disturbing rape cases in Sweden ...) case where this 96 year old woman were raped by a young African male ... And that can't have been about anything else but power.

I think that the issue with rape is that if a man grows up with the belief that a woman is a lesser being he has little issues with raping her if he doesn't view her as an equal.

This is the issue with a lot of immigrants that commits despicable rapes in my country.

Then we have the other kind of rapist, the one who gets drunk and takes a girl home ( Here I have to say that as a girl I'd NOT join a drunk man to his place unless I wanted to have sex with him ...) and once they get started she says no because she does not wish to have sex with him. He doesn't listen to her because he's really horny and in his drunken state he believes that she just needs some convincing.

Girls and women are more than defenceless victims though, you gotta be smart and careful when you are out and involved with strange men. This is the sad truth.

You don't get cookie you rape cookie

Never understood it.
Its a behavior dysfunction and must be treated like that in a psychiatrist.

Its evolution. The rapist gene survives because it makes people raperoduce. You rape what you sow.

The flip side to that is that its not rape if shes dead!

We all have intuition, so anyone can make a guess at why. The only people who have a chance at actually understanding are people who have actually done it. And even they can only speak for themselves.

I can see why people do it, but even considering raping a girl, no matter how attractive she may be, is just beyond my limits.

Oh derp. That last bit of the first paragraph should be "while the other said this was NOT, in fact true." That made it sound like we both agreed, but we didn't.

Because their sick, twisted bastards!

Why people rape? Well, because it is actually not such a big deal. There are just as many robberies and murders each day, yet, we seem to remain unsettled mostly about the rapes. It is something that can happen in an instant, without previously planning it or making a deep judgement about it.

There are different gradations of rape. If a husband has sex with her wife even though she refused previously, it can be considered rape already. If a man does something slightly different from what was agreed on with a prostitute, it can be rape too. If a couple has sex, but both are absolutely drunk, it can be rape.

And yet, we get other extreme cases, in which the victim ends up beaten up or even dead. Or when someone has sex with a little child, even if it is from the same family. Or when they drug or kidnap someone to get sex.

So... pretty much for me, rape itself is something we can all get close to. Rape alone is a regular crime, but the context surrounding the action is what defines whether or not it is a serious offense.

I dont think its about power. Its just bad desire.

i think they want to have sex a lot of the times. maybe theyre mad cause they cant have it yet others do so easily

Based on what I remember, it looks as though they temporarily lose their sanity and they seem almost as shocked as you. Except for them the out-of-body like experience is pleasing whereas for the victim it's a defense mechanism. It doesn't really hit them until afterwards that they just raped someone. Rape is probably one of the least planned out crimes, so the motive isn't usually clear. It's usually a momentary lapse in judgement.
