Reply #8: Like all crimes against your fellow human, the motivations can be complex. [View All]

Humans, unfortunately, are fairly complex organisms. Even the basest of them. I believe that saying rape is always about power/control is as misleading as saying that murder is always caused by hatred. To be sure, the element of control is there in some fashion even, say, for a deviant who drugs his victims in order to facilitate some exploitation, sexual or otherwise. However, it may not always be the dominant factor.

Human thoughts and motivations are a product of our experiences and choices-made.

Motivations behind crimes of this nature, I believe, may be complex in many cases.
