<<is rape a sexual act, or an act of violence? >>

My guess is it may be either. One rapist may be trying to spread his seed as the males who spread more tended to reproduce more. Kind of an evolutionary deal. OTOH rape does tend to terrify women, the violence and lack of control over reproduction.

<<More properly: can a sexual act be violent?>>

In nature yes. I've watched mallard duck hens return to places where they have been violently raped even after mating. My guess would be that this insures her eggs get fertilized in case her chosen mate is sterile. Also explains why the greenheads, drakes, don't care for the chicks.
