performing an act that gives him sexual release and can make a baby. (Babies don't get

I think I mostly agree with Sidney on the subject of what motivates rapists. Certainly when you read of violent younger men raping very elderly women, it is hard to imagine that the motive is sexual excitement. And there are many instances of rapists who are unable to perform sexually, and end up violating the women they attack with foreign objects. Then there are the psychological case studies I have read where rapists seem to be the victims of childhood abuse of all kinds, which would suggest that the rapist feels powerless and full of rage, and lashes out in vengeance to try to right his psyche. Not very sexual, really, in my opinion.
