No, it doesn't support the idea you just wrote at all.
If that were the case, their first page would contradict the rapists' statements and some of the conclusions Scully and Marolla reach. Of course, one would need to get to the end of the article rather than the end of the first page (the portion you're quoting) to flesh that out.
In any case, your opening statement was that you hadn't seen any studies directly interviewing rapists. The Scully and Marolla peer-reviewed article does exactly that. I now realize I forgot to include the link, it's publicly available on JSTOR
here.
As a bonus, as is typical with all research articles, the researchers have provided a literature review. The first three pages cite a string of researchers who argue more directly for the "rape is about power" concept. A quick jump to the bib will give you the complete citation. Hence, my "start here" comment...
