I think it also relevant to assert that rape is present in nature. In dolphins and primates, that I know of (probably in other species, as well), and that to some extent the urge may be a natural biological function. At some level. Not to say that it is acceptable, just that urge may be as much biological as it is psychological in SOME cases. Hope I've expressed myself clearly enough that everyone knows I am not trying to excuse rapists. This thought just occurred to me while mulling over the subject.
