Rape goes down dramatically, which would not be the case if it were about power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-89700875280950866922007-07-30T06:43:00.000-07:002007-07-30T06:43:00.000-07:00"sexual violence is not sexual"I've heard things s..."sexual violence is not sexual"<BR/><BR/>I've heard things said like this before.

When a man gets an erection and ejaculates as a part of violent activities, it seems to me safe to say that sexual pleasure is part of what it's about. These sicko men are aroused by violence, domination, humiliation, etc., but much of the fuel and gratification is sexual. A great deal of male sexual deviance is a sex drive that has become attached for some reason to unusual things (e.g., exhibitionism, children, force, mutilation, torture). Only a feminist would say that a man doing something sexual has nothing to do with sex.Ron Guhnamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421460508647618774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-32507235278314753952007-07-29T11:09:00.000-07:002007-07-29T11:09:00.000-07:00Are many male serial killers actually motivated by...Are many male serial killers actually motivated by sexual pleasure?
