No one can deny that being raped is one of the most distressing, horrendous and demeaning experiences anyone could have.
It almost always leaves the victim with feelings of self-loathing, self-blame and rage, and can cause post-traumatic syndrome disorder (PTSD).
But have you ever wondered about the rapist? Why do men rape? This is a complicated question with multiple answers, as several factors play roles in producing a rapist.
A sexual assaulter can be any kind of person. This statement isn’t meant to make everyone scared of everyone else; rather, it just means that there isn’t one specific type who commits such kinds of crimes.
Motives behind rape vary and are difficult to quantify. However, studies show that rapists have some common characteristics:
– a lack of empathy
– narcissism
– feelings of hostility towards women.
Sexual assault is not about sexual gratification or sexual interest, but more about dominating people.
It is necessary to first establish that rape is not a behavioral or mental disorder, but a criminal offense.
Although some rapists may have a psychological disorder, there is no such disorder that compels people to rape.
