People don’t rape children, or anyone, because they are just too horny and can’t restrain themselves. People who seek positions of power that often give them a huge Benifit of the doubt and then rape children, didn’t end up in that circumstance by accident. Rape isn’t sex. It isn’t about being so sexually stimulated you must force someone else to have sex with you. Rape is abuse, and the point of it is harm and domination. There’s a lot of data that supports these facts, particularly psychological studies, but there’s even more than that, let’s look at some data about rape. The vast majority of rapists abuse a victim that knows them well. Friends, family, or even their spouse or partner are the most frequent victims. This is not spontaneous behavior, victims are carefully chosen and often groomed for the abuse. This can be years of preparation. This isn’t something you do because you are just too horny. Next let’s look at the victims they choose, who is more likely to be raped, a child related to the rapist who is old enough to talk and talk clearly, or a child too young to speak at all, or too young to communicate what’s happened to them? The child less able to talk is higher risk. Is that spontaneous ‘‘I’m just so horny’’ behavior? No, that’s calculated behavior. Children with disabilities, particularly disabilities that make it hard or impossible to communicate effectively, are also higher risk of being sexually abused than children who don’t have these characteristics. Looking at adult victims, elderly people with disabilities that prevent them from communicating are also higher risk for sexual abuse than elderly individuals who can communicate. If a rapist is selecting victims who are, very young, very old, or disabled, do you honestly think the motivation is sexual arousal? These are not people considered sexually appealing in western culture right now. Another point is career choices. Rapists tend to look for jobs, even getting years of education to obtain these jobs, that give them access to ideal victims, children, the elderly, disabled children, and so on, preachers, youth pastors, school teachers, law enforcement, any position in hospitals from doctors to orderlies, nurses, imaging techs, or janitors, some of these professions are aware of this, and go to great lengths to make these jobs have very limited access and opportunity to harm potential victims, and some don’t, but again, is a rapist going to get a 4+ year education, or work their way up through a profession to get access to victims if the motivation was being sexually frustrated? No. That’s not what’s happening. What’s happening is rapists want to rape someone, and many have been known to select victims they aren’t even personally attracted to in their sex life. It’s not about sex, it’s about abuse.
