http://www.rapecrisis.org.uk/faq.html...Are men motivated by sex?The myth is that men rape women because they do not have 'legitimate' access to women for sex. The idea is grounded on the belief that men have uncontrollable urges that must be satisfied. In fact, men's sex drives are no more strong than women's. If it was purely a biological urge, then masturbation would satisfy it.Men rape women to secure power and control. Men commit child abuse to secure power and control. Men are therefore motivated by power -- using their penis to achieve this is just a way of gaining power -- not a way of gaining sexual relief. http://www.silcom.com/~paladin/madv/s...The story of sexual assault in our culture is not just about rape. Rapists are not born, they are made, And remade. And the culture which makes "them" also makes "us". The question of why (some) men rape is thus connected to the question of why sexual violence is tolerated. This connection exists at a double intersection: between attitudes and actions, between violence and notions of masculinity. We are all connected to these intersections because this is where we have grown up as men.Gillen, K., & Muncer, S.J. (1995). Sex differences in the perceived causal structure of date rape: A preliminary report. Aggressive Behavior, 21, (2), 101-112. Examines perception of date rape and finds males needs for dominance is a clear cause of date rape.Miner, M.H., West, M.A., & Day, D. (1995). Sexual preference for child and aggressive stimuli: comparison of rapists and child molesters using auditory stimuili. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 33, (5), 545-551. Study testing convicted men of sexual crimes to determine convicts preference for children and tendencies of aggression.Seto, M.C., & Barbaree, H.E. (1993). Victim blame and sexual arousal to rape in rapists and nonoffenders. Annals of Sex Research, 6, (3), 167-183. Examines the effect of victim blame on sexual arousal. Subjects who raped strangers vs subjects who raped acquaintances blamed the victim for the rape.Malamuth, N.M. & Brown, L.M. (1994). Sexually Aggressive Men's Perceptions of Women's Communications: testing three explanations. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 67, (4), 699-712. Tested three explanations on how aggressive vs non-aggressive men view in communicating with women. The more aggressive men view this communication differently. The article concludes that 1) aggressors are incompetent in decoding women's negative emotions; 2) aggressors fail to make a distinction between a woman's friendlines s and seductiveness and between assertiveness and hostility; and 3) sexual aggressors use a suspicious schema and explanation and discount the authenticity of women's communications.
