What Is the Psychology of Men Who Rape?

Introduction

A rape is a form of physical attack when one individual coerces another for the sexual intercourse against the persons wish and consent. Expert psychologists believe that a rape is primarily a cause of aggressive desire rather than an attempt to achieve sexual fulfillment. It is a violent act; therefore, the victim is not necessarily to be threatened with weapon etc, only the coercion and force are sufficient.

Reasons

To Get Rid of Frustration

Men do not expostulate during rape, is suggested by various researches. Men usually target those women, who need to be disciplined and do not talk to most people. Such women consider themselves as superior. Therefore, men rapists use assault to punish such women's. Men through such an aggressive act vents out their anger and frustrations. This proves the point that men rape due to the reason of controlling and punishing women who do not act upon their rules of behavior (Fessier, pp. 406).

To Procreate

Men Feel Jealous of Rapists

In most cases, men feel jealousy from other rapists, if they do not get a chance to rape any women or girl.
