Why Do People Rape..?

Question

I Know its a weird question to ask but i hear about people getting raped and stuff like that and i really do feel form them and i feel terrible for that person and i wanted to know why people want to do this to other people

Thanks :(

Answer 1

the people who do it are confused and need help. both, physical and mental. its like a mess going on in their brain. most of theses people regret it once they come to their senses, but their action has scared  two lives. theirs, and that of their victim. its terrible, but people make mistakes.

Answer 2

Have you ever loved someone, or wanted something but couldn't get it. Thats one of the reasons, we as people got emotions and feelings, when someone and something hurts us really bad our natural way of reaction to it its hurting them or it back to level the playing field,and before you know it and realized it, horrible things happens!! i should know i thought about doing things like that to someone i felt in love with but didn't love me back, and i thought of things such as rape to get her to be with me, but as i looked back i though of the people that i would hurt the most and that would be my family, yes my feelings and emotions were disrespected and hurt but if you really love someone so much you accepted and let it go, because you'll only hurt even more and bring more pain to the people you love the most and its something nobody wants!! ;( I'm still in love with her!! but i never hurt her so i let her go and till this i thnk about her everyday. sorry didn't mean to get out of subject, but anyway, people with weak emotions and feelings that can't control themselves do such things and thats wat happens. Some people don't realize that hurted someone and some are just plain animals acting in cruelty!!  

Answer 3

people rape other people because, in their past someone sexually abused them and its the only thing they know. some others rape just to feel the pleasure of seeing someone being hurt. rapists are usually in a state of mind where they feel numb to what they are doing..  

Answer 4

rapists are usually sick people and rape usually has to do with Control more than s*x

it is hard to know why anyone really would do something like that, i am sure there are many reasons

if you are interested in things like this you might look into some psychology classes

Answer 5

cause its like little kids think adults are cute something liek that and humans just get in the mood so they do it and than sometimes they regret it. and others are jsut bad people who have no life and nothing to do

Answer 6

well ofcorse being a rapest i know all about that.

lol lol jks jks

nah i duno like cos they cant get someone to like them. or because they want the trill but did you know alot of women have had or have rape fantasys.

and hey Yo Janice D

not all men are like that and there are some women rapests out there but only the males ones a publicised.

and they say guys are sexist

Answer 7

people often rape as a way to feel in control over women or a situation in their lives involving women. Also in some people it can be an outworking of a hatred toward women or an outlet of some hidden emotion that cannot come out in a healthy way.  

Answer 8

Rape is a crime of violence where the perpetrator gains control over the victim in the most heinous manner possible.  Rape does not have so much to do with s*x as it does with violent control over the victim.

Answer 9

becasue they need a sexual satisfaction and thats the only way they can get it.

studies suggest rape rates are lower in areas where p**n is widely available. call it dumb or digusting, but if they can wack it, it will stop them from raping.

Answer 10

Because hookers and big $$ and the economy is tight.

Just kidding…it is related to dominance and them being complete Fing losers.

Answer 11

Usually people rape not because they cant find a woman that wants to have s*x with them but because they like to humiliate their victims.

Its a mental disorder thingy.

Answer 12

theyre usually people who used wanted to be loved but were terribly rejected. now intead of loving, they just take what they want.

Answer 13

here are a couple reasons

~they might be pedophiles(sexually attracted to adolescents)

~they were probably raped all there life

~they are very sadistic

honestly i have know idea they probably find it funny in some sadistic way but i don't have the mind of a rapist so i couldn't really say:/

Answer 14

many different reasons..

most of the time its about control,having that power over someone,...a lot of the time rapist are mentally unstable, sometimes there maybe no reason at all....it all depends on the rapist

Answer 15

everything ive heard n read points to the fact its a power issue not sexual issue. they want to show power over this person, mayb they feel weak or they want to show someonelse they are strong- but its basically about power and humiliation  

Answer 16

usually they have a mental disease, and i dont mean like they are retarded, i literally mean that they are messed up in the head.  

Answer 17

you know its so sad to hear things like that but rape happens all the time, i read in this psychology book that people do things like this because of what they have gone threw before, like when they were small children, some  were physically and mentally abused.  

Answer 18

yeah I know that is horrible and i get so mad people do that.

but i read some rapist

they rape because when they were little they were sexually abused

and they want to have the control since when they were little they didnt

thats no excuse though.

but some they just rape because their rude and dont care for peoples feelings. stupid rapist.

Answer 19

A lot of people have control issues...

Im sure there are various reasons for a mans emotions to get so out of whack that he would do something like that.  I have met people who still dont think rape is a crime... convince women ask for it... its sickening.

I think its a sense of dominance and control... or rejection for that matter... feeling as if they couldnt get any without forcing it...

Regardless of why... it's something horrible that I wish we could stop.

Answer 20

I believe its for a sense of empowerment.  They are usually stronger than the woman and the control and power is what they feed on

Answer 21

If it's really rape and not just a change of heart or a domestic disput gone bad, then rape is a power trip for the man.  Some people say it's not about s*x, but I think s*x/lust can also be a motivator.  Men are basically dogs, and some men are more aggresive than others.

Answer 22

Control and power. s*x is usually a secondary desire. People who are pushed to being powerless or wants to show dominion over a particular person. Which is why it is so prevalent in war. You have sexual attraction of a woman attached to power over that woman already (the soldier has a gun). He wants to prove his domination (rape).  

Answer 23

For a variety of reasons but usually it is a struggle of power.  Some people get off on having dominance over another.  Consequently, some people get off on being submissive.  A well known poll that was taken for women's fantasy's found that many of them had some sort of 'rape' fantasy but a pretend one with someone they trusted.

Some people just can't control their hormones or have serious mental disorders.

Answer 24

Rape is a terrible crime.  The rapest is perverted and sick, as well as violent.  Rapests are evil and dangerous.  Rape generally affects the victim permanently, and without counseling can ruin her for life.

Why do these violent perverts do it?  They do not care about society's rules, decentcy, respect, God or much of anything else.  It's all about them and their perverted desires.  These dangerous predators need to be locked up for life - for a 1st offense, but then I'm a little biased.

Answer 25

The guy who raped me had put GHB in my drink. He raped me because I wouldn't sleep with him willingly. He was my boss at work and he kept trying and I kept saying no. Well I went to a party at his house with some of my friends and he put the drug in my drink and the rest is graphic and gross. I kept waking up and passing back out the whole time and kept telling him no but it didn't work. I think he was just a pervert.

Answer 26

WHY? Why people commit rape, Good you asked this.

I asked myself many times to find a suitable answer, but could not. Then i changed the question a bit and asked myself "Can i commit a rape?" will i really do it if yes then what will be on my mind that time?

Surprised - yes i too was that what i am doing to myself. But latter i got te answer. Its something this:  Every person has a group of inbuilt instincts of different kinds, which are also present one each in every animal. So we can say everyone has many different animal instincts residing inside him. Which instinct grows up fully and which ones are suppressed and left untouched forever are the deciding factor for the actual character of the person.This again depends upon his or her childhood background, surroundings he/she is growing up in, and lastly his family background and social impact.

Hence i feel if some persons develops an animal instinct towards s*x to a high level and all other defending feelings are not working on him, even if given a free s*x he will try to force it on his partner.

Some couples happily married also try to pretend rape among themselves, this is again a big question to me why? but they really do. Is this to satisfy their desire without letting out the animal inside, and doing no harm to anybody else or disturbing their social status. Though all are not that lucky to have such partners i guess.

So lastly i can only say people with disturbed instincts commit rape.

I hope u agree with me?

Answer 27

People say its because they are ugly and f*cked up and stuff however as a Police Officer, and previous physiologist and a degree in science I can tell you that people rape due to troubled history and immense depression or brain issues, this has recently been discovered.

I can give you a deeper in-look if your require, however its all due to the way the mind works and the mysteries of the average human.

Yours,

Craig.

Answer 28

Because they're sick minds. Not only do they do it to adults, but they rape children as well.. even babies. Right now there's children being abused. We live in a very messed up society and I think the government should consider conducting periodical psychological evaluations on everyone at the age of 15 and up before being let out into society.

Answer 29

Unfortunately people cannot always bypass their genetically built in survival instincts, such as the drive to mate or kill.  This has been good for humanity in a way because we have lots of s*x and lots of babies, but for the most part we have learned to suppress and/or control these instincts.  However, in our current society I think that if a person cannot fulfill something in their lives to make them feel loved, important, powerful, successful, etc a lot of times the only way they know how to feel in control is by dropping down to those basic instincts such as mating, killing, or what have you.  It seems that sometimes the only way they can feel alive or real is by fulfilling their basic survival instincts - i.e. rape if they are not able to mate with a partner consensually.

Answer 30

People rape other people because they need help. Wether they are deprived of something, or know they cannot have something they will rape someone, in search of a release, or the feeling of :oh yea, i just took control, Im the best, I have power" feeleing.

I was raped in '06, Its something that I also have researched asking "why?"

Answer 31

Take a look at how the young ladies of today dress(or should I say NOT) .   Hardly a thing on.  They know it, they flaunt it.

   Then they emulate moves and actions and words "Come on baby, now do me, uh huh"as they sing some tune.   So, what were they asking for?.  They did go to school.  They do know what those words individually mean and together what they mean.          

     They ask, they receive.   Hormonally driven guys will deliver.  

      

       Unfortunately, the charge of "Rape" has become a convenient cop out for women who had "second thought" about their selection after the dirty deed was done.
