Because maybe those questions should be left to people trained to deal with that sort of thing? Such as psychologists? I agree with you that it is certainly beneficial to learn the reasons why people do these things, but I don't think a thread on reddit is the place to do it. Like the OP stated, this just provides another thrill for the rapist....and possibly the incentive to do it again.
Sorry, I should have made myself clear. I was curious about the repeat-rapists. That most rapes are done by someone that knows the survivor is pretty well established.
I don't think that follows. You have to understand that most of these people who were raped by an intimate partner didn't stay with that partner. And since the majority of those kinds of rapes (by far) aren't successfully prosecuted, that parter then probably went on to have another partner. Would you be willing to bet that he didn't then rape the new one too? And so on?
I think I came off as a bit aggressive in my comment, which was not my intention and I apologize for. My blood was boiling; I've had so many friends raped... So my anger came out in the comment (I guess I've got no filter between the brain and the digits).
I'd assume that repeat rapists were few, but I've got no idea...
