If, as Densinger claims, rape is based on a lack of close human contact, then
we have to ask why people try to substitute forced sex for unforced affection.
It seems to me that the answer is that somewhere along the line, people have
been convinced (brainwashed) that sex equates with love (as in "if you love
me, you'll...").  If people were convinced that dancing were a sign of love,
they might very kidnap people and force them to dance with them.  (I'm not
trying to trivialize rape, but to draw an analogy.  No flames, please.)

It does seem that when people say they "aren't getting any," they mean "love"
rather than "sex."
