In some of these cases there could have been consensual sex but that wasn't what the man was after so there was a rape instead. Rape is a crime of violence and dominance regardless of what relationship there is between the victim and the perpetrator. Even if there were teasing going on (which I doubt is the case in most cases) men do not have uncontrollable sexual urges. That certainly is a convenient myth for some people. Lori Fuller drutx!lmf
