No. A person with high testosterone is more agressive, but rape is a mental disorder. We try to put it off on the rush of power a rapist is supposed to be feeling, but a rapist is a mental case. A rapist can have a high testosterone level, but that only speaks to the agressive nature and not to the rape itself.

No testosterone levels have nothing to do with rape

Scientists have reported higher testosterone levels in men who are convicted of violent crime but not specifically rape.

I would like to see a study on this as I have wondered myself. It seems like it could cause havoc with the body in some way. I'm not excusing rape before anyone comes unglued, I'm just curious if there is a connection also.

No, if so then we would have straight men rape males just due to high testoterone. Its kinda like an abuser saying he has an anger problem. Like he only hits you , but not his mother, boss, sister, or best friend.
Women have diseases with high testoterone and they dont rape, so do some drugy football players. No excuse.

High testosterone levels is absolutely no excuse for rape.
And besides, rape is usually not about sex, it's about power.

no but it does make people more aggressive. to rape you'd need to become a waste of life criminal... if you are using juice/roids you need to stop and this isn't the place to make a confession if that's what that was... but if it's a cry for help then good, you may need it

rape is a crime of assault, not of sex. It's only because the "weapon" of choice confuses the issue

No, rape is not about the sex, it is about the power and control of the act.

no - mental illness is the cause. Oh yeah - Islam is another reason for rape.
