Rape is one of those things that leaves victims scarred long after the actual event. They begin to second guess themselves...Did they encourage it, did they somehow ask for it? Did they actually enjoy it? Was it rape or actually a date? Why couldn't they have seen what was coming and so on?
There is no cure, only acceptance and understanding that you were a victim... after what can be a long long time. I once had a patient who was so guilty because she remembered her own orgasm's, while her father raped her as a child at 11-17. She thought she wanted it!!!
Not true of course! What causes men to rape? It is a multifaceted answer, but essentially it starts with resentment toward women, and ends up being a control thing. Showing they are superior, that they can make their victim do anything they want..and so on. It gives the rapist, a sense of power, but the cost to both sides, is enormous on an emotional level.
Men who are repeatedly raped in prison, often are never able to accept their masculinity again, and often commit suicide, or other acts of self mutilation.
Get counselling fast, it won't solve the problem overnight, but it is the only viable solution.

Could it be the same reason they rape any person. defeated and challenged ego's dominance , complete control. the pleasure at seeing a victim beg, cry. scream or die. The hunter of prey. does not think they to will be hunted nor do they think they will face a just strike against their person or possessions. they do not fear the death they take pleasure to inflict upon another.

Many mammals have some kind of rape function at some time or another, even primates. It can be control, it can be a quick thrill. I don't think it's so simple to say all rapists are crazy or control freaks. if it were simply control, there wouldn't have to be sex involved.

you mean WHAT? not wot! some men have chemical imbalances in brain they cannot control! others are just vicious contro freaks who want total domination over females! in either case, rapists need life jail sentences and if a man kills a female whilke raping her, then the death penalty must be established! or maybe just cutting off his genitals!like the ARABS DO!

Rape is a control issue.

can be lots of things, repressed memories of sexual abuse earlier in life, the need to be in control, thrill of committing such an atrocious act.

control issues, a chemical imbalance in the brain, abusive childhood, or just being teased too far!

I have learned that it's about control and not about sexual pleasure.

The word "No" and the fact that they don't care about it.

Sex as punishment.
