If the increased availability of consensual sex decreases rape, this would indicate that there is a significant amount of rapists that didn’t commit rape because of ill fantasies/desires for non-consensual intercourse, but simply because they couldn’t get some.
Ergo: people we would consider healthy may be potential rapists.
there's a saying, something about "every society is 3 meals away from anarchy". hell, even the joker said something about "you're only one really bad day away from becoming me", and while scary, it rings true -we see it all the time. people throw their whole lives away over trivial bullshit/confrontation/unmitigated risks/etc.
it's really not a far cry from the current status quo (however disgusting the prospect), you're just living in a very privileged bubble. it happens all over the world, every day, and it always has.
I had a somewhat relevant experience in Las Vegas around 2015 once.
It was new years eve and everyone was on the strip.
It was pretty pact.
Then someone called in a bomb threat at one the venues.
Police and bomb squad rushed out and started push the entire crowd to one end of the strip, but also closed off the other end. I'm not sure if it was a miscommunication, or whatever.
One minute, everyone is out having a good time, and being friendly, then we're all being funneled in crowded area with no where to go. It started to get tight, like body to body tight, no elbow room.
5 min later, people started to turn on each other.
A couple of big dudes start shove their way through, not giving a fuck about who was in there way. People start screaming. I got grabbed by the neck and shoved up and on top of an elderly couple. Then punched in the stomach by someone next to me. I watched a woman start yelling at a guy and then get slapped and shouldered out of his way.
People started World War Z climbing of the wall near some stairway near a bridge that hung over the road. I tried to help the elderly couple. I was now squished up against, but after taking another elbow to the head, and someone almost yanking me down by the jacket, I had to start swinging and swimming my way to the wall as well. I was tall enough to pull myself over.
All I could see was a 5 lane street wide sea of people fighting and screaming surrounded by police barricades with cops in full gear surrounding us.
It was like a real life One Shot 2 Shot by Eminem. Or during Firefest when all the rich kids turned on each other.
To this day, I still feel uneasy is crowds because of that experience.
their point is stronger than that i think. the meals one is close but lack of food kills you which is a strong incentive. a lack of sex is not lethal. I would say more than most people do not become rapists when they lack sex.
So the implication is that there are people out there who currently are willing to rape but simply do not have to because they are getting laid. Not that something will change them. They already do not respect consent, and whether they rape or not is a matter of convenience.The people they are having sex with are operating under an illusion of consent. A lack of consent would not actually stop them.
And you can see it in the description of many rapes. People who try to manipulate or gaslight others into thinking "we already started so now we have to finish". As in, "if I can rape you and get away with it, I would, so why dont we just do this the easy way?"
