Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has consistently shown that sexually coercive men have a strong sexual motivation and place a high value on sexual conquests. They tend to view women as objects and believe that their own sexual desires and needs are more important than those of their partners. While some may lack basic social and dating skills, this is not a defining characteristic of sexually coercive men. There is no evidence to suggest that these men are more likely to have extremely low self-esteem. And, contrary to popular stereotypes, most men who commit rape are not homosexuals who deny their feelings towards men.
