Women who are raped rarely experience sexual arousal. High marital happiness, substantial income, and high status of mate are associated with more copulatory orgasms in women(nhr52)
A sexually coercive male may succeed in the competition for mates by coercing mating even though he loses in male-male competition for females and is not chosen as a mate by a female(nhr54)
Many aspects of female social behavior- including pair bonding with a male and female-female alliances across species-may be explicable as adaptations against male sexual coercion(nhr55)
One could argue that the behavior of females might be more influenced by rape than by non-sexual assault because females find being raped more unpleasant than simply being beaten(nhr59)
Such persistence without cooperation or encouragement is evidently not a universal feature of male sexual psychology in all animal species(nhr62)
Rape is disproportionately committed by males with lower socioeconomic status(nhr67)
Rapists are characterized by backgrounds of repeated frustration and failed romantic and sexual relationships. Men emerge from this developmental background with a perception of reduced ability to invest in women, an expectation of brief sexual relationships with women, a reduced ability to form enduring relationships, a coercive sexual attitude toward women, and an acceptance of aggression as a tactic for obtaining desired goals(nhr69)
Copulations that attractive men report as forced will sometimes or typically involve significant female sexual arousal including orgasm. Also, women in such situations will often desire to continue dating such physically attractive men even after the seemingly coercive sex(nhr70)
Rapes and other sexual assaults of males by males constitute only about 1-3 percent of sexual assaults, but data show that these sexual assaulters also prefer youthful features in their victims(nhr73)
Rapists are predicted to deliver large ejaculates because rape would consistently have been associated with high sperm competition in human evolutionary history. The woman's resistance during rape is expected to be perceived by the rapist as indicating that she has an investing consensual mate(nhr74)
Males might have been selected for quicker penile arousal and ejaculation during rape than during consensual sex(nhr75)
Incarcerated rapists exhibit significantly more sexual arousal in response to depictions of sexual coercion involving physical force than men who have not been convicted of sex offences(nhr76)
Male scorpion flies prefer to provide mates with nuptial food gifts and rape when they cannot provide such gifts. Males prefer to provide resources. This is because females prefer males with nuptial gifts and try to avoid rapists(nhr79)
Males that employ the rape tactic are smaller or less symmetric than the males that use nuptial gifts. However, experiments reveal that all males will rape in an environment in which nuptial gifts are exceedingly scarce(nhr79)
Rape yields much lower male reproductive success than resource provisioning because many rape attempts do not lead to genital union and because only about 50 percent of rape matings result in full insemination(nhr80)
Female struggling acts to select mates that are capable of holding onto them(nhr82)
Female struggling maybe a female adaptation that helps females mate with males of superior phenotypic and genetic quality(nhr83)
There are less costly ways for females to gain phenotypic and genetic information about males from males' non-coercive signals and from the outcomes of male-male agonistic interactions(nhr83)
The act of rape has consistently reduced female reproductive success during human evolutionary history(nhr84)
In the event of rape more psychological pain is expected in a young and fertile woman than in a female of pre- or post-reproductive age(nhr86)
When rape led to conception and to production of the rapist's child, the woman may have expended her limited parental effort on offspring of lower genetic quality than one she could have produced with a partner of her choosing(nhr86)
It is also highly possible that selection favored the outward manifestations of psychological pain because it communicated the female's strong negative attitude about the rapist to her husband and/or her relatives(nhr88)
Married women were found to be more traumatized by rape than unmarried women(nhr90)
We expect that studies will find that male victims' pain is related primarily to perception of loss of status. A raped male is socially impotent when it comes to influencing the behavior of the perpetrator(s) and may be viewed by others as socially impotent in general. Because of the strong, positive relationship between status and reproductive success of males in human evolutionary history loss of status is anticipated to stimulate psychological pain in male humans. We expect also, that age of victim will not predict psychological pain after rape in men(nhr96)
When a female scorpion fly is raped and inseminated, she returns to sexual receptivity twice as fast as after consensual copulation. This allows a female to choose a mate bearing a nuptial gift soon after a rape(nhr98)
A rape attempt sometimes involves a long chase, during which the female tries to get a dominant male to disrupt it. But should a subordinate male succeed in inseminating an unwilling female, the female often immediately expels a portion of the rapist's ejaculate(nhr99)
Among certain ducks, a male typically copulates with his partner immediately after discovering that she has been raped by another male(nhr100)
The ability of women to reject the ejaculates of rapists, if it exists, is clearly incomplete, since some rapes do result in pregnancy(nhr104)
Sociobiology is now re-emerging, primarily under the new label of "evolutionary psychology"(nhr107)
Rape-murders are a very small percentage of all murders(nhr137)
Less than 5 percent of rape victims are over the age of 50(nhr139)
The common mallard duck males guard their mates from rape while the mate is fertile and then neglect them to attempt rapes of other fertile females while their infertile mates incubate eggs(nhr145)
Males of the small morph are about the same size as females, travel as fast in the trees as the females, tend to be avoided by females, and run females down for rape. Small males occasionally undergo a sudden growth spurt and turn into big males. Small males remain small when there is a large male in the vicinity. Unlike the big males, the small males avoid male-male fights. Female orangutans lack pair-bond mates or kin who might thwart rape attempts(nhr145)
41 percent of rape accusations to be false as evidenced by the women's own recantations(nhr160)
Since it is during the teens and the twenties that competition for status and for sexual access to females is most intense and most crucial to a male's reproductive success, punishments that impair such competition may be the most effective deterrents to further rape(nhr165)
There is little or no evidence to support the assertion that either castration or hormonal treatment leads to non-sexual aggression(nhr167)
Men with high rape proneness have higher incidences of reduced investment by parents (e.g., absence of the father) and of negative or unproductive heterosexual interactions(nhr175)
Any desire to be raped must always have been selected against in human evolutionary history since it would have interfered with the fundamental reproductive strategy of females-to choose mates on the basis of the benefits they are likely to provide(nhr183)
