Sometimes I wonder what is this world coming to? I hate when somedays I watch the news, how they talk about children,and women being sexually abuse. I wonder about the people who do things like that, like how can they sleep at night knowing the person who they violated, is struggling, and feeling unsafe. Being sexually abuse messes up a lot of marriages,and relationships. I just pray that this type of violence would stop in this world.

Sexual and violent impulses are controlled by the reptilian component, or R-Complex, of the brain. Empathy is the result of the brain's limbic system and complex thought is a result of the neocortex.

Some people, such as most politicians, display strong R-Complex qualities but less limbic and neocortex related behavior. I do not know if there is a relation between the expression levels of these systems, but it would make sense that, if someone for some reason, had strong sexual and aggressive desires but low tendencies for empathy, logic, and though that they would be more likely to sexually assault someone. The question would be how these expression levels occur. It could be a result of society or it could be genetic.

Sexual predators don't feel bad. They thrive on the power of it.

I honestly don't know. I don't think there is ONE reason that there are so many sexually abusive people on this earth. There are some ****ed up people on this earth. Maybe it's because they had terrible childhood, terrible lives in general, or have mental illnesses. And there is no use spending all of your time searching for the answer, and always focusing on the bad. This isn't to say just ignore all the bad things in life, but if sexual abuse is an issue that really concerns you, I suggest that you find a way to help fight it, or help those who have been sexually abused. Volunteer somewhere or become a councelor instead of just wondering at the horrors of it.
