It is ridiculous to say men who rape are more tempted by and / or see women wearing skimpy clothes that makes them lust after her or helps excite them to rape in any way.
Men like naked women. It's pretty much a fact. Put a rapist with a power lust in front of a woman wearing skimpy clothing and a fully dressed woman. Which one will he most likely go for?
I think a lot of you want to justify the fact you can wear what ever you like (whilst you can) and not get looks or judged or a couple snide remarks from other people. You also want to justify that you are the victim, and yes you are.
Men who rape, they still have attraction, they still have lust and desire. My boyfriend found me attractive when we first met. My ex-boyfriend also found me attractive when we first met - 2 weeks into the relationship, he attempted to rape me. It was the attraction that first brought us together and then when he realised I was 'easy prey' and had low self-esteem and had a lack of confidence, he used his power over me to try and rape me.
Men who rape don't have one thought in life, which is rape. For starters, they don't think of it as rape - which is wrong, but it's true. Secondly, they do have lives and they do have the same attraction and lust and desire like I mentioned before. They also have a power lust, which is a personality trait by the way. And almost all of them have a mental issue with control, they have to be in control and when they're not, they get violent (either physically, verbally or sexually). But you cannot solely say that this one thought of power or control is what motivates them to rape. They have a million other feelings going on in their heads, attraction being one of them. They're more often not, physically attracted to the women they rape. And it is a fact that men like women who wear little clothing - they find them PHYSICALLY attractive. Like
@Barberian said about porn. A massive population of people watch porn, why? Because the women are either dressed very provocatively or naked - it turns them on. Little clothing often equals a turned on man, if any of you have had sex with a husband or wife or are in a relationship, would know this.
Throw a control issue (most likely stemming from a rough childhood) into the mix and you have a turned on (by your appearance) man with a control problem, how is he going to get that control, what can he control? Well he can control you. He could control you in many different ways if he didn't have that physical attraction to you. He could stop you seeing friends, stop you going out, he could even stop you eating and that would all give him a sense of control and power over you. But why rape? Because he's likes how you look, it turns him on sexually. And so he finds a way he can control you whilst getting the pleasure he seeks, i.e. rape. 1) you're most vulnerable when you're naked or exposed, 2) he's going to get his pleasure out of it, 3) he's getting that sense of control and power over you.
Men have to have a prior attraction to you, physically and sexually, before they set out to rape you. Otherwise they would find control and power in other ways and see to themselves in regards to sex. Either that or this man who has control issues but does not rape women, can still have sex with them, he'd just want to feel in control during it. Anyway, my point is, there needs to be that prior attraction before they rape you - this is the case for men in a relationship who rape. For women who get raped on the streets, there is a slight attraction but there is more sense of control and power if a man rapes a woman in a dark, vacant alleyway.
