I am deliberately writing taboo things because why the hell not. I have come this far, might as well write the remaining stuff.

I wrote elsewhere that I think atleast 5% of men want to be rapists, and the threat of going to prison is the only thing stopping them.
I think part of the reason I believe that is that my past self from teeange can actually relate to them.
I will write something here, I hope it is not too deanonymising:
I definitely had multiple experiences in middle school of people cheating on various tests by asking me for the answers.
I did at some point consider asking people for things like showing me their boobs in return for the answers.
Is it technically possible for someone in my shoes to have made some version of this work, yes. Would I have been able to make it work, absolutely not, my social skills were terrible and I would have only gotten myself into even more trouble. So yes, I'm glad I didn't ask for stuff like this.
I definitely spent non-zero amount of time in teenage thinking what it would be like to rape someone, if I lived in a world where there were no legal checks against it. And I don't remember very well what my conclusion was because mostly the conclusion was something like, I don't care that strongly either way, I do have mild preference for it not to happen, and something.

As an adult who has actually had sex (lol), my opinion has become a lot more like, absolutely nothing about raping someone sounds fun to me. Approximately 75% of the fun of having sex for me is knowing that the other person is into it too.
As a teenager and a virgin, I didn't realise this fact, because I lacked experience.
(I want to write some stuff about paying someone for sex, but like, sex work is illegal in India so I don't think I am allowed to talk about it publicly.)
Honestly, for most people, I don't see what raping someone satisfies, that you cannot otherwise satisfy by paying a sex worker. My guess is the primary thing it would satisfy is if you get off specifically on making this person suffer, or dominating them, or similar.
I personally don't get pleasure out of making people suffer, so I cannot relate to this drive. My default is to distance from people and switch off my empathy for them. "I don't care if you live or die"-type of sentiment. Wanting someone to suffer means you still care about the outcome, and I very instinctively am like, that is stupid, I cannot relate to that.
