Another aspect to this question is how do we define sexuality? Do we
regard issues such as rape and child sexual abuse as a form of
sexuality, and risk giving it credability or do we regard it as a form
of violence/control and thus risk loosing the sexual connections? The
most common defense for rape is along the lines of "she was begging for
it" and the word pedophile "means child" love and was thought up by the
pedophiles themselves who tend not to be able to recognise that what
they do is wrong or harmful.
