I think Terror is the operative thing in rape. It happens that Violence is another way of inflicting Terror. Terrorizing someone can give sick people quite a rush. I think "psychological violence" is probably a silly term. I think the reason Violence comes into the discussion is because of the amount of psychological damage done to the victim. Gee, my thoughts were a little clearer to me a little while ago, but I seemed to have lost it. Oh, well. -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins); Path= genrad!mit-eddie!rh
