That 35% figure means nothing without the exact wording.  

Personally, I consider rape to be an act of violence second only to
maiming (of the crippling-for-life variety) and murder.  But I do think
that, under the right cicumstances I would be capable of murder.  Thus
I might be capable of rape.                  

What I do not know is if I could ever achieve that peculiar state of mind
required to commit an act of extreme violence and maintain an erection at
the same time.  In my mind, this is the mystery of rape.  To eliminate     
rape, you must create a society in which sexual arousal and violence are
mutually exclusive.

In our society this is not the case.  It never has been.  Why?

Sometimes I think that it is built in genetically.  It might have value
from an evolutionary viewpoint.
