I like that answer, we need more lawyer guests in the forums. But my question comes around the practical rather than the emotional. The widespread idea is that rape is about power and overpowering a victim so that penetration doesn't even matter in the act. But why would you risk it if you did not get a satisfaction in return?
My question would be, how can a woman rape another woman while she herself cumming in the act since cum is the first goal of a serial rapist.
Same guy as before and, yeah, no. I'll spare you the full dissertation, but if getting off was the only reason, there are much faster, easier and safer ways. They'd just masturbate, or get toys, or hire someone, or use tinder, etc.
Same token, and same argument, you wouldn't know what the term 'cop a feel' meant if it wasn't a thing, and there'd be no practical reason for anyone to do it by that same logic.
Aside from stuff like spur of the moment stupidity, usually while drunk (and you won't find a stronger opponent to the diminished capacity defense than I am. Both sexes, btw) you're usually going to find that there's something else going on, even if it's just being pissed off or truly abject stupidity. Again, I'll spare a rant here, but 'satisfaction' as you said means fulfilling a need, and a need to get off isn't the one people will have, though being sexually frustrated can obviously play into it.
Bottom line: The line of thought here is ultimately demanding that irrational behavior fit into a rational mindset. I'm an eternal pragmatist, and I'll tell you right now that the practical answer is to stop looking for one. It's honestly like trying to serve soup with a slotted spoon. It's just not the right tool for the job. If you insist on it, it's just not going to work and the harder you try, the more of a mess you'll make and the more people will give you strange looks.
