The researchers controlled for the possible confounding variable of birth control (i.e that the increased conception risk was explained by rape victims being less likely to be on birth control.) | The researchers controlled for the possible confounding variable of birth control (i.e that the increased conception risk was explained by rape victims being less likely to be on birth control.) | ||
The researchers explained the finding by speculating that the rapists are especially targeting women that are ovulating, but the finding could also be explicable by rape inducing ovulation in women. This may be also possibly explained by the theory that chemicals in rapist's semen induce ovulation in the women subsequent to an act of rape. | The researchers explained the finding by speculating that the rapists are especially targeting women that are ovulating, but the finding could also be explicable by rape inducing ovulation in women.

Further evidence for women to be adapted to rape is their much less specific genital arousal in response to visual stimuli.

This unspecific sensitivity might protect them from skin tears and infection during rape.<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-008-9339-8</ref> Moreover, up to 50% of women report receiving an orgasm during rape.<ref>https://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-05/science-arousal-during-rape/</ref> | ||
Rape should be distinguished from ''sexual coercion'' which has a related, but distinct biological purpose. While rape is predominantly a fast [[life history]] strategy that involves very little investment into the offspring, coercion can be even regarded as a slow life history trait. For example, provided women lose their sex drive much sooner in a [[relationship]],<ref>https://incels.wiki/w/Scientific_Blackpill#Women_rapidly_lose_interest_in_sex_once_in_a_stable_relationship_or_living_with_a_man</ref> by forcing women to remain in a marriage, the offspring is better cared for than it being raised by [[single mom]]s.<ref name="smuts1992"></ref> Due to women's [[sex drive|coyness]], lower [[sex drive]] and unwillingness to initiate sexual acts, some amount of coercion may often be necessary for relationships, sex and reproduction to take place at all, even in a slow life history setting. | Rape should be distinguished from ''sexual coercion'' which has a related, but distinct biological purpose.
