You can't "mentally rape" anybody.
Jimmy Carter once said that he committed "adultery of the heart."
But he didn't commit adultery.
It isn't that simple, many murder and rape crimes are premeditated.
Yes, but the point is being attracted to someone isn't a dangerous thought process no different from intending to forcibly have your way with them. Finding someone attractive and thinking you'd enjoy sex with them isn't the same thing as premeditated thoughts of rape which would lead to sexually assaulting or raping someone. For that particular crime is about power and not sexual attraction anyways...so it wouldn't even make sense to suggest having sexual attraction is the underlying thought process that would lead to rape.
I completely agree that desire is natural but at the same time, you are equating that person to a sexual object or a means to an end instead of seeing them as a person. There is a difference between looking at someone out of intrigue versus perversion.
Many people believe rape is associated with physical power but on a deeper level, psychological and sexual power are the real culprits. It is an attitude and that can become a consensus, look at the rape culture in countries like Pakistani.
Wanting to have sex with someone you have never met is not a perversion. Getting sexual gratification from coercing someone into having sex with you certainly IS.
Besides, in places like Pakistan women are not allowed to show off their bodies in public!
