I'd say that's more of a side project to a person's big goal; just as a pedophile might dream of being an astronaut.  The pedophilia is just an unfortunate part of him.  Then again, if a man's ultimate desire is to be accepted as he is, there would be an interesting conflict for the rapists and the pedophiles.  I know a rapist can satiate his desire with make-believe, as people who want to be raped (a contradiction as I see it but I can't vouch for them) can also fulfill this desire.  But a rapist who wants the real thing is never going to get what he wants without a hitch, lest he do so without witness.  So I wonder, do some people desire to rape, or is it an act of desperation for being at a disconnect with those around them?  Imagining a better society than we currently have, where people would find it easier to develop relationships with one another, would we also see a decline in rape?

I'm no sociologist, nor a psychologist, but my guess is yes.
