Well, what happens is that an apparently more "powerful" person inflicts sexual hurt upon a weaker, inexperienced one.

It seems that the "abuser" needs to do this.
It accomplishes for the abuser the satisfaction of a need to express "love" and at the same time to inflict pain.

While I agree with the definition as to why one would abuse....... I have to question the first reason given for those that abuse - for I do not feel that "needing to express love" is apart of abuse for everyone...... maybe that of a spouse or significant other that sexually abuse their loved one (maybe ?), but not that of the regular run of the mill rapist.
