Define natural.
I answered yes.
My understanding of what is 'natural' would suggest that rape is natural.
An overwhelming amount of species in the wild commit rape, including our closest relatives chimpanzees. I refuse your notion that humans are not animals. It's an incredibly arrogant idea IMO, the kind of idea that religious fundies would love to believe so that they can say evolution is false.
Just because we have a moral compass that tells us it's not nice, doesn't make it any less natural than picking your nose.
