I think what's relevant is not if a desire for rape is biologically normal/natural, in fact there's one or two feminists that have said it themselves rape desires from men are from a purely naturalistic standpoint acceptable and can't be avoided... What really concerns me is if there is evidence that these neurological and brain properties men have prevent them from controlling their actions making it impossible to avoid raping someone?
And by this I actually mean being completely non controlable, like when you are in a situation of life and death and you kill without thinking because your primary instinct told you to
Here goes a problem - If that was proven true, then that means that just like people with mental disorders are often considered not guilty because it's not their fault to not possess enough psychic faculties to know what they're doing, then sexual offenders as well couldn't be considered guilty since they were born with a desire that is physically uncontrollable according to bennyboy. I repeat, it's not about if it's natural or not or if it exists, but rather it it's not controllable by our brains (Hint - I sometimes feel like beating the shit out of people who piss me off but I don't, I have extreme rape fantasies, me being the rapist, and I don't put them in practice, I just exercise my sexual freedom in the bedroom and if I'm not able to I won't do it - Maybe this is a natural desire? Dunno, but I know I have control over my penis and my body's actions)
Your proposal also ignores the fact that rape is highly related do a sensation of power, control over the victim, that arouses the perpretator, and not only sexual arousal - If it was that, then you can't explain why married or men who are able to have sexual intercourse consented may still rape, not to mention your conception of the highly attractive female with short clothes being drunk is not representative of the majority of rapes that occur repeatedly by the same perpetrator to the same victim, and doesn't imply being overly sexy since victims with different body types, races and beauty trends are raped. It also doesn't justify why men are other men considering the majority are straight, is it really about sexual satisfaction or rather a feeling of power?

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
