Im really annoyed at this continuing misconception by psychologists that the mind wants to re-experience trauma. It seems they keep missing the fact that trauma activates a system in the body that forms associations so that whatever caused the trauma in the first place can be quickly identified and hopefully avoided in the future. But avoidance only occurs when the elements of the scene of the trauma does not contain elements of sexual arousal. People, particularly women, seem to be wanting to re-experience the trauma they experienced only because the trauma they experienced contained elements we evolved to be attracted to. And that is procreation. The body doesn't know good and evil. It only knows survival and procreation. What appears to be violent rape to the conscious mind can be interpreted as a sexual encounter by the body. Thus setting up an attraction rather than a repulsion. Then when we who believe this seemingly negative sexual trauma is something the mind should be trying to avoid and yet we witness over and over again women placing themselves in situations that lead to more abuse and trauma we interpret that as the mind wanting to re-experience the trauma. No. The mind wants to re-experience the act it has evolved to understand leads to pregnancy. Its not judging the scene. We need to stop judging the scenes if we want to understand the human mind. To know the mind you have to think like a mind. During our evolution sex has not always been as gentle as we believe it is supposed to be. What we call rape today was just another day at the office during our pre-conscious evolution.
