Yes, and not every rapist is a serial rapist who goes around preying on everyone he can get his hands on. I think those guys are a minority within a minority. More commonly may be guys who did it once and later regretted it and never did it again, or in between (went through a phase in college but later got married and settled down).
There's also the fucked up part where people can rape without understanding. I was raped by my high school boyfriend, and I didn't view it as rape until I got further education in college. I had been under the impression that consenting to sex meant I was consenting to all sex acts and thought I couldn't revoke my consent.
The church literally taught this fucked up version of consent to children.
