Its difficult to say, "You're a sick fuck and I want nothing to do with you ever again." I agree, a man who rapes a woman, or makes a serious attempt at it is incredibly repulsive to me. If this had been a one time thing and he said, "Yeah, I was stupid or going through some bad shit at that time in my life." I'd do my best to be understanding and say, well I'm glad that he was unable to actually succed in the rape. Because while the fact that he attempted it to begin with is fucked up, it would be thousands of times worse if he actually succeeded in it. Then he says he still has those types of thoughts. I'd ask if he is going to any kind of therpy to keep those desires in check. I guess there are potential child molesters who have those thoughts through some kind of chemical and or enviromental reactions within them, but they recognize it for the atrocious act that it is and try to get help with it before they act on it. To give someone credit who is able to say, "I have these desires but I can not and will not act on them" needs support from thier family and friends, because without someone there to remind them that its wrong, thier impulses could overtake thier ablitiy to recognize just how wrong they are. Same thing goes for murderers, its often the loners and the ones who's friends and family turn thier back on them who act out on these impulses rather then getting help for them.
