Uncanny indeed.As always,you have hit the nail on the head.I have been thinking about this very thing,that is, the connection between sex & horror.
Is sex not the beginning of all horror? The society likes to pretend that sex does not exist.Its swept under the rug & yet its all pervasive.
If we could find a way to kill the libido, then all the horrors would recede.

Its the libido which forces one to seek out others..& thats when the horror starts.Underneath it all there is just the DNA molecule driven to replicate itself innumerable times ,& it does not give a rap about the individual,so long as it gets to replicate.
Now,think of the incestuous rapist,the pe..phile -lets look at them clinically,shall we?

They do what they do.Can we condemn them?Well,yes,but only if you believe that they possess free will.
Both of us know,they don't have free will.They too are driven by the DNA molecule hell bent on replicating itself.And never mind if a child is scarred for life or a woman is left with a broken spirit.
Even the perpetrator of such so-called heinous crime is left to wallow in self pity & sorrow when he is no longer in the grip of the lust.He may end up in a prison & get raped himself,may end up becoming a drug addict to assuage his twisted soul,who knows.

And then?
And then the child born as the result of the incestuous **** may himself become a perpetrator  & it keeps going on & on & on..
This is a world where nothing is solved. Someone once told me time is a flat circle. Everything we've ever done or will do we're going do over and over and over again.
