I was looking up the section on "Races of Men" so I could copy it somewhere, and my eyes passed over the section on Rape. It says "See SEX IMMORALITY." So, my interest was piqued to see what McConkie had to say about rape in the section on Sex Immorality. I flipped to that section, and the only mention is the following paragraph:
"Virtue may be lost by degrees; and chastity may be destroyed a step at a time. Immodesty, necking, and petting, themselves a form of sex immorality, frequently lead to much grosser offenses. Every degree and type of lewdness, lasciviousness, and licentiousness; of concupiscence, prostitution, and whoredoms; of sodomy, onanism, and homosexuality; of masturbation, incontinence, and perversion; of rape, seduction, and infidelity; of adultery, fornication, and uncleanness — all these things, as well as many others, are condemned by divine edict and are among Lucifer's chief means of leading souls to hell. Fine distinctions between them are of no particular moment and are not necessary to observance of the divine laws involved. Counsel in the field of chastity is simply: Be Chaste!"
So, avoid rape like you would other forms of sex immorality, m'kay? Unbelievable.
