i am a psychology major. one of our assignments was to analyze, if you will the reasons people play sexually oriented rpg games, and also, to explain how this could help in identifying seriel rapists. please help if you can.

Considering there's no established link between playing 'sexually oriented RPG games' and 'being a serial rapist' (completely disregarding the many, many other unfounded assumptions laying there), it would be extremely hard for you to write a convincing answer to that assignment.

It sounds like you're being asked to first guess, then speculate wildly. It might be possible to analyze why people play a specific 'sex RPG' to some useful degree, or why a specific serial rapist might play sex RPGs, but your assignment as it is is highly unscientific and thus very difficult to answer correctly. My advice is to bullshit: there's no falsifiability anywhere, so unless you can approximate what your professor wants you to say, you may as well say apple as you may say orange.

I would analyze the assignment itself in order to find out what it is your professor thinks about this.
