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.
