The predominance of male aggressor is due to several factors:  Increased sex drive, in part, by increasing testosterone in the blood, which can`t properly be inhibited due to several factors.  Increased uncertainty of their sexual identity, which can promote interest in the exploration of various sexual stimulations.  A greater impression of socio-cultural factors, such as the expectations of their behavior as a male, which are associated with a strong sex drive.
