Why don't most survivors of rape fall pregnant?

Rape has very little to do with sex. It's mostly to do with power and control. The perpetrator wants to terrorise the victim and make the victim feel weak and helpless. The rapist wants to gain control of the victims thoughts, emotions and actions. It is due to this reason most rapists do not ejaculate.
