Don't know that people really steal stuff they can afford very often. I guess if they did it would be a "thrill" experience. Consequences super low, morality impact lower on scale.
apples to oranges
The vast majority of people who steal stuff can 'afford' it, if they had to. There's a difference between scarcity and inability. Nobody starves to death in America, nobody needs to loot a high definition TV during a riot to buy bread.
People didn't go out and loot stores en masse because they needed the products to live, nor because they were so poor they couldn't afford it any other way, nor as some 'thrill' experience.
They stole because the opportunity existed and consequences did not, and it benefited their desires.
Heterosexual male rapists overwhelmingly target young, defenseless women. Rapists are much less likely to target young women who can defend themselves, or the elderly or young children who can't defend themselves. Homosexual male rapists offend at about the same rate, but target other men, more likely young ones.
And its all explained by common sense and the obvious biological motive possessed by all humans, not to mention all sentient life on this planet
