That thing we are discussing about 5x01

The dialog from the scene:
F: Do you want to see my scars? What do you think? Do you like them? Yours are gonna look just the same
H: My team
F: Your team, your team didn't catch me untill I wanted them to. You're not in charge so don't be foolish. Now try to relax. Your body will go numb (knife goes in) and it goes in so much easier if you relax. The hard part is not passing out from the pain. (Foyet pulls the knife our slowly) Now I understand that profilers think that stabbing is a substitution for the act of sex, that if somebody is impotent, they'll use a knife instead. Is that what you think agent Hotchner? Maybe this will change the way you profile. (knife goes in)

So what do you think did the scene mean?

Ah, the way I took it was that if profilers think that stabbing is a substitute for rape, then Foyet was (conceptually) raping Hotch by stabbing him--so either Hotch has to stop profiling like that ("will you still think that after this" line) or he himself is a rape victim; with Hotch being so strong and self-reliant, I think that thinking of himself as a victim of anything, much less rape, would be devastating.
