Rape is a form of torture. Making an enemy of a certain person that likes bow ties, and phez's, is usually worse than torture.

@MiraakDisiple:  Murder is usually concidered worse than torture(unless it's the ones who were being tortured, that are killed). Taking ones own life is also usually seen as worse. Mental torture is worse than physical torture, which is why rape is usually worse than being beat/whipped. I'm sure their are those that find living and life its self worse than anything; for it is within life and the mind that you find suffering and pain.(though it's not the best way of thinking and it has holes in it's belief, it's still a good point)

Apparently, some think giving a man an axe as a possible cure for your daughters Lycanthropy is worse, causr you're "telling him to kill her".(Though to be fair to Clavicus, he simply gave one possible cure.  It was the man that was evil/desperate enough to follow through on that cure.  As it was he that misunderstood, Clavicus shouldn't be the one making the above list's.)

Anyway, back to other things worse than torture: Irl, the ideal that you don't control your own actions, is seen as worse then almost/ if not  everthing else. Cannibalism, for any reason is seen as worse; as long as it's a human eating another human, if animals eat other's of their species it's natural. Hypocritical "police country" is seen as being worse than the cruelty of those that are policed by that country, but usually only to those outside said country.

TL;DR: There are alot of things worse than torture, it just depends on the ideals and beliefs of each individual. To me, nothing is evil; however, I do understand how my own actions and mental state(as well as those of the daedra) can be seen as evil.
