Actually, if you think about the plot of this film completely rationally, and not as a projection of human fears and desires, what does Kong want with Ann Darrow? He can't be in love, an ape wouldn't find a human attractive and sex is physically impossible so...
He wants her as a pet!
Seriously, he's an old ape, last of his kind, and what do humans do when they're the last of their family and are old and alone? They get a little dog or another pet! And well, some humans have monkeys as pets, so why shouldn't Kong want a smaller primate as a pet, if he finds one that he thinks is cute...
