Have you ever fantasized about playing out a rape scenario, in private, as either the rapist or the victim? Assume both parties have consented of course.
it turns me on having all the control.
My partner and I aren't really into "resistance" scenes. However, we are pretty into some fairly rough play when it comes to our BDSM and D/s that involves a lot of loss of control on my part, which we both find to be really hot. I've never had any fantasies I'd think of as "rape fantasies" - just kinky, tie ms up and use me fantasies.
However, it's very, very far from being a fantasy of mine. My therapist has been helping me come to terms with the fact that my ex-husband raped or sexually abused me several times (even though the majority of our sex was completely consensual), and I think at this point, indulging a partner would be a huge step back.
As a rape victim I find it really...difficult to understand. Because you can't WANT rape. There is no consent with rape. There is no safeword.
Rape is something that is done to someone, against one's will. There is no safe word in rape. There is no consent. If you are consenting to someone doing something...it is not rape.
I don't think it's healthy to romanticize rape, which is what the term rape fantasy says to me.
BDSM/kink is totally fine. If thats what people want to do, sure. Consent is key, and there is no consent with rape.

Let's face it- if you agree to have sex with someone and only pretend it is rape, there is a much lower chance of accidental pain/trauma than there is if someone is whipping you while you are gagged/blindfolded. Yes in both situations people should be very careful and keep their limits known. What I am saying is I find roleplay a LOT less extreme than actual slapping/whipping/etc.
I personally have an absolutely gigantic kink for the whole 'rape' thing. Maybe not in a for-realsies setting, but I'm very okay with the setting being played out with my partner. My problem is, I like sex enough that I can't pretend to dislike it, so we're going to have to figure out a way to make it more realistic, though not to the point that it's actually rape. It's confusing. :/;
I'm also kind of annoyed by the fact that so many people are getting flagged for admitting to having these fantasies. Come on, people! I know it might offend you, but have you ever thought that flagging a post where someone admits to having these fantasies could be damaging to them? It's a pretty sensitive subject, and all I see from this flagging is people getting told they should feel bad for having these fantasies... rude. ):
