Anyone here with a Psychology Background?

I've been called a psycho on numerous occasions; does that count?

I'm no expert, but in my opinion, the appeal of non-con fantasy is that it absolves the victim of any guilt. If you willingly engage in some sort of edgy sexual activity, you leave yourself vulnerable to feeling guilty about it later on. But if you are forced into it against your will, no matter how much you enjoy it, it really WASN'T YOUR FAULT. So you don't have to feel guilty.

At least, that is my very superficial and not at all expert view of the subject, for what it's worth.
 
Looking for a collab on a non-consent, basically conduct an interview with the female victim.

Unless you are a trained individual yourself you are playing with fire. I've experienced domestic violence in the past and there is no way I would talk to an author on an amateur site who wants to write a story about a shit time in my life. I would imagine survivors of sexual assault would feel similar.

not to mention the risk of triggering readers.
 
I've been committed twice, does that count? :rolleyes:

Not really.:devil:

My cousin is a psychologist, that's about as close I as I come to being one. Although, I was a cop for a spell. Saw a lot of wackos during that time. Have tried to tell the victim it wasn't her fault and all that other psychobabble they tried to teach us to say to rape victims, etc.

As for collaboration... I'm having a hard time writing my own stuff let alone trying to help someone else. Sorry.

I pretty much agree, although my thing is more submission than non-con.

More than anything it was my future husband's confidence and the way others deferred to his knowledge and analytic skills on the job -- we worked together -- that made me notice him. He saw what it was that was missing in my life and pushed my boundaries without rushing me along.

It's a common enough tale. The combination of well-meaning but strict parents who pushed me into their version of success; and well-intentioned but rigid teachers who imparted a baccalaureate-level education in 13 years while 'protecting' me from learning about those things they considered 'base.'

It's complicated, we are human and have reasoning ability far beyond that of other creatures. But we are animals too, with biological desires. Ones that may seem frightening to ourselves without an absolutely trustworthy guide to benevolently 'control' one's behavior.
 
I've only been able to read one or two stories in the category, but I felt that a sense of betrayal was part of the appeal too.
 
Sorry for the delay in replying.

What I was looking for is someone to interview the victim, they would have the "report" to go off and the reason that the victim was engaging their services.

victim's assault wasn't sexual, but it led to a fantasy about a non-con encounter(s).

Victim would be a female police officer.

So, the victim is distraught and her small police department has a single web site for all city services. She clicks the wrong box ...

_ Orthopedics
X Pathologist
_ Psychologist

She makes an appointment. Surpriseingly he says:

"Officer, Maplethorpe, you can come right over, no problem."

She arrives at his office on the ground floor of City Hospital and explains everything rapid-fire to the Pathologist, while he tries but fails to ask why she is in monologue mode. Then he gets turned on by her fantasies. Then they act them out together. Finally after its over, she asks ...

"What does it all mean?"

(No knowledge of psychobabble required.)
 
Troubled by depressing dreams, Sheila hesitantly walks into the Phrenology Dept at Miskatonic U in Arkham, MA where Dr Cthulhu examines her skull bumps and prescribes a strict regimen of Thorazine. Calmed, she unwittingly allows the doctor unlimited access to her body, mind, and soul. Hilarity ensues until she renormalizes. Alas, she is then passed on to the MU water-polo team, the Fighting Cephalopods. Her skull rings with their battle cry, "Go ′Pods!"

Mea culpa: I aced all my college psych courses but that was long ago.
