Ok, it would be arrogant in the extreme to say that all Doms are sublimating a desire to rape, or that all subs are sublimating a fantasy of being raped, but I think it's clear that the power exchange aspect of S&M play often contains elements of both or either.MelancholyBaby said:As for S&M being semi-rape, I think that's quite a leap. If I get sexual fulfillment out of being hurt or hurting (provided the person I'm hurting likes it and wants me to do it) how can that be related to rape in any fashion?

Katamari Roller said:Hurting another person in a sexual act is part of rape. But because S&M is, if you will, "consensual rape" (yes, I know that sounds strange), then that's why I call it semi-rape. Because it is not complete rape, yet it explores a few features of it (pain, domination or submission, bondage, etc...).
Katamari Roller said:Darla, I didn't mean to say I thought people were crazy for liking rape fantasies. In fact, I have had them too, and "done the deal" imagining them. I like them because of the same reasons you do, although I am a bit more physical about it. The violence and sensations play as much a role as the feelings in them.
But that still doesn't mean I don't find rape disgusting. The act is disgusting, the fantasizying on the other hand is not as bad. And I did feel guilty after the deal, knowing this was a real problem somewhere else in the world, and maybe not even that far.
But still, the fantasy is quite appealing. And I read somewhere that it is one of the most recurrent fantasies, actually...
MelancholyBaby said:I understand and am sympathetic to why this is a sensitive subject, and it should be. I think roleplaying rape is about a few things. It can be about power and control or the lack thereof. It can be about humiliation. It can be about rough sex. It may not be all or exclusively those things to everyone who is interested in experimenting with rape r/p, but I think those factors are a good starting point in trying to understand why someone would be attracted to it.
As for S&M being semi-rape, I think that's quite a leap. If I get sexual fulfillment out of being hurt or hurting (provided the person I'm hurting likes it and wants me to do it) how can that be related to rape in any fashion?
