Why do some women fantasize about being raped?

I did peer counseling in high school and have seen what rape does to women. That's why I just don't understand why someone would want that to happen to them.

  • Fuck knows but it's hot as fuck.

    I had a fuckbuddy once who asked me to 'rape' her. She walked home through a cemetery, and she worked at a takeout so it was always pretty late.

    Anyway yeah, her idea was for me to choose a night when she was working and wait for her in the cemetery and rape her.

    Shit was hot as fuck. Seriously, if an onlooker happened upon us they'd have called the cops, it was that realistic. Turned us both on so much once wasn't enough and we went back to her place and fucked again.

    One of the best sexual experiences of my life. Feel a bit sorry for whoever's grave I fucked her on, but still. :D

  • Most women that have this fantasy have it but in a controlled way. Like it's their boyfriend or someone they know doing it (not really rape but pretending). It's the submissive side of them and the dominant guy over powering her that's the attraction for them.

  • Its more of reluctance fantasy, just like many girls like being pursued and chased doesn't mean they like being stalked, wanting to be little forced to have sex takes away the guilt associated with wanting to have sex and obviously it makes her feel as he's dying to have sex with her coz she's so sexy and she has no role in this.

  • Its not so much rape but the idea of being controlled, having your man tell you what to do etc

    Lets be honest a woman is in control in every other part of the relationship, so in sex it is like the woman letting go and letting him do whatever he likes.

  • I don't think they actually fantasise about being raped - they don't want that experience. What they want is rough sex and to be dominated by someone that they trust a hell of a lot and know that they're safe with. They don't genuinely want to be raped.

    • why did u like that!

    • @Jooker I never mentioned how I felt about it.

    • Ok, why did all girls like's rough sex!

  • They don't actually want it to happen to them. It is fantasy and fantasy is not real.
    I read research on this and apparently the arousing part is being so sexy and so desired by a (typically handsome) man that he loses control.

  • I have no idea. It just seems really weird. Maybe they mean they want rough sex? Or to be dominated? That, I would understand.

  • they don't; they fantasize about being dominated.

    anyone who actually fantasizes about rape needs more help than anyone on the internet can provide.

    • How does a guy differentiate between being dominated and being raped?

    • @chrisbigman domination is consensual, rape is not. that's one easy difference. rape is not about sex. it's about control. and it often involves a deep-seated hatred of the person or their gender (often mommy or daddy issues). and, on top of that, it's a crime in which the perp gets off on terrifying their victims.. i could go on, but i shouldn't have to.

    • Domination is consensual until it becomes non-consensual. Then it's rape. Apparently, some people are trying to blur the lines between domination and rape, which will make it even more difficult to prosecute rapists. And you think domination isn't about control?

  • From my understanding, some girls fantasize about consensual sex where the guy holds them down and pretends to force them. But in the end, it is consensual. The girl doesn't actually want to be raped.

    • How can a guy differentiate between forcing them and raping them?

    • @chrisbigman Forcing someone to have sex IS raping them.

    • Correct. So, how can a guy differentiate it? Pretending is a kid's word. Sex is serious business, and so is rape. Pretending has no business in the bedroom.

  • It's not actual rape they fantasize about. It's dominance.
    There's a difference

  • I guess for some it. au be a way of taking control over something that is typically out of their control and very very frightening.

  • that's not the kind of rape they are talking about.

    Normally when they say they say they want to be "raped."They normally mean they want to have really rough animalistic kind of sex. To were the dude just ravages the chicks pussy.

    • scratch out one of the "They say"

    • Then it's consensual not rape.

    • @douride2 They know it's not true rape. It's just that rape is the best way to put into words on how intense the kind of sex they want. Instead of naming a whole list and confusing the dude.

  • I dont have this fantasy at all. I dont like any form of domination either, one way or another.

    • I don't, either - domination or submission.

  • I think it's less about actually being raped and more about the control and dominance thing. They want rough, sometimes forceful sex where their partner is in total control. But the key and main factor is that they are consenting to it.

  • because many women think it is very sexy when there is a man who literally cannot control himself around her because she's just so desirable.

  • Fantasising about rape doesn't mean you want to be raped. Rape is simply non-consensual sex. If you want it, it isn't rape.

  • Because we have all this brainwashing media that romanticizes a violent and aggressive guy. Mix that in with our ancestral history and you got yourself girls who think that getting raped is going to be a multi-orgasmic experience for them.

  • For the life of me I can't understand it either.

  • It's rough sex and domination
    No one wants to be raped IRL

  • People don't want to be raped. People want to loose control and remove guilt or responsibility.

    Example.

    Forced against your will: Rape

    Tied up and fucked by someone I Love and/or trust:
    Really hot sex and stronger orgasms

    People Mis-use the word rape... Partially because they are to ignorant to realize just how horrible it really is.

  • Its about domination

  • It's not the same.

  • Some women actually want to be a victim. Its something ugly thats growing in western society.

  • It's not some... it's most.
    It is the most common fantasy women have.

    Why do they have it... biology.
    Women still have the natural animal instinct where they enjoy the powerful male choosing them and taking control. It's an inherent mating thing. Like a male cat mounting a female cat and biting it's neck, women are still animals even if evolved. They shame us for our animal traits but excuse their own. It's like that with most things female vs male. Our sexuality is evil, their sexuality is "empowered".

  • I think "rape " is probably the wrong choice of word, but a lot of woman love the idea of being overpowered and restrained, but only by a guy they know well and trust. Being dominated and rough sex is a turn on for a lot of women , but it 's mutual consent between the couple

  • I think girls find guys who are sure of themselves and take charge to be very attractive. "Rape fantasies" are just a part of that.
