Is it weird to get turned on by rape?

When I was young (11) I liked to watch movies about pregnant women in tough and life threatening situations. Then it developed into liking rape scenes, then abuse and even incest but specifically a man's violence towards a woman.

I have no idea what the root of this is. I was assaulted but it has no correlation to my preference and happened before I figured out why I like specific scenes so much. I didn't enjoy what happened to me which leads me to believe I wouldn't actually enjoy rape. But I can't help but fantasize. Something about dominance, male strength, taking something and being a woman who is defeated and forced. Whenever there are rape scenes my stomach gets odd feeling almost like butterflies but with an urge.

I know rape fantasy is semi normal but I have had an sexual obsession with male violence towards women from a very young age and want to find out why.

  • I think it's just the fact that some women like the submissive sex

    • You one of them?

  • We have things we like. My ex and I thought it was good cardio as long as we have a word in case we need to stop

  • maybe you watched to much porn or were exposed to it to young

  • No, your experiences aren't that uncommon.

  • Weird is a subjective term, but it's definitely common. Most women fantasize about rape even though they wouldn't want to be raped irl.

    • I wouldn’t say most, but a lot do as a way to avoid the guild and responsibility for making that choice. It’s kind of of like being forced to do something you want to but don’t want to take responsibility for

    • @Subarugirl Hey, I think I know you. You work at the Subaru dealership, right?

    • I work at a Subaru dealership, That's common knowledge around here.

  • Me too. Both men raping women and women raping men. I'm not proud of it, but I can't help myself. Whenever a rape scene comes on in a movie, or I hear someone's story from real life, I get instantly turned on, no matter how brutal it is. There's nothing I can do to control it.
    I think it's because I myself am a sexually frustrated virgin, that I understand the rapist's stand point. Wanting someone/something so bad, that you'll do anything to get it. And I get turned on by the idea of the rapist getting turned on from getting some. And from the victim's standpoint, I see it as somewhat flattering, to be wanted by someone that badly.

    It's weird though, because although I've had rape fantasies myself, especially when I was younger. I don't think I could actually rape or get raped in real life, especially since I can't get turned on unless she's turned on. But I can't help but get turned on when I see/read about it happening to someone else.

    • Also, I really like the idea of her trying do hard to stay so pure, then having that purity compromised. But a lot of those girls were slutty to begin with, or they don't want to admit that deep down, they want to fuck, but they don't do it because of their religion or whatever.

    • Pretty much all of what you said was very relatable to me. Its not very often that I find people who have the same experience and thought process. Its literally a biological reaction to the scene or hearing it like you said but because of the nature of it, it's not exactly something you can tell people about.

    • Also, I hope you don't mind me asking but, what are some movie scenes that you liked?

  • You (and people) have to stop using the word "rape", as it's the dominance and submissiveness you like. Not actual "rape". But I think a lot of people are. Even me. Like I would NEVER rape someone, nor should anyone be rapped, but visually to watch it, it's a turn on sometimes (depending how exactly).

    • The word rape is just the easiest way to explain it and as I am someone who doesn't understand what's going on with myself I couldn't put it into any other words.

    • Oh I know :) But two different things.

    • I'm beginning to understand better as I read the comments about consensual non consent, but I still feel that might not be realistic enough.

  • Normie.

    • Are you also?

    • @boredguy007 Ya, and like every other girl. It is weird not to

    • Haha. ik would you mind dropping a follow?

  • It probably gets the adrenaline going, most of us get that rush when we're confronted with danger also with movies we know it's not real.
