A lot of the time the pure language of these hamsters serves to confuse the reader even more. The very term "consensual non-sensual" makes no sense nor does it deserve our attention for any other reason.

[–]christiefrontdrive 88 points89 points90 points 12 years ago* (8 children) | Copy Link

OP: "Why are rape fantasies so prevalent in female erotica?"

Top response:

Because a lot of women have ravishment fantasies.

Certainly true. If only there were a handy 4-letter word for these particular types of ravishings, the ones where consent was not given or implied...

I love how you say "ravishment"... Because, contrary to popular belief it is not really "rape-fantasies". I will steal that.

"This isn't how I experience things (or this is what I claim, anyway), therefore no women have rape fantasies. Thank you for giving me a word that means something different than what I'm talking about, so I can torture and bend and contort this new phrase to suit my agenda. It's the Empowered way".

Rape is a horrible, traumatic experience. Ravishing is much more consensual.

More consensual? B-b-but women have confidently assured me that this was black-and-white, yes-or-no deal? If she didn't say yes, you raped her, right? Could it be that there are subtle cues and wordless messages broadcasted in her look, demeanor, body language and disposition? Perhaps even involuntary clues like sweating, increased rapidity of breath, and the expansion of the pupils to such a noticeable diameter the phenomenon is known as Come-Fuck-Me Eyes?

Man, that one was hard to get through.

I might be preaching to the choir here, but quite apart from any sexual issues in that snapshot, the amount of people talking like rape shouldn't be allowed to be written about is mind-boggling. These are the same idiots who think storybooks were invented to babysit their kids. A story is a story, the author writes what he or she wants and if a character is raped and nothing bad ever happens to the rapist, so be it. It means as much as Jack stealing a pair of shoes from a cobbler. It's fiction. You can't hold fiction up as some kind of strange segment of art where the characters are supposed to be moral and righteous and evil gets slayed at the end because that's what makes you feel good. What happens in a fictional tale is exactly what was meant to happen. Books have an immense power to shape our senses of morality and introduce us to fantastic new ways of thinking, but that's not an obligation for every author to fill.

EDIT: Thanks for Gold.

[–]Sufferix 7 points8 points9 points 12 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link

Though you're getting downvoted, I want to know what you are implying.

[–]Villaintine 4 points5 points6 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Initially I'd made the comment as a joke, but since it's attracting attention:

Preface: before following my train of thought be knowledgeable of the topics in the sidebar including female hypoagency, herd mentality, and that women act on feels and "in the moment."

  • Assuming the difference between rape and sex is a question of consent on the part of the woman
  • Woman rarely give concrete verbal consent- it's more a thing you have to judge as you progress
  • Women rarely take in the full interpersonal ramifications to their choices until much after the fact, once their feels have become less engaged- hence "regret rape" actually being a thing.

This just supports the thought that consent and by extension rape are vague concepts that not only change in time based on societal pressures and values (as women tend to keep a herd mentality and the values of the group may not at all reflect the desires of the individual at the time of "ravishment") but also that they are not binary in nature and exist along a spectrum based on the feels of the woman at any particular time.

Think "ravishment" on one end of a spectrum and "rape" at the opposite end with shades of grey in between and depending who is asking/judging and what repercussions could occur and you could have completely different answers on whether a situation was ravishment or rape.

As for the downvotes- I couldn't care less. Popularity on the internet holds no value to me. Edit: formatting (probably failed there as well)

Urban dictionary on "ravish":

A really fucked up oxymoron. It can mean to fill with joy, delight, charm, captivate, attract. QUITE contrarily, it can also mean to rape. How these things are congruent enough to where they are described in one word, I do not know.

Considering the Oxford dictionary equates ravishing to a man raping a woman I don't buy that they're not rape fantasies at their core. It's scary that they want to draw such a fine line to differentiate the two.

[–]frazzleddd 46 points46 points46 points 12 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

Just be a mind reader bro. It takes all the stress out of it

[–]deathhand -1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Ok! So the default answer is 'yes'...correct?

[–]DogInTheBath 3 points4 points5 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This fine line is the reason for the debate. But it is too reliant on the individuals perspective or interpretation for it to be relavant to anybody. How are we supposed to know? We have no way of knowing other than feeling or instinct of knowing what the other person is feeling. A woman knows when she wants to be ravaged. The problem is when they accuse men of rape when it was consensual after the hamster realises she was unable to get what she wanted from the man (a relationship or otherwise)

[–]frazzleddd 43 points43 points43 points 12 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link

That entire thread is just full of feels justification. They're all describing rape but say its ok because the heroine or whatever actually wanted it and labeling it "ravishment." It's funny because its always so black and white but when they're vaginas are wet they will hamster away to justify.

[–]1whatsazipper 22 points23 points24 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

The language. It's important. They associate a different feeling to rape and to ravishment, even though the act is the same; in this case, it implies that a high value man they would desire is doing it. Most women want to be sexually dominated, that's the typical basis for their fantasies.

[–]iKill_eu 14 points15 points16 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I've written to this before, but nothing is worse to a woman than to be dominated by a beta. Hypergamy isn't just about losing control to a man - if a man she perceives as being low value is dominating her, what happened to her power?

[–]xandel434 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Low value man dominates her = rape High value man dominates her = ravishment

[–]Headhongular 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Subconscious hamster logic: "Would I make money off having his baby?" Yes = ravishment No = rape

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points22 points 12 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

Well they're not fantasizing about being ravaged by an unattractive (read: creepy) guy, I'm sure it's a high value fantasy. It makes me wonder how relationship dynamics existed in humans prior to the creation of formal languages.

[–]InsanityManifest 25 points26 points27 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

There is a scene in the film "Quest for Fire" where a paleolithic group of humans are hanging out by a fire.

The female of the group is lounging, stretching, and writhing by the fire in a seductive manner. Basically, her body language is saying "I'm horny, come fuck me". One of the males (illustrated throughout the movie as beta) shuffles over to the female and tries to mate with her. She rebuffs him and runs to the alpha of the group.

The alpha rapes her. There's screaming, whining, and some "resistance" but she doesn't flee the alpha like she did the beta. She is small and nimble enough that she could have run away, but she doesn't.

It's not a fantasy...It's how humans reproduced for thousands of years.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I think I've seen it. Where's she going to run at night with no fire and predators all around?

[–]InsanityManifest 10 points11 points12 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

She knows how to make fire, and was wandering around by herself when she met the group. She knew how to survive. Crappy situation, sure but if she really wanted to escape, she could have.

My point is, she takes the easier path and clings to the alpha for protection, knowing damn well he's going to take advantage of her.

[–]Endorsed ContributorRed_August 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

"Ravishing" is also why evolution has counter-intuitively allowed women who don't cum or have a hard time cumming to still exist and pass that along. It doesn't matter.

[–]wheres_the_k 15 points16 points17 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Emphasis mine:

celestialism 19 points 13 hours ago (22|5) I don't know what the official dictionary definition is, but yeah, that sounds like what I'm thinking of. It's one of the most common sexual fantasies among women. I think it has to do with the fact that we receive cultural messaging telling us we're not allowed to be sexual initiators or sexually aggressive, so some of us may feel more feminine and sexy when we envision ourselves having zero agency/responsibility for a sexual encounter.

Duly noted.

There is no such thing as partial consent. That's why you stop if you are anything but 100% sure your partner wants to have sex. If there is any indication of discomfort at all you stop and start a dialog. That means you stop if your partner is stiff, uncomfortable, acting weird, intoxicated, not talking, not making any noise, not taking off your clothes, not taking off their clothes, or anything that seems off. You're an adult, you should be able to pick up on social cues.

Or she could say "stop."

She's an adult, she should know what the word means on those red octagon quit driving for a moment things they put up at the end of streets.

"That's why you stop if you are anything but 100% sure your partner wants to have sex." Yep, nothing screams "ladies man" like a guy who keeps stopping his thrusts to ask "are you ok? Is this good for you?"

She has a point. Being impregnated by unhealthy beta seed is not sexually attractive to women. But being impregnated by healthy alpha seed is, even through rape, and possibly especially through rape.

Of course, she doesn't have enough honesty or self-awareness to say this right out, so she has to wrap it up in euphemisms.

[–]monsieurhire2 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

"Unlike actual rape, ravishment centered around the idea that the heroine is soooo desirable that the man must have her even though society says it is forbidden."

and

"The woman is always tempted, but resists out of societal propriety (i.e. "we shouldn't, you sexy thing!" not "No. Get off me!"), there is no intent to hurt and she feels swept up and dominated, but not violated. The ravisher is always the object of pre-existing desire, not just some guy."

Seems pretty straightforward. Ravishing is forbidden consensual sex.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

And yet that is not an exhaustive index of the desires that women are actually having. Many women have fantasies that the primal nature of a man demands he cast off the chains of society to take her, it's true. But many women also have forced sex fantasies. It is wrong to pigeonhole all into "ravishment fantasies" when many have power-play fantasies that do not fit that narrow definition.

"Ravishment" is the socially presentable side of these power-play games, just as handcuffs, rope, and whips are the socially presentable side of Bondage.

I agree 100%. My last girlfriend obviously had them, although we never went full-blown ski-mask, she liked being constrained and subdued.

People will fantasize about whatever is forbidden and horrible, because its the only safe away of realizing those experiences without actually undergoing them. It's the same thing with people who are into bondage.

I don't judge them for having these fantasies.

I do agree that ravishment is a "safe" type of rape fantasy. To actually have a rape fantasy would cause a lot disturbing cognitive dissonance for a lot people, it would also stir up controversy, because people would have concerns about glamourizing and promoting actual rape.

I'm sure there is a small outlier of sick women out there that actually go out and try to get raped because they get off on it. The getting drunk / acquaintance rape at parties phenomenon is a weak form of that tendency.

Feminists have been trying to split hairs over "rape fantasy" and "ravish fantasy" forever. They have to - they cannot acknowledge that the defining characteristic of the fantasy is being powerless, of being unequal. So they construct this term ravish or maybe they give it a BDSM sex-positive spin, so they can make it about him doing these elaborate, approved things to her to give HER stimulation.

It's like there's a giant elephant in the room. Women, in these fantasies, are generally not thinking about being "forcefully fucked into love-submission" or whatever; they are envisioning being raped. Like actually overpowered and forced, despite their best attempts to resist it, to get fucked. She is always objectified and used as a hole in her fantasy, the dude in her fantasy isn't performing "ravishment moves" in order to stimulate her.

Of course, the other elephant in the room is that if 75% of women will admit to having rape fantasies, what does that mean for men? Of course - no one is willing to say it, but men are fantasizing about raping too. Why would biology build one fantasy into women and not a counterpart for men? Ladies, you're male best friend who seems oh so sweet is fantasizing about moving you from the friend zone to the rape zone. Guys are busting nuts to various types of rape too, and these guys are normal dudes, alpha and beta.

You can dress guys up like metrosexuals and teach them not to interact and communicate with masculine - feminine polarity, and act like our culture has gotten past rape, but the truth is, it's hardwired into both men and women. A man having power that in some way, whether violent or situation, forces a woman to submit WILL get both parties aroused. We've all thought of ourselves as a professor plowing some 18 year old cheerleader who has to because she doesn't want to fail the course - RAPE. It isn't violent rape, but it's rape.

Rape is horrible and all, but society needs to come to terms that it is a part of our psychology. Humanity may not have progressed to this point if humans weren't raping - many other animals entire reproductive process is based on rape. If you really want to solve a problem like rape, you will never get anywhere if you cannot bear to look into the ugly reality of the problem. A refusal to 'go deeper into the rabbit hole' is what results in these stupid "ban this game, dox this guy, censor rape porn, expell students to appear hard on rape" catastrophes.

Women fantasize about being raped by men whom they've already pre-approved for mating. The act of rape, in that case, is simply further data proving the strength of the pre-approved male.

They don't fantasize about (nor would they likely respond positively to) being raped by men whom they haven't pre-approved for mating, regardless of whether they manage to overpower them (and, let's face it, it doesn't take much to overpower a female).

In short, women want to be objectified by men whom they've already objectified, themselves. That's what a rape fantasy is.

Yea, because society invented the idea of "wanting to do something."

that would be society inventing justice, not consent

I totally agree, rape is bad, but we as a society need to recognize that it's human nature. I believe the average sentence for a rape conviction is around ten years. I think it should be closer to two years. Certainly keep it a felony, but currently the penalties are too stiff for an act that hasn't been considered a crime for most of human history.

[–]Spooge_Tits 2 points3 points4 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

great bate, mate. Rape should be illegal still, but fantasizing about shouldn't. Lets call "a duck" a duck.

[–][deleted] -4 points-3 points-2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm not baiting. I think the crime is taken too seriously, it's just sex after all.

It's really quite hilarious (and interesting) how fellow human beings of the opposite sex can have such a poor grasp of logic and reason. This entire system is set up to screw men over. What the hell does partial consent even mean, and how is a man supposed to inherently detect the difference between that and non-consent?

It seems this thread is crying "hypocrisy" a little too eagerly. Unless you know for a fact the same people who make such absolutist claims about rape and "rape culture" have these fantasies, there's really not much use in saying, "BUT YOU GUYS SAID THIS! Get your story straight!!" Because we're talking about a gender here. Like it or not, there are a lot of different women out there. Oh, did I just NAWALT? I should point out, I'm a pretty regular reader here, and long story short, I just don't think this deserved the kind of arms-in-the-air response it's getting.

A lot of the responses pretty much agree completely with TRP explanation. Perhaps they didn't use alpha and beta, but fundamentally, they admit that in one instance the woman is attracted, and the other they are not. Maybe I'm missing the whole point of this post? It just seems like they're making a fairly understandable distinction, and then people here are saying "all domination is rape." Hate to point fingers, but one of those sounds a little more short-sighted than the other. Help me out if I'm missing something, but let's stay critical guys.

[–]Sufferix 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I think most are mocking the idea that "all domination is rape." The issue at hand is that there is some insane shit out there going around where women aren't accountable and believed to have no agency, thus having men declared as rapists. There are also the extremes who think that every PIV is rape even if consented.

TL;DR You're being too literal.

[–]2wiseclockcounter 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

No, I get that. But I'm saying those are two groups of people, the absolutists "everything is rape" people, and those who don't believe that and have normal domination fantasies. They are not the same person, so there's no point in being like "GOTCHA! quit rationalizing your dogma's away, you said this earlier!" No, they did not say that before because they are not the same people saying these things.

[–]Sufferix 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I'm being contrary with this: there aren't just two groups. In any case, I would expect the majority of women to have domination fantasies and a small minority to believe all sex is rape. However, I think there is a significant minority of women, who have or will use buyer's remorse and false claims to extort society for gains.

[–]DogInTheBath -2 points-1 points0 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I don't think you are missing anything. It is simply less complicated than it needs to be and I agree with what you said.

[–]Moxiecodone 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

They'd like for life to be predesigned in a way that the one who rapes them is someone they are actually attracted to. You can't force attraction, so you can't give them what they want because it is dangerous.

rav·ish: to force (a woman) to have sex with you by using violence or the threat of violence

"I love how you say "ravishment"... Because, contrary to popular belief it is not really "rape-fantasies"."

No, not at all, on a totally different and unrelated subject, can you help me split this hair in two?

[–]Endorsed ContributorBluepillProfessor 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I really love the BP assumptions- especially that women are 'binary' and 'no' means no now and forever because, like, women never can be convinced that having sex is actually a pretty damn good idea.

OK.

Internalized Misogyny!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

The fact that women fantasize about rape and sexual domination in general is one of the few slivers of truth politically correct feminsts and feminst supporting manginas have to face, it's only natural that such rationalization follows.

[–]borrowed_timelord 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah... That's bullshit, the whole "ravishment" euphemisim. I had an ex with a very particular rape fantasy and that's just what she called it... a "RAPE" fantasy.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

Mark Manson talks about this exact thing in Models. What he says (and it made sense to me) is that women enjoy feeling that someone desires them so much they might lose their self control. They (mostly) do not actually enjoy real rape.

Any thoughts on that?

[–]MockingDead 5 points6 points7 points 12 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

Only if that someone is attractive.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 12 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Maybe, but you mean attractive sexually, right, not just facially?

[–]MockingDead 1 point2 points3 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Well, having an attractive face doesn't hurt.

Oh I get it! They're saying that "ravishment" isn't a legitimate rape.

[–]JasinNat -1 points0 points1 point 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Women have no issues being raped. its only when it's an ugly guy they have issues. I never understood why feminists made such a huge deal about rape, it really pisses me off.

[–]HeadingRed -3 points-2 points-1 points 12 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Here's the Truth- they do want to be dominated in bed. They do not want to be raped. They have been brainwashed that dominated = rape. So they get conflicted about being dominated because they have been conditioned to believe it's rape, rape-y, close enough to be rape.

It's a case of the Hamster's Edition of Webster's dictionary not matching the standard edition of Websters. And due to that, drama ensues.
