So 1st we'll start with a sample poll of consensual non-consent

As we can see here, this is a heavily favored fetish for women, at almost 2x the frequency of men. More than the majority of women share this kink.

According to this beautiful infrographic, it seems as though most female-favored kinks seem to be BDSM related: either dom male, sub female, or this taken to extreme levels - rapeplay. Sprinkled in of course with choking & bondage (what I would classify as rape-adjacent)

I'm not going to delve into the depravity of male kinks, because that topic is for another time

In an attempt to not get too evo-psychy, I want to discuss how these relate to modern dating and the female brain. I have a few running theories, but I want to hear other opinions.

  1. Probably the most classic female response to this would be women like the idea of being desired. Rather, desired so much that men lose their sense of decency and break the law or become heinous. This of course implies there is some barrier between women actually finding rapists attractive and women wanting an otherwise decent man to be a little bit rapey.

  2. Dominant, masculine men are in shorter supply in 2022. I don't have any data on this, but I find it hard to imagine that 70 years ago, this many women had rape fetishes. You could argue that more mainstream usage of porn could skew this, but I think my theory is more accurate. Modern men have lower T, and been forced into more beta roles than in the past.

  3. Dark triad really is just a key ingredient to women's sexuality. High psychopathy, narcissism and machiavellianism determines exactly what gives most women pussy-tingles. These same traits would lend a man to be more comfortable with rapeplay (or the real thing), and women's lizard brain can't help but crave it.

Anyways, thoughts?
