As a woman, rape reality is what I fear. . .I enjoy the "she was brought to intense pleasure against her will" story because it turns it into something pleasurable and kills the fear. . .

A lot of women have rape fantasies and most of them are not fantasizing about pain or fear or (squick!) death, but about a mind-blowing sexual experience, of being "taken" against their will and still getting off. . .of having the nightmare turn into the dream. What's wrong with that? Why can't we have our stories, too?

It isn't realistic, but isn't that the point of fantasy?

I guess I agree with Carrie about the labelling. I like a lot of NC stories, but not the ones that are about brutality and no pleasure--they just give me nightmares. . .
