"They're not attracted to rape.
They're attracted to a fantasy pseudo-rape-that-isn't-actually-rape. The horror, helplessness, violence and general repulsion of the crime of rape is not something that turns these women on. As the article states, they are turned on by the "rape"r being attractive and overpowering and somehow the whole situation being erotic. So what is turning them on isn't really rape - although if they call it rape it seems even more dangerous and exciting - because it is just a fantasy."
"In a culture where couples getting to know each other talk about their sexual pasts, demystifying themselves with the hum-drum, eroticism is murdered by familiarity. Littler wonder the fantasy of the stranger rises from the totally bored unconscious whose erotic nature is being stifled by relationships mimicking soap opera.
The woman in fantasy is taken, not raped. But the cold scientists do not know how to differentiate ''taking'' from ''rape.'' They worship the family and are rational."

"So women want to be taken against their will, except only when and where they want to, and only by attractive strangers."
