Rape, whether we like it, or not, has been eroticized. And sub-dom has been eroticized through BDSM. Power and sex and eroticism are so inextricably bound up, that it makes zero sense to proclaim that rape is "only this," or "only that."

And I don't think that all males will want to rape a nude woman dancing in front of them. I do believe, however, that most of the narratives that affect pornography, and by virtue of that, our own view of our sexualities and the sex industry are pro-male, pro-domination, pro-objectification and pro-dehumanization. I think that women who provide their bodies for that narrative perpetuate the eroticization of rape, the eroticization of power/dominance, provide outlets to many males who should be focusing on their wives and children, create body image disturbances in females -- the list goes on, really.
