Hi everyone
It has been something that I have been thinking about after reading an article in a men's magazine. It said that a large majority of women fantasise about non-consensual sex. Is this true and what do you fantasise about?
Trust me I am no weirdo and just want to put an argument to rest that is all.
I look forward to hearing from you all
regards
Paul
I belive the " " fantasy is common amongst women, but I think it's actually a fantasy about being totally "dominated" by a sexual partner and not actually wanting to be (just to make that 100% clear, THIS CANNOT BE USED AS AN EXCUSE TO WOMEN).
You never know who's reading this site.
I seem to remember hearing that something like 40% of people fantasize about , too.
Yeah... odd world we live in! :shock:
I do think, though, that there's a confusion between 'non-consentual' sex (or as Easy correctly puts it) and being forced or coerced by a regular partner. Having a good old fashioned bodice ripper as a lover is a wonderful thing! Physical damage resulting from is just plain sick.

I'll take Heather's point 1 step further, and point out there is a huge difference betweek and being forced or coerced by a stranger in a siutation WHICH YOU CONSENTED TO.
Talk to people from the BDSM scene, and they'll tell you it is the conscent that counts, NOT the specific acts you consent to.
Forced sex fantasies are surprisingly common, but I think you'll find they are almost all fantasies about *consensual* forced sex, not .
is a sick and evil thing that can never be condoned under any circumstances, consensual forced sex, on the other hand can be a LOT of fun for both parties!
Guys
Thank you all so much for taking the time to put your views together, it is really appreciated.
Sorry Roger, did not mention anything about your topic!
Yes there is a clear difference between and non-concentural sex. is a nasty, evil thing that should never happen to anyone.
thanks again
Paul
I guess this kind of thread must come up now and again. These comments are not intended to encourage anyone in any way and particularly not meant to encourage people who have a less than fully committed partner (come on, we've all met them at parties - couples where one is there to 'please' their other half more than for themselves)
No kind of magazine article or survey therein can be taken with anything other than a pinch of salt or two, surely. But it is clear that a 'play- ' situation can potentially be a seriously outre thing to do to while away the long autumn evenings (hint to partner who has expressed interest) . If both parties are fully seized of the implications and if the good old bdsm safeword/signal routine is followed then what harm can it bring (assuming always that neither partner has a history of real-life abuse) ... ?
How realistic it gets to be is up to the couple involved, but whatever happens, informed consent has to be the way.
Remember also that the Law is not going to be friendly to you if a scene of this kind occurs with someone you are not close to and that person has a change of heart/mind during the event.
And still 'on-topic' : there are plenty of guys around who might enjoy the tables being turned in some way - but I'm not sure I fancy being chased through the local woodlands by my gf with a scary strap-on shining in the moonlight - but, there again ...........
have fun, play safe and don't scare the horses (or anything else that lives in the woods)

As a newbie in a BDSM club once said: I'd like to be .. but not by a !
"No" means No. "I'd like you to do (whatever), ignoring me if I say No while you are doing it" means Yes.
It's for exactly this sort of confusion that 'safe words' were invented - some random word like 'cauliflower' that both parties understand means 'stop, I'm not enjoying this', for use in fantasies involving consent to forced sex/restraint/pain etc. Generally in a scene there will be a hierarchy of words that mean things from 'ok, I liked that the first few times, but could you do something else for a bit', through to 'ok, this whole thing stops NOW'.
Of course, if you get really into this sort of thing, you'll eventually end up wanting the 'ignore the safe word' fantasy, which is where things get a little more complicated!
I have a problem with this , there is rich seam of male domination in womens literature where the dashing hero takes charge and "does it ..." to the submissive little girlie , who actually wants it really bad anyway but is too "rephained" to admit this to anyone , including herself . So she gets the sex , the readers get the vicarious thrill and it's all the mans fault and he gets the blame , so a result all round . Well actually no , because somewhere this shades into and more insiduusly by making that end of a spectrum that does shade into more "respectable " has the effect of legitimising in some peoples minds .
My opinion , this type of writing should be socially unacceptable , of course may be an integral part of work of fiction , but it shouyld be treated responsibly , it is the 2nd most seriuos crime after murder .
:shock:
i dont have fantasies about being
there s a big differance between being for real and haveing a slighty dominated fantasy
i swing both dom and sub
i do like a man to be a man in and out of bed i think its a power thing it makes me feel safe
but then just to confuse the situation i turn the tables and like to over power him.......... :twisted:
You know, I actually went through a phase about seven or eight years ago where I used to write porn stories - not because it was a sexual fantasy of mine, but I just got intellectually fascinated by trying write damaged protagonists.
I used to post it to a newsgroup, and even years after I'd get odd emails from people who'd read it and liked it and got off on it. Suffice it to say, that really freaked me out! (There was even one guy who wanted to me write a story to match a specific sexual fantasy he'd been having, starring some girl he'd seen in some film, getting . I kept telling him I didn't want to do it and he kept nagging me to write it...)
Slight thread hijack and Host here putting in his oar again
Personal safewords (e.g. Mr-D's example of cauliflower, an old friend's use of egg-and-bacon) are fine BUT there is a universal, 'RED', that is recognised as the house safe word at serious players' bdsm clubs in the UK and even Belgium and Holland. (so now you know why the Host lives so close to the channel ferries!!!) RED is simple, easy to understand even through sobs and is the third component of the Traffic Light scheme, also wellknown in public play in the clubs referred to. The advantages the system has for SM can print across to any non-consent scenario.
For those who want to use it:
'Green' - rarely used, means 'happy to comply with the scene' and 'prepared to take this further' depending on context..........'Yellow' - I am enjoying the scene, but that particular activity is beyond my limits, desist and do something else....
'Red' - Stop the scene totally, not just the activity.
But safewords are only one half of the correct prep for a BDSM scene. Setting of Limtis via discussion (described as negotiation by some) are the other half. Clearly that should apply to a playrape scenario.
Hijack over.
But one more time I will decry the real abuse by force or coercion of anyone female or male as a heinous crime.

I ended up banning a guy from a forum elsewhere because he linked to a personal site which he wrote fantasy stories about statutory , snuff scenes, adult , and . As he was a new member I triedvery carefully to be open-minded about fantasy only scenarios, and thought perhaps we should just ask him to remove the link........until we took on board that not only was he not socialising on the main board, but was actually PMing some of the more vunerable members of the site, in a friendly manner, but it just seemed too dodgy.......
It was whilst I was researching sexual deviancy to address this, I found this place! :mrgreen:

I've never ever been interested in tis kind of fantasy. To be totally happy, I need to be the onein control. Maybe I'm just bossy. I think it's a myth that so many wmen fantasise this and reckon it's more likely a male fantasy. But I may be wrong...
Do women fantasise about non-consentual sex? Well I'm a woman and I do, so the answer can only be yes; I can see from the replies to this thread that I'm not alone. However, what has to be remembered is that a fantasy is just that, imaginary, and nothing more. There are some fantasies that people will never truly be able to act out, and I believe to be one of these. Whether verbal consent is given during play or not, to act it out it would have to be discussed at some point, and it could never truly be classed as , especially with it being the woman's idea in the first place.
In answer to the question 'What do you fantasise about?' it is more than the old school stereotype - 'stranger in a dirty mac pulling you into a back alley'. My fantasies generally consist of me teasing or flirting with my partner or a male friend and withholding sex to a point where they force themselves on me. I know that's what I'm trying to get them to do, but I am deliberately giving them the impression that they're forcing me. I would describe that as 'non consentual' though, rather than full on . There are others but that is the main one.
In reality, the only way to act out those kind of fantasies, as I mentioned before would involve discussing it with my partner, but for me that removes part of the fun. Although, as a natural submissive I do prefer to include elements of force and punishment anyway, and I imagine that these fantasies are just an extension of this.
I'd just like to add: In no way am I condoning , I have a close friend who was a victim and I've seen first hand the devastating effect it can have. I think, as with all slightly unusual fantasies, as much communication as possible is the key if you're going to experiment with it.
I think the subject is fascinating. If a man took me out to dinner and had the cheek to order the wine without consulting my opinion he would probably be wearing it. If he tried to cop a feel in the taxi he would get a cold shoulder. But back at his place or mine if I was not pinned to the sofa having my clothes ripped off before the coffee had time to go cold I would count the date a total washout.
But I am aware of a contradiction: if I do not want the guy I want him to stop trying to get into my knickers, if I do want him I want him to tear them off without asking. I am not at all surprised some men get the wrong signals. But if I say no I mean it, but if I say "I am not sure" I am telling him I want him to be sure!
If you watch old movies .....the male is always the dominant character.....he is always the one who roughly grabs the leading lady....she of course is fighting him off but he does not give in until she surcomes to his way.....so in a way he is forcing himself on her without her consent.....how would you class this?
Don't all men? I know mine does. We were both a bit hung up on discussing things until the first time we actually accidently swapped partners (how do you accidently swap? Well I mean unplanned, and sort of we were not consulted, but that is another tale)
After that we found we could discus things very openly and he admitted to a long standing fantasy to being by a woman with a strapon. At first I was very shocked, thinking it meant he was gay or something, but since have found out it is a very common male fantasy, though when actually presented with the actual thing in the bedroom most promptly bolt.
But even if they are not into that extreme what man does not like the woman on top occasionally, holding down his arms and riding him hard. I also find men like what I call "Reverse Missionary" where I lie on top of him between his legs and have him wrap them around me. You do not have to dress up in leather and carry a whip to play domination games.
