Is it normal to get turned on by seeing rape in a movie?

I'm a girl, and when a watch a movie or read a book that has a rape scene, i get turned on. Its not because I like violence or that I would want to raped or anything sick like that. Idk, maybe I want a dominate partner?

    Alot of films portry rape in quite an erotic way. If you get turned on by a film like "Irreversible" for example which is more realistic then i might be worried.

    Also keep in mind that rape is a common female fantasy. Its o.k to have your fantasies.

    rape fantasy is very common.

    Just make sure the guy you do it with actually cares about your well-being. There are a lot of women bashers out there that claim to be Dominant, but really they are just pricks.

    I have the same fantasy and it really turns me on. I haven't told anyone though- although I'de love to play it out sometime with my guy!

    For those people who criticize this - it's not sick or abnormal as you don't actually want to be raped - it's a very different thing. It's wanting to be submissive and dominated by your man, which is very normal from an evolutionary perspective. It also doesn't mean you want to be dominated ourtside of the bedroom, either.

    It is probably because you want a guy that is dominating. Also rape fantasy is common. That is because it is something that is taboo and also in a sense a lot of people see it as a way to make their idea of sex more of a turn on. (Excuse the poorly worded sentence, I can't think of a better way to word it right now.) But, it is only a turn on in the fantasy for both, and real life its just....it takes an awful person to do that to somebody.

    it is just the sex you like, not the rape. if you watched a real video of some being raped, in harsh lighting without makeup and hollywood, you wouldn't like it. don't worry about this one at all.

    In Cosmo magazine back in the 70's, they published women's fantasies, and that was a common one. One lady said a guy pulled her into an alley (in her fantasy), whipped it out and it was as big as a baseball bat. Anyone else read those articles back then? They became my fantasy sex life in my teens.

    I have the same turn on! :) but my boyfriend gets a little edgy with the term rape fantasy. So I think of I as more as a domination fantasy. You don't want the harsh behavior and actually painful force. Just kinda your boyfriends the boss and he's in charge feeling. So many girls have this fantasy, it's like the top 3 :) so no worries it's normal!

    I feel the same way. I am female and rape fantasies are probably my biggest turn-on, but I would never want to have it happen to me in real life.

    From the research and information I have read, it is very common for women to feel this way. However, I think that there is a lot of shame involved for women who get turned on by "fictional" rape situations or who have rape fantasies. I haven't told anybody I know about my inclination towards this type of fantasy (friends, boyfriend, etc.) for fear of their reactions.

    This is definitely a "taboo" subject for our society. That said, I wish we could talk about it more and reasonings for it could be examined from cultural or physiological perspectives.

      I feel the same! and i didn't want to get turned on by that because rape is an awful sick violation but can understand why thats a common sex fantasy i have it too
      i like being dominated and kontrolled, i discovered that with my ex (who still is my first and only) and i loved it when he got rough and hard with me he was a bit like that before he met me but i kinda perfected him XD i didn't mind the brusies either. i loved and trusted him ( still do) cus he's a great guy a good man who loved me and thats the only reason why i got turned on by and letting him be like that to me.
      but there are some movies what truly shows how awful sick rape really is and one of them is a swedish movie i watched i couple of years ago and i felt like throwing up after i watched the rape scen how a person could do that to another human being is just ... fucking sick.

    It's not normal, I don't think.

    Try getting into BDSM or something. If you don't have an outlet for those urges, you might end up with an actual abusive man.

    I would like a girl like you. Clearly not to rape but someone who wants to be dominated slightly. My ex-girlfriend love me to be in control and if you get turned on by a rape scene then then its only a scene. Nothing different than you'd do at home =)

  • I am disturbed how people find this normal. It is one of the most traumatizing things that can happen to someone.

      I don't really consider it a healthy thing. Everyone keeps using the word 'normal' as that is the point of the site. But for me, the real question is whether it is healthy or not. I think the problem that it causes is the conditioning and reprogramming of our bodies toward these fantasies. It has to do with the chemicals in our brains that get released during sex. If we are conditioned to respond only to these kinds of fantasies, are we setting ourselves up for relational / sexual dysfunction with our future spouses? I believe this answer to definitely be YES. I have this problem due to many years of violent sex/ forced sex / abuse from my ex. I hated it and myself during. However, now - I am heavily turned on by it because of the reprogramming it did to my body. I'm trying to figure out how to retrain myself to a healthy view of sex instead of what I currently crave, which is extreme force, degrading, violent torture and even death fantasies all while being raped. Not what I consider 'normal'.

    I'm a bi guy, and in my sexual fantasies I daydream about what it would be like to be in prison, in a cell with a more dominant cellmate, who would force himself on me, using me oraly and analy, and maybe even sharing me with his friends and/or letting them watch me as I'm forced to please him. I suppose it may not be so great in reality, but it's really hot as a fantasy, so I can definitly identify with anyone else who has a rape fantasy.

    This problem can very easily be solved go to the nearest penitentiary find a guy who will be out soon from his rape charge and maybe just maybe he will perform this fucked up fantasy for you

    Absolutely. As a female myself,the thought of being roughly&forcefully taken(by a man of my choosing,of course),is what I like. I like rough foreplay&sex. More than just the 'normal' roughness. I'd say I like to be raped,but quite willingly. LOL I however,DO like the violent aspects of it. I even prefer it,if there is a knife(a real one,not a plastic one) held to my flesh,my clothing ripped/cut from me,being firmly grabbed around the throat&slammed onto a bed,or wall,or even a counter top&pinned down,manhandled,(I don't mind being slapped&such)&force-fucked. And I refuse to have sex with guys,if they want me in any way,to be in control. I enjoy being dominated,forced&taken. The regular,soft sweet,gentle stuff,is'nt my thing,at all. I know some may not consider what I like 'acceptable',but I really don't care what they think,as it's my desire/fantasy,not theirs&they have no say in it,unless they are participating.(; It's what turns me on,gets me wet&makes me smile. And yes,certain rapes scenes in movies turn me on,quite a bit. Particularily,the stalkery rapist kinds.

    May be common, but it's not normal. Rape is in my opinion the most awful of crimes, and if you enjoy seeing it, be it in fiction or not, you are perverted. Even if it's just a subconscious thing, you should feel compassion for the girl or hatred for the guy or something similar, because that's what you know is right (unless you're in favor of rape in real life). If you get aroused, you're letting your primitive instincts take over your thinking. I also don't think it's normal to want to sexually dominate or be dominated, because that means you're selfish and downright evil or that you have self-esteem issues.

    It is a common female fantasy and actually perfectly normal. There is a huge difference between the unwilling and violent act of rape and acting out a fantasy that both of you know and abide by the rules of.
