no it makes perfect sense; and i don't think you're splitting hairs at all, i think that's a very valid chunk of what a rape fantasy (or insert whatever word you want to use here) is about. i was only talking about words because i have a pretty active imagination and the connotation of a word will cause me to think of something else altogether. =p i think having the fantasy as a means of regaining some form of control after an actual rape makes sense. or even to explore/attempt to resolve the complicated feelings that come with it, but do it in a safe way. but you also have women who've never been raped or abused in any way who have them, too. people can do the same thing for a bunch of different reasons, so i don't think there would ever be some universal, overarching reason behind them. i'm glad people are talking and sharing their input though! -- i was wary of posting this thread (i've had it sitting in notepad for a couple of days), but it's going much better than i was expecting. =p as far as the "choreography" goes, i can't say that i've really thought out how my fantasies go (though it my just be that my brain has a big enough box of variables to play with in order to make them seem organic, when they aren't necessarily). like a lot of fantasies revolve around a specific step-by-step plan, and for many people they're not exactly the same but the scenarios are very similar. so if they were going to play it out with someone they trusted, they would have a general plan of how to put it together. M and i had talked about them, and even though they're my fantasies, i don't really have plans to them; when my brain gets on that kick, they just sorta go where they're going to go. sometimes the people are generic, sometimes they're people i've met. they do ultimately revolve around me and what i'm feeling since it's all happening at the behest of my brain. =p in my experience, men are sometimes interested in talking about them, but not so much in acting them out. so i agree with DecadentDesire -- i think there are more hangups there for men than there are for women. when i have talked to other chicks who've carried one out with a partner, there are usually these hurdles for him to get over, even if he's into BDSM. they don't understand why women have the fantasies at all, and there is this very defined line between being sexually aggressive and "rape," for them, as DD also mentioned.
