It is part of humanity to long for sexual experiences, and like food, we do what we can with the scraps we can get if we’re starved of it.

 

Unless I’m missing something, I can’t imagine a woman so starved for sex that the experience of rape would be welcomed by her on any level. My understanding is that it’s an experience completely unwanted.

 

I can understand the idea of the man removing the burden of consenting from the woman and how that could be arousing, as it somehow gives her permission to participate, but it’s still something she *wanted* to do.

 

I think “Rape” fantasy is a term tossed around too easily. Fantasizing about a man I’m attracted to being forceful and dominant is not the same as “fantasizing” about some creeper making me do something I don’t want to do whatsoever.

Because of the dual contexts of increased guilt about sexual openness and the prevalent way in which sex is portrayed to women by their peers and the media in a primarily fear-laden and violent way, women in the Middle East most probably experience their sexuality in conflicted fantasies of assault and rape.
