Getting raped can change one's entire world, including how a woman relates to men and feels about herself. Such profound changes naturally affect relationships.
Rape doesn't seem to change or effect everyone in the same way, which was somebody else's point... Although I'm sure a vast majority of people do have rape fantasies of some kind, I spent some time looking back at the women I have been with and their natures (or what I knew about their natures), and I concede that not everyone does harbor rape fantasies.

I wouldn't want to be raped. I imagine it and other things I wouldn't want to live through, such as being permanently locked in a chastity belt, branded or whipped bloody. I, too, would stop writing if I thought brutes and rapists would get the idea and inspiration from reading my stories. Imagination is not a hidden craving for action. It's the psyche's way of trying out new situations in safety.
I wouldn't want to be raped either.

My fantasies and what I'm willing to write about are two different things. I think I use science fiction elements as a way of keeping the sex from being real or duplicatible...
