People playing paintball probably wouldn't want to actually get shot by real a gun and real bullets, and people watching slasher movies don't want to actually kill a bunch of good-looking white people. Having a fantasy and reality are, of course, very different things.
Actual prevalence of rape fantasies is probably higher because women may not feel comfortable admitting them. They show that about four in 10 women admit having them (31 to 57 percent) with a median frequency of about once a month. Psychology Today reports that history has shown similar statistics:įrom 1973 through 2008, nine surveys of women's rape fantasies have been published. According to a 2009 study from North Texas University, 62 percent of women said they had a fantasy when they were having sex against their will. But there are also plenty of films which now straddle the line and touch upon rape/dominance fantasies. Yes, in the darkest corners of the Internet, there are disgusting videos of actual rape out there. But his rape ordinance isn't going over as smoothly.
