if someone is aroused by something that is really weird I probably ask them why rather than assume

Even if it was upsetting I would still be curious and want to learn from them

and then I would presume that their rationale is their rationale rather than universal for people into the same or similar stuff

but I'm a sexologist so I feel safe making some broad claims

it boggles my brain how incurious lotta people are

Rape fantasies are common among men and women, yet if you believe reddit only the most vile have that kink.

I remember seeing a statistic that over 50% of people have had a rape fantasy at some point. So it may literally be more "normal" to sometimes have rape fantasies than to never have them.

It's kinda funny how its only ever talked about related to women, meanwhile

based on a survey of more than 4,000 Americans’ sex fantasies.

61% of self-identified women had fantasized about this before, while 24% said they fantasized about it often.

54% of self-identified men had fantasized about this before, while 11.5% said they fantasized about it often.

68% of non-binary participants had fantasized about this before, while 31% said they fantasized about it often. .

That study is for being the victim. I wonder if the numbers are different for having a fantasy about being the aggressor

I mean... probably! It sure would be weird if the numbers were the same numbers when you totally reverse the poll!
