Nicely put folks! Onix, I would say you're pretty correct about the impregnation- it seems to be a dual power-play fantasy judging from the power that an impregnator (presumably a man unless there's some gender/sex flip thing going on) SEEMINGLY has a lot of power in that they are creating life as well as altering the life of the woman they've impregnated.

However- I swear I won't wax philosophical for a long ass time about this- one could argue that the real position of power (as you mentioned) is for the impregnated (or possibly impregnated, if it's a 'pregnancy scare' unknown circumstance) woman, because she does essentially keep a part of the man- if only his semen. But, of course, if she becomes pregnant she know has power over the pregnancy, the resultant child, and the man at LEAST to the degree that she may control him now, and/or require him to take responsibility and get things done. I'm sure a sociologist would have plenty to say on it, but I think this is a- fairly common- sexual arousal mechanism for males because of this twist on traditional power.

I'd actually make the same argument about 'rape fantasy' which, correct, is a delicate situation AT BEST when two partners (or more, I suppose) attempt to execute it. For the record, NO PERSON OR PEOPLE should be ANYwhere- at home, or in public or something- and enact a non-consensual fantasy without at least SOME knowledge on the part of both parties. Or, to put it simply, assuming you know what's going to happen on your end, you cannot accost your sex partner with NO prior discussion and perform sex acts with them. It bears repeating, as Onix said, that this is LITERALLY the definition of a sex crime, and there's nothing sexy about it in the least.

Again, I'll try not to be a teachy teacherson, but I actually think the power play issue is another major factor in the sexual excitement surrounding a 'rape fantasy,' because if things are done PROPERLY then both partners generally agree on the do's and don'ts beforehand, i.e. a safe word, some sex acts they would be comfortable with, etc. Interestingly, like many females who harbor a strong 'rape fantasy,' I was the victim of a sex crime, and for me- for many of us- it's a way to 'take back control' of that otherwise heinous and terrible situation.

TL;DR version: real rape isn't sexy; it's about power, control, and hurting the victim. RAPE FANTASY is a common interest (1 in 3 women and about 60% of men report this sex fantasy) that allows us to role play a scenario that would otherwise be dangerous and upsetting, but in this context, we are doing it with someone who HAS respect for consent, who likes us (maybe loves us) and who has guidelines to ensure that the 'victim' doesn't become uncomfortable in a way they don't like.

And yes, just as a person, thanks for the great suggestions! As always, fake-rape safely. (For the record, whenever I do, I set up rules and a time/place WAY in advance- enough to make sure my sex partner knows what I'd like, and they get to give their own input, but long enough from the 'event' itself that it still feels like a surprise to me. So if you read this and you're interested, that's my best recommendations thus far.)
