HARM is the real deterrent, not punishment
Porn and fantasy is opposite of reality for me and ethical decisions are situation based.
Real human being with feelings is sacred, so:
I would enjoy rape (and even to be raped) all day long
IF THERE WAS NO (psychological, emotional) HARM DONE! Tldr:
I agree totally with the quoted member.
As a consumer I am drawn in by power dominance of man.
Depicted violence on helpless women makes me excited.
Best type of content for me is forcing her to enjoy it again her will, use her and deceive her, especially if pain of anal is transformed through acceptance into extasy.
But in general I am able to get excited only by fiction and it is very important for me that's not reality and if I see real person behind the story, it's big turn off for me - I am loosing any excitement (erection and all) and getting physically sick by any thoughts of trauma, which I could created.
Even as adolescent, when very soft literature (what could you find in public library) was my source, if I knew the victim or had any emotional link to her, I disliked any discomfort forced on her.
At one instance I found by chance explicit x-rated photos of some women I knew personally and it made me appalled and mortified. Disgusted by humiliation of her.
I masturbate only to virtual content without any emotional background and if I start to think about the real girl in rape video, I am sickened by it and by myself and feel sorry for her and hate and contempt for him.
I love role play and enjoy to play being rough and take without consent - but there must not be any lasting trauma or regret on her part later on.
In real life if things get out of hand (I loose control and go with desire in blind faith she will like it in the end), I feel terrible afterwards.
Love and sex is communication, relationship where more you give, more you get.
Masturbation (porn or BDSM) is about power and imagination.Great topic as people say. I think Rose is right that horny men presented with a clear opportunity to rape a woman would take advantage - as many do already.
But I don't think the scenario the article presents is realistic because compassion and guilt would not suddenly vanish for most men.
