There is something i dont understand re the so called "rape porn".

There have been quiet a few threads here lately condemning "rape porn".What do you mean by "rape porn"? Are you referring to BDSM porn? ( majority of bdsm porn has one or more people restrained in most films ( from what I've seen).

Last time I checked bdsm and bdsm porn was legal, and I know many people who are in the lifestyle.

So what am I missing?

If I don't get off on a snuff film, does that make me a killer? Only peace loving people like to see other human beings die?

I don't think you actually thought much about the comment because it is nonsensical.

Wed Aug 13, 2014, 07:09 AM

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_formation

In psychoanalytic theory, reaction formation is a defensive process (defense mechanism) in which emotions and impulses which are anxiety-producing or perceived to be unacceptable are mastered by exaggeration (hypertrophy) of the directly opposing tendency.

In old movies, of course, only a kiss is forced on a woman, usually after the male and female have been antagonistic toward each other. And, within seconds, she is practically melting under the forced kiss.

I have never had a rape fantasy, either. So, according to some yahoos, you and I are outliers. Or maybe just liars.

I think females having rape fantasies may be a male fantasy.

Margaret Atwood's short story "Rape Fantasies." I was 17, and the thought of something like that being a "fantasy" was just abhorrent to me. Of course, now that I'm 41, I understand that some women do indeed have that sexual fantasy, in a sense of being "taken", moreseo than the whole sexual violence thing (as I understand it). Not having explored that particular sexual fantasy avenue myself, however, I cannot speak for the people who partake, so it may indeed go beyond the whole "take me" scenario and involve violence. I dunno. At any rate, yes, it exists and it is a real thing. Put it this way: every romance novel out there where the "rogue" hero "conquers" the quivering virginal female heroine while she protests all the way but secretly enjoys it is, in essence, a rape fantasy.

79. There are a couple of intriguing theories as to why some women have rape fantasies.
Tue Aug 12, 2014, 07:53 AM
Aug 2014

1) People eroticize what they fear, thus the prominence among men of cuckold fantasies. Women fear rape, so they eroticize it as a way to cope.

2) Patriarchy tries to control female sexuality by saying what is good/bad or by defining where/when. Women therefore have a difficult time engaging in certain sexual practices without guilt. By being "taken" or "forced" the heroine loses any responsibility and she can basque in her orgasms guilt free.

Those are very condensed versions of two theories and there are others. I write erotica/porn and have been trying to actually get a grip on the whole cuckold fantasy and why so many men evidently have that one. The first theory above was offered as an explanation. Men fear a more "alpha" male will or could more capably satisfy the woman so they have this fantasy where it happens.

Human sexuality is fascinating and I find it almost amusing that people get so uncomfortable with discussions of WHY. Makes me wonder what they fear.

Also some get really angry and lash out. I don't know why to that either. Do you have any theories on it?

I guess it's a subject that can rile people up. I think it's a fun subject though, so I try not to get too riled up. If I do, I try not to post anger because I don't want to hurt someone's feelings.

I find human sexuality fascinating. And lots of people are certainly interested in it as a subject too. The human sexuality course at my university was consistently one of the most popular & informative.

It's all a part of life's rich pageant.

I don't get it, but if it's safe, sane, and consensual, well then whatever. Not my business.

If it is used to spam feminist websites (which is the latest context), it takes on the characteristic of a threat.

Threats are not cool.

Rape threats are especially not cool.

In that context, it's another lame-ass, desperate attempt to silence women's voices.

sort of two different things at play here.

First is porn that suggests rape fantasies.

Second is what was happening at those spamming sites.

Another might be porn that actually depicts or suggests rape, i.e., something much more heavy.

So if you're looking for working definitions (something I appreciate as well), I hope that helps a bit. I guess you'd want to ask someone with whom you're conversing though, that to which they are referring. In this subject (like many subjects!) it can all get blurry at times. I think sometimes that if different people are thinking of different definitions, then it can really lead to frustration and misunderstandings and hurt feelings on message boards.

Hope that helps a bit.

BDSM pornography presents scenarios of bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism.

There can of course be overlap in the depictions, just as there is between any media genres.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Unwarranted personal attack

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Aug 11, 2014, 07:00 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Personally, I find both bdsm and rape porn to be disgusting. Simply put, if you get off by fantasizing about forcing yourself on someone, or by inflicting pain on them, then you have serious issues and should seek some form of psychiatric counseling.

As for this post, the 'finding some shit to stir' is why I'm hiding it. It's a pointless over the top attack.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Concise summation.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There was nothing unwarranted about what Scootaloo said, this thread is pure shit stirring and Scootaloo was correct to call it out. Darkangel is the one who deserves a hidden post not Scootaloo.

And just because two adults are legally allowed to be Master/Slave doesn't mean that behavior comes from a well adjusted psyche.

What could be more "Orwelliian" that labeling abuse as pleasurable.

And the discussion of rape porn has occurred over a period of time. Haven't you read any of those threads that you have to start an OP asking 'What do you mean by "rape porn"'?

That's what wiki says..



Rape pornography is a genre of pornographic scene involving the depiction of rape. This genre is not unique to adult film and videos as simulated scenes of rape, sometimes just as disturbing yet without the graphic imagery, and other forms of sexual violence have appeared in mainstream cinema almost since its advent.[1] For example, in the 1988 film The Accused actress Jodie Foster received a Best Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of rape victim Sarah Tobias.[2]

There is some debate whether this form of pornography encourages people to commit rape. The pairing of sex with violence distinguishes the issue of rape pornography from that of pornography in general. Studies of the issue produce conflicting results.[3]

So wiki is wrong when they start saying "rape porn is not unique to adult film and videos as simulated scenes of rape, sometimes just as disturbing yet without the graphic imagery, and other forms of sexual violence have appeared in mainstream cinema .."

Non pornographic depiction of rape is not porn.

Unlike BDSM, it depicts non-consensual sex. Sometime it is actually non-consensual.

Do you know the difference between BDSM and rape in real life? I really don't see what is so hard to understand.

In BDSM literature too.

It's the same thing.

Now , about the real non consentual films.. those are acts of crimes. Nothing to do with consentual play.

what you will find is vile. There are many out there to view, but a good chunk of it is men drugging the woman and raping her, to post on sites. Sometimes there are even babies with blood smeared on their private parts.

Rapist threaten their victims with, if you tell I will post the video on the internet. Some have and it gets widely shared.

So to answer your question, this is not about role playing. It is a way to dehumanize victims of real rape for someone to be able to masterbate to with a clear conscience.


But go ahead and have some shits and laughs, that does seem to be the purpose of this thread.

just no. You do not get to redefine the question you originally posed. You asked what rape porn is, the fact that you do not like the answer is irrelevant. I realized seeing a 7 month old baby with a bloodied and swollen vagina is not pleasant, but they do get posted on rape porn websites. Tough shit if that visual ruins your pathetic attempt to gather some laughs and guffaws on the subject.

"Rape porn " vs BDSM porn . Youre describing actual rape scenes , which is criminal and not consentual.

My OP was not to "gather laughs". Au contraire, it was to find out why the outrage over consentual acts between two adults. You depict in your previous post aweful scenes which have nothing to do with porn. Call it what they are, RAPE scenes. Nothing to do with fun play.

53. lolol ok.

Seems you are doing a whole lot of LOLing in this thread that you are claiming is not to gather laughs.

You also did not state that you were referring to consensual acts between 2 people. Since rape, at its core, is defined as NON- consensual. You did not distinguish between the 2.

I am describing actual rape scenes that get posted on actual RAPE PORN websites. You seem to not accept that it is still rape porn.

Under your reasoning, kid porn is not porn but merely an illegal act. It can't be both.

"am describing actual rape scenes that get posted on actual RAPE PORN websites. You seem to not accept that it is still rape porn. "
It's not rape porn, it's rape. There are some very sick individuals who probably find real rape as a turn on. I don't argue that. But that's illegal and it's not PORN as in the art of porn.
You keep trying to tie consentual play with criminal activity. It's not one and the same. Exceptions don't speak for the norm.

not. No matter how many times you say it, you only asked what rape porn is. Then proceeded with laughing, jokes and backslapping over your approved definition.

Are you saying you knew what rape porn was when you asked the question? Your definition of what porn is, is very narrow. The more common definition is pictures, film or other images used to generate sexual arousal. There are no qualifiers that there has been consent to or that the images are of legal acts.

Not all porn is of legally consenting adults as you seem to say.

There have been quiet a few threads here lately condemning "rape porn".What do you mean by "rape porn"? Are you referring to BDSM porn? ( majority of bdsm porn has one or more people restrained in most films ( from what I've seen).

Last time I checked bdsm and bdsm porn was legal, and I know many people who are in the lifestyle.

So what am I missing?


Do you not see where I asked if they referred to BDSM?

And to answer
Not all porn is of legally consenting adults as you seem to say
- I explained it in the other post. Some sickos have weird/criminal fetishes. And BDSM is not that. Not even remotely.

not see what is not there. You did not qualify rape porn with consenting adults. You used only the term rape porn. Now, I am truly sorry if what I described as rape porn is not to your liking. Even your definition of porn is narrow and does not encompass the commonly held definition. You are right you asked if rape porn was referring to BDSM. When I see a question mark at the end of a sentence I take it to mean you were actually asking a question. Not making a statement that the two are equal.

I actually thought you would understand the difference between real rape being shared on porn sites as not equal to consensual BDSM. I never even mentioned BDSM. I thought it would be obvious that what I defined, even though it was not in your parameters of what you consider rape porn is still rape porn. But I now realize you have a very convenient comprehension problem. You only want to know what consenting commercial rape porn is. Not the real rape, rape porn. Close your eyes to the ugly side of rape porn if you must. It will not make it go away. The victim's rape will still be posted on rape porn sites among the consenting adults rape porn. When you view it, just remember that not all that you are watching is scripted and agreed to. There are real victims who's rapes are being widely viewed for sexual gratification.

You asked a question. When the answer was not something you agreed with you changed definitions. I think you already had the answer in your mind when you asked. Did you? LOLOLOL You sure jumped to the backslapping and laughing real quick. One would think that instead of trying to redefine the question and redefine porn; a person instead would be appalled that a person being raped is viewed for sexual gratification.

And no personal attacks are going to change the fact that BDSM is completely awesome. It's a lifestyle that many take it very seriously. And just because some cant understand it/are not into it, it doesn't mean it's something wrong with it.

I despise criminal acts just like everyone else. But play/pretend is not a criminal act.

assault - and there's, perhaps, some sort of disclaimer to that effect - then I see no reason to outlaw such depictions, even if they personally squick me out.

On the other hand, there's a good amount of real rape/torture footage out there which depicts an actual crime.

Tue Aug 12, 2014, 09:53 AM
Aug 2014

Rape porn depicts rapes. Its target is not women with "fantasies" of rape at all, since such a thing would be very rare, if it exists at all. It targets men who fantasize about raping women who might try to resist and are overcome with force, drugs or other means. It's designed for men to drool over. It's obscene in the extreme, because it is made to feed the desires of men who have fantasies of sex with non-consenting women. It occurs also as "gang bang" porn, which depicts gang rapes of women.

While the people in the rape or gang rape porn may have been consenting adults for the production, that does not mean that it does not depict rape. And its audience likes it because it depicts rape.

It exists. You can go find some if you want to view it. Just search for it. There's plenty of it out there.

1. How do you know who specifically a movie targets? And how are you sure women don't enjoy that scripted play?? Gang bang porn is actually a very popular genre in BDSM.

2. Okay, so we agree!! I never argued that rape play didn't depict rape. It did, but it's scripted, it's play and the participants are consenting adults.

What is BDSM - bondage, DOMiNANCE, sado masochism, slave/master Play. It's not for everyone. But MANY enjoy it, and no one has the right to tell them not to. Its their right as consenting adults to role play however they want, as long as it's safe sane and consentual.

Vilifying a well known and respected lifestyle and trying to tie it to criminal acts is pretty low on their part IMHO.

First you ask in feigned innocence what is rape porn. But you've already secretly and to your satisfaction defined the term. Anyone who tries to reply or explain can be blown off and ridiculed and LOL'd at because they're not using the definitions you've previously decided upon. Then you ask is it BDSM or BDSM porn. Well, the only people I've seen on here conflating BDSM with rape porn are the people defending and supporting rape porn. Those who find rape porn offensive have not pretended they're the same because we know they aren't and it would be dishonest to pretend otherwise. Still, you guys keep acting as if we have when you're the ones who can't seem to tell the difference, or at least that's what you expect us to believe. Obvious agenda is obvious.

So, what are you missing? Maybe some straw, but it might be over next to the shit that flew out of your pot.

Maybe there are rape scenarios in BDSM. And maybe that's your preferred form of it, I don't know, just guessing because you're latching onto that and defending it so vociferously, as if that's all there is to that kink. We actually really aren't referring to that, and if you'd take the time to read you just might see that. We're talking about rape, sometimes simulated, sometimes (more often) real, not within the bounds (no pun intended) of BDSM, that is posted on porn sites for people to get off to. Rape, not BDSM play. And that's where you're being dishonest at the worst, failing to comprehend what you've read at the least. You are putting your definition of rape porn, which you describe as BDSM rape scenarios with consent and safe words porn, onto what others are talking about, when that's not what's being said--at all.
