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.

don't you hate when people "ask a question," but it's really just a statement with a question mark? Scootaloo Aug 2014 #16

Lack of consent is depicted in Tons of bdsm films darkangel218 Aug 2014 #27
Are you asking or telling, now? Scootaloo Aug 2014 #30
Im talking about BDSM darkangel218 Aug 2014 #31

No, rape porn/rape play is just a role play and nothing more. Im not lacking imagination. darkangel218 Aug 2014 #87
You are incorrect. MineralMan Aug 2014 #88
Rape play is extremly common in BDSM movies and lifestyle. darkangel218 Aug 2014 #91
Not my kink, so I wouldn't know. MineralMan Aug 2014 #93
It has everything to do with BDSM. darkangel218 Aug 2014 #94
