Hrm. You guys and your wild imaginations have me thinking of the short story by Margaret Atwood called Rape Fantasies (is sounds terrible, but is actually pretty amazing, even funny at times: Rape Fantasies by Margaret Atwood )

I want to be in a reject enclosure too! Like um... A reject tumble dryer?

These things are nearly as bad as that book that tells you what to do if something goes wrong in your BDSM dungeon.

Huh, that looks like really good book... I wonder if they have that at my library.
I have all kinds of crazy fantasies all the time. Most of them are about random silly things, conversation, death or romantic daydreamy type things, though. I don't think I've ever had a rape fantasy.

I don't think the term "fantasy" is completely accurate, as a "fantasy" implies something pleasant... Imaginations of something you don't find pleasant isn't really a "fantasy."

Anna - Nah, that's pretty much as bad as mine too. :lol: Well, without the death part.

Woo! And true, I guess at least you get laid in yours. xD /inappropriatejoke

Meh, I just call mine fantasies. But that's mostly because I find them funny even if they're horrible and sad/scary/bad. :/

I just don't want to call them that because it implies I like rape or something. :lol:
Because there are people who do, you know. :gonk: You almost... wish they actually would so they'd understand it's not sexy, it's terrible. Except I don't wish that on anyone, so I don't. But almost.

I think fantasy really just means "imagined". But who knows, I just come here to ogle the sig pics. =D

Well, I don't really have rape fantasies... er... what do you even call negative fantasies? And I kinda like the ring "fantasizing about death" has to it (I'm so emo, lolololol). Urgh, I know what you mean about that, though. I used to wish all the time that all kinds of horrible things would happen to me without actually considering how awful they really were, so I definitely think it would be helpful if people who found rape erotic and stuff had their eyes opened somehow to the fact that it's really not. Otherwise it'd be consensual. :/

Guivre - Yeah, fantasy just means imagine, but most people use it to mean and associate it with pleasant things. Like "sexual fantasy" or "this is a fantasy of mine," you know? So saying in conversation "I have rape fantasies" would make people think "oh god, she thinks rape is sexy?!"

Anna - Eeeexactly. Not rape if you're fine with it. :lol: That's just... random sex. Rape is... jeez I can't believe there's people who I'd have to convince rape is terrible. Just... put them in a room with a rape victim so they can get screamed at.

Well, in the short story, the narrator points out to the young women that what they are discussing ISN'T rape, per se - more aggressive sex with archaic gender roles coming into play. Then proceeds to make things delightfully awkward :3

Yeah, but it also illustrates the confusion with the word "fantasy," since many of the women meant a pleasant fantasy. The narrator, was the only one who meant unpleasant ones.

True. But then, I'm pretty sure Ms. Atwood meant for the title to be provocative (in the traditional sense.)

At first, I read that as "the BIEBER is only making things worse." I must say, I like my version better.

Also, here is a wonderful image I found when googling "the Bieber is only making things worse":
