[edit] Biastophilia vs. Raptophilia

The article simply makes it impossible to tell those two terms apart. What exactly is the difference between "dependent on" and "responsive to raping a victim"? -62.219.107.171 (talk) 21:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Could raptophilia exist?

Could raptophilia exist? It seems incredible unless it's a private phantasy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.112.113.113 (talkcontribs) 17:20, 26 November 2004

Raptophilia most certainly exists. Recently, as reported by Ananova, police in Brunssum, Holland responded to a reported kidnapping wherein a young blonde woman was kidnapped, thrown into a car, blindfolded, cuffed and raped. 22 police officers, motorcycles, cars and a helicopter were employed in tracking down the car, which was eventually uncovered about 30km away from where the kidnapping occured. When the woman was freed, she verbally assaulted the police officers, on the grounds that they had ruined a sexual fantasy she had spent months preparing.
It should be pointed out, however, that there are two distinct forms. One wherein the subject has an interest in a simulated rape, the preferred realism of which will vary from subject to subject. The other, less common variety, involves actual rape. It is important to note that a subject with the latter form of raptophilia may still respond to the rape in the usual fashion, and may incur significant trauma from the event.

But simulated rape would go under 'ravishment/rapeplay' would it not? I would also prefer if we could keep ravishment (including fantasy and roleplay) separate from biastophilia and raptophilia as to avoid confusion. Rapto- and biastophilia should, in my opinion, be used to represent being aroused by the thought, or act, of actually raping someone or being raped. With 'rape fantasy' the common reasons for arousal is dominance/submissiveness and/or lust - not the idea of being raped or raping. Mixing them all together would make it harder for us ravishment-folks to convince/explain to others that we don't actually want to be raped or rape. ---Thm 12:31, 23 December 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.166.50.229 (talk)

[edit] The state of this article.

This article is unreferenced, and a little unclear. Being as short as it does it doesn't answer any of the questions that automatically come to mind when being introduced to such a term. It should be sourced and possibly merged into rape, being that it may remain in stub form for a very long time. Lotusduck 19:57, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rapism

Rapism is a requested article, and I think it might be best handled as part of this article. If you think so (and can find an appropriate source), please add it, create the redirect, and then remove it from this list. Thanks, WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
