Nonconsensual sex is a recurrent fantasy, but I disagree on the repressed. I think many people (mostly women) have such fantasies and not all of them are repressed.

Well, true, can't really make a blanket statement that every woman who has noncon fantasies is repressed, it just seems to me that it's a fantasy that appeals somewhat more to those who have control issues to start with. Then again, I could just be speaking for myself. :P

And yes, the "dubious consent" does make sense...and totally fits the whole fantasy theme. The reluctant bride kind of thing, which actually seems to thread through a lot of the old romance novels my mom used to read. You know, big, strong, handsome and slightly brutish male hero, soft, fragile, virginal female heroine, she's reluctant, he "knows what's good for her", it starts out with "no, don't" and ends with flowers and fireworks.
