I...um...am doing my best to avoid commenting on her personal life.
But hypothetically...:D
IF someone were to write something like what I just read, and they had a fetish, it would not be a rape fantasy with themselves as the rapee. All other concerns aside, LKH NAILED the emotional and physical responses to that situation. Everything prior to her actually orgasming is how a victim feels in that kind of situation. And I do not see anybody fantasizing about going through that. You do not get over that emotional trauma in an hour. Or in a couple of days, months, years, whatever.
And our brains are REALLY good at inserting parts of our personal lives into our creative work. I write a lot, and I go back and re-read old things and I'll be like "...I did not mean to write about that. I REALLY did not mean to write about that. Where did that even come from?" King wrote about himself and his addictions in Misery without meaning to, Terry Brooks did the same thing with Magic Kingdom for Sale/SOLD! and I think LKH has been doing that for a very, very, very long time. And I just don't want to touch it 'cause I'll probably find something nasty.
