Yknow part of me is so curious why rape is so common in BL stories. Any thoughts? I’ve thought about it and maybe it’s due to the rape culture in Asian countries? Many men fetishize rape so is it women with rape fetishes or women trying to “balance the scale?”

    Rape? In the most recent chapter?

    That can be seen in a lot of eastern mature content in general, what would constitute as rape would simply be played off as being shy or a little fun resistance. This is apparent in both male and female targeted content, and really, I think it has more to do with the power dynamic than the actual act itself. Like some people would like to get dominated and overpowered in bed, but not raped, like there has to be safe word so my partner knows when to actually stop, and on the same side, I know some people would like to dominate and overpower there partner in bed but not actually hurt them, again the implementation of a safe word or signal to let them know they're going to far and to seriously stop.
    Now power dynamics are not the only reason, there are a lot of reasons, but I feel like that's the best way to explain since I'm not the most qualified to.

    i mean what would you call it? intoxicated people cannot give consent and sex minus consent = rape

    In Heesung's defense, I think they were both intoxicated, but you're absolutely right.

    exactly they both were but i think we can tell from the way Heesung is speaking that potato was a lot more defenseless.

    From what I read and heard from my friends' experiences (and from my own experience too), in reality having sex for men is so tiring, real life men just can cum once or twice, thrice if they can or could, more than that is just amazing.
    Women in other side, they not really feel the tired the men experienced during sex, since the one who do the work more is the men. When women demand another round, men need time to charging their energy and sperms.
    So I'm guessing, women use any kind of media ( from novel, fan fiction, comic or manga ) to fulfill the gap. As women can easily pour all kind of their fantasies, they can becomes wild. No line, no boundaries can tie their wild imaginations. We can write or draw every fantasies we like.
    .
    Or maybe we, women really have some naughty thoughts about sex but really shy to utter it with our partner, and tend to like for it to keep hidden. And what keep hidden will becomes wild when it release. Making something can release everything from our mind, so take a guess then what after that will coming, lol
    .
    But if the women using rape to "balance the scale", I think it's not quite right. If that really the cause, then women need to do something serious ab it.
    .
    So my point is, enjoy the fantasies in this site. All of them are fantasies ( esp BL ), we come here just to release some stress from real life burden, so don't take anything serious esp from BL mangas/Webtoon :))

    Hope this can help^^

    In my opinion it's because of the trope of handsome rich men liking someone and being possessive and imposing, and that passing through rape. It feels nice, fanfiction wise, a supposed powerful men liking you. When we see rape in manga/webtoons and etc, we as viewers forgive their behaviour because we know they're are either in love or are going to fall in love so it's like "ah it's OK bc I have feelings for you and me being forceful on you was my possessive way to show it". We overlook the rape because, we know, that at the end of the fucking story, everything will be sunshine and rainbows, their so toxic relationship will look nice now because finally the rapist treats their partner better (most times just the fucking bare minimum). Like in Bj Alex, their relationship finally seemed good but STILL Alex would always demand sex when and where he wants, never stopping at round 1 and doing whatever pleased his dick (who cares about their bottom? not alex) and convincing DG that's what he wanted, in the end he had no choice or else no boyfriend.
    In the end I personally believe rape is popular because some people like that the character had no choice, but everything is fine! they enjoyed it in the end. They will end up together so what matters. They like each other so what's the point.
    Sexual assault by a person known to the victim accounted for 646 (76%) cases. The majority of these assailants (68%) were described as acquaintances; 139 (21%) were current or previous boyfriends or spouses (Jones JS, Wynn BN, Kroeze B, Dunnuck C, Rossman L. Comparison of sexual assaults by strangers versus known assailants in a community-based population. Am J Emerg Med. 2004;22(6):454-459. doi:10.1016/j.ajem.2004.07.020) My point is we only acknowledge rape made by strangers and family members and the others above.

    (sorry if it is confusing, I'm aware I repeat myself and don't really follow a line of thought but whatever I think my point is understanding enough)

    Actually there are men who can do 3-4 rounds w/o resting, just change condoms and do it again. But, mostly they could do 2 and rest in between. The problem is if they cum like about 3-5 mins. That be really bad.

    And you’re right everything in BL manhwas are exaggerated and should be taken as just fiction, in reality anal sex isn’t easy to do as how they casually do it in manhwas the bottoms usually prepare for it or it’ll get messy.

    Rape in BL is not all about sex it’s about POWER. It’s too unrealistic to see so many instances of non consent in a love story or relationship. But...we readers like UNREALISTIC! That’s what makes it fun and engaging to read.

    Rape fetish is normal and healthy especially for women.
