DID YOU KNOW, a very large number of the people who enjoy reading and writing SA scenes are survivors of SA themselves? It's very common, even if its thinking a story up in their own head. It's a healthy coping mechanism and it's called "reclaiming your narrative". Romantacizing their SA in a safe, fictional world allows them to accept themselves and cope with the common "self-disgust" survivors often have. Psychologically, it's the same technique as someone making jokes about their past traumas. I myself have my own traumas that reading these help with, and someone I'm very close to was victimized 3 times from 3 different monsters between the age of 7 to 16. She wrote a very long trilogy about a woman and her toxic obsessive captor/teacher. Writing that story is what gave her the courage to open up to her supporters and even CONFRONT and CUT TIES with the assaultant that was still in her life. I now hope she never publishes her story, as the many many people calling her "disgusting" will definitely harm her. You may think you're defending them, and you may be a person who this coping skill triggers, but PLEASE do not make insults based on assumptions. Saying "I don't like it/stopped reading because of the SA scene" is enough. Hell, say you hate SA all you want! However, DON'T insult the readers and writers of it and then give yourself a moral pat on the back, because there's a good chance you're insulting the very people you're trying to defend.
You've asked me to source information that took me 15+ years to find and learn about. And it's a topic we aren't allowed to talk about and rarely study, so there's a lot less information out there then there should be. But after an hour of looking this is what I can share off-hand. Also, I've included information about fantasies that feel good and bad. Each survivor copes differently so weather it's a 'fantasy' or not varies, but it is common regardless.
I'm putting the important one first. This is a Reddit thread made by a survivor and answered by survivors.

Here is a study about the increase of rape fantasies and SA survivors

Here's another study that found the same

Here's an article from Cambridge about sexual fantasies in general. It's locked, but if you scroll down to its sources there is a boatload of papers and studies cited that also have information on this.

Here's an interesting article considering the harmful effect of shaming women for their fantasies.
https://cfe.torontomu.ca/blog/2025/02/treading-lightly-why-we-tiptoe-around-womens-rape-fantasies
And the last source I have isn't a link, it's to 20+ women I've met through various support groups. Also like 15 therapists I've met.
Instead of silencing survivors and then deciding for them what their coping should look like, be a person they can share these things to without fear of shame.

Lol hit send accidentally.
Ideally rape fantasies will fade out after women are no longer being raped, but until then it's just more victim blaming and shaming.
If it's something you care about, you should really do some research on it. Please don't decide for others based on how you think they should feel. Especially in other countries, South Korea doesn't even have consent laws. It's not considered rape unless she is 100% unable to fight back. And you have to prove that in court as well. It doesn't mean it's right, but getting mad at the women who are sharing their experiences instead of the rapist is supporting the rapist.

Freak what the hell is wrong with these author and artist. First I read Palace of Bardo then I dropped that when MC got raped by his brother and now this?!? Same author works. Maybe in their other works too, have the potential but just full of r@pe and SA. That author always do disgusting things to the MC. Fcking disgusting.
