Dear Panel,
I am a young man attending college. I'm
afraid this question may be extremely difficult for
all of you. I'm having feelings that disgust and confuse
me, and I need help to understand if a certian degree
of it is normal, or just what.
I'm Aroused By The Idea Of Non-Consensual
Sex
I am aroused by the idea of non-consentiual
sex with a woman. It disgusts me, and I feel ashamed,
but I sometimes think about rape and forced sexual acts
upon women.
I Like To Feel Power
I have read many articles that suggest
that rape is about power, and not about sex, and I would
agree with them. It is the feeling of power that I am
attracted to, though I don't conciously feel powerless
during my everyday life. Please help!
Is This A Stage?
Do young men think about things of this
nature during a stage in their growth? Do I need to
seek therapy immediately?
Is this AT ALL normal?
