Eh. Not for me. I crave control in my daily life & stress about it. I love releasing control in my intimate life, I also like praise. Very much a bandaid to my regular daily life

🐛 Give Him Trees! 👁️ :
Not just heterosexual women, but gay people too! Carmilla (1872) and Dracula (1897) can both be read as romances where the main character is taken away by a dangerous monster and they have no choice but to stay with them forever (how terrible!). We’ve been writing fiction to explore desires seen as taboo for ages!

Crow in a College AU :
That's one of the many reasons people enjoy fictional CNC, but there's a lot of different reasons
another reason is because fiction is a safe way to take back experiences you've had and process complicated feelings.

I also kinda suspect the popularity of dark, obsessive male love interests is women feeling like most men they date barely put in any effort or care, so someone devoting so much attention is an appealing fantasy.

yeah exactly! like we demonize female sexuality so deeply the only way they feel they can engage in the type of sex they want is if they weren’t the ones who wanted it, the choice was made by someone else
