I remember reading a thread on another forum about some guy who's girlfriend supposedly got raped at a party. She wouldn't report it for some reason so he said it's what ever and kept it moving.
A few weeks later he went through her phone and read texts between her and her friend talking about how it "kinda" felt good and i guess that's why she didn't report it, but yeah it ticked him off and he broke up with her.
It kinda made me think for a while.
So i did some research and this article popped up.

http://www.avoiceformen.com/feminism/study-reveals-female-rape-victims-enjoyed-the-experience/A university study, Romeo, Felicia F. “Acquaintance Rape on College and University Campuses,” AAETS. Web. 22 Nov. 2010.” The study of female rape victims concluded that the majority – 57% – of women who were raped on college campuses, reported feelings that were described as “positive” and “satisfied,” about the experience.
The study reflected survey results of 1,700 victims of rape that was perpetrated by a male acquaintance in a social environment, also known as “date” rape.
A meta analytic review of related studies pointed to the validity of the Romeo study. Hoskins and Fisk, 2010.
Perhaps surprising in the survey results was the fact that nearly 38% of the respondents reported a desire to repeat the experience, some obsessively so.
This would also be quite consistent with findings outlined in an article from Psychology Today, regarding the prevalence and incidence of rape fantasies in women, much of which are quite extreme and violent.
From the article:
From 1973 through 2008, nine surveys of women’s rape fantasies have been published. They show that about four in 10 women admit having them (31 to 57 percent) with a median frequency of about once a month. Actual prevalence of rape fantasies is probably higher because women may not feel comfortable admitting them.
For the latest report (Bivona, J. and J. Critelli. “The Nature of Women’s Rape Fantasies: An Analysis of Prevalence, Frequency, and Contents,”Journal of Sex Research (2009) 46:33), psychologists at North Texas University asked 355 college women: How often have you fantasized being overpowered/forced/raped by a man/woman to have oral/vaginal/anal sex against your will?
Sixty-two percent said they’d had at least one such fantasy. But responses varied depending on the terminology used. When asked about being “overpowered by a man,” 52 percent said they’d had that fantasy, the situation most typically depicted in women’s romance fiction. But when the term was “rape,” only 32 percent said they’d had the fantasy. These findings are in the same ballpark as previous reports.
Clearly, there is much yet to be understood about women and their predilection for being physically overpowered and forced to engage in sexual activity in a violent way.
And it calls into question whether prevailing attitudes about rape may be convoluted due to a social taboo against the practice.
It may be time in modern culture where we need to start evaluating the possibility that women, through the cultural expression of patriarchy, may be unfairly restricted from articulating their desire to be raped, and as such cut off from the full actualization of their sexual freedom.
In another Psychology Today article on dealing with the sexual liberation of women, some aspects of repression were addressed.
From the article:
What caused the sexual revolution?
Many factors may have been implicated, such as improved contraception (the pill which gave women more control), but effective condoms had been widely used for a century. Marriage prospects and careers were the key. Women’s marriage prospects worsened steadily throughout the sixties and there were only 80 men of marriageable age for every 100 women (2) thanks to an echo effect of the baby boom a generation earlier. Women also postponed marriage as they developed careers.
The net result was a large and increasing population of women who were sexually active outside marriage. Facing stiffer competition for men, women upped the ante by offering increased levels of sexual intimacy outside marriage.
In addition to complying with the masculine desire for sex without strings, women today adopt a more masculine sensibility regarding issues of number of sexual partners, sexual variety, and sexual satisfaction.
And, in a related study by Kale and Weiser, 1998, it was suggested that the full actualization of that liberation would include the idea of women’s pervasive rape fantasies being fulfilled spontaneously by men in their immediate environment.
On a more subjective note, this could be an explanation for the recurrent theme in feminist literature of “rape culture.” It may well be that the outward obsession with this notion, in a culture that clearly condemns and punishes rape, may be a matter of projective denial reflecting a desire for an actual rape culture to emerge in order to fulfill women’s unfulfilled sexual desires.
It also calls into question whether the concept of “consent,” where it relates to sexual activity, is antiquated. Indeed it calls into question whether the concept of “rape,” in the literal definition, is just a cultural misconception for a male tendency to fulfill women’s desire for sexual excitement and thrills and women’s collective desire to see this accomplished.
That would at least partly explain why there is currently far reaching efforts to broaden the definition of rape, given we interpret those efforts as an attempt to fulfill as many rape fantasies as possible.
All this should be considered, however, with the caveat that the Romeo study found no results whatsoever as presented in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article, and the fact that the Kale & Weiser and Fisk studies are not extant.
These items, indeed this entire article, are illustrative examples of what Murray Straus identified as “Evidence by Citation” and other forms of academic fraud in widespread and unchallenged use by feminist ideologues. They were presented here as an example of their destructive use.

This would probably explain why rape is “the most underreported crime.” I’m sure there are many women who have enjoyed the experience, but would never admit for fear of being ostracized. Obviously, not all women enjoy being raped, or you wouldn’t have any women going to the police.
I’m sure there are many variables that affect a woman’s enjoyment of rape or lack of. Did the rapist use a weapon on her or threaten to kill her? Was there a beating in addition to the rape? Did he use a foreign object to rape her? Was he a George Clooney lookalike, or was he just some smelly drunken bum off of the street?
The bottom line is this: regardless of whether or not most women enjoy being raped, the crime itself is pretty much trivial. Yeah, yeah, feminists claim it’s a violation of a woman’s body, her soul, and her entire existence. Whatever.
Bottom line is, rape is a form of sex. It’s not murder, and it’s not a form of assault that causes serious or permanent physical damage in most cases. It’s indicative of the unhealthy obsession our society has with sex that sexual assaults are punished far more severely than non-sexual assaults. The crime is taken so serious because it is a remnant of the good old “chivalrous” days when a woman who was not a virgin was thought unfit for marriage and also when a woman could get pregnant and not be able to get an abortion.
The reason some women display such deep emotional suffering after being raped is that they’re told at an early age that rape is the most horrible violation imaginable, and if you get raped, you should exhibit symptoms of severe psychological trauma.
