To answer your questions I'd say it's closer to the latter: fear of not being accepted.
People keep saying that you should never need permission and validation in your most intimate moments, but to then have that same person come a long and say that whenever I have those moments I am am indulging my
inner rapist. It disgusts me!
I don't even like rape-hentai, I prefer vanilla. Summer's Beast, Without Our Parents Knowing, that's the kind of stuff I'm into. I'd much prefer a sex-positive female who can take the lead rather than a weak one who I have to force myself on. But when I said that all I got for a reply was:
that's just your social brain talking, your lower brain would probably prefer the weak one.
How am I supposed to feel positive and free about my sexuality when it might just be a
tamed instinct to rape? To simply say that
it's okay as long as it's a fantasy doesn't work with me. Why should anyones taste in hentai say something negative about their nature? I may prefer vanilla but I don't think that people who prefer the more edgy stuff are inherently more unsafe, some people just need more hot spices in their food to wet their appetites.
I mean what you like seems pretty normal to me and not all women prefer to be the sub in a relationship. I prefer a more dominant male, but that's just because I am more of a head strong individual so it balances me out in some ways.
Anyone who puts your tastes down is just being judgmental and shouldn't be taken to heart. I know I've had friends and even relationships where my tastes have been scrutinized; yes it hurts, but I look at it as I wasn't understood and I should move on. I know my current friends are pretty awesome and think what I enjoy is just fine. Even my current relationship was accepting of my fetishes and my desires.
The whole "women want a more dominant male figure" is an older way of thinking so whoever told you those things is really behind in the times. There's nothing wrong with wanting to take the lead in a relationship, but all good relationships require balance. I enjoy being a dominant at times, but being a submissive is also enjoyable and give the partner some power as well. Give and take is more realistic then rape and submit. I will be honest and say no logically thinking person wishes to be raped. The whole notion behind rape fantasy is in the sense of loosing control, but real rape isn't as sexy as they make it out in the smut books. I help counsel rape victims from time to time and believe me they never wanted something like that to happen and it wasn't fun for them in any way.
When I say that you need to be careful about who you talk to about your desires and fantasies, I'm not saying that you need to bottle up who you are, you are just waiting for the right people to talk about them. I know I felt the same as you a few years back in that I thought "why do I have to hide who I am?". Honestly though you are not hiding who you are, you are just learning to realize that it doesn't matter. You don't have to be all out there for people to learn to accept you. If they are the right people you can tell them things over time and if you find they aren't accepting of you initially or with more general things then there is no point to go further with some people. It's mainly to save you from being hurt in the long run. You also just learn who you can trust and not trust.
I don't tell people I enjoy loli or dirty old men hentai initially because not everyone will accept that, though I am at the point that if people find out I don't really care anymore lol. I was sensitive at first, but now I don't give a shit because I realized that I may be a bit odd, but I have a lot of other great qualities that if people focus on my quirks then maybe I need a better person in my life.
In the end you just have to accept who you are and see the good qualities you have aside from your horny side. There are people in this world who will not accept you for whatever reason and those who will, but the one who needs to accept you is yourself. Once you do that you find that you'll meet people who will matter to you and won't give a shit about yours likes and dislikes. Not sure if you've been with a partner or not, but if you have not or at the very least ones that have treated you like the special snowflake you deserve to be treated as lol, then give it some time. I have the strong belief that there is something for everyone so enjoy life till you meet that someone. I'm still working towards that myself (^^)
