- Many rape victims fantasize about being rape victims "for fun" after they
- have been raped. I have known one such and many more are known.
- Additionally many people who fantasize about being rapists or rape
- victims would be horrified by being either. As one example I satisfy
- all three possibilities in the previous sentence.

- Possibly it would be worthwhile for yourself and/or your close friend
- to go to a rape crisis center or other such center for the treatment of
- rape trauma. This commonly (given your lack of respect, possibly
- justified, for persons who treat the human mind) consists of discussions
- with other rape victims/survivors leading to an appreciation of the normality
- of the common reactions to rape and discussions of methods similar
- persons have found to deal with them. Many such persons speak highly of this
- experience.
