There was an interesting study done a few years ago. Men were recruited to take part in a study of exercise and sexual arousal. One at a time they were put on an exercise bicycle and told to pedal as hard and as fast as they could for 15 minutes. As each one finished someone read the odometer reading. Half of them had the experimental condition: a VERY attractive woman in spandex came by, looked at the odometer, and in a VERY snotty way said something like,"Is that all you did? I did five more miles than you did."

After the exercise the men were shown pornography and uh, er, their arousal level was measured. The men who got insulted by the attractive girl got much more aroused by pornography with violence in which the women were overpowered. The other group didn't.

It seems some men, especially those who feel they've been wronged by women, probably would be into fanticizing about rape. They fanticize about being the aggressor. Women, on the other hand, might fanticize about being the victim and thus relieve themselves of responsibility.

I've probably just run across some strange birds in my day. :-P

Yeah, probably not largely dominant in one sex or the other and more based on personality more than anything else.
