Oh I definitely agree that therapy is very often a waste of time and money. Unfortunately, there are some people out there that can't find a good enough relationship with a significant other and have no other recourse.
And don't worry, you didn't appear insensitive because I did not understand where you were coming from in your background. And, as I have said before, I come from a pretty 'vanilla' background anyway. ;)

Re: Well done Jayda!
I would like to echo Malcolm's sentiments. I marvel at the strength with which you have moved on with your life. I also applaud your courage in sharing this story and opening yourself to criticism.
As to the question of why you might have rape fantasies, I have some thoughts.
First, I believe that sex is not a purely physical activity. It is (or can be) an intensely emotional experience as well.
Second, I have read personal accounts of war experiences where vets expressed that the intensity of emotion that they felt on realizing that they had survived a firefight surpassed anything they had felt before or since.
Could there be a more intense emotion than fearing for your life? Could it be surpassed by the realization that you survived?
