Yes. It’s normal to have the fantasy.
And it is also one of the most important places to be precise, because fantasy is not the same thing as real-world consent.
Many people have “forced” or “taken” fantasies because the mind is strange and erotic. It plays with taboo. It plays with loss of control. It plays with danger inside a safe frame. It plays with intensity without consequences. It plays with being wanted so hard it feels like hunger.
For a lot of people, the arousal is not about harm. It is about relief.
Relief from decision-making. Relief from being “good.” Relief from having to ask. Relief from the part of adult life that is always managing optics.
A fantasy can let someone feel overwhelmed and safe at the same time, which is the entire trick.
Having the fantasy does not make you a bad person. It does not mean you secretly want to be harmed. It does not mean you are endorsing real assault. It means your erotic imagination contains taboo, like most humans do.
The safety line is not “never think it.”
The safety line is “never confuse thinking with permission.”
If you want to explore this kind of fantasy in adult life, it has to be negotiated with someone who understands consent at a high level, who respects limits, and who can stop instantly without pouting, punishment, or ego.
Because the whole point of consensual “non-consent” is that consent is still running the show.
If the person you are with gets offended by safeguards, they are not the person to do this with.
If you feel ashamed for having the fantasy, do not let shame push you into secrecy. Secrecy is where people get careless. If you ever explore it, explore it with clarity.
Your brain is not a crime scene.
But your real life should stay safe.
