Two studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that women with sexual fantasies involving force are interested in a more diverse range of sexual stimuli than women without force fantasies. In Experiment 1, 16 of 94 females (17%) had one fantasy with forced sexual activity. Those with force fantasies had more themes of group sex and sex with strangers; rated themselves as more frightened, guilty, and disgusted after the fantasy; rated the fantasy as one they could not act on; and read Playboy and watched XXX-Rated movies more than the no-force group. Experiment 2 replicated most findings of Experiment 1, and found that females with force fantasies were also significantly more erotophilic and sexually experienced. The hypothesis that females with force fantasies would be interested in a range of sexual stimuli and sexual activities was strongly supported and future research using experimental methods was suggested.
