Question of the day: is there a specific word or term to describe someone whose political beliefs are in direct contrast to their sexual fantasies? An example of this would be a female feminist who has rape fantasies (of the heterosexual variety, I suppose; a related question would be, does this apply to a female feminist who fantasizes about being raped or dominated by a woman?)
(As a side note, do not attempt to make assumptions about my own political views or psycho-sexual makeup based this question. It's a theoretical issue, although I am not opposed to rape fantasies or sadomasochistic tendencies as I think many various expressions of sexuality are natural and healthy. Do as you like as long as it's mutually consensual.) Anyone know if there's a word for this? It's occurred to me in the past but I keep forgetting to pose the question to the general public. How do you describe the reconciliation of opposing sexual and political orientations? |
