Multiple issues refimprove July 2009 orphan February 2009 Hard fantasy is a sub genre of fantasyliterature that strives to present stories set in and often centered around a rational and knowable world. Hard fantasy is similar to hard science fiction , from which it draws its name, in that both aim to build their respective worlds in a rigorous and logical manner. ref name Lindskold ref name Brennan The two diverge in that hard science fiction uses real scientific principles as its starting point, while hard fantasy postulates starting conditions that do not, and often cannot, exist according to currently scientific understanding. Unlike its sister genre, the definition of hard fantasy is amorphous in practice. Some instances of the genre feature alternative geography and cultures without the presence of Magic paranormal magic , dragons , and elves stereotypically found in many other fantasy settings.

Avon Fantasy Reader cover A rape fantasy or a ravishment is a sexual fantasy involving imagining or pretending being coerced or coercing another into Human sexual activity sexual activity . In sexual role play it involves acting out roles of coercive sex. Rape pornography is literature or images associated with rape as a means of sexual arousal. Roleplay One form of sexual roleplay ing is the rape fantasy, also called ravishment or forced sex roleplay. Ravishment has become a more preferred term in BDSM circles, as it makes a distinction between consensual roleplay and non consensual assault. ref name rav Ravenstone, Desmond. Ravishment The Dark Side of Erotic Fantasy 2005 ISBN 1 4116 5547 8 ref Though consensuality is an important component of sexual roleplay, the illusion of non consensuality i.e., rape is important to maintaining the fantasy. Crossing the line may constitute an assault . Since the illusion of non consensuality is important to the fantasy, one or more safeword s are typically employed. This way, a participant can protest without stopping the scene, unless the safeword is used. Often a variation on the stop light system is used, with different colors designating different messages red to stop everything, yellow to slow down or take it easy, and so forth. For scenes where there is an element of surprise, the top or ravisher may use a startword or other identifying signal. ref name rav In consensual ravishment scenes, all participants carefully negotiate what will transpire beforehand. Limits are respected and made very clear, to maintain safe, sane and consensual play. Such negotiation would also include discussion of emotional issues for both partners, especially if there has been a prior history of actual sexual abuse or assault. ref name rav See also Rape pornography ...
