Rape doesn't have to look like rape to be rape. Rape doesn't have to hurt to be rape. To always portray it this way is harmful and misleading. Many people report experiencing pleasure during rape, even when far more conscious than Maureen was here. In fact, this is believed to contribute largely to what keeps people silent. Pleasure or no, it's still rape and it's still terrible. I wanted to create a situation where, even though it was initially pleasurable, the violation couldn't be denied by anyone looking in on Maureen's story, no matter how she felt during the experience.
