You might be interested in this post (http://www.livejournal.com/users/rosenho/144649.html#cutid1) by rosenho and the responses. It's about the use of the term "noncon." (i.e. why use "noncon" rather than "rape" to describe a fic?)
My 2 cents: "noncon" doesn't have the same jarring connotation as a word that "rape" does. Rape is 100% awful and unsexy and pain and real life horror. Noncon can be that 1980's bad romance ravishment (or whatever else) *fantasy* that one can take a sinful, guilty pleasure in.
