Hmm. I actually don't like -rape- scenes either. I like love-scenes where one character is enjoying it in spite of themselves and it's all, "No...NO....NOOOO... OHGODYES"... that sort of thing~:)
I don't like psychological defeat, actually, -ever-. That's probably the heart of what turns me off 98% of everything labelled(!) non-con. I hate to see characters -psychologically- abused-- physically is fine because I like characters who can (psychologically!) overcome, you know? Bounce back. So it's not all goodness and light (i.e., I like angst), but on the other hand it's not bleak.
I do like the "outside force" idea, because in a way, -love- is that outside force~:)) And yeah, the aggressor is also, in a big way, helpless (in their passion, heheh). Calling it a -rape scene- over-defines it, I think. I like more ambiguity than that. And more emotional depth. Rape is so simple-- pure violence and hate, really. So yeah. I like it when things get hard-to-define and passionate and out-of-control, for whatever reason~:)
