Believe it or not, erotica back in the 70's and 80's, and even before then, had lots of rape...Like, LOTS of rape. Rape was considered "erotic". And it's why most women's romance novels revolve around big, strong, dangerous, mysterious men taking them and ravishing them not wanting it, but simultaneously letting themselves be taken.
Women view romantic rape as the man showing confidence despite the woman's self-assuredness. Men's view of romantic rape is taking a woman who denies him at first but comes to love him from how good he fucks her. Obviously I'm not promoting the idea that women want or deserve to be raped, but there's a psychological aspect that was a lot more broadly open and appealing to society before the 2000's.
