To be completely honest, and at the risk of looking like an obsessive freak, I'll break it down for you.Originally Posted by hondachik
From what I've gathered, it comes down to the following attributes:
Innocence - The blissfully ignorant are the most appealing and the easiest to corrupt in the way that one would see fit. Being inexperience in such areas gives the dominate member a stance of power as he will be the one to stain that which is pure. Let's face it, for a lot (if not most) people, carnal destruction is one of the biggest adrenaline rushes one can experience. This is simply another exit in which to vent that desire.
Purity - Pretty much the same thing as innocence, but in a more physical term. Think virginity as you read this description. Once again, every is clean, pure, and as God intended. The first thing most assailants pursue is destroying that purity and taking away all that is untouched. Whether that brings about a sense of accomplishment, a satiation of released desire, or something else, it's all about being the one to claim that which nobody else will ever be able to have.
Dominance - Power is everything in these attractions. With a figure that is significantly smaller and less powerful than oneself, it's easy to coerce or even force them into doing something even if they don't want to. Once the connection is made, the dominate being will forever have mental and physical dominance over the submissive one. Even on a small scale, we all enjoy having power. This is just an extreme version of that.
Hope this post doesn't scare you or give you an overly bad impression of me. I've just looked into the driving aspects of this a bit more than others.
