I've had stretches where I felt guilty. I think a lot of people have; it's an understandable reaction to grasping the horror of real rape, and thinking, "What's wrong with me for wanting that?" But I don't want real rape, and I presume you don't either. Rape fantasy is no more about wanting the reality than a shoot-em-up video game is about wanting to kill people. It's separating the bits that do appeal in a lot of people's heads from the genuinely wrong bits.
Me getting off to imagining being raped, reading stories about it, going to chat rooms, role-playing online, or even acting it out in a safe environment with fellow consenting adults doesn't hurt anyone. No one's being raped by my fantasy life, and as long as you can say the same thing, there's nothing wrong with it.
