"You know what they say: Every girl wants a feminist in the streets and a misogynist in the sheets.".

I've met a lot of women how say that they (and a lot of women) enjoy rough sex.

Now, I'm well aware that this phenomenon isn't entirely unproblematic in the context of modern pornography. There's a lot of rough-sex-pornography today being consumed by (mostly) young men and there's been a bunch of studies linking pornography consumption to violence towards women, especially young women forced to discover sex with young men who've learned how sex should be through pornography.

Another thing making it problematic is the "rough sex"-defence oft-times employed by men accused of rape or murder.

So talking about rough sex as something even potentially positive can be problematic (especially when brought up by a man). When discussing above mentioned experiences I've more than once been told by women that "Women who enjoys those things have been sexually warped by modern pornography", that these sexual preferences didn't exist in women before modern pornography.

I do not know the right answer here but it would be interesting to see if this kind of sexual preference did exist before modern pornography. I've searched around and found a few answers touching upon the subject:
