I am currently working on a novel (science fiction/fantasy genre). It's the first of a trilogy. It is pivotal for the character growth of my Heroine that she undergo some sexual trauma. As my story map progressed, It became clear how that was going to happen.
A little back-story -- 2 conflicting "nations" so to speak. heroine is from Nation A. Nation B captures and imprisons her. In this world, homosexuality is considered unacceptable and is punishable by death. Nation B is governed by a woman. her daughter, who is in her 30s at the time our Heroine (who is 17) is imprisoned, is a lesbian, but because of her mother' influential power is overlooked and forced to stifle her sexuality. This, along with other factors in her life, causes her to become mentally unstable. She is sexually sadistic, and feels the need to assert her power by brutal torture, intimidation, and rape of our heroine.
I am a heterosexual female and have never (thank the lord) been in any sort of abusive situation when it came to sex or otherwise, nor have I had any sort of lesbian experiences. I am therefore at a loss when it comes to describing such activity. I know my own body, and I know the just of what would be involved in same sex relations between women, but I don't know how a woman would go about behaving in a "dominant" nature over another woman such as the way our heroine needs to be dominated. It is supposed to be a very traumatic experience for her, and needs to be one of the issues she works through in the trilogy. I don't want her physically harmed beyond any immediate repair.
also keep in mind that this is a science fiction novel, and set in a society not unlike our medieval times. It is futuristic, but has back-lashed into a world where there are only remnants of our own. i.e. no sex toys, modernistic devices, etc. I actually don't think I want the rapist-woman to use anything other than her own body.
please, though. regardless. I would like to hear opinions, and maybe some experiences (though I appreciate that rape is a very traumatic experience for anyone, and is not to be shared lightly.) but any help I could get for this would be very much appreciated.
Thank you so much!
