What’s your perspective of SA victims who felt pleasure during it?

I (26F) has faced an SA situation 2 years back. To respect this subreddit’s purpose & guidelines, I wouldn’t explain it too much in detail & will try to only mention the necessary details.

A guy (that I got to know less than 30 minutes earlier) forced himself on me when I verbally said “no” multiple times and was trying my best to fight him off of me. I was screaming & crying and begging him to let me go. Like, all the possible indications that I’m not consenting to it. But he kept going. At first it was extremely uncomfortable & painful but after a couple of minutes, I started feeling pleasure. So eventually, I stopped fighting and let him continue. He clearly noticed the clues that I’m “enjoying” (lack of a better word) & he continued. I ended up never reporting this cuz at that time, I felt like I consented to it halfway through so I wasn’t really a victim/ lesser than a victim. I felt confused, guilty & disgusted about myself. I have never told anyone about this but have been struggling with coming to terms of whether I’m a victim of R or whether this was a complex scenario of consensual S.

I can post any other context that would matter, in comments. I know context matters in coming to a conclusion about a situation like this but I have to keep this as casual as possible.

(I already posted about this in another subreddit and got really great responses. But I’d love to have more perspectives. I’m definitely considering therapy in near future.)
