I think part of the disconnect there is that, as ever, most fic writers are women. In my experience, men are a lot more likely to have a guilt crisis over our sadistic fantasies. We're afraid of becoming rapists or abusers, or just being taken for those things. We're taught that violence is part of us, and we have to control it for our own safety and that of others.

Women are stereotyped as harmless, unable to offer any more harm to a man than slapping his face or pummeling ineffectually against his chest. It's harder to be afraid of really hurting someone when you've been taught that's impossible, you know?

I've seen this done with a couple of female characters, but it wasn't "am I a monster because I like spanking people?" so much as "am I a monster because I like shooting bad guys in the throat with a bow and arrow?" I guess the idea is that the character has already proved to herself that real violence is something she enjoys. (Steward of Song by Adam Stemple goes into detail with one of these arcs.)
