Is part of the appeal of porn the fantasy of power?

I'm a woman who watches porn on a semi-frequent basis and what's occurred to me lately is that a lot of the porn I see is men not INTERACTING with the woman in the scene but CONQUERING her. It's not rape, exactly, because the woman is, apparently, consenting to it (they are not ENJOYING, just consenting), but there is a definite quality to it where the man gets to do whatever he wants and what he frequently wants to do is something equal to or on the verge of violence and humiliation. It's not just about getting off, it is about having physical power over her.

Which makes me wonder, when men who have no problem getting sex in their marriage prefer to masturbate to porn, could it be in part because they feel they lack power in their marriage? Is the fantasy of having physical power over a woman part of the appeal?
