I'm working on a prose that depicts a sexual act that I feel readers should be uncomfortable with. I'll spare you the details, but the short version is that the main character is turned on by a violent act they just committed. I'm afraid that due to various cultural influences (video games, action movies), the reader might need some extra hints that this is supposed to be a bad thing. To give a bit more detail: this is a work of interactive fiction and if the reader gets to this part of the story, it means they've chosen to do something violent, which I hope to punish. What's a good strategy for ensuring the reader is made uncomfortable by this?
