How do you know? Do you hang out with your Asian friends and compare penis sizes? Strange behaviour.
It's just a stereotype in Japan that White guys have small dicks. I'm not sure of how much truth is in it, I'm sure it's the same for any race, some people are small, some are big, most are in the middle. Not that anyone cares besides other men anyway.

I mean she was asking for it. Did you see what she was wearing?
I remember a story about such a situation but it was a grown man who kidnapped two teenage girls. They did at one point attempt to attack him when he fell asleep...and I don't recall if they were successful or not after that. Luckily they weren't killed and survived the whole ordeal.

I can see Hentai porn slowly coming to State side. Look at few of the games soon to be released by Aksys games Record of Agarest War & Deathsmiles. There are market for this sort of things and believe it or not. After the news announce Rapelay on CNN, torrent site are fill with request for download. So yes it is big.

I don't think there's anything specific about the rape genre that makes it attractive to the general marketplace. Even in Japan these things are pretty niche. That's why most of them are low budget. In North America you'd be talking niche of a niche of a niche. RapeLay is big only because of the "Well now I HAVE to see it" factor. When CNN is telling you how bad something is that's going to have the same effect as telling a 4 year old not to push the red button.
There is definately a market for large chunks of the Japanese doujin work / PC software business, both the adult stuff and not. Tons and tons of non-Japanese people download the manga / games released at comiket and stuff. Touhou games are pretty popular on the English-speaking internet for an example. There are blog websites that manage to make cash by charging for hentai doujinshi translations. DLsite has an English page that presumably gets enough cashflow to justify it's existance. Clearly, there is an interest of a certain level for products of that "world". Illusion's games are massively downloaded and hacked and whatnot too. Maybe they wouldn't be so well know here if it wasn't for the piracy and also the media uproar about Rapelay specifically, but they are indeed known.
I don't really know where I'm going with this but as I started writing it more examples came to mind so I just kept rolling with it. tl;dr there is totally a market for Japanese content in America.
If you want to say there's a market somewhere for something then I'd agree in the vaguest sense. But I'm not sure there's much of a correlation between these things being pirated or exchanged among like-minded people and how well they'd perform on the mainstream market. Shit, everything is pirated to hell these days.
Quirky Japanese stuff is still quirky Japanese stuff. Rosenqueen still can't sell a mere 2,000 copies of Mana Khemia 2's special edition and that's been sitting on the website for months. Add rape or lolicon to the mix and you raise the squick factor which lowers mass market appeal. If somebody put out RapeMaster Fantasy 20X6 on a GameStop shelf (assuming for a moment GS would allow it) it probably won't sell through more than 10,000 copies which I think is roughly the minimum print run for current gen games. I wouldn't necessarily call that "successful." I'd call it what it is. Very, very niche. It wouldn't be until CNN picks up on the story and everybody rants and raves about the game that people think "Holy shit, I have to see what this ruckus is about."
