Those pages come from Wizard's First Rule, a book I haven't read since I was about fifteen, but which I was able to pull up in seconds on Google Book Search because the line about "throes of passion" has been seared into my memory ever since.
From memory, Kahlan gets nearly raped something like four times in the first book alone, including being thrown into a pit full of male criminals where another female character was earlier gang-raped.
I also recall BDSM pain ladies who Fear No Man, but who end up submitting to Richard anyway; a cult of women who progressively commit suicide to guilt him into going on a quest, and a WOC being repeatedly dehumanised and raped as a captive, after which Richard kills her husbands.
Oh, and something about women deliberately getting pregnant with mage babies so they can collect benefits from the mage tower, which is viewed in text as a Heinous Lazy Practice to be stopped, and also just... SO MUCH RAPE, YOU GUYS.
In fairness, I never made it past Temple of the Winds, a book so didactic that even my straight teenage SFF-loving dudefriends complained about its weird preaching, so maybe he's improved a bit since then? Stranger things have certainly happened.
There was also that scene where the bad guy cut off a woman's nipple in front of a bunch of people to prove a point.
oh yeah, I'd forgotten that one
