I think the problem is that it's a scenario of being raped by someone you find attractive in some sense, which is necessarily how rape fantasies inside one's own head go. Even if it's a degradation fantasy, you're still running it.
I don't see how such rules can be made to be a generally good experience in the real world for all involved, unless there's some extreme improvement in people's ability to read each other for "this will be fun" and willingness to not override other people's real consent.
I think there are some, ah, highly unusual people who want to be raped by unattractive people because its even more degrading.
But anyway, the way that rules could be made to work for everyone would be to institute a code like 'everyone wearing a red hanky wants to be raped'. With smartphones this could be made more sophisticated, and you could set statuses such as only wanting to be raped by people who are rated at least 3/5 on looks.
But this is still a way of giving prior consent in general, rather than legalised rape.
