Are there any? Where does the writer who writes of the rape, the childabuse, the loveless sex go? Is there a list because I simply can not find one.
publishing houses for the non-romantic...non g/l...non sex for the sake of sex...

I would guess that most publishers shy away from the eroticism of rape and child abuse, since they could be seen as promoting such behaviors in their readers. Yeah, I know, mystery readers don't go out and commit murder--but people do indeed imitate scenes in erotica. Some day I'll share the story of the turnip.
Anyway, rather than seeking a list someplace, go shopping, ideally in the flesh rather than online. Browse extensively at a store that carries what you write. Jot down the names of publishers, authors, and titles, then come home and do your research.
That said, I'll go on record as saying that I find no possible erotic content in a rape or in the abuse of a child, and I worry about those who do.

I would not consider this a topic to file under erotica. Erotica is not just writing about sex acts, but doing so in a generally approving manner--and it is my guess that this is not in fact what you are asking about. Ergo I hope you will understand of I close this thread and suggest you post the enquiry in the research or novel writing areas.
