GoGoEnslavement and BatheHerAndBringHerToMe both are based on the idea that enslaving a beautiful woman is exciting. It's about dominance and power being combined with sex which apparently turns some people on. (However it's not accepted behavior- so it's usually the villain who engages in it).

Because of this it's more likely to be the setup to a RescueRomance. There is also more likely to be emphasis on the girl's purity as well. And the idea that goodness and beauty can be found anywhere, not just in prosperity.
