its not different really its ur fantasy

so ur answer is mild stimulation pretty much the same as what i said by the way

pinches the tush of the thrill kill

But don't you sometimes feel sexual arousal too, I can't be the only one with this??

Hi lisa: I wonder if the same chemical/neural arousal that happens with this stimuli "happens to be the same arousal" that happens with sex-related arousal. That doesn't mean they have to be related to sex, right?

I read somewhere that the brain can send the same signals for "hungry" and "tired" even though these are normally NOT related. I also notice that some spiritual attractions can come across as sexual attractions because of the same intense feelings, but not all spiritual attractions are necessarily connected to sexual relations.

So what if the response to stimuli happens to be the same or similar? But it doesn't have to be sex-related. Isn't society passing judgment, when it doesn't have to be interpreted this way?

Not really, no. Though, the murder stories I wrote do turn me on to some degree and sometimes I may feel some mild sexual arousal when I see a picture of an attractive murder victim who was raped. I don't know if that's what you consider dark imagery though. For the most part I'm not really affected by it one way or the other.

What kind of dark imagery are you referring to that gives you sexual arousal?

Emily, that's an interesting way of perceiving it. We would have to ask a neuroscientist that one but I am thinking more along the lines of trauma and psychological abuse confusing or interrupting what might be classified as normal response to negative stimuli or morbid/dark stimuli.

Basic scientific information has explained to us that environment and early childhood abuse and trauma contributed heavily to aberrations in the brain, I think pre frontal cortex.

So in laymen's terms my wires are crossed? Or I am reading to much into it?

 Yes, your brain, as well as mine apparently, aren't wired the same as most other people's.

I am referring to what you described but my arousal would be a different scenario. I guess because I would still see this as rather taboo, I was skirting around it.

I was reading that male serial killers often achieve orgasm after or during the act of killing and that Aileen Wuornos and one other woman who was executed and on death row were rare to experience this.

The dark imagery I was referring to was kidnapping/rape/strangulation scenarios, of course its only imaginary and fantasy for me. But viewing this in horror films or pictures is extremely stimulating for me.

I thought you may have had that stimulation as well, not emotion, there is no emotion attached to it just a rush!

 That's because Aileen Wuornos wasn't a sexual sadist. I don't recall any mention of her experiencing any pleasure during a kill. I don't remember the full story behind her, but I do know that one of her motives was money at least. I think she also had a lot of contempt for men.

I like watching rape and murder, but it has to be particularly brutal for it to even mildly stimulate me sexually. Most rape and murder scenes don't really do anything for me.

Interesting!! In the book I read, she was described as a disorganized, spree killer and specifically the author made note of the fact that she did get a "rush", interpreted as sexual stimuli as well as the other female killer.

And, yes she had contempt for men but her killing style was so different than most female killers it was masculine.

This is a tremendously interesting subject!

Most female killers in history used poison. Personally, I think poison is the most boring way to kill someone.
