Guro Doujin
| I've never really understood what it is people get out of it. I just go limp whenever there's a drop of blood. Care to elaborate on why you like it?
| Researchg/u/rl again here. Question mark makes me happy and answering questions might very well be my fetish.

Psychology is a very.. touchy topic. Especially considering topics like these, where bodily dangers of a human is involved. (I assume; I don't judge if you fap to insect guro) (1/3)
| To start: Researching studies about violence-related media is hard. There are plenty talking about sadism (the closest example to liking guro, I presume), but few talks of genre such as guro.
So first, I took the data from studies of BDSM practitioners. Most research failed to find a definitive link between psychopathology, and BDSM.
It should be noted that they do see a higher-than-average dissociation in these practitioners, but other than that, consented BSDM is fine. (2/3)
| It's hard to know for sure how the genre will affect you as a whole. Psychology is hard because a good number of people can treat a certain *thing* differently — even those that may share a common interest as a whole.
However, I will say this for sure: if this paraphilia to gore doesn't affect you, or everyone around you.. well, I guess it's okay?
There is a lot more talk regarding the moral issues and whatnot, but it's a long issue I'd rather not deal with for now. (3/3)
| Hmmm
| You guys don’t get it, ITS FANTASY, you’re not masturbsting to a real life corpse. People have fucked up fantasies but they are just that a fantasy

Researchg/u/rl here. I want to be this dismissive towards the matter, and honestly, 99% of the time, it is as you described.
But after the rather lengthy (and numerous) read of papers detailing responses (as in 'sexual arousal') of child molester(s) towards stories relating adult having sex with a child, I feel that I need to make the common sense check for everyone involved.
| The whole case sounds too close to video games and violence as well. I think we can take a piece of note from that — it's even not too far off to think they're related to each other.
And since video games don't incite violence in children, if we can draw a straight line from there, we can be assured that guro (and all similar genre) would mostly not cause people to do dangerous things in real life.
| But hey, I'm a g/u/rl that reads papers and studies. None of my opinion are that of an expert.
| >>186145 of course there going to be some people that want to do this kind of stuff in real life but they’re a minority (I hope so). Most people have common sense and know it’s just a fantasy

Indeed. I favour the way to see this positively, but the skeptics in me keep nudging for paranoia. What do I know, though? I'm neither a fan of BDSM nor guro, I have little actual knowledge regarding the subject. –Researchg/u/rl
| I don't know what turns me on in Eroguro, I guess it would be the total dominance over one's life?
Either way.. people don't get these fetishes because of the internet, they were born with it, I remember as a young teenager having these violent fetishes and imagining scenarios in my head, I found and looked up eroguro because of that, fiction simply isn't like real life so it never crossed my mind to do it IRL, I thank the gods of freedom that eroguro is still legal.
| I've read quite a few articles from the FBI years ago when I got intrigued and found out the real life name for this fetish is erotophonophilia, according to them, they usually start with small animals, then move to prostitutes as they grow older, getting rough with them until they kill them..
Fans of Eroguro (and lolicon for that matter) come from a completely different background, their fantasies are inside their heads, not in the open world.
So no.. We're not psychos OP

| Is it okay to fap to guro doujins?
I feel like a slight psychopath for liking it so much...
