Someone want to explain this to me? Anonymous
SO. I'm trying to figure out why I have an addiction to being scared, or whatnot. Some people say like.. endorphines are the source. Like.. the more I'm surrounding my body and mind to such chemicals, the more my body craves it. But it's not just that I'm addicted to being scared, I'm sexually attracted to it as well. After I watch or read something scary, I can't leave my boyfriend alone. XD Not that he cares, just.. he's confused as to why I get off on scary shit. Any others like me out there? I'm sure there are, you all are just too shy or 'ashamed' to admit it. Well, here's your chance. What scares you the most? For instance, this picture unnerves me to no end. @_@..

Quite possibly, your sexual reaction to scary shit (such as the dog-headed manbeast in that picture AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) is your mind's way of reaffirming life. It's the same for people who enjoy having sex in a graveyard: You defeat death, or in your case, the fear of death, by creating more life.

A basic understanding of behavior, cognition and neuroscience can help here.

Basically a woman wants somebody to protect her. You have chosen a protector, that is, your boyfriend. When you get scared that biological resource and end product of millions of years of evolution called the brain, will cause you to seek out your mate and protector. A sexual response is just a way to reinforce that bond that you already have.

This would also go a long way into explaining the time-honored tradition of bringing your date to a horror movie in order to "achieve results".

I'll admit it, I've even fantasized about sexing a demon.

I just get a really cozy feeling inside from reading/watching scary stuff. preferably at night, and with some fitting musics.
("Skinny Puppy - Nature's Revenge" and "Dismantled - Clench Your Teeth" are old favs)

I mainly like, oh I hate not knowing what to call it, those wierd unexplainable and sorta epic themes. Like Lovecraft and Roadside Picnic (Stalker), holders, SCP etc. the things that make you feel small so to speak. it's just... cozy.

It's called cosmicism, a philosophy first presented by H.P. Lovecraft. It's a bit like nihilism, in that it claims humans are pointless dust, but different in that there ARE grand and important things going on in the universe, they're just things that we can't possibly understand or relate to.

Perhaps "cosmic horror", in this case.

Also, will you marry me?
