Does violence turn you on?

I recently had a conversation with someone and they described something which they did to one of their exes. It was violent but I understand why he did it and that it was exceptional circumstances, but what surprised me is how much it turned me on, his violence against this woman. I kept imagining him hitting her and it got me so hot. I know it's quite a taboo subject, and obviously it's just pure fantasy and beating people isn't cool, so feel free to answer anonymously, but does anyone else get turned on by extreme violence?

Thank you for all your answers people, perhaps it isn't that common but I'm glad to see I'm not completely alone in my thoughts!

  • I have been with women who asked for what I would call domestic/dating violence in absence of CONSENT. Informed consent by an adult extends the range of what's acceptable to me. Several gf's asked me to slap them: come on, give me a smack to put me back in my place. This is a part of a BDSM scene I was very reluctant at first but as she continued to ask either directly or by being a complete brat, I started with light, painless slaps and progressed to a firm slap that might leave a red spot for 10 minutes. They loved it. So I'm a little conflicted about it all. Clearly, anything that would result in serious or permanent injury is out of the question so, for instance, I would never hit a woman hard enough to injure her nor would I ever use anything but my open hand.

    There will probably be those who find this horrific and I support their right to that opinion. Until you've been with a woman who likes her sex very rough and who's very persuasive will any of us know what we would do.

    • thank you for your opinion. I think perhaps people have misunderstood the question. I don't want to see this violence or for it to actually happen, I'm discussing the fact that the idea of it seriously arouses me.

    • Ah! Sorry for the misunderstanding. Most of the ladies I've known in your situation saw it in a less abstract way than it sounds like you do.

    • I wouldn't say abstract, but maybe that's right. It just really really turned me on, nothing more than that. I would be horrified if I'd seen it (wee, I really hope I would be!) and I don't agree with violence at all, but it got me so wet!!

  • Domestic abuse (it sounds like this is what you've described)? No, that does not turn me on at all; it's quite the opposite, actually.

    Completely consensual sexual acts that might SEEM violent/aggressive? Yes, a pretty big turn on.

    • The actual incident in question wasn't really domestic abuse, there was a lot more to the story and the guy had never hit a woman before and certainly wasn't an abuser to the best of my knowledge (the opposite in fact), but he described quite graphically what he did and her state, and it just really did it for me, I'm not even discussing acting out these scenarios because there is no way someone would consent to that level of violence. I suppose it's just a far more extreme version of the rape fantasy that so many have, oh well, I'll just reside myself to being a little bit odd!

    • Yeah, nothing wrong with being a little bit odd. That's a big part of why fantasies exist anyways... we get to live out some weird stuff in our heads that we'd never do/want in real life.

    • Exactly, but sometimes, you just need a little validation that you aren't a psycho! I don't think asking this question did that, but it was still nice to have all of you lovely people's input.

  • Violence is different that overwhelming power. What "you" see in your imagination is power, what "she" is being through is violence. If you are in her place you won't be turned on, but from an outer look it's just a form of forcing power. Like the rape fantasies, in a rape fantasy you don't actually imagine a real rape but you imagine sex in a very overwhelming situation. And usually the more sex drive you have the more violence and power you need, it is natural.

    • I understand the difference and in no way want it to be a reality, just discussing the fact that the thought of it arouses me and seeing if it's a normal thing or something a bit more odd.

    • No it's normal.

  • Well not gonna like I like watching boxing matches because two half naked men beating each other up is kinda hot. Same goes for hockey, football, even soccer, a bit of violence between men is hot, but really I think knowing they're not gonna kill each other is important in that fantasy. A men being violent against a woman, especially one that trust him, that's a turn off, don't get what you see in that?
    Unless you mean like implying violence in the bedroom

  • Absolutely not. For me that's the biggest turn off that exists. I love to be treated like the lady I am. Very gently, polite, with care, not violently.

  • It is many peoples fantasy, mostly guys but I had an ex once who was always going out, getting drunk and getting picked up by guys who just wanted to fuck her, it was how we met and why we finished.
    I had this fantasy of her calling me one night from a guys house, drunk and wanting me to pick her up as the guy had 2 other friends in the house who would not let her out, then hearing them come into the room and listening on the phone as they jump her, hear them tearing off her clothes and imagining how they were holding her down and fucking her. Like you, it is a taboo subject and pure fantasy. I have always wanted to here if a girl ever had this fantasy also and what it is they found exciting

    • I totally get that, it I'm sure you're glad it didn't actually happen in the end though.

  • hmm no tbh...

  • I think I talked about this before. What kind of violence are we talking about here?

    I always like to think of it as a difference between violent acts and sexual frustration. That frustration bit can be pretty enticing but.

    A good example would be how a lot of people think of roleplaying sort of rape scenarios, maybe you caught something in a movie and you're like oh my god that's so hot. But then you get those movies that depict REAL rape, and it starts enticing but ends with going too far and you're just sitting there barfing ever so slightly into your mouth

    • Brutal, bone smashing violence. Bloodied and unconscious. And just so we're clear, this is a fantasy ONLY, I don't think its cool in real life at all! Maybe I talked to you about it previously, maybe not...

    • No that's too counter intuative... cause you'd want to love and protect someone right? Eeeh I wouldn't touch the stuff I guess. I never thought I'd be the wimp in this conversation :'D

    • God, I shouldn't have asked this question because my fantasies are a lot darker than this question implies, and I think maybe one person said 'yeah, I get you'... I think maybe I am a little darker than the average bear...

  • not if the violence is aimed at another person. If it's aimed at objects, it could be kinda hot I guess... It's a display of power thing.

  • Nope, not at all. I am disgusted by violence.

    • Generally, so am I, but I won't lie, the fantasy of it really does it for me. Would shock and appal me in real life (well, I really hope so anyway!)

  • i have been in a violent relationship before and i would never want to go back to it ever again its not good trust me

    • I have too, it isn't good.

    • so y does it turn you on?

    • That lack of control, it's wild.

  • it will never turn me on, it will disturb me a lot

  • I do not find violence to turn me on. It is an extreme turn off. Girls are special and delicate at times. They are not to beat on, my opinion.

    • thanks for your input

    • yep no problem =)

  • no. but for some reason all the movies, video games etc that i enjoy are hyped on violence. though that is not really what i'm into. when i see/play them i sometimes forget how violent they are

    • Hey, I love nothing more than beating people with a night stick or stabbing people in the back on GTA, I love it, definitely don't think it's cool in real life! Except maybe the beating golfers with their own sticks, that I could actually enjoy.

  • I hate violence

    • I don't agree with it either, but that wasn't the question.

    • I hate it so i wouldn't like it and it definitely wouldn't turn me on.

    • Sorry, sounded like a sarcy reply there - wasn't meant to be at all!

  • Nope. I'd be a little turned on if a girl saw me fight and liked it tho.

    • this would definitely turn me on, especially if you someone was bleeding...

    • Do you watch MMA?

  • i associate violence with the bad kind (unpleasurable kind) of pain so no.

  • I like to be playfully fighting with girls, turns me on. a decent slap if she likes it, riding her hard and tasting over her body to make her full pleasure. I guess I'm horny now haha

    • I used to play fight with my ex, he was a lot bigger than me but he could never pin me down - I was too tricksy for him, but I do wish he would have: pinned me down and done whatever the hell he wanted!

    • damn! staph. don't influence my young imagination, I'm just a kid haha

  • Nop, it doesn't turn me on.

    You said further down it's the lack of control that make it turn you on, why not BDSM then? No violence AND lack of control ahah.

    • Bdsm is very controlled, not done in anger at all. I think part of the reason I'm so turned on is that total lack of control, just losing it. Bdsm isn't like that at all.

    • I know it's a controlled enviroment. I thought you were talking about lack of control as in movement etc.

    • No, lack of emotional control.

  • No it doesn't, violence is actually does the opposite to me and turns me off. Why any one would be turned on my others getting hurt is beyond me.

  • Hell no.
    Why would violence turn me on.
    It turns me off.
    I am peace lover and let the love spread all over world.

  • I don't like violence in the bedroom but watch action scenes in movies get me really pumped. If that counts.

    • Yeah, I don't mean that you would like to see the actual violence committed against you, or anyone else in reality, just the idea of it arouses me.

    • * watching >.> and yeah I figured but I'm really not into that.

  • Oh wow ok. I am not offended but surprised by the question :)

    • If you're who I think you are, than than you for not being offended, and I'm sorry it's so related!

    • No it's fine really. I am a bit shocked that turned you on though.

    • I know I know, it's pretty messed up, but I'm not messed up, honest I'm not!

  • Sometimes yes. Some girls get off on watch that happen another girl. It's just a fantasy. I wouldn't want it to really happen
