Why does it turn me on to see someone cry?

happens to me sometimes
... not always, but sometimes when I watch videos of beatings, it excites me to see someone being beaten or crying, it excites me to see that desperation on their faces and I can't help it.

I've only done it 10 times, and it's not something that happens to me very often, but sometimes it happens to me, sometimes the pleasure is sexual and sometimes only psychological, but I do have the capacity to feel empathy and sometimes when I see someone suffer sometimes if I feel empathy. other times I do not feel empathy, there are days when it is more complicated for me.

  • Dacryphilia is defined as becoming sexually aroused by seeing someone display strong emotion and/or the emotional release accompanying crying. Dacryphilia may include an element of sadism or could represent an extension of normative human behavior towards crying (wanting to comfort).
    When it comes to getting turned on there really is no “normal”, you feel what you feel and experience what you experience. Having said that, it's not at all uncommon. Being turned on by crying is well enough known to have a name - dacryphilia. You could try and figure out why you feel aroused.

  • That's sadistic, bordering on evil.
    You should probably avoid that behaviour and try to tap into your empathetic side.
    Just my opinion.

    • I don't see it as a big problem to go to therapy, I think it's better to distract yourself and avoid thinking about it. yes, when I don't see violent content I get depressed, but when I see it I relax and feel good. Right now I deprived myself of those videos and I haven't seen them for two months, I think I'll be able to do it on my own. I just have to master it better. I did not know that my condition was called sadism..

    • It's an important issue for you to be aware of. You never want to get to the point where you're hurting your loved ones and enjoying their suffering. I dated a woman like that once and it really did a lot of damage to me. I really do hope you can correct your behaviour and focus on being a caring person.

    • well that depends on the level of evil that the person has, it's like psychopathy, there are different degrees, some higher than others and like me I would never hurt someone I love, surprisingly despite being not very empathic I am very affectionate and even I have pets and I treat them well, I consider myself a kind and sweet person in the way I treat others and I consider myself someone shy. and being somewhat sadistic does not define me as a bad person
