hi! i am a paraphile. we need to talk about paraphilias.
the big three are the ones most people know. aka, pedophilia, zoophilia, and necrophilia.
some people (if not most) do not want to be attracted to this. it is a result of trauma and a survival mechanism made up by the human mind.
not every paraphile wants to act on their impulses. most dont. but because these disorders are so stigmatized, they often cannot get the help they need or want to get better at managing it.
i do not believe animals, children, or anything dead can consent. this is upheld by the law and the moral code of human nature-- protect kids and animals, respect the dead, dont harm them.
some people act these out via kink. which is okay as long as it is done safely and consentually.
there are certain paraphilias that are completely harmless. some people are attracted to rain, some are attracted to plushies.
i myself am an autoassasinophile. i find being close to death or injured very very attractive. i deal with this via my partners. they both help me out, with consent and safety measures in place. i am allowed to stop anytime i want, and so are they.
paraphiles arent evil. they are people too, and deserve to be treated as such. the more we encourage the destigmatization, the more people can get help and manage these impulses better. its not normal for these thoughts to be ocurring, but they can be managed.
be nice. you dont know what happened or what is happening to someone.
