Scenes of torture, why so arousing?

Ok, let me explain first,. A few years back during a girls night out on our family boat, as the television was on as background entertainment, a late night move that was playing caught my attention, during a very graphic torture scene I became so aroused I truly believe I experienced a spontaneous Orgasm, Later I rented the movie and it did arouse me the second time without the Orgasm though, since then I seem to be attracted and find violent movie scenes especially torture, very arousing. I don’t understand it and wanted to know if any other women find this erotically moving to them. I am not in any way a violent person and come from a very loving and protective family of high stature. Lately I have had the luxury of finding very good suspense and thrillers, one in particular had a whipping scene that still make me climax. Anyone else? Or am I truly strange with this one.

  • I've often wondered about this; I've heard from quite a few females that they get aroused, like you, by scenes of violence. I've never heard this from women who themselves tend to be violent, or experience a lot of it..

    Mostly I'e heard it from educated women, from fairly privileged backgrounds, who've not been exposed to any real violence in their own lives.

    I never hear this from guys, except from gays, who often react like women, of course, in a lot of situations.

    But there's a sizeable market among perv guys for videos of murder and violence against women...though I have yet to meet a guy who admits to being part of that market!

    But my impression is that these guys don't get a directly sexual thrill from those scenes, as I've heard described by you, and quite a few other women from similar backgrounds.

    I have no explanation to offer, sorry! I look forward to answers, I hope the girls will be honest!

    It's brave of you to not be anonymous...I'll bet there won't be one non-anony answer from women who admit to the same tendencies!

  • Bonnie... you are definitely not alone. I am still trying to figure out why it gets me so much.
    If you want to know what I mean... look up Mary Bryant whipping on Youtube. Than scene has me touching myself a lot.
    Scenes of girls being tied and whipped realistically (i. e film settings... not those horrific porn attempts)... turn me on beyond control.
    I also really struggle to watch films with that in in front of others as a really deep awkward feeling develops in my stomach.
    I think it is the fact that the person doing the whipping is in control... and the act of whipping is a slow way of torturing someone which is very 'involving'... as in... each stroke takes effort from the whipper. And he/she knows what effect he wants... what response he wants... and is totally in control of the suffering and enjoying it. Whilst the bound person is totally vulnerable to whatever they decide. It's something about this that gets me. But the pain they're in... the desperation... and the sound of the whipping is very arousing. You're not alone.

    • Have you ever watched the Saw or Hostel movies? In one of the Saw movies there's a scene where a gorgeous, busty blonde is hanging from the ceiling of this store that has a window looking out onto the street; she's horizontal to the floor. Two guys are strapped to some contraption that controls a huge circular saw blade that is slowly rising up towards the girl's belly. If the operate it to slow/stop the saw, huge, sharp metal spikes dig into their ankles & legs. The more they stop the saw, the more they suffer. Of course, they can't do it and the saw cuts into the girl's belly, spraying blood and guts everywhere. Everytime I watch it, I masturbate; can't help myself. I only wish the girl was naked. Then in Hostel 2, there's a scene where a kidnapped girl is hung upside down above something like an industrial bathtub; she's naked and very hot. This woman walks in wearing a bathrobe which she takes off. She's naked and she gets down into the bathtub under the hanging girl. The woman begins to cut the girl's body with a scythe and blood drips down onto the woman, covering her. Its like she begins to masturbate, rubbing her hands over her bloody breasts, but then that's all she does. For the coup d'grace, the woman lifts up a sickle and cuts the girl's throat. Copious amounts of goopy blood spray over the woman, drenching her head and face. OMG I came when I saw that!!! My only disappointment was the woman didn't actually masturbate, and I would have loved to have seen her penetrate the girl's vagina with the scythe.

  • you are either a sadist or a masochist, the former being into the torturing and the latter being into being tortured (when you look at the film which to you relate most to?) or BDSM. its not strange its just not everyones cup of tea

    • well I certainly would not desire to hurt someone, and I tend to disdain being hurt, I just love to watch, I guess in a voyeuristic way, two men fighting, or a handsome man overpowering someone, or humiliating them seems arousing to watch as long as I know it's not real

    • I've learned over the years I'm both. Not only am I a sub who is totally devoted to my mistress dom and her friends, I'm also a dom (when madam allows it!) who has a couple subs to do my bidding.

  • I gues that they're arousing because of their orgasms looks way more intense

    • YES!! Yes, it is more intense!!! My orgasms are always much more explosive when I'm being tortured!

  • Well you are discovering an attraction for bdsm. Just don't read 50 shades if you want to get informed about that.

  • I don't think you are strange or weird, but I do think you are in the minority. Most men like to be dominant and I was surprised at the number of women who do have rape of submission fantasies.

    Personally, I am more-or-less the opposite. I get aroused and excited at being a sexual or entertainment object for women including if they want to threaten me, humiliate me, or harm me (to a certain extent) all for their amusement. Same with using me (or not) without any consideration of my feelings or desires in a sexual way. My basic fetish often involves scenes like these.

  • Not my cup of tea, but whatever floats your boat.

  • My wife loves to tie me up so I can't move and get me off and keep going after I orgasm she will put a cock ring so I will stay hard longer so the ultra sensitivity will last longer sometimes I will get a second orgasm not too long after. When she wants me to orally pleasure her she will edge me many times to keep me aroused. Her favorite though is to tie me up and stroke and kiss me all over my body EXCEPT my penis she will come close to it but not touch it just for the pleasure of watching me squirm.

  • what kind of torture was it ?

    • I was a scene were a man was interrogating and electro torturing another man, it was from a movie called the Evil That Men Do, its very old

  • Watch reservoir dogs

  • You had an orgasm just by watching that scene... whoa.

    Sounds like you may be into BDSM.

  • my girlfriend loves to watch torture, and she loves to torture me. message me for details

  • i am turned on by these movies message me and i will tell you more

  • Bonnie, I'm right there with you! I first discovered how erotic horror movies were when I was like ten. My mom always watched them so I did too. And as puberty began to come on, I began to get really horny watching them with her. That summer, we watched a lot of the Emmanuelle series with Laura Gemser. I became increasingly sexualized with each movie until after watching Violence in a Women's Prison, I went to my room and masturbated furiously. I fantasized about being the one who tortures all those women prisoners, and I also fantasized about being tortured. I couldn't decide, still can't. I want both, to inflict pain on other women, and to have them inflict pain on me. Mom came into my room afterward and we talked about what had happened. She told me she felt the same way. After that, we began to watch them naked and masturbate together while we watched. Mom is gone now, died of cancer a few years ago. But my daughter is turning 11 this year and we've been watching the same movies. I've listened to her a few times, and she's masturbating too, just like me when I was her age. I don't know if its like genetic or what. But I'm sure looking forward to watching her pleasure herself while we watch horror movies together. Thank you so much for posting your situation. It totally inspired me to know I'm not alone and gave me the courage to post my own story. Hope you're still enjoying yourself!!!

  • I have seen that movie scene and I agree and identify with what you said. I dont know why this is, but your not alone. You might enjoy a scene from the movie 'The Witch Who Came From The Sea' 1978?, where a woman slowly castrates a bound man with a razor blade. You may want to turn the volume down as he really lets his feelings out. I find the scenes when its a woman torturing a male the most arousing and amusing. Do you have a preference?

    • the more I think of it the more preferences I have, I would love to see that movie you mentioned or a clip but can't seem to find it, my favorite is just watching a handsome guy slowly torture someone man or woman,(but I do not like the heavy blood scenes) they both seem to excite me

    • That scene is from a movie starring Millie Perkins. Another good one is a true story from the Vietnam war about a vc woman known as 'The Apache Woman' in a book about an American sniper Charles Hathcock :} who witnessed this himself. To get an idea about her she would have a captured marine tied naked to a bamboo rack and torture him until dawn, she was known to always start a session by removing the mans eyelids. Another woman [I forget her name] from another squad would tie a bound naked man in a squatting position and after a few tenderizing kicks would place red hot coals just under his dangling genitals and enjoy the ensuing fireworks. Can you tell me your all time favourite and where I can find it?

  • Not uncommon. Definitely not weird.

    Like someone said, look up BDSM. If you want to find out more, check out fetlife, and maybe google for "munches" in your area - that's what they call it when these kind of kinky people get together for "real world" dinner, lunch, whatever.

    Just be careful; there are some creepers out there. Go slow, and read up on how to be safe.

    And have fun.

  • No, you're not strange at all. Although it's not really my thing, it is for a lot of people. Just indulge yourself and enjoy it for what it is...a fetish that brings you sexual gratification.

  • If it's just torture, then it might be some BDSM thing. Do you also get aroused seeing people get killed? Gory corpse photos? What about people getting severely assaulted or mutilated?
