Why do you think we are the way we are?

[artificialafterlife]

Where do necrophiliac desires come from? Are they inherited? Are they a result of upbringing? As far back as I can remember I've felt this way and I had a decent childhood. Is my dad secretly a necrophiliac??? Lmao

 

[GregS4Fun00]

Good question, I also had great parents, and had these desires for as long as I can remember as well.......

It's a genetic thing you are born with it, a very special gift from nature.

I always thought it was from experiences from childhood where we were powerless to stop a bully and wanted to have ultimate control over others. When they're dead you can do whatever you want with them... ???

 

[GregS4Fun00]

For me it was always sexual arousal....

 

[callmecaleb]

I agree with Meatpie. It's genetic. Ordained from conception. No need to wonder or to question. Just enjoy.

For me, the attraction to boys was from birth. As was the unique desire to cut and bite and kill them. Never questioned it. It was me.

I will admit I did feel that way about a bully back in middleschool. Not because I was powerless though , I just thought he was cute lmao

so, paraphilic disorders are known to be heritable...or rather the *tendency to develop a paraphilic disorder. Which one you end up with is sort of the luck of the draw. In short, yes it is partly genetic. As with most things its a combination of genes and environment. This one seems to correlate heavily with early childhood neglect/abuse/trauma, and also has a fairly high comorbidity with cluster B (borderline, antisocial, narcissistic)personality disorders. From all the lurking I've done I can definitely say I wonder about some of yalls childhood but then there are some of us who are relatively trauma-free, aside from the usual mental wear and tear of life. Which brings us back to genetics lol

If any of my fellow nerds wanna read the studies I can send links

I'd be very interested in reading the studies!

Familial Paraphilia: A Pilot Study with the Construction of Genograms - PMC

Biological factors are likely predisposing and modulating elements in sexually deviant behavior. The observation that paraphilic behavior tends to cluster in some families is intriguing and potentially raises questions as to whether shared genetic ...

Here you go! It focuses a lot on p***philia (as one would expect) but does discuss more general paraphilic disorders as well. happy reading

Paraphilic fantasies and behaviours may be linked to underlying personality pathology, suggesting implications for assessment and treatment.

I forgot the personality disorder one! Oops

Possibly from a combination of upbringing and genetics. For others, maybe it's about power and fear of rejection, or a gradual dehumanization of others until they are reduced to objects brought on by a sense of detachment. Of course we care about people just like everyone else and have the same struggles and goals, but ultimately we also recognize that we will eventually die and when that happens, we are no longer people, and simply meat left to decay in the dirt or burn in a furnace. We are dead at that point so we do not and cannot care about what becomes of us afterwards.
