For as long as I have memories I can say that I have had very sadistic and masochistic tendencies, as a young child not knowing that the feeling was sexual but still receiving arousal and getting off on things like torturing and causing humiliation to myself as well as thinking about doing the same to other people - although at this time my masochism was a lot stronger than my sadism. I remember playing with dolls and putting them in sexually humiliating positions and tying them up and hanging them. Also in movies when the characters would suffer or be killed was exciting for me. At age 9 or 10 my cousin of the same age tried to have sex with me as he thought I was asleep, it never went further than him touching me as I "woke up" when he was just about to try penetration. This didn't affect me much at all other than kicking myself [not literally

Anyway around the same time [age 10] I started looking at "normal" porn but couldn't really get aroused so I moved onto bdsm which was a little better, but still nothing much. This continued until 15, I just thought that I was weird because everyone else championed it whereas I just looked at it like I was watching some boring show on TV. It was at this age that I was particularly interested in serial killers and reading descriptions of their murders and that would make me hard, the more deviant and sadistic the better. Then I would search for images of crime scenes and dead and mutilated bodies and jack off while looking at them. This progressed into videos of murder, beheadings, hangings, execution, corpses, torture, suffocation etc. I felt completely sick as I done this but I think that aroused me more.. Afterwards I'd just feel terrible though, and decided to stop looking at that material. It never lasted more than 3 months however then I went back to it because even though I wasn't watching it, I was still thinking about it and also I accepted that fantasizing is not hurting anyone, and hell I would never go out of my way to harm a fly.
Now I'm 17 and I guess what has been troubling me is that I feel as though I am a wolf in sheep's clothing and that I'm lying to everybody, because if they knew what I think about they would hate me and think I'm a sick bastard, which to be fair I probably am, but I'm not a horrible person nor am I dangerous. Is there anyone here who has ever told anyone about their paraphilia? What was their reaction? Or do you think it's best to completely hide these things? I'm scared of getting into a relationship because I would have to tell my partner at least, and I wouldn't blame anyone for being frightened and ending it. Sex would be a big problem as I would really have to hurt them and be hurt and I'm not talking about the kind of sadomasochism in bdsm either, that does nothing for me. Real fear is a major factor. I would also like to make them bleed and drink their blood. I guess another question is does anyone have any advice on living like this, just in general? I always feel bad but I'm not sure I would want to change, maybe it's because I can't think of things being any other way, ahh I don't know.
Any advice or help is truly appreciated, I tried to keep it short and not go into graphic detail as to not disturb anyone lol
