Pyromania or just an enjoyment of fire?

I am not sure if I have pyromania or just an enjoyment of fire. I enjoy lighting fires and fireworks and like seeing things burn. I enjoy fireworks - both lighting and watching. I feel excitement when preparing the fire. I sometimes burn my trash and old notebooks. All of this takes place in a fire pit in our backyard. However, I only light fires with permission or necessity and only enjoy fires I can control. I'm 13, and male. Is this pyromania or just an enjoyment of fire?

pyromania is when people get the impulse to start fires thay dont ask for permission to do it thay just do it regladless if thay could kill someone and thay dont care about weather thay can be controlled or not. i would say you enjoy fire

i to love lighting fires and watching them burn

around age 7 i began lighting fires around my small town mostly out of boredom. In a way it was an excercise in control, being able to extinguish it at any point - and also defiance of authority.

But not in a sexual way.

Presently i would rather burn propane in my shack in the woods (if i could afford it) rather that dick around with wood fires in the stove even.

I like to burn stuff too but only small stuff like leaves and paper. Sometimes I hold it and burn it with my lighter when I'm upset and it calms me down. Then I put it out. I don't like large fires, don't think I'm a pyromaniac.
