Well, yeah. I've been working on accepting my paraphilias/fetishes. I said that sadism was the hardest part to accept, due to the highly immoral and mean fantasies I have. Here I am, I'm accepting it. There is no point in hating myself for the fantasies I have. They're just fantasies, and I'm beginning to write them down. They don't scare me anymore and I can control them. I got more and more sadist, but it's not freaking me out. I went further with my fantasies....
*WARNING, graphic description, do not highlight the text below if you feel like you might be triggered/disturbed by sadistic fantasies*
I actually feel excited and extremely aroused fantasizing about thinking of A. (13 year old girl I am attracted to) laying unconscious and consuming her blood, basically I picture myself taking her blood while she's about to die, and deflowering her after death, all in a typical sadistic way. Not going to add more. Just so you know that this is the meanest fantasy I've ever had so far but I'm accepting it and even wrote some kind of poem about it
But I'm accepting myself. I know I am an a**hole for my fantasies of course, but it's just all in my head, it's just fantasies. Thinking about those things in real life makes me sick. I would never hurt someone in real life, I'll never stop repeating this to others and to myself.
So now I am feeling better in my life because of that. Of course my paraphilias create me problems and will forever, because it's hard having such fantasies and knowing you can't just act on them. Especially for us sexual sadists, violent fantasies can be a challenge, it's a battle we need to win.
A list of my paraphilias/fetishes for those who don't know
Pedophilia
Sexual sadism (not BDSM!) + Biastophilia (not sure if this can be included in sadism though, or if it's a separate thing, but I put them together as in my case they're closely related)
Hematolagnia (aka blood fetish) - not always sexual though
Syringe and drug fetish
I accepted them, I acknowledge I can't change them nor fight against them, I can only fight to keep them in my head without acting out. An invite to you all: you can accept yourself as it makes you feel better, but NEVER act on your fantasies if they're illegal and/or could harm someone. Accepting yourself does not mean you will be allowed to act on your fantasies.
