I'm really aroused by blood: are the things i do normal?

61% Normal
45 Comments

I'm 18 years old and a virgin: I've found it hard to find a boy I really liked because a) I only like them really, really intelligent and b) I'm worried that they'll find my turn-ons off-putting. I study English Lit. and I've always loved the Gothic; when I was a kid, even, I found blood and death etc really interesting and exciting. I love the smell, and the feel, and the sight of all kinds of blood, and even get turned on my things that look like blood, like red nail varnish dripping into the bottle. I should point out at this point that this is not a Twilight-related issue: I am in no way a fan. So, for example, last night I watched Bram Stoker's Dracula in my room, and I was reading Polidori's 'The Vampyre', and I just impulsively went and got one of my beloved Gothic textbooks and got some of my menstrual blood on a tissue (sorry, tmi!) and dripped it onto one of the pages. Then I used my nails to drag it into the shape of a crucifix and licked the page. As I say, this was impulsive- at the time, it didn't even feel like a weird thing to do, but I know that it must be. I have never self-harmed to get blood, because that's always seemed a bit lame and needy, so I just use incidental blood, as I did last night with my period or as I might do if I hurt myself by accident. A couple of weeks back I came off my bicycle in an ally on my way home from work and cut my arm up really bad, and when I got home I had a bath and just lay there in the bloody water because it felt amazing. I think I must be like this because of all the books I read as a child and things like that, but I do wonder whether anybody else has similar turn-ons. I should point out that I'm not an emo or anything like that, if anything I'm more of a standard book-nerd, and none of my friends have any idea that this is what I'm into. That's why I'm worried about telling boys what I like, because it's so surprising in contrast to my public image. Thanks for stopping by to help!!

    I enjoy blood, too.
    I used to cut myself to see it, then put it over my face. I stopped when I realized I was making scars, which I do not want.

    I like blood because of its colour and how thick it can be.

    Personally, I think using your period for it is gross, it just seems rude-like. Blood from a cut is better to look at.

      Your comment turned me on, I have a fetish with blood..or an obsession. I actually have a torture fetish too, but with actually hurting people, cutting them, sucking their cuts dry, etc.. Actually when I think about it think about torturing/killing people a lot. Maybe I have a problem too..well that comment escalated quickly.

          At least I'm not the only one, I don't think it's a bad thing though, I wish it wasn't so taboo to everyone around me, that way I could finally be openly expressive of my urges and feelings, my way of thinking

            I understand why people dislike it, it's not hard to understand.

            I don't tell people in my life about it anway. I don't really care what they'd think about it, they don't need to know.

      So when you had that bloody profile pic... was that actually your blood?

      I find this oddly arousing and I don't know why.

        Yes, it was. It actually makes your face pretty smooth aswell.

        I find blood quite arousing aswell.

          I think you may have just helped me discover something new about myself. :P

          Haha, blood facial. Someone should open a goth themed spa and offer those.

            Glad to be of service.

            That would actually be pretty interesting. Despite myself not being goth, I would go there quite often if they done that. Not for the spa, but for the whole blood thing.

    I think you have a sexual paraphilia for blood.

    Whether your interest in blood came from the books you read, or you read the books because of your interest in blood isn't clear from what you've written here. But you clearly associate blood with sex.

    It's not the most common paraphilia in the world, but I've come across it plenty of times before. I've even found the sight of blood in certain contexts and at certain times a turn-on.

    You might struggle to find somebody with your sexual interest in blood outside of the gothic subculture, since it's otherwise pretty taboo. Perhaps if you put yourself on a dating website like OKCupid you'd have a better chance? Just make sure you avoid prospective partners that may want to eat you (in the bad way, not in the good way).

    I think its normal. Every 16th or 17th i go to my best friends restroom and sneak out one of her dirty kotex pads and suck out the blood until its white at home. Its such a turn on. She doesn't know. I also like to sniff her dirty panties when she's not home she gave me a key. Everyone as their fetish.

    Hematolagnia (Blood fetishism)

    I've noticed over some years a lot of people are 'Hematolagnians', and more and more people are opening up about it.

    My infatuation with menstrual sex at a young age lead me to some research, and one of the best gifts / turn-ons, ever offered to me, was sex in an animal blood-bath... It never happened for many health reasons.

    But to answer: this is normal.
    However being this open about it and honesty, being one of "the things you do", is a not normal and a rarity.

    It would be great if people were more like you.

    I also am turned on by blood and I'm studying medicine so whenever we look at blood samples I get aroused and I've spoken to my girlfriend about this before and she suggested that if where to have oral sex with her on her period then my urge for blood won't be as bad so for you I know you probably don't like it and neither do I watching bloody porn

    I thought I was the only one. I'm really into blood and BDSM, like REALLY into it. You're fine and I don't think anyone can really be classified as "normal", everyone is different. I'm also a nerd and find watching True Blood and Saw a HUGE turn on, Just all the blood, trashing and pain just thrills me. I also find it hard to find a companion because of what I'm into. Always be true to yourself though, or else you won't ever be happy.

    Well I wouldn't call it normal, but it sounds to me like this thing people have where they just love blood, they cover themselves in it, eat it and all kinds of discusting stuff. A tribe in India does it and some people are just like that

    With my ex I had sex during her period once and for some strange reason when my dick came out covered in her blood I was extremely aroused. I like a girl's body fluids but have a marked preference for urine above the rest.

        I love blood and death stuffs a lot too! They are most available on horror books and movies. Watch The Inside, and The Chain Saw Massacre.

        I also love watching bloody wrestling matches. Though WWE is PG now it featured extremely bloody matches, in the late 90s, such as Undertaker vs Mankind, Rock vs Mankind, Austin vs Hart and the most bloodiest of the 2000s HHH vs HBK. I even had a bloody brawl with a mugger.

        Infact when I was a kid, I would drink small amount of blood on my wounds (minor ones). When it comes to sex, I love the blood from a virgin's pussy and asshole! I am only attracted to virgins too.

    "Ahhh, hear the creatures of the night. What music they make!"...Bram Stoker's Dracula. I read this is 6th grade and nobody could get me to talk to them until I finished the book.

    I love blood. It seems like the life force and vitality of humans. This is universal, I believe. I don't like cutting myself because you only get one body and I can't see damaging it. I know people who have a blood fetish. It's not so rare.

      Nothing sad about it. I had no emotional reason for it, I just liked seeing the blood from it. Wasn't a very healthy way of doing it, but no negative emotions were the reason for it, so don't feel sad.

      You're welcome.
