Is it normal that i enjoy the thought of harming people?

Small disclaimer here: I don’t have any real intention of hurting anyone, these are just thoughts.
Sometimes I have the thought of stabbing or otherwise hurting or killing or even torturing somebody. This isn’t anyone in particular, just anybody. The idea gives me a rush similar to the tug in your gut you get when you’re falling on a rollercoaster, but better and not necessarily negative. I don’t want to describe it in detail unless I’m asked.
I have no idea if any of this is necessarily sexual. I’m not sure if I would be into BDSM, and a lot of these fantasies involve a lack of consent (as in I’m not gonna ask someone before I punch them, y’know?). Moreover the thought of hurting animals doesn’t appeal to me, but sometimes I get a rush from killing insects. I don’t know man.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? Could this be a sexual thing? Is this even remotely normal? Lemme know. Thanks!

  • I fantasize about hurting liberals. So long as you're just thinking of liberals, it's totally normal.

  • I suspect the desire is sexually rooted in some way even though it may not seem that way to you. It's hard to believe it's not sexual sadism in some capacity, which is a desire hard to satisfy especially if non consent is part of the appeal. Try to diminish these thoughts and experiment with sexual sadism with consent.
