Is it normal to be attracted to villains, both in art and in real life

I am very attracted to Villains in real life and also in art. It started with loving Freddy Kruger as a child and having fantasies about Hannibal Lector. I am not in any way a violent person and I do not agree with vllains doing bad things. I am also very attracted to serial killer Ted Bundy and I am always reading books about him and other true-crime books about serial killers. Is it normal to find villains sexually attractive?

    oh really Peter, are you a bad boy? I am much more attracted to notorious people than so-called normal people.. At least sickos are committed to what they do. I think in most cases, a relationship with a pervert ends in tragedy, they always get what is coming to them sooner or later. That being said, I do not think I could have a relationship with a sicko, I would not want to be around when the shit hits the fan.

    Absolutely normal, I probably wouldn't get any sex at all if I weren't notorious.

    Serial killers tend to be the most interesting characters in the show or movie. Heroism can be boring. I've seen a lot of posts like these where people are always rooting for the villain and I think it's understandable. I believe that it has to do with how unrealistic the heroes usually are and how real and damaged the bad guy is. Take Megamind for example, the dreamworks movie, where pretty much the superhero is Mr. Perfect, and Megamind is just the "bad" guy trying to get a break, in actuality he's just always been the odd man out and could never fit in. That's more relatable that the super popular jock who always gets the girl. Syndrome from the Incredibles is another great example. I think it's just great when a character has good development, and usually there's a lot of room for the villain to do that, than the hero.

      very, very true. Villains are always the most interesting figures in any story because they are catalysts of great change. If the villain did not exist, there would be no heroes because there would be nothing for them to do! I am not attracted to really slimy and monstrous types of villains, but those who have charisma, humor or seem to posses great humanity. That is why I am attracted to Ted Bundy. His humanity may have been a mask, but it was a very convincing one. He was also very intelligent and understood a great deal about psychological behavior, although he refused to take any direct responsibility for his own behavior.

        I actually haven't research Ted Bundy so I don't know too much about him. But he sounds like Joe Carrol from the show "The Following" with Kevin Bacon. That's pretty much exactly who you're describing. If you have the time and haven't seen it, I highly recommend watching the show since it is very good and Joe Carrol is pretty much your (I'm referring to you specifically) ideal "villain." Although shockingly Kevin Bacon's character, the "hero," is himself an interesting character since in his own ways he is flawed, and can even seem more flawed than Carrol's character at times, which really adds to the show's intensity. I just really think you'll like it. So far it's only has the first season, but the second season is coming in January, and it's only 15 episodes for the first season. I just really, really, think you'll like it.
