Is it normal to get turned on by tornadoes?

I'm a girl, 23. And I am turned on by tornadoes. And no, I'm not joking >m< It started a couple weeks ago after a night of no sleep, and I was watching a video about scary stuff, and one of the clips showed a tornado wrecking someone's house. Well that clip must have really affected me because I replayed it over and over, imagining what it must be like (honestly that is my worst nightmare.) But because I didn't really know anything about tornadoes before, I guess this really piqued my interest and I began watching more and more videos of tornadoes. Of them forming, destroying stuff, or just being there minding their own business. But what started out initially as like, a morbid curiosity kind of thing, turned into... something else. I recently began getting turned on by watching videos of tornadoes. The way they come down to the ground, the shape, the fast swirling and rotation, the power and force, the buildup and anticipation of watching one approach, and then the burst of chaotic energy (from close-up footage), it's orgasmic to me. And yes, I'm ashamed to admit, but I have... touched myself while watching. Am I weird or what? What is wrong with me! I feel so bad for anyone who loses their lives or their homes in a tornado, and I couldn't imagine it happening to me, but at the same time, I can't help this feeling I get from thinking or watching the videos. I should also mention I am autistic and I have had intense obsessions and fixations on things that have scared me before, I guess to try and learn more about them and make them more familiar so ergo less scary, but never have I had this before. I sometimes imagine scenarios where I get sucked up into the tornado, or it comes and destroys my house and everything I own. ?_? Am I the only one who feels this way? I'd love to see one one day from a safe distance and where I knew everything would be okay. So I guess my question is, is it normal?

    I suspect a Freudian psychologist would leap to an immediate conclusion about why you find looking at a powerful, throbbing cylindrical object arousing. 😏

    Seriously, though, sexual arousal is a very weird thing, and you might find the Wikipedia article on Misattribution of arousal interesting.

    I understand that the mores of the 1940s meant it wasn't talked about openly very much at the time, but I recall reading somewhere that some people claim the sexual revolution in Britain didn't start in the sixties as most people think, but during the German bombing campaign against London during WWII. Partly, that was due to a lot of young adults being separated from the families that would normally have limited their sexual activities, but it does seem that the constant air of danger and threat did make women more willing to have what would now be termed hookups.

    In other words, fear can act as an aphrodisiac.

    I also recall reading that the biochemical reactions in the brain for stress and sexual arousal are similar in some ways, and some of the same hormones are involved.

    The “build up” and “burst of chaotic energy” sounds like a metaphor for orgasm.

    Some people are aroused by powerful things that are not meant to have a sexual element to them, they just find it pleasantly overwhelming. Sadly I can’t think of an example off the top of my head but I’ve certainly heard people chuckle as they bashfully admit that they find such displays of force a bit erotic.

      Yup! Watch any videos of tornadoes close up and you'll see what I mean; I have a whole playlist saved.
      Although, I do feel bad because I like watching them destroy stuff and I feel bad for the people at the same time :(

    It’s normal to be turned on by destruction and chaos. I fantasise about a guy slitting my throat as he fucks me.

    I'm sure you'd find Credence from Fantastic Beasts a turn on too.

    As someone who lives in middle america I can't say that I don't understand. There are farm towns only a few hours from where I live that have been completely ravaged; whole stockyards full of cows just wiped out of existence by that big, beautiful cyclone. Sometimes I get chills thinking about not only the size and scale of tornadoes, but also the sheer force and power they have plowing through all that wet juicy beef. Tornadoes are cool

      Yeah they are super cool BD In fact a couple days ago I was so excited cause I live in the UK and we've been having a storm this past week and yesterday my mum mentioned we are on tornado watch (in our area) because of the storm so I was like "WOAH! I'd love to see one!" (Needless to say they were like O.O) But yeah, I didn't see any though, though that day there was like, this constant wind it almost seemed like something from one of the videos I watched, and also in fact even today it would go from being really windy to rain and the sky looking really stormy. xD I really want to see one someday! xd

    Oh yeah if you're wondering why some replies are posted twice it's because I had to make another account because for some reason I got marked as underage. So my comments and posts weren't showing so I had to make a new account just to post this question. But yeah me and Tornadogirl are the same person.
