Imprinting: The Phenomenon Continues!

[Bluestone]

Yes, I am convinced that we've all been imprinted at an early age, resulting in us being sexually excited by scenes of violence towards women... not real violence, of course, but cinematic violence, where the women are always gorgeous and desirable, and their deaths are more sexy than realistic. Most of the older members were imprinted by seeing such deadskirt scenes in movies and on television, but currently a lot of the imprinting is taking place through gaming programs where the player has input into how the game plays out. Not everyone will agree with me, but I'm certainly convinced and can trace my own death fetish feelings back to some early deadskirt scenes from movies that were replayed on TV. I'm sure a lot of other members can do likewise. If you don't agree that there was a cinematic influence for your death fetish, then why do cinematic death scenes do it for you? What is your favourite death scene, and why is it your favourite?

Well first of I completely agree on the imprinting, certainly know the films and tv I watched since before I can remember are to thank (or blame depending on how people look at it ) for my interest in and love of cinematic deaths. Not sure of any one influense but the Bond films certainly come to mind, was fully versed in every Bond film that had been made up to that point when i was 8 years old and many deaths there and ladies of course tickle me specially.

Now for me, my all time favorite death scene is Rosamund Pike's glorious death in Die another day. Why, well for a number of reasons, the way its filmed and the ample views of her gorgeous body and perfect death stare sure are part of it, as is her amazing outfit and wonderful character and the whole build up and payoff feel and even that little sprinkle of tragedy in it cause we can't all help but love her so no matter how bad she was.

But it being Rosamund in the scene is huge as she is one of my all time most favorite actress, a magnificent godess I've worshipped ever since that film came out and dazzles me in everything and always. To me the actress matters more than the scene, for a scene to be truly impactful and special to me, it has to include an actress I am really taken by and affects me in that special way. I think scenes that are at best decent are usually ten times as powerful and special when they involve those actresses than the most perfect scene with someone I have no special opinion of or attachment to. So to me all my favorite scenes are the ones that involve my favorites and then the better the actual scene is, the happier I am.

The actress worship aspect also sadly sets me up for great disappointments cause when its an actress I adore and everything is set up so right and then they fuck it up by blowing her up or doing it off-screen or having no proper view of her body and it just stings my heart.

I think I was imprinted by cartoons, which never really depicted death (though there was the highly suggestive KO now and again), but routinely placed the sexy heroines in life-threatening peril.

There are a few actresses with with I have been sexually enamored, but, mostly, my fetish has been dictated by the character and manner of dress.

[G-Man]

This is a tough one for me, for over the years I thought about it.
I know I was pretty young (6 ~ 8) and seen a death scene on an old movie on T.V.
This was back around 58 or 59, also back then I remember playing with deck of cards and playing some kind of war game with'em.
And very much remember I always try to save (kill off) the queens for last.
Funny but then and now... when ever I see or hear about real stuff... I cringe.
My wife even comments (yes she mostly knows about my fetish) on it by saying...
"I don't understand you... you watch all that killing women / blood & gore stuff but you cringe at any of the real thing."
TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, I can usually watch any violent crime or horror movie and usually doesn't phase me a bit.
I guess my inner brain is hardwired into knowing it is fake.
But seeing anybody hurt (male or female) for real, really upsets me.
GO FIGURE??? (but I am also very glad it is not the other way around!!! )

Well, I can't stand any real-life violence, especially when it's directed against poor defenceless animals. Go figure...

[Indrid Cold]

Real violence is motivated by anger, hatred and fear. Since, for most of us, our fetish has nothing to do with anger, hatred and fear, but everything to do with the eroticism of the feminine form, it is only natural that we are repulsed by actual violence.

I also went the TV route and for some reason got stimulated seeing dames die in a move or program when I was about 9 or 10. But it didn't turn into a sexual thing until I was 12. As for the blood and guts thing, me too. Only the fake stuff.

Imprinting

I don't think so.

Sexuality was a taboo for many centuries (even in Europe and even in Japan), sexual pleasure come from the destruction, like energy coming from matter after a shock or destruction, the humans like us know about it from the beginning, but the truth of "sexuality" was too hard for their minds therefore they created a "schizophrenic phenomenon": the "LOVE" with "COMPASSION", in fact from the beginning the sexuality was only used for reproduction, the "pleasure side" was forbidden or set aside, the LOVE with the sexuality never existed, we can have a real compassion for a woman or a man or even an animal but it is not love it is only compassion. The dark side of the sexuality created this schizophrenia in humans minds.

In the history the humans (us) used many times schizophrenia to evolve our civilization like the religions (coming from spiritualism) or ideologies, schizophrenia is used to balance our spirits when there are unbalances or disturbances, the disturbances and the unbalances come with the evolution of humanity, many disturbances can create finally a destruction, and yes we need all times balance in our spirits to evolve especially in our times where there are many dangerous disturbances that can create destructions.

For me it's a natural cause not an "Imprinting Phenomenon", the "Imprinting Phenomenon" like you are saying is coming from the new society where the sexuality is more and more liberalizing.

And the bluestone production is doing a nice job to us for balancing our spirits and sexual wishes, don't forget it !

What imprinting? I've always been into death and extreme violence, plus I hate all women.

Okay, kidding aside, I have a problem with the imprinting theory. As I understand it imprinting happens with ducks as soon as they hatch and with humans before the age of five. Though my personal contradictory experience is with a whacky adopted pet duck who, years after he had been hatched, became strongly bonded to one of my sons and a cat to whom he was apparently unrelated. I only came to recognize my personal fetish in late adolescence though pre-code jungle girl and horror comic books.

I don't know for certain what caused it, or how much of it is instilled or in ate. I haven't given a shit in years, either. All I know is that it has provided me with a lot of fun throughout my life. It's one of the few things left I still enjoy.

[Algenon5]

I agree. Who cares? I certainly don't.

[Bluestone]

I agree. Who cares? I certainly don't.

...but isn't it important that we have a reason to explain why we have these feelings, in case a loved one finds out about our fetish? Or is it okay for them to just think that we're bent with no reason for it at all? Yes, I enjoy the fetish too. It gives me great pleasure, and, believe me, it has allowed me to meet some gorgeous women and become good friends with them. The Bluestone Mansion is indeed a fun and erotic place to hang out... but I think it's a natural human need to want to know... why?

[Indrid Cold]

I don't have any loved ones left.

It may be human nature, but I find myself going against human nature, more and more, the older I grow.

What does it matter? To me, there are infinitely more interesting questions that need answered. Furthermore, it's more or less been answered already, as sex and death are inextricably linked in the human psyche.

[Algenon5]

Blue, I don't believe the origins of our basic natures can be discovered through introspection or soul searching. Can a hetero person discover or explain why they are hetero? Can gay or lesbian persons do the same? No. We're wired the way we're wired, and that's it. This is a good enough explanation for me until someone comes up with a better one, which I don't expect will happen anytime soon.

I'm much too old to give a fig about what others think of me. Everyone is at liberty to take me as I am, or not. In the words of Popeye the magnificent, "I am what I am, and that's all what I am."

As far as I am concerned, the less "normal" I am in this sick world, the better.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
