I think this is a really thoughtful and insightful post. Hard to have "disclosure" since the fetish is likely to attract hostile responses. As far as what turns one on goes, simple operant conditioning might have a lot to do with it. Simple arousal is probably a powerful initial reinforcer, so imagine a scenario combining a more or less normal stimulus, like, for a guy an attractive nude or seminude woman and a component of violence, like strangulation, shooting, stabbing, which would have an arousal factor of its own, as shock or heightened interest and attention, and you've quickly got a death fetish link. A bit more of that, and the link is solid, probably as a result of masturbation to orgasm with a fantasy combining sexual elements with some sort of violence. Depends on initial exposure, I guess, but it quickly becomes self-reinforcing and even generalizes. I'm surprised that sort of things isn't more common.
