    i have never understood this, like my brother has three dogs, and they're lovely but even thinking about trying to fuck them grosses me the fuck out on many levels.

    how are these people even made?

      It’s the same reason serial killers do horrific things because of some trauma. Like no dog, beheading your mom ain’t gonna solve your intimacy problems. They just take out their anger, hatred, or hunger for power on weak things

      Same as everybody else, really. Brain is complicated, and each and every one of us have their quirks - it's just that they are normally more simple and innocent.

      Some people get born with paraphilias (i.e. zoo-, pedo-, necrophilia, nonconsensual sadism, exhibitionism etc.) and develop them naturally as teens, some others get something broken as a result of a traumatic experience. Science doesn't currently know exact mechanisms, except that it can be both natural and a result of trauma.

      Now, the real question is - what factors should be combined with this to make people actually behave like that. Sleeping with kids/animals/dead people etc. is harmful and immoral, and they probably know it, too. Why do they do it anyway, and to what lenghts to they go to convince themselves it's worth it?
