Fetish Friday: Hybristophilia

So this week was a bit hectic, what with cinco de Mayo and all (I actually have an amazing picture about that, that I will post later). Unfortunately, I had a little bit too much to drink on Sunday and got too out of control. The boyfriend and I have an agreement that we're allowed to kiss other people as long as it's just kissing. However, on Sunday, I did push my luck.

There is one promoter from a club downtown that I would flirt with, and on Cinco, I got very drunk and acted inappropriately with him. I have since apologized to my boyfriend, who is absolutely the most understanding man I could ever be with, and cut off communication with the promoter.

Then I started to wonder: What is it with bad boys? I always had a soft spot for them in high school, and definitely got it out of my system this time, but why do we chase them in the first place? Most girls, and a lot of guys, will always have an attraction for the wrong person. So this leads me to today's fetish.

*Btw, the boyfriend and I are fine :) You fuck up, you apologize, you move on.

Today's Fetish: Hybristophilia

Hybristophilia, also known as "Bonnie and Clyde Syndrome", is the sexual attraction to criminals; and I don't mean petty crimes like pick-pocketing or shop lifting, I mean rape, murder, or armed robbery.

There are two kind of hybristophiliacs:

1. Passive: Also known as SKG (serial killer groupies), these hybristophiliacs are often times delusional and easily manipulated. They do not participate in their lover's crimes, opting instead to write them love letters, make excuses for their crimes, and hold on to the hope that their love can change them. These poor saps have rescue fantasies and often end up in abusive and dangerous relationships that lead to murder.
2. Aggressive: Now these kooks are the complete opposite. In an attempt to gain the criminals' trust and love, they will assist in crimes such as hiding bodies, beating, luring, or providing alibis. They become criminals themselves and are incredibly dangerous since they try even harder to prove themselves worthy.

Despite all the articles questioning or studying the topic, it isn't clearly known what leads hybristophiliacs to fall in love with these people, but there are theories:

• They mistake overly-violent and aggressive criminals as alpha males. Obviously the right person to continue the human species with.
• They are submissive and seek thrills.
• They are closeted murderers, that enjoy living vicariously through these people.
• They are religious nuts who can't get enough of that Cool-aid.

Since Bonnie and Clyde, there has been a lot of interest and media coverage about hybristophilia, through fiction and true events. Examples of hybristophilia in fiction are:

• The show, The Good Wife features an episode titled "Hybristophilia", about a woman who died stalking a serial killer.
• The Following is a new show on Fox, starring Kevin Bacon, about an imprisoned serial killer who has both male and female groupies.
• Harley Quinn and Joker, anyone?
• CSI featured the character, Nate Haskell, in 9 episodes who had groupies called "Nate's brides".

Well, what about real life? There can't actually be that many examples right? Wrong, never underestimate how bat-shit crazy some women are:

• Josef Fritzl imprisoned and raped his daughter for 24 years.
• Crazy bitch count: 100s of letters following his arrest.
• Charles Manson inspired a group of dirty hippies to murder several families in Los Angeles in one of the most gruesome massacres of our time.
• Crazy bitch count: We all know about his kooky groupies.
• Ted Bundy, one of the most charming serial killers known in the media, was a serial killer, necrophiliac, rapist and kidnapper.
• Crazy bitch count: He had scores of women come support him at his trials and after he was incarcerated, their obsession with with him just kept growing. He received hundreds of letters a day from adoring fans.
• Richard Ramirez was a serial killer currently on death row.
• Crazy bitch count: Dozens of women came to see him at his trial. One lucky groupie, after writing him over 75 letters, finally got to marry Mr. Ramirez. Who says true love can't prevail?
• Jeffrey Dahmer, serial killer and sex offender.
• Crazy bitch count: Dozens of women would send him letters, money and gifts. It's not about quantity, it's about quality as Mr. Dahmer knows.
• Scott Peterson murdered his wife and their unborn child in the 90s.
• Crazy bitch count: He's had countless women over the years write to him in support and adoration.
• Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev were responsible for the 2013 Boston bombings.
• Crazy bitch count: Apparently the hashtag #FreeJahar is incredibly popular among teenage girls on Twitter...really, ladies????

As weird as this fetish sounds, it is very real, and in most cases extremely dangerous. So instead of going for that mass murderer or child rapist, may I suggest a fun alternative?

Isn't that better than 25 to life? the outfits are cuter and conjugal visits can go for as long as you want. Now, go get your kink on!

Here, because women aren't the only ones looking to get it on with an inmate.

What Fetish Friday would be complete without a Tumblr link?

Finally, here's a blog, Facebook page, forum, video, and porn site to quench your kinky self.

P.S. I've never fallen in love with a criminal before, but hot damn.
