I enjoy reading guro and ero-guro manga, but it doesn't arouse me. I just like reading it :>

Any recommendations ~?

That's the worst...

Subtle things like that picture bother me a lot more than explicitly seeing a person get dismembered or raped by a chainsaw. Either way, it makes me feel extremely nauseated. If I go into it with the right mindset I can bear the ordeal of watching something bloody or gory, so I don't completely avoid those things. Ero-guro is different, I will avoid those things and can never be prepared to endure it, it makes me sick no matter what.

Really not my cup of tea. But then there are a lot of genres in anime that I don't like, so its not like I have any particular aversion to it. There's a lot of stuff I like which has tons of blood and gore in it, but guro just seems stupid to me.

Well, guro would be useful if I ever needed to lose weight, because it makes me completely lose my appetite. I should save that picture in case I ever get fat, lol.

I can usually stomach it but it does unnerve me. The only reason why I'd watch a guro anime is probably for the story. I actually played Saya no Uta last weekend and almost felt like puking, but the story was amazing.

Okay, I know this could be a firestarter, but why is murder/torture themed guro totally cool but rape themed guro, not at all?

Is it just that it's a simply more sensitive topic or what?

It's like the reason most of the population thinks murder/torture jokes are better to tell than rape jokes. (I think they're both rude but whatever)

Rape happens to mainly females and is mainly done by males (not all cases but definitely a disporportionate amount) so it's sexist to tell them. There are other reasons those kinds of jokes are wrong but the reasons only apply to jokes so it's really irrelevant to guro...anyways rape guro can be seen as sexist, murder guro happens to basically anyone and yeah the majority I've seen is to females but it's not inherently sexual so... violence isn't too bad, you can make a rather violent movie and get away with a pg13 rating, but a sex scene that shows genitals for any amount of time will get you an nc17. It's a sex and gender thing most likely.

Gore and blood is fine when well placed but I am not fond of the Guro genre where gore for gore sake, it just makes me feel cringe especially if its ero-guro.

Yeah I love guro, even ero-guro. Snuff and blood is a fetish of mine, gore is also something artists can do super creative things with in their art. That's just something I can't understand turning away from and saying "that's gross". Maybe it's gross but this artist put so much time to make this creative pic, turning away because a boy's intestines are falling out as his friend eats them. I don't know. Real gore isn't my thing per se, but guro (which is illustrated) is as great as any art really, and more visceral in many cases. It is just interesting.


Isn't snuff meaning REAL gore/deaths? (pardon my accusation that follows if I'm incorrect on what snuff is) ...... That's where I draw the line on being open minded. It is in no way cool to see someone actually die. I have a friend who watches that stuff because death interests her, but she sure as fuck to my knowledge doesn't get off on it.

I'm personally not in anyway a gore, it took me years to even be able to watch a movie with blood in it (Mulan made me leave the theater for a minute as a child and Brothers Grimm where the kitten dies and the gingerbread man part scarred me for life) but I was able to work my way up and over come some of my fear to watch Sweeney Todd because the story fascinated and was important to me (wrote my college essay on it too).
All that being said, I have a fetish for small amounts of blood, like a cut here or there or a bite with blood in drawings can be intriguing to see. I don't mind it in a sexual context either, but when it goes far enough to hit the appendages coming off or disembowelment, and especially beheading (just here, have all of my nope) it starts hitting that NO territory for me.

Because of my fear, I'm at the same time fascinated by why people like it and why it exists. Considering most humans are terrified of death, there seems to be a ton that love horror, gore, macabre in both drawings, movies, stories and even real stuff (though, I'd honestly stay away from people who either get off to the real thing or try to recreate it in real life, for obvious reasons)

From a psychological standpoint, and as really with any fetish, from liking light biting or leather to liking inflation and scat, it's really about that it's taboo and humans love taboo. I honestly think it's probably healthier to admit a fascination or fetish that could be construed a host of unpleasant ways then hide it. It's part of you and from what I learned in psychology, most if not all fetishes develop in childhood and it's really hard to change them.

One other thing I learned as well is that it's probably all a coping mechanism with your fears. This explains a lot as to why anyone would be into something humans are evolutionarily designed to fear, such as horror, gore and anything disgusting (bugs, scat, guts) I personally don't deal well with my fear and so instead of either being able to shrug it off when seeing it and just putting on a frowny face or even being able to enjoy it for the adrenaline rush, I instead cry and run away. A bit of a personal note here, I also have a mental (illness, disorder, condition, I don't really know what it's classified as) called obsessive thoughts, meaning I get intrusive (unwanted) thoughts some times that usually have to do with me harming others in horrible ways or people including myself being harmed and dying. These terrify me to no end and it's probably another reason I can't deal with gore very well and in my case, it's kinda imperative that I come to terms with it instead of fearing it the way I do. It's probably the reason I'm fascinated and terrified of say surgical or medical pictures/drawings/characters or even find the doctor/hospital thing attractive. I'm terrified of surgery so I develop this weird fascination to it.

I'd like to say to that any thing humans do/like/are fascinated with are probably just a random blip or change in mental wiring meaning, it in no way improves our survival chances and is evolutionarily speaking, completely useless. I honestly don't care, so long as people aren't harming others mentally/physically against their will, it's not anyone's business to judge what people like I think, as hard as it is for me to understand some fetishes (even more then guro, I don't get the inflation or vore fetishes at all.)

Sorry for a lot of jabber on my part. It's both a personal thing and an interesting one for me, so I felt like sharing my views/experiences.

Yes, I like guro quite a lot. The thing is, I think I like it more for the gross-out, happily disgusting factor than the erotic factor. What I really enjoy with it is thinking about how other people see it as atrocious and horrifying, and how strange I am for absolutely loving it.

I have a couple friends that are into this sort of thing, but they only like certain things. For example, Kim won't like it if there's no blood in it, or Artemis won't like if no one's being tied up, or Brendan won't like it if no one's getting eaten. I like everything, really, except for scat and stuff. Gross. owo;

Britt: I like gore and I like hentai, but when they're mixed together I'm sorry but I have to draw the line there. I read "Mai-Chan's Daily Life" last night, and that horrible manga literally gave me a stomachache, and I felt nauseous afterwards. Not reading any more stories made by Waita Uziga. That was a horrible experience. I'm just gonna stick to having gore and hentai be 2 different things. Cause when they're in the same place, I cannot handle it.

Yup, it's the similar feeling when looking at a car accident. You can't look away, you're terrified by the result, but you can't help but look.. For me, Guro gives it to you anyway which is why I'm not shocked by it, plus I'm fascinated by the art style that made it, but it doesn't take away from the fact the result of that art is horrific. It's how it was made, that makes me like Guro a lot.

I also like gore that has context and reason, since it adds to that horror which the manga aims to do, I'm fond of the feeling of empathy on the character being tortured or hurt, since while it's a disturbing feeling, that's what makes horror effective because you feel that character's pain both visually and figuratively.

In other words, I'm not a fan of gore on characters I don't care about. Sure, I will feel uncomfortable but that's ero guro is all about. The hopelessness.

Same, actually that's pretty much what I say about horror in my profile. It can be a powerful art resource when used with meaning and impact, as well as context and reason, but as pure entertainment, nah, I'm not that sadistic (plus some stuff are just too uncomfortable and nauseating if you have enough empathy).

Sure, I might laugh and have fun with ridiculously bad and exaggerated gore, but that's not exactly a positive feeling that makes me wanna read it again.

I love guro, but I have very specific themes in guro that make me enjoy it greatly such as rope bondage and dismemberment. Though it doesn't bother me all that much, I'm not a fan of scat in guro and seeing it will turn me off immediately.

I also enjoy ryona.

No. You've got to be some sort of psychopath to be aroused by sliced up organs and blood no cap. At the very least I can tolerate foot-fetishists even if I find it gross - guro lovers are a different bucket of fish.

Yeah I like it a lot, I'm not exactly sure why other than around the time I began looking at guro I was going through a lot of self harm thoughts and coped with looking at guro doujins and art. I also really love dark/horror things in general too so that might effect it lol.
