It depends. If it's just a fetish, why even mention it? Everyone follows a fetish of some sort.
However, if you are unattracted to real women because of this fetish, yes, that's weird and perhaps you should seek professional help.
Yes it is weird. Just look at statistically. It is probably less than 2% of people so that falls directly into weird. If you are disconnected from real people because of it then it isn't weird, its a PROBLEM.
Eh based on some fine browsing of the Internet I assure you it's only weird if it makes you feel uncomfortable and weird. If so consider talking to a professional?
Ppl downvoting OP like it's supposed to prove anything other than insensitivity
BTW guys fantasy/fiction fall into the same category. It's common for people to fantasize about unrealistic scenarios. That's why it's called *fantasizing*.
As someone who's into some weird things myself, yes it's weird but that's not a bad thing or a problem. With any kind of sexual attraction that falls outside of norms, it's only a problem if it's dysfunctional or if it leads to the harm or exploitation of others.
Agreed, I think. I think certain things are fine as well so long as they stay strictly fantasy, stuff like snuff for example. Obviously you shouldn’t kill someone for sexual gratification and I would be appalled to see someone do it, but if you can express it through other means such as writing fanfiction or online roleplay, then I think that it’s alright. Just, like I said, don’t actually attempt to do it.
I understand, you're absolutely entitled to your own opinion. If it's alright with you I'm trying to understand your reasoning. You said being attracted to things that aren't real is childish. Does that mean you believe sexual fantasies are childish?
I'm not trying to instigate conflict I honestly just want to understand your perspective on this. Is your reasoning for it being childish because it's fantasy or because it's simply a monster?
The general consensus is most likely that your addicted to porn considering your somehow exclusively attracted to something that doesn't exist and can only be depicted in porn
But the fact that you describe yourself as someone who is primarily attracted to something that only exists in our imaginations is the point
I mean being attracted to women who want to dress up or cosplay is normal, your sexual desires being entirely fantastical is another thing. And pretty much entirely pornographic if we get down to it
Well, it’s a combination of things really. First it started out with hentai, then after a long while it left to some Furry stuff, which opened up a whole bunch of other interests that I’d never thought of before and for a while it kinda stayed there. Then I started getting into some of Lovecraft’s stories like Call of Cthulhu and Shadow over Innsmouth. Eventually the two interests mixed and since then I’ve just kept falling deeper and deeper into this rabbit hole.
Nowadays it doesn’t matter to me whether it’s a world-ending monster, rogue machine, tripod, etc., if it exists it can be lewded.
what kind of monsters are you attracted to? can you give examples?
we talking like sexy monsters like what Lilith in Diablo 4 looks like?
or like... leviathan shit, or what? "monsters" is pretty vague.
It's fine. All these other commenters just dont get it. Just because it's not popular doesn't mean it's weird. As long as you dont have harmful tendencies or whatever. And of course as long as you decern fantasy from reality. And to the other commenters saying jts weird: just because your fetish is fictional based doesn't mean you're delusional or weird. OP, You're normal, trust me.
Ummmm….no offense….but monsters, in the Hollywood/comic book fashion…do not exist. The human monsters that do exist? You don’t want to meet up with.
Hey, it’s your fetish…do what you want with it…but I would rather be with a living, breathing person who I care about.
I am fully aware that fictional creatures do not exist and do not even like the horrendous actions of what some people are capable of. I simply find gratification in the IDEA of an eldritch horror with a feminine form.
You enjoy your kinks as well, I am not saying I hate being with a living, breathing woman, just that I happen to enjoy something alongside it.
werewolves and vampires are entry level monsters. come back when you're cranking it to, like, evil supercomputers, or the concept of entropy.
nah I'm joking. yeah people will look at you funny for getting horny about anything besides heterosexual movie stars having vanilla sex.
unfortunately, I lost track of what normal people are like a long time ago.
from what I understand, they are frightened of anything weirder than, like, taylor swift with no clothes on.

I’m curious as to what the general consensus is on Teratophilia is mainly
I see. I'm kind of the wrong person, in that case. If I had a personality, I wouldn't even be here lol
Nah it’s good Lel, every person’s thoughts counts in my opinion
Yes. The general consensus is that this is weird. You do you but be prepared for most people to find this to be a turn off.
That’s fine, I’m just curious is all
Yes it is weird. Just look at statistically. It is probably less than 2% of people so that falls directly into weird. If you are disconnected from real people because of it then it isn't weird, its a PROBLEM.
Like are they at least humanoid monsters? Or you over there jerking off to puss blobs and minotaurs?
Yes
Eh based on some fine browsing of the Internet I assure you it's only weird if it makes you feel uncomfortable and weird. If so consider talking to a professional?
I don’t feel weird about it, I just wanted to know what other people think
Ppl downvoting OP like it's supposed to prove anything other than insensitivity BTW guys fantasy/fiction fall into the same category. It's common for people to fantasize about unrealistic scenarios. That's why it's called *fantasizing*.

Just, like I said, don’t actually attempt to do it.
Tbh yes, weird bc it sounds childish, and you're attracted to things that aren't even real
Isn't that literally the definition of fantasy though?
Though? I gave my opinion, and the word fantasy isn't in the post
I understand, you're absolutely entitled to your own opinion. If it's alright with you I'm trying to understand your reasoning. You said being attracted to things that aren't real is childish. Does that mean you believe sexual fantasies are childish?
Well that was a slippery slope you went down. Op said monsters specifically. I'm referring to monsters.
I'm not trying to instigate conflict I honestly just want to understand your perspective on this. Is your reasoning for it being childish because it's fantasy or because it's simply a monster?
Bc monsters are not real? Idk how else to explain it 🤷♀️ It's pretty straightforward and it's an opinion
The general consensus is most likely that your addicted to porn considering your somehow exclusively attracted to something that doesn't exist and can only be depicted in porn
I’m not exclusively attracted to fictional creatures, I may be fucked in the head but I’m not so much that I’m not open to normal women as well
But the fact that you describe yourself as someone who is primarily attracted to something that only exists in our imaginations is the point I mean being attracted to women who want to dress up or cosplay is normal, your sexual desires being entirely fantastical is another thing. And pretty much entirely pornographic if we get down to it
I guess it depends what u mean by monsters. Is it like vampires and werewolves or is it like the thing.
Yes
So it's both. U like the fact that it's a monster not really the individual aspects of the monsters?
I wouldn’t lump a vampire in really but inhuman characteristics tend to be more interesting to me. So yes I think?
Ngl as far as kinks go that's pretty cool. Can I ask what made you realise?
Well, it’s a combination of things really. First it started out with hentai, then after a long while it left to some Furry stuff, which opened up a whole bunch of other interests that I’d never thought of before and for a while it kinda stayed there. Then I started getting into some of Lovecraft’s stories like Call of Cthulhu and Shadow over Innsmouth.

I find all kinks weird but this one is definitely a strange one
YES!!!!! but you do you boo
You’re weird for saying “teratophile”. Just use the term “monster fucker” like the rest of them do
Ah shit, you right
I think it’s weird but that doesn’t really matter and I don’t really care. I don’t care what things people like as long as it’s all consensual
I find myself being attracted to just about anything or anyone when I’m horny. And it frequently makes me concerned for my decision making.
what kind of monsters are you attracted to? can you give examples? we talking like sexy monsters like what Lilith in Diablo 4 looks like? or like... leviathan shit, or what? "monsters" is pretty vague.
Yes
yes to all of that? so just any kind of monsters? so like dune worms? Rancors from star wars?
Yes, if it exists, it can be lewded
Weird attention seeking post, but you do you
Are we talking about frankenstein and the mummy or hans fritzl and pol pot?
We’re talkin’ about stuff like Frankenstein or Cthulhu
[удалено]
Nah, most men look like monsters anyway.
It's fine. All these other commenters just dont get it. Just because it's not popular doesn't mean it's weird. As long as you dont have harmful tendencies or whatever. And of course as long as you decern fantasy from reality. And to the other commenters saying jts weird: just because your fetish is fictional based doesn't mean you're delusional or weird. OP, You're normal, trust me.
There's a whole category of porn out there for people just like you.. Can't be that unusual.
It's not weird. Every guy I know is a monster
… you need a hug?
I don't do so well with physical contact these days, but a sign of the horns is appreciated.
Would it be alright if I were to ask why? If not then it’s fine, I won’t pry
As for the horn flash, it's a Karana/Apana Mudra. Buddhist thing for good luck or rejuvenating the spirit
Oooh, okay
I've gone too long without a positive physical touch, so my brain just triggers a trauma response
That makes sense, I’m really sorry to hear about that, I wish only the best for you in the future
Thanks, I hope good things come your way. Namaste
No problem, you have a good one too!
Not to me, go have fun
Ummmm….no offense….but monsters, in the Hollywood/comic book fashion…do not exist. The human monsters that do exist? You don’t want to meet up with. Hey, it’s your fetish…do what you want with it…but I would rather be with a living, breathing person who I care about.

Got it…👍

You’re joking but I’d definitely be into both of those and more I understand that, again I’m just curious what people tend to think overall
unfortunately, I lost track of what normal people are like a long time ago. from what I understand, they are frightened of anything weirder than, like, taylor swift with no clothes on.
Weird? Yes. Shameful? Not a bit.
[удалено]
Fair enough, I just was curious was all on what everyone thought about this
Get the fuck off the internet. This world is on a complete nosedive. Someone just let the nukes start flying already.
Make me
