what does it mean when a person is attracted to people who are physically/sexually violent and say things that make it seem like the person who was hurt is imagining things or is not sane? it's like a turn-on, for whatever reason.

Hmm, masochist tendencies? Maybe, maybe not, but maybe self-worth, self-esteem issues... trying to heal something from the past?

Pianoguy 100% agrees with itwinflame! This sounds like an issue stemming from something that occurred in your past? .

Perhaps I'm a little naive, but getting "turned on" by a person who wants to beat the crap out of me (in a relationship) only makes me want to throw-up! While I'm sure a woman who is wearing black tights and holding a whip can make quite an impression...doesn't waking up and discovering that you possess a bruised body (and an abused head) seems like a contradicition?

Especially when there are thousands of S.O's out there who would rather 'make love and not war' without resorting to sado-machism? Just my opinion...
