Help: My sexual fantasies are really messed up and I've become terrified of them

Comments in here are troubling to me. I think most of us understand there is a societal stigma against BDSM. That’s programmed into a lot of people. Which means a lot of people are disturbed to find they like inflicting or receiving pain, or enjoy domination or submission, or any other aspect of Kink. That can create issues when coming to terms with things and how these desires can be vented in a positive and mutually beneficial way.

If a conservative pastors son found he was turned on by men and was disturbed by it, the last thing I’d expect an LGBT group to do would be to mock him. So why are people on here jumping this kid for not knowing better than the stereotypes? Maybe talk to this guy like he’s confused and disturbed, not like he’s personally attacking you? He just sounds like he’s trying to sort himself out to me.
