Thanks all for your responses, this has been insightful and I appreciate it! If anyone else wants to jump on feel welcome!

It seems likely that we largely had these kinks built-in to us right at birth, and mostly realized there was something to be observed early one. And naturally of course, they also evolved over time and throughout discovery. I'm intrigued at the variety of stuff!

Yes CalcSpree that very much works as an answer. Very awesome that you have a life partner that understands and accepts your kinks :)
I agree about your observation of gore in common media, I usually don't enjoy watching it much either and it usually feels kinda forced.
And lastly, I chuckled at the part about you forgetting about your guro intrigue and getting startled :P

I lol'd at that story realizing you were serious, reminded me of a guro dream I had where I got to slaughter some girl, I woke up rock-hard and smiling

That reminds me of when I watched one of those magic stabbing tricks live at a very young age, and I really wished she actually got stabbed and bled out
