I used to feel shame toward this kind of thing, but not anymore. After I saw a sex therapist who specialized in some hardcore shit, I stopped feeling ashamed of my sexuality. I've accepted that I've made guro a small part of who I am. The artwork doesn't harm anybody, so there's nothing wrong with it in my eyes. As far as IRL gore pics/vids go, those people aren't being harmed just so I can see it. Those people would have been hurt/killed anyway, and they just happened to be on film. That being said, I still generally prefer drawn stuff.

I can get off to some pretty tame stuff, I kinda have to be in the right mood for gore. Sometimes I really just want some vanilla. I used to be "addicted" to gore for a while, but that ended up being a transient phase. I've found that my consumption of guro is somewhat tied to my mental well-being. I consider myself "sick" to some degree, but not just because of my kinks. I know well that I have psychological issues. That's why I spent years in therapy and am prescribed psychotropic meds.

Fuck you, man. The sex drive isn't the only form of motivation in the world. To be honest, none of us are likely to become someone noteworthy. I mean, you do whatever you want, but not masturbating isn't going to make your life instantly better. Also, none of the "great" men you listed are people that I personally consider worth emulating.
