I was checking out another message board and came across this link, Extreme Body Mods.
Does anyone here have any idea behind the mindset of the guys who are featured in the above link?
Would it be fair to say there is a strong possibility they are clinically insane?
Don’t get me wrong, I believe they have the right to do what they want with their bodies, but I struggle to understand this.
I clicked the link with some trepidation, being the squeamish type, but…
No way. I don’t believe this for a moment. This is a hoax.
And now I note the publication date, at the very bottom of the page. Ahem.
Look at the date at the very bottom of that article.
I’d like to think it was a hoax as well, but something tells me that there are people out there like this. Maybe not these guys though.
Further searching did indeed reveal that I’ve been suckered.
:smack:
BME always does fake articles like that for April Fool’s Day. Others have included a guy turning himself into an alien, an article on a genetically engineered baby (being raised in the Raelian cult), and a couple biting off each others’ ring fingers to prove their undying love for each other.
The scary thing about this world is that if it is plausible as a joke, then it will probably happen sometime for real too.
The Catman is a real person in San Diego who has spent years turning himself into a tiger.
There really are fetishists that want to amputate parts of their body as well as some people that are sexually aroused to missing body parts.
Not quite the same, but the case of the German cannibal finding a willing participant who had mirror fantasies was real and someone on this board actually worked with the guy that got eaten.
I was watching a show on Discovery or some channel of that nature and they were following Catman, the Enigma, and the Enigma’s girlfriend.
Just from the little bit that was shown, it seemed that all the people being followed had messed up childhoods where they didn’t get much attention (I can’t remember specific examples, but I do remember that, that stood out to me).
