I saw the explanation for why MC is into hardcore bdsm from another user ,, here you go ~ “But the novel actually explains things. MC grew up super sheltered with strict Christian parents (they literally own a church). He realized his desires young but felt confused and repressed. So when he finally gained freedom in college, he threw himself into reckless sex thinking it meant “freedom.” Kinda dumb, but also very believable given his background.” OP is @lacquerine
makes kinda sense but i thought there is more to the backstory kind of disappointed tbh but what to expect its basically a yaoi with full porn
To answer your question as someone who’s actually into some hardcore stuff…
We don’t need to have a tragic backstory or trauma to justify our kinks.
Most of us started out with simple curiosity that eventually developed into something stronger. I think that’s the case with the MC. Yes, a repressed childhood probably affects his inability to self-regulate and explains why he seeks unsafe situations without thinking them through, but I feel like the core of his kink isn’t actually that deep.
did the mc happen to have any traumas as a child for his fetish to be that hardcore. He kept looking for more and more pain. There has to be a reason behind? Like come on we get it if people are masochists but not to the point they could get killed. Like idk but I think theres so much more behind it all. Anyone have any ideas, raws ?
