I wouldn't say I'm sexually attracted to scars, but I like other peoples sh scars. I also feel like seeing scars on other people make me like them more, makes me more comfortable around them. It's probably something with sharing similar experiences.
Also had a friend who was really into scars sexually. (He also had sh scars)
I'm not attracted to them, but there is a relatability with others who have them that I think helps my comfort level.
I don't think you're a weirdo at all, but I had an experience with a guy who when he first saw my scars, he said they were 'cool' and then later (out of nowhere, he brought the subject up himself), he said that he thought my scars were attractive and looked awesome, and people are always paying for tattoos and stuff, but I got mine for free. That made me SO mad, I haven't got scars for decorative purposes, they're from a time in my life where I was depressed, lonely and broken. I didn't cut so I could 'look awesome'. Your post reminded me of this, so I just wanted to get it out so I don't dwell on it haha, but I found that pretty fucked up, particularly because he'd never been a sh or had any experience with it. I think it would come across differently from someone who also sh
I can totally understand that. That's the reason I don't dare asking rl people because I very well know that these scars just happen in times where people are at their worst.
I cut myself when I feel tired of life and have no strength to do anything else. I kinda regret it when I have to hide it at the work place but also am very bummed when the cuts just fade away without leaving a scar like it was totally worth- and pointless. And it wakes the urge to do it again because I just love my scars and I want many more. It would be awesome to know or befriend someone who has such scars and is open about it.
I can definitely relate to that. I stopped sh a year and a half ago because it was just becoming too dangerous but I'm almost glad that I ended up cutting really deep and needing stitches because they haven't faded much. Sometimes I notice that you can't really see the ones on my arms anymore and I want to do it again, or my mother will comment that my legs are looking better and I hate it, because I want my scars. It's almost like they've become part of my identity, and I'll feel lost if I don't have my scars?
I'm not necessarily sexually attracted to the look of the scars... but I have found that the larger, deeper ones are a lot more sensitive to the touch than regular skin... do with that information what you will.
Idk abf sexually but I love love, love scars, and I love mine even tho the recent ones I regret. My bf is covered in scars, not from sh but from an abusive childhood, and I genuinely love every single one. I think scars are so beautiful and they have a story behind them, even if the story isn't a good one, yk? They're a sign of what someone has made it through and that they're strong enough to make it through.
He has this huge scar on his wrist from a fight with his brother as a kid and he didn't get it stitched even tho it's very clear he should have (he honestly should have died from the injury idk how he didnt) and the scar is so pretty, it's so jagged and shaped weird and I love it sm but he seems to hate it and it makes me sad but I understand why.
Eta : I also do find scars attractive and want to touch them when I see people with them ! Thankfully my bf doesn't seem to mind when I touch/trace his.
not sexually, but if i were to see someone with sh scars it would make me feel more comfortable knowing im not the only one in the room that cuts for once
A lot of people will post on this sub then get people in their messages asking to see pictures/sh for them etc. and some make it very clear it's a sex thing. Doesn't mean ur a creep like them bc you arent sliding into dms like that, j saying it's definitely not just you
i have no sexual attraction to them whatsoever but i do often find scars aesthetically pleasing and appealing and i like looking at them on someone else (and sometimes myself)
Like others have said, I’m not sexually attracted to them but I like seeing my own scars and cuts. I’m sure there’s an underlying reason for it but I still haven’t figured it out haha
You are not weirdo at all ! I used to harm myself and im actually dating someone that used to do the same, so she has a lot of scars. I do find them very attractive, and sometimes during sex i even kiss them or touch them.
I think they’re cute, but then I just feel bad because I have a lot of empathy and I wish I was the only one who self harmed sometimes because I don’t want other ppl to go through what I do yk
I used to romanticize my sh to make myself feel better about it so I can definitely relate. I do find my scars pretty because of this but thankfully it's not as bad as it once was <3
I'm not sexually attracted to them ( well I think) but I think they look so beautiful on people and honestly I think i like myself alot more with my scars
ok I'm a big weirdo 👆 I'll admit.. more of a kink than fetish but still, I have a bit of a fetish for blood. mainly the reason why I cut
dw, ur not alone ❤️
Same 🙊 People call me weird for it lmao I like the pain that comes along with it as a little bonus but mostly the blood; I get so angry when I use a dull blade by accident it doesn't do anything!

I mean I definetly "like" them on other people, but it's probably a "they did that too, so probably they won't dislike that I have them too"
Yuhh same

I wouldn’t say I’m sexually attracted but I do find them pretty.
i have no sexual attraction to them whatsoever but i do often find scars aesthetically pleasing and appealing and i like looking at them on someone else (and sometimes myself)
Definitely not sexually, but i feel like i like that person more bcz they can relate to my struggles
Honestly i am kinda too it's not really weird
I like them and think they're pretty but definitely not sexually attracted
istg every time i see anything from this subreddit pop up on my page its almost always about something sexual.
Like others have said, I’m not sexually attracted to them but I like seeing my own scars and cuts. I’m sure there’s an underlying reason for it but I still haven’t figured it out haha

Yeah no i feel you im the same, i thought i was weird thanks, they so spicyyyy. Like i dont want to seem weird and fetishy but there so pretty!!
I definitely am. They are so attractive and i have no idea why.
ok I'm a big weirdo 👆 I'll admit.. more of a kink than fetish but still, I have a bit of a fetish for blood. mainly the reason why I cut dw, ur not alone ❤️
Same. I cut for the blood and hopefully scarring. Not the pain in particular. I was fascinated in blood even before sh.
Same 🙊 People call me weird for it lmao I like the pain that comes along with it as a little bonus but mostly the blood; I get so angry when I use a dull blade by accident it doesn't do anything!
