bluedragon Posted April 13, 2022 Report Posted April 13, 2022 Hi, hope this is the right forum for this. I'm very much not a bugchaser myself, but I'm interested in trying to understand the phenomenon and how intense it appears to be for some people including many on this site. It's interesting to see a very clear link between sexual arousal and trauma: not just with the possibility of contracting HIV, but with people who want to be slaves, to be humiliated, physically hurt, or treated poorly in some other way. So, I wondered whether during the most intense days of lockdown we would start seeing 'COVID bugchasers' as humanity's dark and strange psyche adapted to yet another traumatic stimulant. As it happened, I did see one guy on one of the apps who appeared to be wanting to find someone to give him COVID, but he was the only one. I actually expected to see more. Did anyone else run across a COVID bugchaser? Or, for those who remember the days before HIV, did you ever encounter 'chasers' for the other STDs? Quote
ErosWired Posted April 13, 2022 Report Posted April 13, 2022 There is a phenomenon of people wanting to get COVID, but I think in this case it’s less a matter of trauma/fetish and more a case of people responding to misinformation from sources telling them that they’re better off just “getting it and getting it over with” so they’ll build up immunity without having to take the ‘wicked’ vaccine.
