Episode 403: Hybristophilia - Why Do Some Women Love Serial Killers? - Video

Hybristophilia, a term coined by psychiatrist Dr. John Money, refers to a phenomenon where individuals are sexually aroused by or attracted to people who have committed heinous crimes or displayed violent behavior. This complex attraction often involves a fascination with the power, danger, or notoriety of the criminal. High-profile cases such as Ted Bundy, who garnered a following of admirers despite his gruesome crimes, exemplify this phenomenon. Similarly, the case of Richard Ramirez, known as the "Night Stalker," drew attention from women who sent him love letters and attended his trial. The allure of such individuals can be attributed to a variety of factors, including the media sensationalism surrounding their crimes and a desire for a perceived connection to danger or rebellion. Join Tom and Jenny as we delve into the very dark side of romance on this messed up and murderous episode 403.
