Apparently I forgot to copy last week’s Fetish Friday over to tumblr last week, sorry! Better late than never, I guess!

I’m excited to write this Fetish Friday because it’s so rare that I get to write about a fetish almost exclusively held by women. Hybristophilia is better known as “Bonnie and Clyde Syndrome”. Hybristophiliacs are attracted to people that have committed heinous crimes.

I’m sure you’ve read about Ted Bundy, the serial killer that killed over thirty women. Surprisingly, this guy had a ton of female fans while he was in prison. Like many other killers, he’d get fan mail from women proclaiming their love for him. His crazy female fans are a good example of hybristophiliacs. I think it’s pretty safe to say that these women are not normal; they obviously suffer from some delusion. Scott Peterson (the guy that supposedly killed his pregnant wife, Laci) is another great example of a killer with tons of groupies.

There are two types of criminal fangirls- passive and aggressive. The passive fangirls tend to write letters of adoration to men that have committed gruesome crimes, while the aggressive fangirls will offer help in those crimes. Remember the little girl that was kidnapped by the Mormon extremist Brian David Mitchell about ten years ago? His wife, Wanda Barzee, is a great example of an aggressive hybristophiliac.

  Most of the women that have this fetish have a background colored with abusive relationships. Big surprise. Some are idealists with delusions about how their relationship with the criminal really is. For instance, they find ways to justify the criminal’s behavior and convince themselves that the criminal was acting within their rights. Others know that what the criminal did was wrong, but they choose to continue their relationship with him anyway.
