Am I Over-Reacting? Awkward Subject...

[bcgirl]

First off you don't know this guy and who he truly is. Secondly, what he calls "art" is in fact kiddy porn. Jeffrey dahlmer called his human remains of his victims decorated in his apartment "art" too. This bf of yours is a very disturbed individual that gets off in some way with children in very violent situations. He needs to be reported to authorities because I doubt any normal parent would allow for their child to be photographed nude in this type of "art form". I once hung out with a guy who would bring a camera with him everywhere. He said art and photography was his hobby. My friends and I just thought he was weird. One day I asked to see his camera and what he was taking pics of to see his "art" while we were all having a good time on the beach. He was very hesitant and refused. My other friend grabbed the camera out of his hand and viewed the pics. What we all saw was pics after pics of little kids in bathing suits. He of course called this art. Months later I found out he was on the run for molesting his step daughter years ago in a different province.
To this day I really wished I would have reported that day at the beach to authorities. Now I don't even know where he is and he never referred to his real name. I couldn't even find that f***er if I wanted to

Wow, this guy sounds much like my borderline ex girlfriend. She was always into dark, ****ed up things as well. These kind of people seem very attractive at the beginning, but believe me... this will turn out horrible if you stay together. Ultimately the decision is up to you, but don't be so desperate to go with this freak, hell even have sex with him. Save yourself while you can.

Supid focking forum lost my whole post.dammmmmmm

anyway short version.

if u feel its not right cause it is not!
and for real its wrong.

once i saw a quote that says that art is the artist soul'/heart or mirror something like that.
so what live in them thy put on paper. whether its good or bad.

i think that maybe this dude have been molested as a child and he did not heal or get help for it so now
he express himself that way. he may have great potential to be a pedophile / child molester.
Or at least kids or child hood has a dark ting on it for him.

I think u can better break up and leave this men. without asking him why he do what he do.
cause sometimes when u ask u may keep hanging in there cause the person brainwash u or tell
u a answer that sounds right to u.
so maybe knowing thats wrong is enough reason to break up.

And child molesters and pedophiles are nice and kind people often so they can win the kids and parents trust so they
can do their evil things.
So u calling him nice and kind say no shit to me.
And im afraid u get pregnant from him and bring a kid in such a world.

and in general i think every artist wants to be famous or recognize in the world so they have no issue showing their arts to
others . so him showing only u sounds weird to me especially the combination.

Leave before u start telling yourself its okay or its not that bad or other stupidity.
This dude have a very bad dark side that u better not try to get to it.

and i dont understand the first part but sounds to me like u so desperate to mess with whatever dude that u barely know on the internet. stop with dudes. work on your self esteem first

He said that taking pictures of naked children covered in blood turns him on... whether it was a joke or not, he's pretty sick. I think you should leave, I know I would.

sooooooooooooooo i agree!

Well since it's apparent from peoples' responses to it that I wasn't over-reacting too much, I asked him earlier to explain why one particular piece appealed to him. I guess he gave me an answer but I'm not really sure what it is...

He gave an explanation revolving around "death and naked purity" and that kind of thing, which got pretty fascinating but long. I did ask at some point whether he'd ever gotten in trouble for them and he told me that years ago (he lived somewhere else at the time) a lady had called the police on him for it, but nothing came of it.

So I began to think maybe it was all just his taste in art. At some point just to get it out of the back of my mind and make sure (that he wasn't a pedo or anything), I asked him if it turns him on at all...well he said yes, laughed at my confused expression, and changed the subject to something else. I'm still not sure if he was joking or not but I think he probably was. I know he's quite a kinky guy, but I regret asking that question.

As for the other questions I'm really not sure.

I guess as I get to know him better as the year goes on I'll find out these weirdnesses (I highly doubt this is the only weird thing I'll encounter) and deal with them, because I like him otherwise.

now i see your second post and its just what i told u about that u start doing/
u asked him for explanation and once u got it u start feeling like its fascinating.
so im afraid u will not leave and ends up finding it normal.
its sad thou . but u still leave cause u open this topic so u still think .dont wait much longer to leave.

he is a sick mentally ill person. its worse if he laugh when he tells u it turns him on.
that means he is totally into it.

he is leading u into it by long and explanations that u may find great to hear.
dont ask but run!
and he may tell u about the woman that called the police so u can think that it will not help if u call the police.
kind of mind game to safe his ass.

dont fall for that go to the police!

Apart from the obvoius creepiness of his fascination for torture and child nudity, there are several problems I can read from your post:

1: You are the first one to visit his appartment? Really? If that does not spell out dysfunctional I don't know what will.
2: He has been reported before. And that is just that one time HE himself has told you about.
3: You added "It's just some things about him (mainly the art thing but there are others)". Well, as others have mentioned, trust your gut instinct.

I'm sorry, it just all sounds too much like a script for a horror movie. I say run away... now! Even if he is OK and you stay, would there not always remain a trace of doubt that would trouble you forever?
