I hope everyone is having fun with the spookiest time of the year. Growing up I enjoyed Halloween a lot cause of the high amount of special episodes airing on TV and the constant creepy commercials, and these days it feels like with the rise of streaming, Halloween festivities are fucking everywhere. Every streamer and creator on the planet tends to do something for the holiday whether that be playing a scary game or watching a horror movie. I figured with only a little time left before the big day, I wanted to do a bit of research before the time is over. You see I’ve never really gotten a fear boner before, and I wanted to tread into dangerous territory by opening up the discussion with you guys.

This question is actually two-parts. First, do you get fear boners in terms of do you think you get aroused by fear? And second, do you think you “get” as in understand your own definition of the term? I’ve seen a ton of people talk about having fear boners for anime characters like Makima, but to me that’s different. Makima is hot as hell, dominant, and intimidating. Knowing how much manga readers have spoiled I probably SHOULD fear her, but when I think about her in a sexual context, it’s more about the power dynamic than being scary. I’d do whatever Makima said like a pathetic simp because I’m trying to A) not die or B) at least touch that ass once before I die. What’s enticing about the situation to me is how strong Makima is, not necessarily how scary.

My dick is pumping way harder than my heart right now.

Okay now see that girl below? If you’re attracted to her, THAT falls much more in line with my mental comprehension of a “fear boner”. In this case she’s not necessarily super attractive or conventionally sexy, and based on her appearance there’s a definite high risk that she could be some ghost demon or something that’s going to kill your ass. If that idea gets your blood pumping and the thought of “oh god I might die if I approach them, but perhaps there’s a 1% chance I could get some intercourse” enters your mind, that to me is more the posterboard example of a fear boner. In which case I have to say no, this isn’t something I really experience when imagining sexy scenarios. I do argue there’s something to be said for injecting fear into sex to make it more exciting, however then we’re talking about real life fucking and that’s an entirely separate can of worms.

My type of girl usually has eyes, thanks though.

I’m hoping I was able to articulate what I perceive as the difference between a normal simp boner and a true fear boner. Perhaps one day I’ll experience a true fear boner that enlightens me to the appeal. Until then it’s time to plan out which Halloween party to crash. Have you gotten a fear boner before? Do you think there’s a difference between a fear boner and a power imbalance boner? Have I said boner enough for one month? Fuck some ghosts, run from zombies, and hold your breath to avoid detection in the comments below!
