something like asking for a friend....
I'm more interested about mental wellbeing.
Could you explain this a little further?
I think I get what real.one might be on about.
As with many or even most out of us this listening kink is a very visceral thing. When I hear those sounds something inside my mind switches on and the mind itself seems to get caught between an oversensitivity to any stimulus and a sort of disconnection that favors bodily sensations. I get hot and bothered, I get hard, I even get wet.
This kind of intense lustful excitement is one that I've never ever felt apart perhaps during my childhood and adolescence. It is, one the one hand, a formidable expression of health and vitality to feel such desire but, on the other hand, I've always felt that there was a price to pay for it.
When silence is resumed, when reality gets back to my mind and my body turns back to being a way of locomotion for my head instead of a fully autonomous and thinking entity... dark thoughts arise.
What am I, if not a pervert picking up the crumbles of some other people's healthy enjoyment of sex ? What am I, but a strange and insignificant character with his ears stuck to the wall, I ask ?
It'd be easy to discard those thoughts entirely as mere symptoms of post-orgasmic hormonal imbalance, for it is quite probable that most men experience those, but the cycle repeats itself endlessly. The ears pick up sounds, the mind interprets and the guts get involved.
Of course, one's personal situation plays an enormous role I'm sure, but there's something about our kink that looks like a trap, like a mirage of some sort.
I don't want to derail that thread with my negativity nor do I want to project my own issues onto other people's experience, especially since @real.one has expressed the need to talk about it. Feel free to delete or put this post somewhere else. I'd be genuinely interested to discuss this further, either privately via PM or publicly.
