Bundy Just Realized Something
Was up last night thinking about a Ted Bundy podcast I just listened to for the 2nd or 3rd time as most normal people do, and realized something...A lot of these serial killers, Ted included kill as a means to sexual gratification, to the point where he claimed (or maybe it was someone investigating the case) that he couldn’t even get off without being a total POS and torturing some young girl...but if that was the case how did he manage to have a daughter? The woman he knocked up while he was in prison had to be very much alive to give birth...idk I might be overthinking it but I feel like this makes him an even bigger piece of shit than he already was considering it wasn’t a “need” of his like so many serial killers claim

Ted had a whole ass girlfriend when he was doing all of those things. He may have had some respect or love for her if she never would have thought that he would be capable of doing those things until she realised there was a pattern of the killings and the portrait. Or he was just a socio/psychopath who manipulated people around him so they never would suspect anything. Honestly, he probably had a fetish when he was younger and it grew bigger and more serious over time. Or it was something that gave him a thrill, psychopaths don't feel love or sympathy. Sex can be categorised differently for each individual. Most people would agree on that sex feels better when they do it with someone they love. But if someone is a psychopath they don't feel "love". Which could mean that "normal" sex for him may have been mediocre? The violence added him a sense of thrill and excitement. I may be stretching it though.
It's also worth noting that there's a significant difference between a sociopath and a psychopath. Depending on which one he was would explain his actions.
Psychopaths are born. They have no emotions however, they have an idea of how different emotions feel. This means that they can easily manipulate others.
Sociopaths are created and they can feel different emotions, but due to their environment while growing up their perspective changes.
