Autassassinophilia

Men's "Action Magazines" often portrayed women as aroused by the danger they faced.

Autassassinophilia is a paraphilia in which a person is sexually aroused by the risk of being killed. The fetish may overlap with some other fetishes that risk one's life, such as those involving drowning or choking. This does not necessarily mean the person must actually be in a life threatening situation, for many are aroused from dreams and fantasies of such.
