What Makes A Serial Killer Tick?

In order to understand what really makes a serial killer ticks, one needs to flashback to their past life, especially their teenage life. Almost all serial killers come from a background of physical abuse, sexual abuse, and addiction to drugs or alcohol. The mindset of a serial killer is borne out of sexual frustration and lack of social acceptance or ridicule. Sometimes a negative experience like jilted love can dwell in the mind of a person to such an extent that he can become mad with fury. He will vent out his feeling by going out all out to kill the lover who spurned him. After that he will have a contorted view of the opposite sex and start on a killing spree, seeking 'vengeance' from the opposite sex. This gives rise to incidents of rape and homicide. For a 'sick mind' that rapes and sodomizes an individual before killing, the killer does not derive any sexual pleasure; just sadistic thrill.  It is just an action of one-upmanship to punish the victim rather than derive sexual pleasure. Some serial killers can even become one after continuously reading stories and witnessing pictures of rape, torment and murder.

Another thing which ticks the mind of a serial killer is an addiction to kill. Killing someone gives such a person an orgasmic thrill. A serial killer who was recently nabbed in Mumbai, India, also known as the 'beer man' admitted that he was attracted to the flow of blood which spurted and gushed out of the victim's body. One will be flabbergasted to know that some serial killers look so innocent and gullible that it is hard to believe that a maniac killer dwells in the psyche of such an individual
