My apologies if anyone has already identified or gone on about the fact that torture usually adeptly blends, sexual, mental, socio-emotional, and also very hightened simply physical torture in one event.
In other words, torture is "calculated" to bring an individual into states of total overwhelm to the edge of death and leave them there long enough to break them up into whatever they want them to be. It is said that torture is sometimes a means to an end, but I argue that it is mostly not. It is usually its own addiction for the torturer, who is trapped in an obsession with his own mortality.
Torturers are prepared to be killers. Like a cat, they toy with death like a mouse, someone else's death. This brings them a sense of control that all abusers crave, but they also feel they are mastering death, which is not what most abusers need out of the abuse. They may enjoy playing in the liminal space between what their victim can and can't survive and feel master over death in this way. There is a seduction for the torturer in the temporary mastery over death, for various reasons. There is pleasure and there is fear, all kinds of things mixed up in this person.I would argue that torturers who practice voluntarily and regularly have a particular disorder that is uncoined, and that is obsession with death and the inability to feel alive without deliberately and regular masterbatory death simulations in order to cope with this death fixation.
My torturers were raised in the business of death. They, from their earliest memories, were helping work in a funeral home working on dead bodies with their dad. I believe for these boys being exposed to mortality at an age that cannot process it fully (across cultures this is a human development absolute) there are unsolved breakages in the mind of the person growing up. This then mixed in with sexual urges and who knows what, and they have become fixated on recreating the same fears in another child to cope with their own fixation.
As part of the torture, I was threatened with being put in the caskets with the dead bodies and left there, perhaps to be burned or buried alive or plain forgotten by the living.
In my experience with people who torture for its own sake, using known torture techniques, the fixation on death and bringing people who resemble them at the age they were introduced to it via OverExposure again and again is a clear issue.
I don't know if my torturers were themselves tortured at one point. I do know that they were overexposed to death at a very young age without regard to their mental health.
Science claims sadists were OverExposed to negative stimuli when vulnerable to it. I would start by looking at torture as a type of Sadism that fixates on near death experience or the emotional fixation on bringing victims to what they think is death's door.
You have to look at intent to profile this stuff. You have to look at them as a group, and you have to look at their experience leading up to their behavior pattern or else you have only opinions. Opinion is fine and worthy, but it is not as evidenced nor as sharable as logic.
