So let's talk about Pyromania.

Josh in O'KC, Oklahoma City, says, would you be willing to talk about the psychology of arson, pyromania,

and what I have, and what I have heard referred to as psychosexual component of arsonism.

Whoa.

Okay, so let's talk about arson very briefly, pyromania.

What is it associated with do you think?

Well first of all, I gotta say that, the whole thing about arson, like Pyromania, baffles me. It's from the time I was a kid, I remember hearing about it, like oh, that's such and such as an arsonist or thing.

I can never compute it. I'm like, what do you mean? Like, they want to light a fire and burn things? That's so dangerous like that's that destroys stuff, why would someone want to do that?

Like, that doesn't make any sense.

I never understood it.

Why do kids like to knock things over?

Because it's fun.

Right.

No, I know, but there was something about fire

that I found so like, well, no, you don't do that.

Like, that's crazy, like what and and even to now to this day
