sorry I forgot to add this.  If people were comfortable I was wondering if maybe some people could explain to me why they enjoy it?  Like is there a reason behind the enjoyment of it?  He was never really able to explain why he enjoyed it to me.  He just said he did.  Like when my mother died, I was very upset and sobbing and we were laying in bed and holding eachother and he took it to the next level.  And when he did that I became upset and he tried to explain that he wasn't excited about why I was crying but he was just excited by the crying itself.  I understand sometimes you just can't explain these things.  So it's okay if not but I figured I might ask.  

Thank you, I actually talked to my ex today.  We're parents together and still very close friends and kinda asked him if he understood where it came from.  And he told me he didn't really know that but he thought for him it was seeing raw emotion inside someone, for him he doesn't cry as often so seeing someone express it is nice for him.  And as I have been reading a little around the site I'm seeing that a lot of others are also not quit sure the full reason behind it.  When me and him were talking and reading on here I started to think about the times that I had seen him cry and in a way I did enjoy it myself too.  Not in a sexual way but just in an emotional connection way.  Like petting his hair and wiping his tears and kissing his face.  I remember being hurt that he was hurting but also feeling so much love.  So this and a few other experiences has me thinking I'm interested in it in different kind of ways.  Thank you so much for your input on this.  
 

Hi, Sweetsong.  I think you've come to the right place,  If you need  a friend, feel free to holler at any of us..  We're a fairly diverse lot, but we're good people, and we honestly care about each other.

I'm a male in my twenties and I can tell you from my own similar experiences that your ex was definitely not lying. When I was a little younger and just starting to realize that crying aroused me more than anything else, I had a babysitter watching me. I had a crush on her and thought she was just beautiful. That night, she got a call that her sister had just died. She began crying and sobbing and letting out everything she had while just sitting there on the couch. I couldn't move because I frozen staring at her, watching her cry and getting so turned on. I had no idea why and thought it was so messed up for me to be feeling this way because she was crying...about the death of her sister. Then I slowly realized after that, it has nothing to do with the reason she was crying. It's simply just the act itself. The passion and the emotion and the sound of the crying while the tears flow down the face. The vulnerability about the girl as she sits there helplessly crying. Everything about it! You can see I've clearly got it bad. And I've got way more experiences, too.

I also get aroused by my own crying because I find the sensations of crying and organ gave some similarities.  The convulsing of the body,  the ragged breath, both are visceral.  It's so strange but I get it.
