Curiosity killed the cat , I did a similar thing to your ex . I was bored and had never actually used browsed the dark web before . Over a month I probably spent maybe 10 hours tops browsing around . Some things were interesting like all the illegal markets for drugs and guns . There were some fucked up porn , but not much worse than what you can find on sites like HeavyR on the normal web . The worst shit I saw was a site advertising like 500 videos of girls being raped for a certain amount of bitcoins , and a fucked up fanfictionfictionpress site where it was pretty much all the super dark fetishes like vore , and torture . Tried reading one story to see how bad it really was , didn ' t get too far before I started skimming , like 3 minutes later I couldn ' t read anymore and that was the last thing I did before I uninstalled the browser and said nope it is not for me . If you care to know about the premise of the story I read it was about 2 late teens to early 20 year olds IIRC going on a cruise ship . That just so happened to be a cruise ship that effectively tortures all the passengers that payed the standard price and not the real hundreds of thousands of dollars price . And by torture I mean everything you can think of including sexual torture to the max .
