Poll: Ever harmed yourself for pleasure?

[Cheesus333]

I've never self-harmed for any sort of sexual pleasure (or any pleasure otherwise) but I've been known to deliberately hold onto hot things, press sharp stuff (compasses, sharpened pencil tips etc.) into my skin and put myself into rock-and-a-hard-place type positions in order to raise my pain threshold. I don't enjoy it, though...

the road to recovery gives me constant waves of pheromones, which results in a euphoric relaxed state,

Do you mean endorphins? Granted my minimal knowledge of biology and anatomy, but I don't think pheromones would be very useful in that situation.

....huh.

OT: No, can't say I ever have. When it comes to pleasure, I prefer to helping my own well-being ; usually in some cheap, temporary, caffinated way to get my tastebuds stimulated. Mmmm...

I apologize for not contributing more to the argument, and I thank the kind folks at The Escapist for involuntarily reminding me of the coffee taste.....

Nope. I find the line between pleasure and plain is quite a clear, thick line. I do sorta understand doing it for the rush of endorphins or adrenaline, but couldn't you go bungie jumping? Or rock climbing? Or jump out a tree. Anything other than hurting yourself. I don't know, it just seems... Wrong to me. In a way.

I agree with the people that have pointed out, that it's more fun, if done to you by someone else.

This... is the single most fucked up thread I have read on this site. I just can't compare to anything on it.

Exactly, what is wrong with people.. These threads make me feel normal! D:

Let's talk about normal things

Today I went out and bought Starcraft. Now I'm about to go swimming... for pleasure.

Buying starcraft (2 I assume) actually puts you lower than most people here..

Anyway, it's a fucking disaster (weather-wise) here in Italy, it's rained over 100 mms today.. And power went out 3 times D:

So I wasn't really thinking about swimming

You don't like StarCraft? Oh well... I wasn't actually going to get it but then I realised that I had a gift card left over from last Christmas which wasn't doing much.

Um... Kinda-ish. I did it once to "impress" someone (I was a stupid little shit, wasn't I?), but that was the only time. I immediately regretted it though, I mean it was pretty fucking stupid.
