No, I do - however - often accidentally get hurt and enjoy it. Such as cutting my heel open today, it felt great!

I like punching myself in the face. I have these weight lifting gloves and when I'm taking a break between lifting weights I sometimes lay into myself, I don't really know why I just like doing it. It doesn't hurt much, and when I do get a proper clean hit on myself that does hurt I just laugh, it's fun. I imagine if I had a boxing bag I wouldn't do it, but I don't, so yeah, my face is the next best thing it seems.
When I do get hurt, I like to try and numb the pain. Pain is just a feeling after all, and I don't know why pain hurts, I assume it's just a reaction that causes discomfort in the body, but it's not like feelings can be described, so what makes pain different from a good feeling like the one you get from eating chocolate? A good example of this was just the other week when I was bored sat on my window and a lighter was next to me, so I burnt this piece of rope and some rubber or wax dripped off and melted on my finger. It "hurt", but I still didn't know why. I went to bed with my finger stinging like crazy, but because I couldn't explain to myself why it hurt I was asleep within 5 minutes, despite my finger being burnt to shit.

Not really.
I do it for a sort of reassurance. If I'm about to put on, say, a woolly jumper that's going to rub a lot. If I have a cut that's going to get rubbed, I'll prod the cut to see if it hurts. If it does, I know I can brace myself when I put on the jumper.
That kind of reassurance.
That's a crap excuse for me not doing anything to hurt myself and attempting to avoid injury at all costs.
Because I'm a wuss. In my defence, a wuss that bruises easily.

No. I'm fairly lucky and grateful to have the normal response to stimuli. In other words, pain = bad, pleasure = good. I feel sorry for people who have somehow blurred the line between the two, even though they don't usually feel that its a bad thing.
I'm not trying to insult people here, because its one of those things that has to have something to do with the wiring of the brain, not choice. Nonetheless, I'm thankful its not me.

No. Because I am well adjusted. And hurting yourself is a silly thing to do. All my myriad scars are from accidental injuries and my body's tendency to scar rather more easily than normal for some odd reason.
Did you see the one about eating your own poop though? I'm pretty sure that was a troll, but still - who intentionally starts a thread by talking about how they like to eat their own feces and then asking us to share similar tales, bleh?Tharwen said:
I do minor things to myself. Because I donate, if anybody sees marks made by cig burns or cuts, my only source of income is lost. But yes I'm a masochist, and i receive great pleasure from pain. Especially if it's inflicted by someone else. I don't consider it "emo" like a lot of people do, it's sexual. My friend can't even wrap his head around that concept.
During the darker days a few years back I did that. Didn't get any kick out of it, no pleasure, not even a release of any kind. Probably why I didn't do it for long. I'm more of a "lets smash shit up" person than a "take my anger out on myself" person.Jack_Uzi said:
Ouch. You didn't hurt yourself too much, did you?no oneder said:
I've never hurt myself for pleasure. I don't see the point in it. Yea, it might somehow feel good, but after that feeling goes away, all you got left is pain. At least, that's how I see it.
I love being scratched during sex, and im not talking about some light harmless little poke with your nails kind of scratching here. I want you to make me fucking bleed. It's entirely dependant on the partner though of course, some people aren't comfortable with it, and with some people it just doesn't feel right. Not like I need it to get off anyway, it just adds to the experience.
