No, not for pleasure. But I did hurt myself a few times to help myself realize that I could still feel something.
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.
Most of the time when I am angry/sad (it goes hand in hand on my part, mostly anger) I break stuff no one needs like left over skirtings or brenches.
When I did hurt myself, it wasn't because I was angry with myself. More to force myself out of a point where I thought all my sences have been shut down.

The closest I've got is hurting myself at the expense of learning a new skill. Does parkour count? I'm not really masochistic, and I don't find it pleasurable when I'm in pain. It kind of hurts, in a bad way. The only time I appreciate pain is when I'm angry.

Replace 'kind of' with 'MAJORLY', and you've got me. Although most of the harm I've had inflicted for sexual pleasure has been at a partner's hands.

I let my girlfriend do me with an 11 inch strap on with spikes, do I win?

Kidding, in all seriousness I haven't, never even tried. Not exactly the adventurous type.

Does backyard wrestling count? If so, then, yes I have. When I was younger, I would participate in it.

Huh, no... I have done it because I was bored (ho say, putting my hand under the broken wheel of my chair and leaning on it until it hurts, then pulling away), but never "pleasure".

Not really.

I've jumped out of my first story window a few times, just to see if I could. The first time I sprained my ankle, but now I can do it pretty easily. The art of falling ... and landing ... in one piece.

I also like to do this, not that I have the confidence to run around shirtless as I'd be likely to smother a child with my love handles.
I run around shirtless all the time anyway, despite my less-than-perfect physique. It's odd seeing a shirtless midget running around in the cold rain at night.
I didn't know badges could be so awesome. Well done, sir.

OT: Not even once. I'm pretty against the whole pain=good thing.

I tried erotic asphyxiation once. Not good.
Ouch. You didn't hurt yourself too much, did you?

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.
Actually, if I'm not mistaken, after the pain feeling goes away, all you got left is pleasure. Endorphins ftw :p

OT: Only enjoyed some gum pain when I was a kid, usually when pulling a (milk) tooth back and forth till it fell out. Other than that, not really, I know/understand why others enjoy it, but it's just not my kind of thing.

People who take their anger and sadness out on themselves are weak, and people who need to hurt themselves to feel good are even weaker. You disgust me.
First, no one said anything about anger and sadness. This isn't about cutting yourself cause you're emo and want to punish yourself, this is about harming yourself in some way (usually nowhere near permanent damage of any kind) to achieve pleasure.

Second, the kind of reaction you exhibited with that sentence is one of fear and ignorance, both qualities of a 'weak' person. In fact, one might argue that since we all seek pleasure, those who are too afraid to go through a little pain to get there are the 'weak' ones. I wouldn't make this argument myself, but... it's a valid one :p

I tend to harm myself while having fun, but that's not quite the same thing I suppose. Just today I found myself in mid-air, 20 feet above a lake (rope swing; fun stuff.), attempting to execute a falcon-kick. I ended up landing on my back, and then screaming explatives, and then apoligizing to the traumatized children in the area (children who had very recently learned some neat new words). Basicly, I don't need to go out of my way to inflict pain on myself; it just sortof happens.

were im from, there are a lot of electric fences. when i was younger i used go out and find a fence and just grab on to it for a few seonds, i just thought it felt cool, well one day, after the third week of me wearing and arm brace, (im accident prone) i went out two ride my bike, i went by an electric fence and said hey why not. of course, i grabbed it with my arm with the brace. (arm braces have a metal bar going up the arm to the palm) as im grabing this, i also had my bike held by the metal. as soon as the first shock went through, i was cured of that problem.

Well, I did back in highschool. It didn't start that way, but I did eventually become extremely fond of the taste of blood. It did get a little bit out of hand, though. I'd end up going to school wearing long-sleeve shirts because my arms were completely covered in cuts. Peeling the sleeves off at the end of the day was fun, too. The cuts would all have this yellowy pus build up under the scabs, and... well, whatever. You don't need the details. My scars have healed remarkably well, but the serious ones (like where I've cut my hand to the point where I could probe the bone with a scalpel) are definitely still prevalent.

Just know that unlike all the emo kids that use that sort of thing as a ploy for attention, I made a sincere effort to hide it from everyone around me. I don't exactly know how I got better, I just know that I did. Kinda. I mean, I wouldn't have a hard time starting again, I just don't have any reason to.

I harmed my social life by losing my virginity to a girl who was none too popular, but other than that no. I personally don't like pain done to myself, and I don't feel comfortable doing it to others (unless I'm very controlled, but while being pleasured I doubt I'd have control).
