Poll: Ever harmed yourself for pleasure?

[child of lileth]

Sometimes. But only for fun, or with a partner.

 

[Aceptdtctv]

does putting up with female woes for intercourse purposes count? if so the answer is yes

 

[geldonyetich]

I'd be lying if I said no, on account of how I figure sitting around on my arse all day playing computer games has hurt me both physically (I'm about 40-60 lbs overweight) and socially.

On the other hand, I don't think I'd snuff out a cigarette on myself or cut myself as some do. If nothing else, to prevent having to explain odd markings to strangers.

I'llbe honest, Yes. I used to be addicted to self harming. My left arm is completly disfigured because of it... it's the stupidest idea in the world.

 

[soapyshooter]

Not in a sexual way but I had this toothache once and I keep agitating it. It hurt like hell but then i would feel good for 15 mins, probably an endorphin rush due to the pain. But I dont do creepy stuff like choking myself while fapping or something...ewww

 

[KiKiweaky]

Right disturbing thread is disturbing :/

I will say when I have been punched or hurt myself on something I may get a wee rush of adrenaline, but no I wouldn't go carving myself up for my, or somebody else's desires. Ever!

That may be due to you doing it wrong. If you manged to disfigure your arm isn't that your fault?

 

[Toar]

I hate myself ALOT. I hurt myself not for pleasure, but punishment.

I didn't know badges could be so awesome. Well done, sir.

Thanks, I get that a lot. I wish there were more letters in badges, though.

 

[commandersqwigly]

I test my knives on myself to make sure they're sharp.

Of course it's my fault, I didn't realize I implied otherwise. I used to cut deep, very deep.. And I've gotta live with these permanent scars forever. And how on earth can you self-harm "wrong"?

 

[superbatranger]

No.

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.

I remember it as way too painful. I was almost blacking out. I've been through worst though.

That has to be one of the most embarrassing ways to die. With a rope around your neck and your hand in your pants.

Well, thank goodness that it didn't get any worse than that.

No man! It wasn't like that. It was my boyfriend's idea. He came up with the idea of putting a plastic bag over my head and a belt around my neck while... you know... doing it. He got to carried away. I could've died that day.

Oh no! I didn't mean it like that. I was just speaking in general. So, it was the boyfriend's idea? Well..now I forgot what I was going to say.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

The amount of people answering yes to that poll is kind of surprising.

And more than a little disturbing o_o

 

[Solemn Soup]

NO!! That's not something that I would do to my body at all. Not something i find delightful.

 

[ilion]

No. only stupid spoiled people with no empathy do that. ...... okay i was a bit harsh, but even tough pain can sometimes free you, it just as addictive as pleasure, iam not saying we should all be stoic monks, only to understand the cyclical impermanence of the self and others.

 

[spartan231490]

Um...barring the general discomfort of this thread, sorta. Not really intentionally, but sometimes when you badly clip a nail and end up peeling up that little bit along the side that gets all inflamed and stuff. Sometimes when that happens I'll find myself messing with that since it like...it hurts, but it feels sorta good in a weird way...I dunno, it's like it hurts but it's a relief from the general ache of the injury...hard to explain.
Have never hurt myself really badly though for the sake of pleasure, unless you count punching a wall out of anger as a sort of venting mechanism.

pretty much this, although it's prolly more due to my mild ocd than anything else. I pick at anything, it runs in my family.

 

[Tartarga]

Hell no, I'm a real ***** when it comes to pain.

 

[Mimssy]

An ex-boyfriend of mine used to like me to smack him around a bit. I was always really afraid to hurt. I don't enjoy causing pain to other people; however, I do enjoy some pain for pleasure. I like both giving and receiving bites (nothing to draw blood mind you) and some choking. Part of me feels creepy for admitting that, but fuck it.

I used to have a girlfriend that always wanted me to hurt her. I have no problem with hurting myself, but other people.. I can't make myself do it. She also apparently got off on making her boyfriends angry.
