Poll: Ever harmed yourself for pleasure?

[z3rostr1fe]

I just harm myself to dispose any anger that existed in my system. For instance, banging the computer table. I'm such an angry person...

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.

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

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"?

I thought you were calling self harm for pleasure stupid. Its not really, but you have to know what your doing so you don't injure yourself. Its less about harm and more about the pain involved.

I don't know much about self inflicted pain, but I had a girlfriend who was very rough on me when we got intimate. But she manged to have her fun without accentually hurting me. Good times.

In essence, it is fairly stupid. That's what I think anyway. But what can I say, I like to bleed. not alot of ways to do that without scarring.

1k posts whoop.

Bleeding? Are we talking about the same thing? I don't think we are anymore.

If we're still talking about harming for pleasure, then yes we're still on about the same thing. Maybe I got lost somewhere along the way if not.

Maybe if I wanted to enact protocol...

I am so scared by so many people there are on here that like pain!

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Wow. This one really brought the crazies out of the woodwork, didn't it?

It's like the Furry topic all over again.

And no, I haven't, in case you hadn't already figured that out.

 

[RatRace123]

Uh nope, I prefer to keep pleasure and pain as seperate entities. Well, unless it's medical, like getting a dose of morphine after a surgery, that's made all the more awesome because of the seering amount of pain you're in beforehand.

I won a ten person contest by making six one inch lomg cuts on my arm. I was happy I won but the pain still sucked. Does that count?

 

[Daipire]

For the adrenaline rush, yes.

Not 'for pleasure', mind you.

 

[NoblePhilistineFox]

no,
but I hurt others for pleasure though.
nothing physical, I like to screw with thier heads though ^_^
and it doesnt give me a sexual high

 

[IxionIndustries]

I love getting sunburns simply for the peeling afterwards. Plus, it causes me to undergo this beautiful transformation from a pasty white ghoul into a golden sexual satyr.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

I kill myself every February 2nd.

This is the best post of the thread.

OT:

Not to make myself feel good. Once I tried using physical pain as a distraction from emotional pain, on the principle that one pain that is more apparent sometimes outweighs and makes you temporarily forget about another if they are both physical pain. So, I pinched my arm really fucking hard. What I found was that I felt no better emotionally and that my arm now hurt.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Sometimes if I accidently get hurt or something itches or whatever, I try to enjoy the pain a little bit and ride it out. But generally I don't hurt myself for pleasure.

Interestingly its not just physical pain that I might enjoy a little. Emotional pain is another thing that I might embrace when it occurs. It's colored my sense of humor a shade darker than it used to be.

Only in a sexy this hurts good way.

 

[gryewolf]

I do, but not for sexual pleasantries. If my back itches really bad when I'm in the shower I turn off the cold water and let the extremely hot water burn the itchiness away. That and I use to twist my loose teeth alot, although I'm sure most of us did that.

 

[Dark2003]

Putting alcohol on my wounds, does give me a rush

 

[Tetranitrophenol]

I have a Girlfriend that I am pretty sure ill marry some day. From what Ive heard this is the equivalent of ripping off my own nails with a needle.

so yeah...I harm myself for pleasure!

Walter:-Remember when you said "til death do us part"?
Jeff:-well,yea
Walter:-Later you will find out you were actually setting a goal!

 

[firedfns13]

Working out.

 

[P.Tsunami]

Uh... yeah. I've had others hurt me for physical gratification, hurt myself for the same reason, or just to shake the numbness away.

 

[UbarElite]

No, not really, no, but hey whatever boats your float.

 

[DarkenedWolfEye]

I have, in small ways. I'll punch myself in the stomach, or hit my head off a wall just to see what it's like. I'll deliberately keep playing guitar until my fingers and wrist are sore. I'll punch something until the pain forces me to stop.
Once, I even filed down once of my nails to make it sharp, and scratched the back of my hand until it bled a little. I don't know why, just to say that I did.
