Masochism

[InMotion]

I wasn't sure where to post this. So I figured 'Self-Harm' would be a good place to start, as it does encompass it. Right, I discovered late last year that I have some extreme masochistic tendencies. Basically I was just wondering if any of you guys out there have similar ones? (I mean not just thoughts, emotionally, but physically you act on your thoughts, etc)
If you don't really want to discuss, feel free to PM me, as I'd love to talk to like-minded people. I feel sort of... Alone in this. It seems that everyone else that I've ever found who feels this way is either not acting on it, or taking it too far in a search for sexual thrill (now that is involved with me, but not to the extent that most do it, i.e BDSM, etc.)
What are your thoughts, WhyEaters? :/

I was quite close to someone I think had very strong masochistic tendencies. I think we all have a bit of it in us though, and I know I find myself swinging from masochism to sadism. PM me if you want to talk more I guess.

I'm happy to talk here, if you are, Vision. :) <3
I find that masochism and sadism do go wonderfully well hand-in-hand, which is why I find they often come together. :) Do you have any other experiences of it? Or would you prefer not to say? :) <3

umm I dont like to go into details but I think its perfectly normal..I've been tied up before in a playful way and as long as it doesnt hurt anyone who cares?

Exactly, Faerie. :) Well, in my case, I get hurt, but I like it, so it's okay. :P :)

I'm actively involved in the BDSM community. I used to be a cutter and I slowly started getting into BDSM and now I don't even think about cutting anymore, which is amazing because my scars have healed and no new ones will ever form again.

Maya, that's lovely (That you don't cut anymore). :) It's great that you found an outlet for that, which is less self-destructive, and certainly more enjoyable. :) Well done. :D
