For instance, if you’ve ever cut a nail too short and keep pressing on that spot, or enjoyed getting spanked during sex?

I used to self harm to the point of “exquisite tenderness”. It felt sublime. Like finding a true peace in a sanctuary. It was difficult to get to that point but even if I didn’t it would reset my thoughts and I’d have a short period after of pain slowly turning into comfort. I actually miss it but it did a lot of long term and possibly permanent damage. If anyone is on this path, please try to find some help. Peace can be found elsewhere.
