The *pleasure principle* referenced in your first paragraph also encompasses the endorphin *highs* that athletes (myself included) regularly enjoy and are stimulated by the pain of intense exercise. My (self-serving) conclusion is that this pursuit of *euphoria* is less about filling an emotional void and more about an addictive personality (I'm guilty on that one, too).

That said, I concur that depression and other mental disorders often play in an important role in self-harm, especially in the extreme behaviors (cutting) that you describe. Although I am not in the LS, my kinkster friends approach BDSM with the intensity and discipline of an athlete (inclusive of boundaries and thresholds), which suggests to me they are also chasing *euphoria* with the same positive addiction that keeps me slogging through ultra-endurance events.

Excellent blog-post!

I agree. No pain is a waste of time. I never tried true bondage

Impressive work, this site continues to amaze me. Just when you thought it was one thing only...something of depth comes along. Well done!
