A member asked:
Can you explain if it's weird that pain causes me pleasure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endorphins: The brain's endorphins (opiate like molecules) are released any time there is injury and pain. The pleasue from these endorphins can be greater than the pain of the injury. This explains some of the behavior of self mutilation. Sexual pleasure can also be generated by painful experiences in some people (ex. spanking).
