Probably: Bleeding gums usually is the first sign of local inflammation or problem. If your gum bleeding is related to aggressive brushing and/or flossing you are causing damage to the periodontium. Would you scrub your hands until they bleed? Doubt it. I tell my patients they are cleaning their teeth not scrubbing the floor. Contact time is more important than pressure or force. Please stop...

Yes: Gums should not bleed and you should not enjoy making them bleed. See a dentist to see why your gums bleed and discuss the fact that you like making them bleed. Personally I do think that is weird. Perhaps you are not expressing yourself in the manner that you intended to. If you are, consider discovering why by talking to a professional about it.

Help needed: Healthy gums do not bleed, infected gums do. If you brushed your hair and it bled you would be alarmed. The same is true for your gums. As for liking to make them bleed...Well, bottom line is you need dental treatment. You likely have a periodontal infection which is caused by bacteria. Weird or not an untreated infection can lead to tooth loss and medical problems.
