I am a masochist
I'm actually curious if you mean that literally - in another thread we came up with a theory that enjoying stuff like BDSM, etc and enjoying spicy food could actually be linked by how sensitive someone is to endorphins.
I'm likely not at all sensitive to them, so for me pain just doesn't lead to pleasure (besides trivial things like scratching an itch)
I do enjoy the feeling of pain but it's not particularly sexual tbh, if I had to compare it to something else I'd say it's a sort of sensory seeking thing? Idk
I find that really interesting - and can't relate to it at all. I suppose if what I do counts as sensory seeking it goes in the opposite direction (I mean porn) but pain is definitely a pure negative for me that I do my best to avoid.
I think there might be something to the endorphin theory (and my apparent lack thereof)
