What are some of the symptoms of masochism?

Answer 1

Symptoms.Signs of Masochism can be all sorts of things. If a person has this, they could get different reactions from others e.i. Loving the sight of Blood, or loving people being tortured. Things like that. But I don't really know much about this. Sorry.

Answer 2

You pleasure yourself with the physical pain drowning the mental pain.

well, its really dependent on the masochist, personally, it can be a little stressful at times, at others i function just like any other person, however, for me there's always this gnawing need for pain and abuse in the back of my head,

my masochistic wants vary greatly, sometimes i dont think about it, and at others im practically wanting to beg people to beat and insult me (i spend some time on chats and i have ended up begging people -_-' )

im quite open about it, though i can see why many people wouldn't be, and if we compare me to another masochist, say my friend, we see differences, in him, there is no sexual gratification, however, he does enjoy more brutal acts than i do, by a small margin, he also self-harms to a small extent which i do not, i rely on other people to abuse me, and relationship-wise am totally submissive to my girlfriend,

in terms of relationship, my girlfriend and i do love each other greatly, however, we share a slave-master relationship, shall we say, this is of completely mutual consent, and i do enjoy being a slave to her, as i only really feel useful when im being used,

romantically, i cannot visualize time spent with my girlfriend in public or private without some form of restraint on my person, for instance a collar or handcuffs (both of which i enjoy wearing greatly) sexually speaking, it is much the same and cannot visualize myself playing a non-submissive role in intercourse,

personally, i enjoy the thought of being insulted, degraded, mocked, humiliated in private and public, beaten, slapped, punched, kicked, pinched, bitten, whipped, strangled, cut, stabbed with needles, being gagged, bound, forced to do tasks, forced to act as an object, forced to act as a tool for sexual pleasure, forced to act as a pet or animal, being raped or violated and being used in any way by the general public, though, this list is just for me, i cannot say for other masochists,

in short, being a masochist is in ways similar to normal people and in ways greatly different, i dont really dress or act publicly any differently than i would (though, if told to by someone i accept as dominant, i probably would), though, it is infuriating seeing one of your classmates being punched by another classmate in front of your face, for me it makes me unbearably envious, it rarely affects my work though, so, being a masochist is fun for me, i enjoy the suffering im put through by people and my girlfriend, and at other times its uncomfortable, for when i dont see my girlfriend for a while and noone abuses me,

hope this answers your question,
