He is disappointed with the world state and thinks he is filthy from being at such a grotesque place. He whips himself in order to cleanse himself.
New Answer (11 May, 2012) - He tortures himself because he feels that is the only way to show himself as being human, to feel pain, to be an individual, to bleed and not take soma. If I remember right, he also does it when he gets aroused from thinking of Lenina, so it is also to say no to the temptation, the temptation that all the Alpha-Plus' do. The main thing is to interpret it how you want, but this is what I gathered when I read it. ~ DK

Why did john savage kill himself in brave new world?
When we first met John, he was innocent and accepting of everything. He then went back with Lenina and Bernard to the "Brave New World." Here he discovered how terrible the new world is and ran away to live at the lighthouse. He then preceded to live as he did before the city (growing crops naturally and not eating processed food, ect.). He also beat himself to atone for his sins. People began to show up and watch this beating happen. One thing led to another and an "Orgy- Porgy" broke out and John participated. When he woke, he realized what he had done and hung himself. My best guess is that he wanted to still be good, but finding no other way to redeem himself, he took his life. Sorry for the long answer.
