cutting related to rape?

[candabear17]

I have issues with craving pain and rough sex/violence. I've found that lately when I cut, its not so much to bleed, but to see how long i can keep the pain going. I do eraser burns and peel off the scabs multiple times before it heals and spray hairspray and alcohol on open wounds just to feel the burn. Is it possible that they're related?

I'm unsure what you're asking?

Are you asking if liking rough sex is related to self-harm, or if having been raped is related to self-harm?

I think you're asking the first and if that's the case i've wondered this too. The urge to hurt that I get is very similar during sex as it is when i'm just upset. I don't know if it is or not but you're not the only one that thinks it might be.

I was wondering both.... I just think there may be some connection between the pain that I was to cause him but can't and the pain that I actually cause myself.
