Does anyone know of any actual case of a sexual masochist having been produced by learning/training/conditioning in which the person definitely was not a masochist to start with? (Begs the question of how, exactly, they ended up undergoing the said conditioning...)
I once met someone who claimed to have trained people to be masochists. (It was at a rather weird convention, and he was demonstrating "knife play" - stimulating someone by lightly running knife blades across their skin without cutting them.)
Does that hurt? With particularly sharp instruments even actually cutting yourself doesn't necessarily hurt straight away.
It doesn't if you're not afraid, but fear and pain are highly interrelated and both have proximal places on the BDSM spectrum.
