Do you like pain during sexual encounters and if yes, do you have a history of self injury?

Pain during sex/play for me is generally pretty mild & mixed in with pleasant stuff. A great deal of that just has to do with my personal line between what feels good to me and what doesn't. Soft touching feels kind of gross to me. And the nature of any pain I might enjoy in a sexual situation is totally different than that of self-injury. In my case, the self-injury often didn't even hurt - it was more symbolic at times, I suppose.
When I used to self-injure years ago, it was a coping/control mechanism for dealing with stuff I didn't know how to handle otherwise. It may have been a release of sorts, but it wasn't generally erotic. It wasn't something I did because I enjoyed it but because it was mentally necessary at the time.

I've thought about it a few times, but I've never done it.

I like pain. I do not, nor have I self-injured for depressive reasons.
I have masochist tendencies, but I don't actually *like* pain. I just enjoy the connection and chemistry in taking what a good sadist can give.
...and I have self injured.
When I was younger.. I did self-injure myself. It didn't last long but I do not think that my sexual preferences now reflect on what happened in the past.
Now.. it is about being dominated and about sex. It is about love and how much I trust him not to permanately damage me. I am a complete pain slut and beg for more and more. I trust him enough to hurt me.. if that makes sense. I hope it helps. xoxo
In any case, I've never self-injured.
