Masochists Rejoice!
Masochists rejoice! Know I have a notion on why you like to be spanked, whipped, scratched, pinched or whatever it is you like to have done to you. Researchers have discovered that when you scratch yourself not only does your brain shut out other sorts of pain (like the itch you are scratching) but it can also block out bad memories. Taking this to the next level you can see where professional sadism might become a growth industry.
So be happy! If you’re having a bad day just have someone give you a good spanking. Anyone in the know will smile and nod their heads in understanding. Maybe this is why I derive such perverse pleasure from scratching my shins when the skin dries out…?
Read the specifics here. I’m interested to see if they can develop a drug out of this.
