Russian scientists determine that "whipping therapy" can cure depression and suicide crises by increasing the production of endorphins. S&M as therapy? [via the science blog Gene Expression]
Ah, my penitente land.
Memo from Management: The beatings will continue until morale improves.
More justification for my past actions...one less skeleton...
I may be able to run for office yet.
YEAH BABY!!
"Seriously, baby, it'll make you feel soooooooo gooooooooooooooood... Think of it as therapy."
I welcome any and all scientific studies that show me not to be a pervert. Or less of a pervert, anyway. (Do they have any leads on frottage yet..?)
In Russia, scientists whip YOU!
"Oh, I've been a very suicidally depressed boy. I need therapy. Please, doctor, please, cure me more..."
I could go on for hours. Also,
"People might probably think of me as a masochist," Dr. Speransky said. "But I can assure you that I am not a classic masochist at all," he added.
"CLASSIC?" Hmmm...
Perhaps he meant closet?
Whip me, baby. Make me feel so baaaaaad.
Being a closet masochist is awful. Your arm gets tangled in clothes during your wind-up.
Well, the closets deserve it.
Doesn't exercise do the same thing?
Uh...release endorphins, that is.
This doesn't surprise me. In aikido there's a lot of controlling people through mild pain. After a few hundred cycles of muscle-twist/release, you're absolutely flying on endorphins.
I can see why, biologically, people do S&M.
I wonder if people who do cutting are unconsciously after the same thing. (Well, assuming they aren't attention whores blogging about it).
Doctor, schmoctor. They'd get about two whacks in before it turned into a cage match. Any pain on me just pisses me off.
Also;
The effect is astounding: the patient starts seeing only bright colors in the surrounding world
I suggest a round of Electric Koolaid may do the same, plus the whole Koolaid thing gives your hare-brained cult that sweet Guyananese cachet, no?
Tsssssh...amateurs.
What verbose said....
I've know a couple of people who were into whipping, no sex involved, and they said that they always came out of it on a complete high that lasted for days. The felt rejuvinated and in far more control. I haven't gotten up the nerve to test this myself, yet.
Spaghetti: yes. But that isn't sexy enough, apparently.
Personally, getting beaten would only ingrain my whole worthlessness deal, but everyone's different.
