see, i can't actually recommend cutting oneself, as it is self-destructive

but, i can't really say boozing up, smoking joints, or shooting up, is "good" either.
those are all bad things~
nobody should ever smoke a joint, just like nobody should ever see what cutting themselves is like....

Smoking a joint every now and again has a lot less risks than getting drunk on alcohol or directly inflicting bodily injury on yourself. I myself can relate to the enjoyment of pain. But generally I find tatoo's and piercings are a much more acceptable way of incurring it. And you have something to show for the pain afterwards other than scars.

Direct self-injurious behavior is not normal. If you want to discuss it, fine, but don't expect anybody here to take you seriously. There are safer ways to have a good time.

FYI, I'm locking this thread in the off-chance that someone actually posts "safe" ways to cut one's self. Flamb, if you are serious about this compulsion you need to get some professional help. Cutting is means of repressing bad feelings, using physical pain to hide emotional pain, and is not a healthy or safe way to address personal issues.
