To clarify, I'm not talking about the "bad boy who is good to his gf" lovers or even the "thrill" of the highs and lows. I'm talking about pure masochism, like people who genuinely love the hurt. Not just BDSM and stuff, actual hurt. Because I'm sure some people are secretly attracted to that, and I've heard people confessing it on the internet. Also, although the post says women, I'd also be interested to hear it from men like this as well.
