at what point does sex or even masturbation stop being about pleasure and become self harm? I once asked a pdoc when I had the chance (I was in the hospital for kidney problems). I explained what I did, how often, how much etcetera. I have had sex before as well continually to the point it was painful to get an erection for the next two weeks. I have done this both with intercourse, and masturbation.

I went into considerably more detail for the pdoc I was asking, and I was basically told that the extremes I was going to was indeed harmful enough to be considered self harm.

am I the only one?
