I agree. A fetish that involves inflicting harmful and painful wounds on either oneself or one's partner is NOT of a sound mind.

Nor is it about sex for that matter, it is either just wanting to torment someone with pain (which is sick and disgusting imo) or it's a self hatered that has reached a dangerous level. There is no love or intimacy involved in it.

An earlier comment mentions blood play, and that is not the same. Blood play is when you try to minimize the pain involved, and it's similar to rape play in that it is a show of trust more then anything. Completely exposing your weakness to your partner to show your love and trust, and by living up to that trust he in turn shows his love. It's a touchy subject, but if done right can really bring to people a lot closer.

This is a simplified description of it all though, it is such a complex subject that it's hard to put into proper words. In the discussion of the earlier comment I mentioned I posted a link to a work I've written on another site. In that work I've included rape play, domanance play and a little blood play, and I think that story does a better job at describing how they 'work' (so to speak) then any description I can give here.
