how can pain be an enjoyable experience for some? such as sadomazo and people who self inflict & cut themself?

Question:

Answers:
Sadomasachism is a pleasure/pain situation, and it's mostly soft-core -- putting on a blindfold, light spankings or whippings, things like that. If's not about the pain, really, more like giving yourself up completely to your lover.

Cutting oneself is a different thing entirely. It is a mechanism by which people believe they can forget their problems. The idea is that if you cut yourself, the pain is (theoretically) more than their emotional pain, and they'll be able to focus on the physical pain and forget, for awhile, their emotional pain. Its also a method of demonstrating self-hate.

Sadomasochists don't need help (generally); consenting adults can act out their fantasies as they wish.

Cutters, however, need psychological help, because they're clearly in a deeply harmful emotional state.

self inflicting cutters don't do it cause it's the funnest thing in town. it's a release. physical pain is what i can handle when the emotional pain is too great.

It distracts them from all their emotional pain. It's a coping mechanism, it's the only thing they know to do.

These people do it to release inner pain. Many of them are depressed and just asking for attention.

First of all, people who self-inflict aren't doing it because it's pleasurable. It's a way to physically manifest emotional pain. As for S&M, it releases chemicals that makes it very enjoyable to the participants.
