What are people called that cut for pleasure?

What disorder/title would you give a person who cut themselves for pleasure? Is there a name for that? Not cutting in an ‘emo’ way so to speak, just for enjoying the pain and appearance of wounds. Some kind of masochism?

Answer #1

Honestly, people who cut do it for a bunch of reasons (even those who are depressed, once addicted will do it just because). It is like alcohol and cigarettes. All three things are addictive. And so yeah, you can do it for ‘fun’ but really you’re getting the same effect. There’s no name for it. Still a cutter…

Answer #2

My husband is a ‘’fun’’ cutter. It’s like alcohol or cigarettes. He does it for a high, not a relief. There’s not a term for it other than a ‘’cutter’’ as far as I know.

Answer #3

There’s no actual title for that. They havent even come up with a name for cutters, let alone the specific type of cutting you’re describing. What exactly does cutting in an ‘emo’ way mean anyways? As compared to this type of cutting?

Answer #4

Some people call it ‘self mutilating’..

Answer #5

It’s not because you’re depressed or emotional in any way, it’s more just for.. almost fun?
