Psychologists still haven't come to grips with the BDSM community nor the lifestyle!. Don't take tests like this seriously, and don't let it worry you!. The test was designed by the vanilla world for the vanilla world!.

It really depends!. If you purposely misbehave in order to receive some punishment, or if you get the same out of punishment as you do when you cause self harm, then yes it counts!. It's not so much receiving the punishment that matters, but more what you go through when you receive it or how you go about receiving it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hm thats a good question actually, because yes, the dom is inflicting the pain, but because you want them to! I guess in a way its kind of self-harm, but indirectly, whereas taking a blade to your own skin would be direct self-harm!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Self harm is harm that you inflict on yourself!. If your Dom is inflicting harm, then the answer is no!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No I would not consider it self-harm!. That's almost like saying football players get injured sometimes on the field, is that self-harm!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
