The Comfy Corner

Things that hurt, but we do them anyway. Oftentimes we do these things because the aftereffects are totally worth it. Or we do them because it's pleasureful at the time but we know we'll have to suffer the consequences later. Warning: some of these may apply only to me.

1) Listerine - It burns oh so good and the refreshing aftereffect is totally worth the pain.

2) Scratching bug bites - We know that scratching only makes it worse, but we do it anyway because it feels orgasmic.

3) Going to the gym - For some reason we like to torture ourselves. We sweat and burn and our heart hurts and we get pains in our sides and we get cramps and we are sore for the next week, but our doctor tells us we should do this 5 times a week. And we do it and we get addicted.

4) Plucking hair - We pluck because we care. We care so much in fact that we will rip the protein out of our bodies, making us tear up a bit and leaving a red mark (and sometimes drawing blood).

5) Popping pimples - It hurts, research shows it isn't good, but we do it anyway.

6) Holding in pee just to feel the release - Sometimes when I'm at work and I have to pee, I'll wait until the last possible moment just so I can feel the release. Just me?

7) Anal sex - ouch.

8) Poking bruises and injuries - We know it'll hurt, but for some reason we are fascinated with our wounds. Perhaps it is our way of making sure everything is still working correctly.

9) Going to see bad musical theatre - Probably one of the most painful/fulfilling things on this list thus far. Sometimes you just crave meaningless belting, Andrew Lloyd Webber awfulness, and sparkly costumes.

10) Drinking heavily - Despite the horrible hangover, the puking, the poor decisions, the black outs, the accidental skull and cross-bones tattoos on our faces, we still get drunk the next night.
