Self-punishment is punishment that is inflicted by oneself. Self-punishment comes in different forms and for very different motives, such as:
Religious self-punishment
Examples of religious self-punishment:
- Self-flagellation
- Cilice
- Self-imposed chores
- Self-imposed repetitions of prayers
- Sleep deprivation
See also Mortification of the flesh.
Erotic self-punishment
Many BDSM toys and forms of BDSM play designed to bring pain or discomfort can be easily used on oneself, such as
- Nipple clamps
- Clothespins
- Floggers and other implements, see also self-spanking
- Wax play
- Ice
- Genitorture
- Butt plugs
- Enemas
- Mental bondage (e.g. standing oneself into the corner for a designated period of time)
- Orgasm denial (chastity belts)
Pathologic self-punishment
Deliberate self-harm (self-injury or self-poisoning) is defined as the intentional, direct injuring of body tissue without suicidal intent. Unlike BDSM play which follows the SSC principle, these are neither safe (injury results) nor are they done for erotic pleasure. Typical forms are:
- skin cutting
- burning
- scratching
- banging or hitting body parts
- interfering with wound healing
- hair pulling or Trichotillophilia
- the ingestion of toxic substances or objects
Self-harm is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) as a symptom of borderline personality disorder. However patients with other diagnoses may also self-harm, including those with depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and several personality disorders.
