what is the safest way to cut yourself?
 

before you guys go apeshit stupid, just let me clarify, i'm not talking suic-emo cutting, i mean cutting for fun. WHICH IS HARMLESS.
to reiterate my thread title,
SAFEST WAY
i know that horizontal is the way to go, but i still dont want to get infections and whatnot
me thinks i'd sterilize everything with alcohol swabs and then everything is free game, but i want to be sure
it seems like instead of digging in a starting point, it's better to sort of push in a flat blade and then swipe it across, debit card style. that actually gets results.
anyways, if anyone has cutting tips id like to hear them.

So you are cutting for the fun of it?

Hmm I don't have tips, but just don't cut too deep, and remember it takes a while for scar tissues to heal.

Re: what is the safest way to cut yourself?
 

The safest way to cut yourself is probably not to cut yourself at all. I'm not sure how this is considered a fun activity. There's also still harm in cutting yourself, regardless of how big or little the cut is. Any open wound on the body can cause harm, and it seems like you're taking precautions by sterilizing, but I'd just say not to even go forward with this, but you're probably going to do what you want.

I don't think your reasoning circumvented the weirdness of it at all. :lolz:

Re: what is the safest way to cut yourself?
 

see, i can't actually recommend cutting oneself, as it is self-destructive

but, i can't really say boozing up, smoking joints, or shooting up, is "good" either.
those are all bad things~
nobody should ever smoke a joint, just like nobody should ever see what cutting themselves is like....

Just get a powerful laser.




Or a really hot knife

Re: what is the safest way to cut yourself?
 

So....what's the point of this again? I mean, what's going to be "fun" about it? I am just curious...

Re: what is the safest way to cut yourself?
 

Smoking a joint every now and again has a lot less risks than getting drunk on alcohol or directly inflicting bodily injury on yourself. I myself can relate to the enjoyment of pain. But generally I find tatoo's and piercings are a much more acceptable way of incurring it. And you have something to show for the pain afterwards other than scars.

Direct self-injurious behavior is not normal. If you want to discuss it, fine, but don't expect anybody here to take you seriously. There are safer ways to have a good time.

Re: what is the safest way to cut yourself?
 

FYI, I'm locking this thread in the off-chance that someone actually posts "safe" ways to cut one's self. Flamb, if you are serious about this compulsion you need to get some professional help. Cutting is means of repressing bad feelings, using physical pain to hide emotional pain, and is not a healthy or safe way to address personal issues.
