I'm sorry? How does that contradict " little emotional control "? It most often does, however. Secondly, there remains risk of infection or death with cutting. BDSM rarely gets to that point AFAIK(which is very little admittedly). You don't have to have suicide in mind to nick an artery, and it's really easy to do when cutting yourself regularly with a knife.Neither of these are accurate statements though.
It's common for instance in adult sufferers of bipolar disease.
In addition, cutting isn't done with suicide in mind and it doesn't even have to occur on the wrists
It negates "teens." I don't think you know enough about BDSM in order to be accurate in your statements. I'm familiar enough with it to know that plenty of it involves breaking the skin, risking as much infection / if not more (another partner = foreign bodily fluids, spit semen whatever, that are full of foreign bacteria).
It's still minor in comparison to cutting.I'm familiar enough with it to know that plenty of it involves breaking the skin, risking as much infection / if not more (another partner = foreign bodily fluids, spit semen whatever, that are full of foreign bacteria).
How? In cutting you are directly cutting yourself, multiple times with a knife blade. You can very easily hit an artery while doing so. A whip, however, is not likely to do so, and will probably leave no more than surface scratches. Secondly, cutting still hints at underlying issues that need to be solved. BDSM does not.
