It is a question for me and something I've thought about and discussed with some. Can a person who does not identify as a maso been "grown" into that role. Can they learn to tolerate more pain? Well, if I was to take it as literal...then I would say that yes, a person can be BORN masochistic. Even at a young age, I always enjoyed pain. I used to go to the South side of Chicago just to see what kind of fights we could into because I liked the pain lol. ( of course, I had a nasty temper too, that might have had something to do with it lol ) Now, through the years, I have learned to like even more pain. My level of tolerance has gone up. Have I ever reached a stage where I had to be taught to tolerate more? Probably, but I could not tell you the times. Everyone has a limit that they reach sooner or later, but I have always enjoyed being pushed past it, just to see if I could. So, I guess in a way...you can be 'taught' also.
