ORIGINAL: AthenaSurrenders Serious question: is there a point where body modification goes beyond 'personal expression of identity' into 'probable mental illness'? Forgive me, I can't think of a way of phrasing that which doesn't sound judgmental, but I am genuinely curious. He said something about him getting more pleasure out of his modification than the relatively short pleasure of 15 minutes of sex would give him. I don't want to go back and watch it again to get the quote. I am at a loss as to what pleasure it can give him. It can't be easy to live with that. Walking, sitting, even turning over in bed has got to be difficult. He admitted he had to figure out a position just so he could pee. I won't go so far as to say he is mentally ill. However, I just don't understand why someone would even think of doing that to their body. When and how does one start to think that their genitals would look and be great if they were freaky looking and unusable for their intended use?
