The mixture of pain and pleasure has been something exploited for so long. Think about violent Horror movies like Hostel where the aspect of sex is completely mixed into an endless blood bath. I think because of the fact that humans do have an innate attraction to both violence and sex, the media is able to exploit this side of humans for their profit. Like you said, it often does seem contradictory. <br /><br />Let me use an illustration to further my point. When someone gets a bruise for some reason, it's quite painful right? But, for some strange reason, it feels good to kind of push down on the bruise. Or in sexual intercourse, lines between pleasure and pain are quite intermixed. Although this usually is applied to the female, the act of intercourse is said to pleasurable, but even slightly painful.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654674408043954454noreply@blogger.com
