In On Abuse, the concept of abuse is: the behavior of the subject hurting the object. The subject of abuse is the executor of abuse, the active attacker of the whole abuse activity, and the general source of pain, belonging to the category of "sadism" The object of abuse is the receiver of abuse, the passive receiver in the whole abuse activity, the embodiment of the abuse result, and belongs to the category of "masochism", which is the premise of their mutual existence. When "sadist" and "masochist" belong to two different "entities" respectively, such abusive behavior is called masochism; When "sadist" and "masochist" belong to the same "entity", such abuse is called self-abuse. Specifically, the concept of self-abuse is an act of hurting oneself and an abuse of subject and object. It belongs to the act of creating pain and accepting pain, that is, the abuser is also the abuser, and the abuser is also the abuser. In human society, self-mutilation, self-injury and suicide are all masochistic behaviors. This phenomenon is very common. In economic activities, some people hurt themselves and beg, some people hurt themselves to get insurance, and some people sell their body organs. In the honor festival, there are martyrs who died for love, filial sons who gouged out their eyes and cut off their livers, and warriors who committed suicide by cutting their stomachs. In the exchange of feelings, there are self-torture of unrequited love, and there are also fans waiting hard. In the pursuit of beauty, there are beautiful women with long necks, abnormally painful foot-binding, and horribly thin; In terms of gameplay, there are explosive death games, explosive drugs and alcohol abuse. In superstitious beliefs, there are martyrs and self-honed ascetics. Among the customs and habits, there are "circumcision" that destroys people, grooms that are voluntarily beaten, and cruel martyrdom.

Self-abuse is universal and diverse. Self-abuse can be divided into active self-abuse and passive self-abuse according to people's willingness to accept.

Active self-abuse refers to the willing, voluntary and conscious self-abuse behavior of the abused. In fact, this kind of abused people are willing, conscious and active, accounting for a small proportion of the whole abuse, and most of the abuse belongs to passive abuse. Active self-abuse can be divided into active self-abuse and passive self-abuse according to its influence on society. Active self-abuse refers to those active self-abuse behaviors that have positive education and influence on society. In wartime, inspired by patriotism and nationalism, people defended their homeland, expelled foreign humiliation, bravely followed others, and were not afraid of sacrifice. They joined the death squad and launched a suicide attack. This kind of behavior of sacrificing oneself for truth and justice and heroic dedication is welcomed, advocated and appreciated for the dignity and interests of the country and the nation, although it contains positive and conscious elements of self-abuse. For another example, the "head hanging beam and stabbing stocks" for striving for success, the "service courage" for tempering the will and the "chastity woman" for honor belong to this kind of self-abuse behavior of popularization, advocacy and appreciation. These are all active self-abuse behaviors. Passive active self-abuse refers to those active self-abuse behaviors that have negative education and influence on society. They are unwelcome, rejected, alternative and morbid self-abuse. The article "Hip itch" in "Collection of Burial Sorrow" records that Gu of Yao Zhuang has been an official for generations and is used to a rich and prosperous life. Suddenly one day, the servant was forced to take a bamboo board and hit his ass twenty times. I got used to it later. The servant was unhappy when he hit it lightly, and shouted happily when he hit it heavily. Tianjin Youth Daily once published a report: Recently, this appalling murder and dismemberment case occurred in rothenburg, Germany, and the victim's body was eaten. But even more bizarre is that the victim actually saw the advertisement posted by the cannibal on the Internet and voluntarily became the object of being eaten. It was by chance that the police saw Amin's latest advertisement on the Internet and successfully cracked this bizarre murder case. The police said that although the victim was voluntary, the prosecution accused Amin of murder. At present, the police believe that when Amin advertised for hunting for the first time in 200 1, brandes and other five people responded to his "call", but the police have no evidence to prove that several others were also eaten. This kind of masochism or masochism that is willing to be eaten by others is really rare. Most masochists who like masochism exist in people with sexual deviation. They are a group that voluntarily and consciously accepts abuse. As early as the end of 17, there were commercial services of sexual abuse in Britain, namely brothels and prostitutes specializing in sexual flogging. The masochists offered a lot of money here and enjoyed the long-awaited flogging and beating. /kloc-in the 0 th and 8 th centuries, there was a famous sex flogging brothel in London. Its boss is called Berkeley. She designed a whipping machine called Bekele Trojan Horse. It allows the whipped person to choose any angle and posture. Masochists flocked to hear the news. This kind of morbid sexual abuse or masochism is hard to appreciate and advocate.

There are probably two kinds of active self-abuse, one is self-abuse, which generally accounts for the majority. In order to pursue instant pleasure, masochists in sexual deviation tighten their necks during masturbation to make themselves in a state of mild suffocation to increase sexual pleasure, which may eventually lead to "sex hanging" And taking drugs, smoking, drinking, etc. It's all asking for pain The other is that they consciously and voluntarily accept the self-abuse behavior that others hurt themselves. This kind of active self-abuse is generally the majority. This kind of abuse behavior includes: begging others to mutilate their limbs, defrauding insurance or begging for food in exchange for money; Voluntary castration as a eunuch or operation as a shemale for the sake of success; In order to be beautiful, all kinds of cruel plastic surgery were carried out, among which Zhou Yu's allusion to Huang Gai in the Three Kingdoms period was famous. In order to defeat Cao Cao, Zhou Yu, commander-in-chief of the State of Wu, discussed with Huang Gai the implementation risks. Zhou Yu beat up Huang Gai in public, creating an excuse for Huang Gai to "defect to the enemy" and finally winning by burning the camp.

Passive self-abuse means that you are forced to agree to harm yourself. Passive self-abuse can be roughly divided into helpless passive self-abuse and accidental passive self-abuse. Helpless passive self-abuse refers to self-abuse without consciousness, will or coercion. Specifically, the abused person is not really willing, but forced by some social environment, some interests or some power, so he has to agree to accept or have no choice. According to the legend of Song charm, there was a small country in ancient times. Except the king, the whole country drank the water from the "crazy spring", and the whole country went crazy. People in China say that the king is not crazy but crazy, so * * * seeks to help the king treat his madness, pricks moxa and makes the king suffer unbearable pain, so people in China have to stand by and drink a few mouthfuls of water, so the monarch and his subjects practise fraud, and everyone is happy. Helpless passive self-abuse is essentially an element of "other abuse" and belongs to disguised self-abuse This kind of helpless passive self-abuse behavior is huge in scale, varied, concealed, difficult to be found, and often has social popularity. It involves a huge crowd and leads to an uncontrollable trend. This social trend has not only social acquiescence, appreciation and support, but also the temptation of fame and fortune, which few people can ignore. For example, women's foot binding was popular in old China, women's martyrdom was popular in India, and female circumcision was also popular in Africa. The party concerned is unwilling to accept harm, but the relatives and friends of the party concerned coerce, help or personally torture and abuse the party concerned for the future and interests of the party concerned, which belongs to the self-abuse concept of "one's own abuse of one's own". Most of this helpless and passive self-abuse behavior is a disguised self-abuse behavior carried out by "one of our own" for a certain purpose with their own consent, and only a few are self-abuse behaviors.

Accidental passive self-abuse means that the abused do not really know and understand the essence and consequences of abuse, but pursue and obtain the beauty, pleasure or recognition of others brought about by abuse. This kind of self-abuse includes smoking, taking drugs, drinking, taking sex drugs and so on. Some self-mutilation and suicide caused by ignorance also belong to this accidental passive self-abuse. For example, Fuzhou Evening News revealed that Chu, who was only in his twenties, was drunk a few days ago and actually waved a kitchen knife and cut off the three fingers of his left hand. According to the Yangzi Evening News, Yuan Mou, a villager in Bird Village, Xiaoyinzhuang Township, Baoying County, was involved in a cult, claiming that he had sworn before God that he could not have sex with his wife. In order to realize his oath, he thinks it is always a "curse" to keep his genitals. While his family was unprepared, he picked up scissors and cut off his penis. There are also some self-abuse behaviors that are accidental passive self-abuse. For example, the abused person knows that certain behaviors or sports will bring disability or fatal consequences, and he is lucky to think that this can be avoided. For example, disabilities in extreme sports, polar exploration, life-threatening activities and so on fall into this category.
