Digglett, the cutting Pigtails is talking about is as a sexual act and you'd be careful not to leave scars. Think of it in a similar way as people who've had themselves hung from the ceiling on flesh hooks and other stuff like that.

I don't know if I would call it sexual per se. Some people view kink as sexual (like me) others see it as something outside of that. When I said "get off" I used the term loosely. But yes, Aeth gets the overall gist of what I'm trying to say.
People in the community here are very careful, and anytime there's any cutting or other sort of knife play like I described earlier at a play party, as soon as the scene is finished the alcohol comes out and the cuts/scratches get nice and disinfected. Plus scars are only left behind if you cut really deep, and most people have educated themselves enough to know how deep you can go without scarring. Emo cutters view their scars as almost like a badge of honor. Kinksters try to avoid scars whenever possible. And as I said earlier, most kinksters are going to be smart enough to cut themselves in places that are easily hidden by clothes, like the upper thigh. Cutting your forearms is just stupid.
