Yeah, it sucks but there’s a good reason for it. Say you put your hand on a hot stove. If your nerves didn’t make it hurt you probably wouldn’t move your hand. You might as well say good-bye to your hand.

Answer #2

It’s your body way of telling you that what’s happening is not good. It’s self maintenance system. xD If the signal for pain was pleasurable, that would be like your body asking you to continue getting hurt. Some people feel enjoyment in pain. These are people who’s ‘fantasies’ primarily sexually related, involves the use of role play and predominantly involves the infliction of pain, both mental/emotional/motivational also called (psychological arousal) But their body is working properly inflicting pain, but their psychological profile is different then others’ people who respond to pain negatively.
