I once discussed the subject of masochism with a friend. He compared
the feeling of pleasure pain by saying, "It's like a boil." He went on
to say that when a boil is popped "it hurts but there's also
pleasure."
Has anyone else had experience with boils? Does it feel good to
pop them?

A boil presses on surrounding tissue and stretches overlying skin
painfully. Opening the boil relieves this, so while it hurts briefly
to do so, the pain is accompanied by relief of the other pain. I
suppose you could call this pleasure, but it's more the pleasure/relief
of when you stop hitting your head with a hammer.
