Is it normal my friend is a masochist.
Ok, so I have this friend who is like family to me. Someone I always watch out for so recently I've discovered this thing he's into. He's a masochist that is really into being abused by pretty girls. He likes it when they hit him, verbally abuse him, and have sort of a sadistic streak. More recently when we were out hanging with a group of people he actually purposely pissed off one of the more hotter girls there just to get her to slap him and curse him out. Made me realize that he's got this desire that is obviously stronger than I thought. He's the kind of guy you'd never expect to be into things that are out of the norm but also never was particularly aware enough of it to explore them. That recent incident got that girl to hate him and some people are thinking he's just an asshole which in reality he's not. I've never seen him get like that before. The guy's like a brother to me and I want to help him out before he might do anything stupid and he's too ashamed to go for any kind of advice or help. For anyone who maybe deals with a similar fetish what's the best way to go about it because our friend hasn't been himself lately and we're worried about him.
