If this is the study I’m remembering and not a replication, they mentioned that many of the participants who chose to be shocked (which could just be curiosity) even went back for more afterward because they were bored.
I can easily see myself doing this, and in fact I once got a shock pen as a prank gift and it captivated my circle of male friends for two straight weeks, just shocking ourselves for fun
I mean one of my favorite episodes of The Modern Rogue is the one about the “Milwall brick” or whatever it’s called, where Brian and Jason just hit each other with rolled up newspapers. It’s the guyest thing ever recorded on video.
Yeah, I’d totally do that too. Out of curiosity, not boredom.

i feel like there’s a thin line between “this hurts, fuck this” and “this hurts, let’s do it again!”

They’re testing to see if it shocks every time, or if the intensity changes between shocks.
