The self floggers you mean.
I gave up smoking because of something related to a pretty blonde kissing an ashtray. So I had to stand up to my bluff and had to quit smoking, and that's it (I think I won after all, even if she did not kiss me than or ever will, maybe, who knows). I gave up eating (except nourishment of course) to get back in shape, I gave up drinking to give moral support to a dear friend struggling against it. Than I found out that giving up drinking did a lot of good to my taste buds and weight loss, and that giving up smoking made me a free man again. And losing weight has been a great joy. And now I do not want to give up those silly games. Why should I ?
Obviously I am a very weak person regarding my tender spots (that is why I mentioned the gender labyrinth)
