Is it normal to like feeling pain?

Depends.It depends

Yes, some people enjoy certain kinds of pain, especially when it’s mild, controlled, or part of consensual intimacy. What matters is whether it’s safe and something you genuinely want—not pain that’s harming you or feels hard to control.

People can enjoy pain for different reasons: it may feel intense or satisfying, or be part of consensual sexual play. Liking a sensation doesn’t automatically mean anything is wrong with you, and people vary a lot in what feels good or unpleasant.

The important line is safety and consent. Don’t push through serious or unexplained pain, and take it seriously if you feel driven to injure yourself or can’t stop even when you want to. If that’s what you mean, talking with someone you trust or a mental health professional could help.
