Abrasions
An abrasion is a wounded area on the skins surface caused by the wearing away or rubbing of skin cells. In BDSM, abrasions can be made in many ways, I.E. rugburn. Although it is part of Sado-masochism, it is much harder to turn pain into pleasure when the result of the action is a wound (to me). However, amny are able to do this and enjoy it. To make the decision of introducing actual wounding into play is solely your decision, remember, your limits are your limits. As goes for any other play in BDSM.
Scratching
Scratching is much like abrasions, however, a scratch usually only takes one motion to create the wound. It will usually leave a mark for a couple of days or so. The stigma attatched to scratches is the superficial wounding, giving the feeling or rush of fantasy abuse, but not leaving any permanent damage.
