"Experimental animal studies have documented counterparts to these phenomena. For example, animals deprived of somatosensory stimulation will engage in mutilations of their own bodies. Animals deprived of touching early in life develop impaired pain perception and an aversion to being touched by others. They are thus blocked from experiencing the body-pleasure therapy that they need for rehabilitation. In this condition, they have few alternatives but physical violence, where pain-oriented touching and body contact is facilitated by their impaired ability to experience pain. Thus, physical violence and physical pain become therapies of choice for those deprived of physical pleasure."

Begs the question, is suppression of sexuality resulting in young people deliberately injuring themselves like laboratory animals do when deprived of physical stimulation?
 
Read Harry Harlow and google images. He was one really sick bastard and indefensible experiments like his are still being done today.
 
A girl I know used to cut her arms with beer bottle caps. I figured it was a consequence of the physical abuse she suffered as a child.
