Worldcongress of the Hedonist International

At an event devoted to pleasure, why would one choose to suffer? Voluntary suffering can give us intense stimulation, insight into our psyches, and a sense of agency over the involuntary suffering that we all inevitably experience. This workshop will explore intentional suffering as a radical act of self-determination. After a brief philosophical introduction, we will help attendees subject themselves to various forms of pain — physical, psychological, and social. Come join us for a bad time.
