I think that's why I enjoy playing football so much. Not organized football, but you just get a bunch of guys together, find a field, and go out and play with no pads. I want to get hit or hit someone. Makes no difference to me. I'm usually not into it until the first hit. There have been times where I've gotten jacked up by someone who weighs 100 lbs more than me. But you always have to pop back up like it didn't hurt. That pisses them off even more.

I got a light taste of that rush when I studied karate and a bit stronger taste when I played paintball. Feeling a length of rattan slamming into your opponent lets you know you've won a contest in a way that you cannot forget.
You need to try playing football then. Truse me, you'll have many more bruises. Only drawback is that since you're playing without pads and helmets, there's greater risk of injury. The reason I hadn't played in so long was because I had to get 13 stitches under my eye last time I played. And since I don't have health insurance, that's $1500 that came out of my own pocket. I took a few years off after that, but had to go back again.
