But why?
Culinary pursuit!
That's an interesting way of spelling masochism haha
You can get a sort of “high” from it. The feeling when you are sweating from some demonic hot wings can be mind altering in a fun way.
Also tasty. Ghosts have a bit of sweetness to them. Would pair nice with chocolate. Habeneros and mangos are a pair like peanut butter and jelly. Or Carolina reaper in a block of nice cheese, so good.
I am also a masochist though, so YMMV. I could give the same explanation for why I used to let guys whip me on weekends.
Well, at least for me, it isn't actually something I'm actively pursuing. I like spicey things that have a kick, but you get used to the heat, so you gotta turn up the heat for the same experience. I guess in that aspect, it's kinda like drugs.
