Best Answer

Self mutilation has been going on for a long time. Self-mutilation was sometimes a part of rituals in ancient cultures. In the mid-600 BCE the Mayan's had a ritual that involved the rulers cutting themselves. Blood was associated with rain in their culture so by drawing blood from either their tongues, genitals, ears or cheeks was a sacrifice to the gods so that the earth would be bountiful.
