Have you ever had to dig a splinter out of your skin, remove an ingrown toenail or squeeze a boil until it bursts? is that splinter/nail/boil.
Yes, I have had to do several of those things... I don't see the pain involved in those actions, just a quick rush of endorphins and the relief I'll get from them. Those are necessary actions.
He mentioned no rush or relief after performing the painful action. Thus it is one he shouldn't do.
