masochistically

Relishing one's torment

In a way that derives pleasure or satisfaction from one's own pain, suffering, or humiliation.

The term extends beyond sexual contexts to describe any self-punishing behavior: She masochistically kept rereading his rejection letter.

Often used with mild irony for ordinary discomforts willingly endured: I masochistically signed up for the 5 a.m. boot camp.
