Corporal Punishment is clearly an unnecessary and avoidable pain IF … behaving in a certain way with the foreknowledge that it would otherwise be evoked.

From this standpoint, SCP is self-inflicted pain, as a conscious decision is usually made to act in a way that has the expectation of being applied.

However, putting that aside it is a pain clearly inflicted by someone else in a position to do so and differs from the self-inflicted pains from cycling, for example.
