It can definitely release tension. But I alone have a number of reasons I do it. I'm sure that among all self injurers, the reasons are legion.
Right now, my urges are building. I suspect it has something to do with going off Depakote (with my pdoc's blessing) a couple of weeks ago. The resulting itchy crawly feeling of overstimulation is causing me urges. If it gets any worse, I'm going back on the Depakote.
If you want more information on self injury, I really recommend the site:
