rev limiter question???

I know that hitting the rev limiter insnt exactly good for the car..but does it reach a point where after hitting the rev limiter too many times that something will break or start to malfunction?? Ive got my automagic shifting down pretty good but it still seems I get carried away while racing and hit my rev limiter to often..I just wanna know if doing this is definitly gonna break somethin OR is that the whole purpose of the rev limiter in the first place(so I wont break something)???? I know...I need more practice

Well i dont think it should do much cause the rev limiter is electronically controlled, all it is doing is cutting back on the fuel when you get to that point.
