MASOCHISM / MASOCHIST
Signifying the M in BDSM, Masochism is when a person (“masochist”) becomes sexually aroused from receiving consensual physical or psychological pain that is inflicted by another person (usually the Dominant). Typically, the submissive / slave / bottom is the person receiving pain from the Master / Dominant / Top. Masochists may enjoy physical pain such as whipping, spanking, and / or slapping to various parts of their body, among other forms of Discipline experienced in BDSM scenes. This kind of pain may or may not accompany sexual acts and may be an end in and of itself. Psychological pain may include humiliation, degradation, name-calling, and so forth. All BDSM practices must be done with Consent and caution. The term “masochism” is often used alongside “sadism,” whereby a masochistic individual is sexually aroused by having a sadistic individual inflict the aforementioned types of pain on them.
