  Sadism and masochism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sadism is the sexual pleasure or gratification in the infliction of pain and suffering upon another person.
The counterpart of sadism is masochism, the sexual pleasure or gratification of having pain or suffering inflicted upon the self, often consisting of sexual fantasies or urges for being beaten, humiliated, bound, tortured, or otherwise made to suffer, either as an enhancement to or a substitute for sexual pleasure.
In general, the depiction of sadism and masochism in fiction tends to be portrayed from the viewpoint of masochistic fantasy.

The word is derived from the Marquis de Sade, a prolific French writer of sadistic novels.
The terms sadism and masochism were first used consistently to describe these behaviors by the German psychiatrist Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing in his 1886 book Psychopathia Sexualis, a famous study of sexual perversity.
However, this is an uncommon case, and psychiatrists are now moving towards regarding sadism and masochism as not being regarded as disorders in themselves, but only as disordered when associated with other problems such as a personality disorder.

Hello, my name is Donna Matrix, and welcome to our seminar, "Sadism for Dummies." I know that most of you wouldn't be here if you didn't feel that you possess certain sadistic tendencies already, but quite often people mistake amateur expressions of resentment, sarcastic remarks and petty ego trips for true sadism.
Also, some of you are under the mistaken impression that studying sadism will somehow enable you to acquire riches, glory and fame.
Sadism is also employed to accelerate the equalization of karma, or clarify a muddy situation so that all are humbled before the truly magnificent, amoral workings of nature.

Aug 24: According to the commission investigating the Abu Ghraib prison abuse, the chain of command, all the way to the Pentagon, is at fault for the incidents.
The mistreatment of prisoners, described by the commission as “acts of brutality and purposeless sadism,” would have been avoided with proper training, leadership and oversight, the report said.
In most cases, the abuse was not carried out with the purpose of achieving intelligence from prisoners, Schlesinger said, but by bored soldiers on the nightshift at Abu Ghraib.

 The DVD Maniacs - Forum - 'Shogun's Sadism' ~ Worth a blind buy?
Japan Shock itself claimed on the fl case art for its Shogun's Sadism DVD (http://www.japan-shock.com/hoesjes/...tshogunssad.gif) that the film was "directed by Teruo Ishii", although "Yuji Makiguchi" is "also credited as director".
In reality, the film was solely directed by Yuuji (Y¯uji) Makiguchi; Ishii didn't direct or co-direct it, nor is he credited in it as having done so.
First, in spite of what Japan Shock claimed on the white case art for its Shogun's Sadism DVD (http://www.dvdmaniacs.net/Captures/...adism/cover.jpg), the film's (romanized) Japanese title isn't "Ushiaki No Kei"; rather, it's "Tokugawa onna keibatsu-emaki: ushi-zaki no kei".
