Sadomasochism: broadly refers to the receiving of pleasure—often sexual—from acts involving the infliction or reception of pain or humiliation; a subset of BDSM, practitioners of sadomasochism usually seek out sexual gratification from these acts, but often seek out other forms of pleasure as well; the terms sadist and masochist specifically refer to one who either enjoys giving pain (sadist), or one who enjoys receiving pain (masochist), many practitioners of sadomasochism describe themselves as at least somewhat of a switch, or someone who can receive pleasure from either inflicting or receiving pain (also see: BDSM, bondage, discipline, dominant, masochism, sadism, submissive)
