Do sadism and masochism causes harm to the brain?


Do sadism and masochism causes harm to the brain?
----------

I doubt in any way that would be serious. Maybe if you are into that type of thing in a very negative way, then this could possibly affect the brain...but I highly doubt that being a sadist or masochist would damage your brain.  (+ info)

why are sadism and masochism considered disorders?


sadism and masochism are supposedly "unnatural" thats supposedly why they are disorders..
being with a lot of ppl at once, or in a short amount of time( wich a lot of ppl do and think its cool) is also unnatural.. so howcome sadism is considered a disorder and thats not? i mean i kno theirs a limit to everything, and extreme sadism should be considered a disorder. but why is sadism and masochsim considered a disorder?
----------

Consensual sadomasochism is no longer considered a disorder according to the American Psychiatric Association.  (+ info)

What is with the sadism present in media?


I realize that many people are simply voyeurs, but how can one explain the current increase in hostile reporting against celebrities and royals? Why is it so fashionable and fun to ruin peoples lives, especially people whom we love or are in authority over us?
----------

Put simply, it makes us feel a little bit better about our own sad little lives. It gives us the false impression of having an opinion that counts, when ours happens to coincide with the that of the media in their latest campaign against...whoever. It doesn't matter. It makes us feel morally superior, to see for example a celeb falling out of a nightclub at 3am obviously worse for wear. We tell ourselves we are better behaved. Yeah, right! What it comes down to is that during a recession more and more people are looking for something to make them feel better about the whole sorry mess. And celeb-bashing is the "in" way to do it. It's cheap, easy and everyone has an opinion, so it's easy to feel included in a way some people don't in their real life.
Anyway, that's enough of a rant against popular celebrity culture!
I'm off to read another celeb magazine...not!  (+ info)

How widespread is sadism among the ruling classes?


By "sadism" I don't mean dressing up in latex/leather/chains/etc and playing strange little games with some other consenting adult in the privacy of one's own boudoir. I mean sadism in the psychopathological sense - truly enjoying causing and/or witnessing the suffering of others. And I am not implying by any means that *everyone* in the ruling classes is sadistic - there are clearly compassionate people within those ranks. But there have been certain things going on for which the easiest explanation is the existence of what we might call a "sadistocracy"... After all, wouldn't a psychopathological sadist *try* to get as much power as possible, in order to inflict pain on the greatest number of people possible, even entire nations? I'm also not suggesting that there aren't other sadists operating under other guises in other cultures, there clearly are. But here, we might have unwittingly elected some of them to office...
----------

Why do you ask a question if you already have formulated your answer?

I'd say it was kind of sadistic of you to draw me in with a question, only to have me snared into reading your flights of ideas....

Is sexual sadism/masochism different than sadistic/masochistic behavior in non-sexual conditions?


According to Psychology, what is the difference among people who practice sadism/masochism in the sexual intercourse to people who behave like that in other aspects of their life?

*I'd appreciate if you share the resources.
----------

Yes, there are differences.

Sadists like or have a need to inflict pain, humiliation and shame, while masochists like or need to have pain, shame, degradation inflicted opn them.

Some marriages operate this way and it's not about the sex, though sex can be included as part of the behaviors. Surprisingly, many abusive/sadistic husbands can be tender and giving during lovemaking. Sometimes it's the only time they are nice to their wives, but when wives depend on that affection, husbands often cut them off or find a lover.  (+ info)

Does tickling have a link to masochism or sadism?


I suppose it could be tied into both, but which one do you think that it's more focused around?
----------

In some cases it does but not all. I am a life long practitioner of "tickle torture" who also has experience in the world of BDSM. Sadly, few people in the BDSM community put any stock in tickling. This is unfortunate as it can be highly effective in the S&M aspects of the genre. Many fail to realize how potent it can be. Personally I feel the two can be blended beautifully when a skilled practitioner is involved. I've managed to do this multiple times myself with great success. There are others out there who feel the same as I do. The truth is both erotic sadists and masochists can enjoy and benefit from "tickle torture". The masochist can attain the stimulus they require by being restrained and tickled mercilessly. Likewise the erotic sadist can derive pleasure from dispensing such a ruthless tickling. I've known several submissives/masochists who have had truly remarkable experiences at the hands of a skillful tickler. As for myself I can say that I love nothing more than practicing my craft on a willing submissive. It's most enjoyable. This is not to say that all "tickle torture" falls into the realm of sadomasochism. Some people simply just like a good tickling. I've known people who fall into this category and a I'm always more than happy to oblige them. Sometimes it's just a fun activity to engage in. In short a link certainly does exist but not in every instance. Just as not all tickling lovers are also into BDSM.  (+ info)
