Sadomasochism
A Better Sex Definition: Sadomasochism is a consensual activity that combines the complimentary sadistic (sexual arousal from inflicting pain) and masochistic (sexual arousal from receiving pain)sexual behavioral patterns. The main characteristic of sadomasochism is the eroticizing of pain. What appears to the outsider to be painful, even very painful, is experienced as somewhat painful but mostly pleasurable and very sexually arousing to all parties involved in the activity.

Sadomasochistic sexual encounters usually occur in the context of scripted scenes that simulate interactions between master or mistress and slave, employer and servant-maid, teacher and student, owner and horse or dog, and parent and child.

Although sadomasochistic acts in their extreme forms can be physically and psychologically dangerous, the majority of people engaging in these behaviors do so with an understanding of the risks and stay within carefully predetermined limits using "safe words" to stop the activities.
