Masochistic

Masochism is a psychosexual disorder in which an individual feels pleasure or sexual arousal when experiencing pain, self-harm or being harmed by someone else. The person who indulges in this behavior is referred to as a masochist. In simpler terms, it involves the psychological experience of deriving gratification from pain or humiliation, either inflicted by oneself or by others. However, it is important to note that not all masochistic tendencies are sexual in nature, and the concept can also manifest in non-sexual contexts. This behavior is considered abnormal and may impact an individual’s mental health, and in many cases, requires professional intervention to overcome.
