Erotic Sado

Sadomasochism or Sado refers to deriving pleasure from the fact of being ill-treated during sex. Its antonym is masochism, which entails deriving pleasure from ill-treating oneself or the other person.

Sadomasochism used to be considered as a depraved sexual behavior in the past, but is now considered as a fetish wherein the man or the woman who dominates obtains pleasures when he/she orders and ill-treats the submissive partner, and the submissive partner derives pleasure from being dominated by the domineering partner.

The name sadism comes from Marquis de Sade, in whose works the pleasure of dominating people has been explained. On the other hand “masochism" comes from the writer Leopold Sacher Von Masoch, whose novel Venus in Furs describes a woman who relishes being ill-treated. After the modern-day novel Fifty Shades of Grey there has been a great boom in the practice of what has been come to known as Light Masochism, a lighter version wherein one only shows a domineering attitude without inflicting any real pain. It is just like another fetish to get turned on.
