lol indeed. People can desire things they don't actually want, but will compartmentalize things into places where it is safe and acceptable. If you get pleasure from pain, humiliation or domination what are you supposed to do until you've dealt with it? Lol. You invite the sadists in...that's exactly what happens.
So if the act of hurting someone brings me no pleasure, but a masochist's reaction to pain does, am I a sadist?
Like the first time a girl asked me to spank her, and I said, "yeah, sure, whatever" Then I spanked her and she winced in pain and moaned at the same time, and I got very aroused.
Does that make me a sadist or just a pervert?
