Entry overview: Sexual abuse (English: sado masochism, abbreviation: SM), generally refers to sexual abuse disorder, and refers to the consciousness and behavior related to sadism and masochism. It is a special activity in which sexual pleasure and pain are linked together, that is, the sexual activity that obtains sexual pleasure through pain. The pain includes both physical pain (such as the pain caused by whipping) and mental pain (such as the painful feeling caused by humiliation and domination). Sadomasochism also includes two categories of sadism and masochism. Inflicting pain can lead to one's own sexual pleasure, arousal, or pure pleasure belongs to the former, and accepting pain can lead to one's own satisfaction belongs to the latter.

Definition of words
The English word for "sadism" is "sadomasochism", which is a compound word of both sadism and masochism, so sadomasochism is more commonly referred to informally as "SM".
Although the unofficial term for "sadism" is SM. However, since the common sadomasochistic activities in a broad sense may also involve binding, whipping or other forms of discipline (Bondage & Discipline), the general formal name BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, masochism) is a multi-meaning, A mixture of acronyms to refer to. Some people also directly expanded the use, and called the "BDSM" activity on behalf of the "sadistic" activity.
word origin
S is an informal abbreviation for sadism: it refers to a French 18th-century marquis named Sade, who liked to abuse women in his life. There are a lot of descriptions of sexual perversion in his works, so later scholars put the initiative Sadism, that is, like to abuse others, is named Sadism, or sadism.
M is an unofficial abbreviation for masochism: a 19th-century Austrian novelist named Marsock, himself a passive sadist, described many of these perverted sexual activities in his writings. Therefore, passive sadism was named Masochism, or masochism.

masochism
It is generally believed that the source of pleasure for the abused is not those "pain", but those tender caresses that are more prominently set off, just like the cocoa or the sugar added to the coffee will be particularly sweet. The best evidence is that they often mix these gentle touches into their abusive movements. The abuser, on the other hand, obtains indirect pleasure by enhancing the pleasure of the abuser. In addition, they are more prone to role-playing during sex. Another group of common Chinese translations of "sadism" and "masochism" are easily misleading, making people wonder whether such behaviors (hobbies) are necessarily related to sex. Like the obscure attitudes people take in other branches of sexology, research in this area is either outdated or under-sampled to reach convincing conclusions to the public. Some people have used the term masochism and sexual masochism to evade these debates skillfully, but the latter sounds too tongue-in-cheek to be widely adopted.
sadism
Sexual sadism refers to the mental or physical torture of objects of the opposite sex (or the same sex) to obtain sexual satisfaction and abnormal psychological satisfaction. Masochism is the exact opposite, which means that when a sexual object is abused, although the mental or physical pain is felt, it is psychologically satisfied with a special sexual desire.
In fact, sadism and masochism are not uncommon. In the West, about 30% of women and 10% of men have experienced abuse and sadism to varying degrees and have been sexually aroused. 25% of men and women use their teeth to increase sexual pleasure during sexual intercourse or being bitten, but this cannot be included in sexual sadism and masochism. only those who use sexual sadism and masochistic behavior as the main source of sexual stimulation or as an indispensable means to obtain sexual satisfaction can be determined as such a diagnosis.
The abusers are more common in males. The most common abuses include teeth bite, hand scratching, whipping, acupuncture, strangulation, etc. There are also mental abuse, such as urinating on sexual objects, forcing them to speak obscene words, etc. . Extreme sadism, including beatings, mutilation, and killing of sexual objects, is called pornography. Some sadism often occurs between two men and women who have reached some kind of tacit agreement, and the sadistic behavior at this time is relatively mild.
Network SM
A concept to be mentioned here is "Cyber SM", that is, network SM, also known as "network tuning". Like sexual fantasies, this way of obtaining sexual pleasure through fantasy SM scenes is called Cyber SM. The development of Instant Message also provides a broad platform for network SM. The premise of SM is that both parties are willing, if one of them is forced to engage in SM, it will be regarded as sexual abuse and will be punished by law. At the same time, SM is also divided into erotic SM and abnormal SM, which refers to an erotic behavior of the abuser to the abused, which is limited to minor SM behaviors such as bundling, dripping wax, and whipping that will not cause harm to human health. Perverted SM refers to a type of sexual abuse. The abuser forces the victim to drink urine, electric shock and other severe SM behaviors, which will cause varying degrees of harm to human health and even life-threatening in severe cases. This SM is something we need to strongly resist.
main cause
Physiological factors
Physiological studies have shown that endorphins are released by the body when experiencing pain, which can lead to euphoria and addiction, and sadomasochism has been linked to endorphin addiction. In addition to this, the lactic acid released during muscle strain and the adrenaline released during stress and pain may also contribute to high pleasure. But physiological factors cannot fully explain sadomasochism, especially the pleasure that non-painful bondage and domination bring to sadomasochists. In sadomasochistic activities, many times the psychological pleasure of the abuser is higher than that of the abused. For example, the most common rope binding, the battered person struggles helplessly, and sometimes groans when he struggles too hard, which can make the batterer get the pleasure of conquering the other side.
childhood experience
There are views that childhood experiences are linked to the formation of sadomasochism. The most frequently cited example is Rousseau's mention in Confessions that he was whipped by his aunt at the age of 8, which had a lifelong impact on his sex life.
Some insist that the British preference for sexual flogging stems from the corporal punishment system in British schools. "Hundreds of thousands of young people have learned the passion for flogging through their personal experience in the education system that educators are keen on the flogging system, and they can't forget a certain feeling they experienced in the process of receiving flogging, and they are eager to learn from the beautiful The same lashes in the hands of girls."
aggressive
Another view is that sadomasochism stems from aggression contained in the human sexual instinct.
guilt
Psychoanalysis believes that sadomasochism (especially masochism) is associated with feelings of guilt. Freud said: "In masochistic fantasies there is a distinct content to be found, namely, a sense of guilt. The client imagines that he has committed some crime (the nature of which is uncertain), and must use pain and torture by means of process to atone for sin." Freud also said: "As far as I know, guilt is an indispensable factor in the process of sadism to masochism."
Patriarchal
1. Radical women's point of view, that sadomasochism is a symbol of male chauvinism's violence against women and oppression of women.
mental illness
2. Psychopathological perspective: The belief that sadomasochism as a tendency to self-mutilation results from a mental disorder.
that power
3. Sadomasochism is also sometimes used in descriptions of emotions rather than sensual preferences. Some people derive pleasure from exerting/understanding some ideological restraint, the distress caused by opposition, and the unintended harm. Sometimes coercion goes beyond the use of knives and has invisible power, and in sadomasochism, power may actually be at the center of the relationship rather than giving/accepting pain. In this process, the common behaviors of pain, bondage, and humiliation and guilt are the tools of the abuser to maintain the power hierarchy.
5. Social Controversy
ethics
Sadomasochism has been regarded as a mental illness by mainstream society for a long time. According to the World Health Organization's "International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (Tenth Edition)", sadomasochism is defined as a sexual inversion. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (Fourth Edition), published by the American Psychiatric Association in 1994, changed the presentation of inversions.
law
Sadomasochistic activities involve whipping, binding and other activities, and the legal risks are relatively high. Causing death or serious injury to participants, involuntary and enforced sadomasochistic behavior, and sadomasochistic behavior with minors are serious crimes in some regions, while in countries and regions where obscene materials are regulated and prostitution is prohibited, sadomasochistic activities may be will violate relevant laws. In mainland China, other people who engage in sadomasochistic activities with the spouses of active military personnel may commit the crime of sabotaging military marriages. Some sadomasochistic communities have issued guidelines to guide sadomasochists to avoid legal risks.
There have been reports in the media that sadomasochists were arrested or imprisoned for providing paid services, and sadomasochists were also convicted of wrongful death for causing the death or serious injury of their partners. Cases, in addition, there are sadomasochistic activities involving extortion, fraud, coercion and other crimes reported by the media.
crime
In the past ten years, in addition to people who have wives and husbands and people who already have boyfriends and girlfriends, there is a trend of developing towards primary and secondary school students and children. Many men take advantage of the limited financial expenditure of children, and use game points or even cash as rewards to induce girls to engage in nude chats, or even actual violations.
