A term describing a person with the unusual condition of deriving sexual pleasure from infliction of physical and psychological pain. This kind of arousal feels very different from a romantic one because different parts of the brain cause the arousal -- the parts of the brain that regulate sympathy and predatory desires of domination, control, and the desire to violently exploit perceived weaknesses in a human being.

Sadistic pleasure is very addicting (as most irregular pleasures are). Since the individual will keep using sadistic means of creating sexual satisfaction, he/she can become numb to enjoying normal romantic arousal. This can significantly change their lifestyle, as they might have less motivation to engage in activities that lead to normal sex. In other words, they can become reclusive and weird. The sadistic individual always has to deal with the fact that 99.9% of humans don't like being hurt, and that's a problem. The sadistic individual hears and sees their victims cry in pain. Over time, this feedback has a damaging effect and can lead to depression.

The early conditions of the childhood have a lot to do with becoming a sadistic adult. It's still not yet completely understood how. Somehow, the brain connects sexuality with violence during these early ages.

1: Pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.

2: schadenfreude

1. The term for defining the sexual pleasure derived from the pain/suffering of others.
2. Getting off to inflicting or viewing pain upon other person

A sadistic person is one who gets pleasure from the pain and misery of a human being.

It's actually quite strange. Speaking from experience, sadistic pleasure is the most euphoric pleasure you can get sexually. Honestly, there's nothing more satisfying, if you are in the right mood, than seeing the horrendous suffering and humiliation of a victim. It will make you feel like god. Like in control. It will make you taste the victim's blood, and it's sooooo sweet! After being accommodated with sadism, no typical porn can even satisfy you. Regular sex is sometimes just not strong enough. You'll want to tear the pretty girl apart!

WARNING: Sadism is an EXTREMELY dangerous practice to engage. If you don't have enough control over your mind, it can draw you to many horrible things such as crime and homicide. If you ever watch the biography of many serial killers, they all start out with a fetish in what they call "violent pornography." If you don't have enough mental power to keep sadism into perspective, it can pull you into awful illegal commitments, destroy your life, embarrass you, make you feel guilty, and make your mood generally unstable.

Sadistic individuals who can control their will are the most incredibly bright people. These are the very CEO's, the lawyers, the engineers, etc behind the scenes. They can be wonderful people. As long as sadism is well controlled, it can be a pleasurable experience, especially if the victim, the masochist, actually enjoys it.
