— n
1.	psychiatry  an abnormal condition in which pleasure, esp sexual pleasure, is derived from pain or from humiliation, domination, etc,by another person
2.	psychoanal  the directing towards oneself of any destructivetendencies
3.	Compare sadism a tendency to take pleasure from one's own suffering      That is the definition of masochism according to dictionary.com. I have wondered for some time now if I am a masochist. While I have a spanking kink, and enjoy being submissive, I get zero sexual pleasure from the pain. During a spanking I'm getting pleasure from the power exchange itself, and from knowing that I'm submitting to something that's not entirely pleasant. Afterwards, I am always wet. I like for Daddy to "hurt" me, but I don't like the pain. I like to know I'm taking the pain from him, and that he's using his power and control to "hurt/torture" me ... but the actual pain itself is not a turn on. I still squeal and screech and cry out and hope for it to end. But when it does end, I'm pleased. I love being helpless to him and being made to do things I don't really like.       I'm curious where the rest of you all stand on this. Would you say I'm a masochist? Do you feel the same as me? Differently? Would you consider yourself a masochist or maybe even a sadist?
