masochism
The feeling of lust when a character hurts themselves or is hurt by another character.
Use this tag only when there is a clear indication, such as dialogue or facial expression, that the character is enjoying or requesting the action. Do not use for other posts depicting bdsm.
The term was coined by the psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing, who derived the term from the name of the author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, whose works featured this sexual practice frequently.
