Being a sadist refers to separate categories of sadism, the sexual BDSM type and the clinical “pulled wings off flies” as boy type. Sexual sadism: For BDSM it refers to sexual gratification from inflicting pain or suffering upon another person. I have met sadistic switches and subs in my life so I do not see that it is a mandatory association between sexual sadism and Topping. Sadistic personality disorder: Enjoys inflicting pain; this may or may not be sexual in nature. This disorder is a pattern of cruel, demeaning, and aggressive behavior, beginning by early adulthood. Sadistic personality disorder has many strong associations with dominance and I can see where that type of sadist must be a Top. Note: Krafft-Ebing says there is a natural tendency in men towards sexual sadism and a natural tendency of women towards sexual masochism. At present, there is a push in the medical community to remove sadism (and masochism) from the paraphilia list in the next DSM.
