If sadism is a way of life for you in which other aspects of your life other than sexually does it show?

Being subjected to the stupid opinions of others, apparently.

It implies that sadist and masochist are this way about EVERYthing in life...including emotional and psychological issues. I find it offense to imply that I seek out people who are emotional masochists...these people are rarely healthy. I also find it offensive to imply that I am an emotional sadist in my every day life...these people are often abusive. In the end, it's yet another way to say that we're not healthy individuals.

I think I agree with this, after all if I was that much a sadist that it applied to every aspect of my life there would be an awful lot more cars round here with some very big dents in :)

Status: offline 		Thank you. I hadn't seen it form that side. I was just curious for those out there who are healthy sadists and masochists in every day life how it shows in their day to day life.

Status: offline 		I have to agree with MasterFire (as usual). In the bulk of my life I wouldn't say I am terribly sadistic, except with the guys that work for me......

In fact, in some facets of my life I might even say I am a bit of a masochist......I do, after all, have two grown children.

Status: offline 		Personally I wouldn't identify myself with deSade at all except that unfortunately the term associated with him gets associated with some things I do. If you read his books, it isn't about pain and pleasure, it is more about being completely selfish and hedonistic regardless of any other person.

YUCK

Yup I completely agree with this. I read "Philosophy In the Bedroom" and it kind of made me ill. Especially the part where they infect the young girls mother with the pox then sew her up (unconcentually, I might add) just because she doesn't want her daughter to be a Libertine. Doesn't sound like a way of life I wanna follow.

Status: offline 		My sadism is a part of my life only in the consensual, sexual realm.

My masochism, however, seems to have no end as I continue to read these forums and subscribe to various other email lists and groups which are often painful to read.
