Masochism is the desire for maltreatment, physical and emotional abuse, and even torture or humiliation, as a means for sexual gratification and pleasure. Often paired up with Sadism, Masochism can turn the average vanilla sex life into a page out of Mick Jagger’s personal sex journal. Although psychologists have technically referred to Masochism as a sexual disorder, and added it to the list of Paraphilia along with the other so called “abnormal” or “unacceptable” sexual desires. Masochism can actually be a beautiful thing, and it’s been around for hundreds of years.
Beginning as early as The Romans, Masochism started in a fairly brutal fashion, often with Gladiators and Slaves. Everyone knows of the famous Colosseum where gladiators were forced to fight tigers, lions, and other armed gladiators, for the entertainment of the wealthy classes. Well, what Hollywood and history textbooks fail to mention, is that the Gladiator shows first functioned as sexual theaters, much like today’s modern porno theater. What is erased from historical accounts of these fights, is the fact that every single member of the audience watching that Gladiator fight, was masturbating. This was the first inception of how violence could be viewed as sexually gratifying, and soon the audience members became bored with merely watching. As a result, many of the richest Patrons would hire these gladiators as their personal sex slaves outside of the ring, paying them to whip, beat, and torture them in bed.
Not surprisingly, The Eunuch is also an offshoot of some early Masochistic practices. Now referred to as the King’s loyal subject, the Eunuch started off as some dude who wanted another man to cut his penis while he was masturbating. Unfortunately, his friend was drunk, and accidentally cut the entire thing off, creating the first known Eunuch, or castrated Male.
In today’s modern world, Masochism takes on numerous forms; from stubbing cigarettes out on your nipples, to getting a group of Japanese Schoolgirls to stomp on your balls with high heels on while your best friend shows you pictures of when you were fat and pimple-faced and couldn’t get a date for the high school prom. Sometimes, Masochists like things the old fashioned way, with a few whips and chains or good hard slaps across the face; while others like things to be a bit more creative, such as wearing a banana hammock filled with scorpions while a hot blonde cheerleader water boards you and asks you to admit your deepest, darkest secrets. This Masochistic technique, known as “The W Bush,” incorporates man vs. nature, human torture, and even psychological humiliation; three essential components of a truly hot and erotic Masochistic night.
1. Just because you like to get your ass slapped when your boyfriend fucks you from behind, doesn’t mean you’re into Masochism. If, however, he’s slapping you in the face until your lip starts bleeding, then perhaps you’re a bit Masochistic.
2. Oprah used to be into Masochism, as she used to get her sexual partners to pour hot wax all over her body during sex. Soon, however, she started eating the Wax before it could land on her skin.
