The term sadomasochism comes from a combo of two sex driven aristocrat writers, Marquis de Sade and Leopold von Sacher-Masoch.

The amount of pain required to achieve sexual arousal between individuals who participate in S&M varies from mild to severe pain with some even getting off on being mutilated. This can include: spanking, whipping, slapping, hickeys, biting, and other sexual activities. There is a world of pleasure filled opportunities that fall into S&M play. S&M stands for two words, sadism and masochism, which refers to the receiving of pleasure from consensual sexual acts involving the infliction of pain and/or humiliation. It’s not just about Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. There are so many myths floating around it can scare people away from it. There tends to be a lot of chatter about S&M, but a lack of real knowledge about it. Then there were the erotic visuals in the video of people chained up, licking each other, kissing, and other titillating positions. I will never forget seeing Madonna in the black mask wearing a tight black dress looking ready to dominate. I can still hear her purr “erotic, erotic, put your hands all over my body” in my mind.

My mind immediately goes to Madonna’s video hot video “Erotica”. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word sadomasochism also affectionately known as S&M?
