BDSM
Most of you know about it, some of you don’t. I had to do some research on the topic for my sexuality class.
Let me educate you guys:
Sadism is the sexual pleasure or gratification in the infliction of pain and suffering upon another person. Medically it is considered to be a paraphilia. The word is derived from the name of the Marquis de Sade, a prolific French writer of sadistic novels.
The counterpart of sadism is masochism, the sexual pleasure or gratification of having pain or suffering inflicted upon the self, often consisting of sexual fantasies or urges for being beaten, humiliated, bound, tortured, or otherwise made to suffer, either as an enhancement to or a substitute for sexual pleasure. The name is derived from the name of the 19th century author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, known for his novel Venus in Furs that dealt with highly masochistic themes.
"S&M," or sadomasochistic sex play, is mutually agreed upon sexual stimulation that incorporates domination and/or pain in sex play. It uses fantasy scenarios that explore dominance and submission and sometimes includes bondage. Mutual consent is what makes S&M different from abuse and assault.
Not everyone likes S and M sex play. Trust and communication play a large part in S&M activity. Partners need to talk with one another before they begin a "scene" to learn what each of them likes, would like to try, and would not like to do under any circumstances.
One important way that partners into S&M protect each other from getting hurt is to agree upon a safe word. When the safe word — usually a non-sexual, non-directive word like "peppermint" — is spoken, it means that someone really wants to stop whatever activity is going on. Safe words are very important because in S&M play screaming "stop it" may just be part of the game.
Havelock Ellis, in Studies in the Psychology of Sex, argued that there is no clear distinction between the aspects of sadism and masochism, and that they may be regarded as complementary emotional states.
Many theorists, particularly feminist theories, have suggested that sadomasochism is an inherent part of our culture.
There are a number of reasons commonly given for why a sadomasochist finds the practice of S&M enjoyable, and the answer is largely dependent on the individual.
It is usually agreed on by psychologist that experiences during early sexual development can have a profound effect on the character of sexuality later in life.
Cochóes Indians were sexually aroused during marriage by sadomasochist practices. The wife sticks her nails into her husband’s chin until bleeding. Then, he gives her various strong and painful pinches in her hips, producing hematoma.
Hindu culture describes in its writings seven different ways of biting, by which you can obtain masochist pleasure if you receive it; or sadist pleasure if you are the one who bites.
There is an ancient culture in Borneo and other places in Malaysia and Indonesia where men use to pierce their glans with a metallic stick, called “kalang.” It also has two metal buttons at it ends. It seemed to like very much to their wives because they gave their husbands a new “kalang” from time to time.
Activities include:
Flagellation. Inflicting pleasure by hitting.
Spiking. Inflicting pleasure by flagellation of buttocks, using hands or different objects like a whip.
Bondage. Immobilizing the person and practicing erotic acts over his/her body. Use of handcuffs, metal or leather ropes, chains, straps or bands.
Giving birth anally. Anal stimulation in order to feel like giving birth by the anus. First, the anus is cleansed by enema. Second, prostate massages are given in order to stimulate anal dilatation. Third, a little object is introduced in the anus to be expelled.
Needling. Consists in using needles all over the body or in a specific part.
Electrical stimulation. Sexually aroused by small electrical discharges in the genital zone.
Humiliation. Humiliation of the masochist by different acts like
forcing him/her to drag him/her like a dog.
Insulting verbally
Drive the person to defecate over him/herself.
Slavery. Masochism itself supposes a sense of domination. Besides this domination, there are practices like putting the masochist inside a cage while the sadist masturbates in presence of the captive person.
The Biology of Sadomasochism:
Pain, violence, sex and love all are associated with the release of variety of hormones and chemicals within the human body.
Human have been shown have been shown to exhibit sympathetic responses in their bodies while watching, hearing, or imagining such experiences.
Levels of sex hormone testosterone can be temporarily affected by ones role sadomasochism interactions.
Dominant participants often get raised testosterone levels, whereas submissive get depressed testosterone levels.
Endorphins are released by pain experiences and can be perceived as pleasurable and possibly addictive.
Lactic acid is released by muscle under strain and can be perceived as pleasurable.
Brain chemicals such as serotin and melanotin can be affected by emotional or stressful experiences.
The effects of S&M on body chemistry probably reinforces the behavior and therefore creates psychological states that seek further such behavior.
As an example of a sadistic offender Burgess, Groth, Holmstrom, and Sgroi,
(1978) present the case of "Paul," a single, white, 19 year old male who was
convicted of four rapes, but later admitted to over twenty. According to his
account, he would typically select an innocent looking girl, around the age
of 12 and force her into the woods with a knife. He further related the
following:
"Then I'd give her a choice: I would rape her or cut off her hair.
I'd tie her hands behind her back with my belt, put the point of my knife
between her eyes, and threaten to kill her. Then I'd get undressed and make
her lick my body and blow me because I knew she wouldn't want to do it. I'd
get all shaky and excited. I would keep her scared and frightened-- her fear
and suffering gave me pleasure. Sometimes while the girl was blowing me I'd
burn her with a cigarette on her shoulder and ass and 'come off' in her
mouth, sometimes I would punch her and stomp on her hand with my workboots…
Even now when I think about a girl getting beat up, or see it on television,
I get a 'hard-on.'“
All of the offense behaviors related in this account, in context, are
arguably sadistic. Aggression and violence are in the service of increasing
sexual gratification. Note, however, the absence of homicide. As discussed,
sadistic behavior does not necessarily result in a homicidal act.
Anybody charged because of S &M, although unlikely, would probably be
charged with anyone of these crimes, depending on their status:
