THE ANSWER IS NO as long as it is consensual, enjoyed, and encouraged by a happy little masochist! The perfect pairing: those who like to explore receiving the sensation of “pain” and those who like to give that sensation. This guide to sadism is from the perspective of the masochist, giving an insider view of how a masochist experiences pain, processes, and transforms the sensation with their body, mind, spirit connection!
