Sadism
From Spanking Art
In psychology, sadism is an instance of finding sexual gratification from inflicting pain on others. This may be a real life psychological disorder. Sadism may also be a fantasy game played between participants. See play.
One of the double meanings for "S" in the term BDSM represents sadism. A person acting out sadism is called a sadist. Marquis de Sade was a French writer who developed these ideas and the term sadism derives from his name.
In consensual spanking, sadism comes from inflicting pain on the spankee's buttocks. Sadism usually respresents an intense psychological need by the spankee, not by the spanker. Thus, there's a transference of sexual fantasy from spankee to spanker. Generally, the spanker is only playing at sadism to fulfill the needs of the spankee and perhaps spectators.
