what is the meaning of Masochism?

Sexual masochism or congenital disorder and means having pleasure when receiving physical or psychological torture

The term masochist is attributed to the Austrian novelist writer Leopold von Zakher Mazakh, the author of the famous novel (venus in furs), which in some parts expresses periods and experiences of them.
It is one of the most common deviations of sexual behavior and is intended to enjoy pain when receiving it from the other so that its owner does not reach the height of sexual pleasure except by hitting with a hand or a whip or chaining or similar chains or psychological torture such as talking or insulting or humiliating and can reach this pleasure even by imagining one These things happen. It is a sexual feeling in which one relishes the physical torture and psychological humiliation that their beloved brings to her, that is, the pleasure of persecution.
 The masochist, whose sexual excitement lies in the pain of the other party to him when a sexual relationship occurs and the severity of this pain varies from case to case, in some cases, the masochist does not enjoy except with a severe degree of pain that may lead him to death.

The love of torturing oneself takes many forms and forms, and even various stages. There are advanced, advanced, and pathological stages, and so on. Almost all human beings have this quality, meaning that every person has even a small part of masochism even if he does not feel. For example, the tendency to watch horror and violent films is a form of self-torture with horror and horrific scenes. But these simple things common to many remain normal and normal.
The real problem arises when one continues to torture himself and mastered in inventing and devising various methods to achieve this.
 Most people tend to one of the two sides, sadism or masochism, and is considered a natural matter if it does not exceed the natural limit, but when it turns into a satisfactory form it needs psychological treatment. Usually, these people need long-term psychological treatment to try to correct this deviation and sexual behavior.
The word masochism is taken from an Austrian novelist who lived in the nineteenth century called: Leopold von Sacher Masoch because the protagonists of his novels were enjoying physical pain, insults, and torture, and they pronounce masochism, masochism or masochism, and they have two levels:

  • Public Mazook or Moral Mazook: 

In it, we find that the Mazuki person does things (consciously or unconsciously) that he exposes to failure, loss, insult, humiliation, or verbal or physical abuse, and he repeats this behavior and finds hidden pleasure in that despite his apparent complaint
. A person continues this behavior almost compulsively, regardless of problems and troubles, as he loves the role of the victim, the oppressed, the oppressed, and the tormented.
 Mazukism at this level is a type of personality disorder accompanied by a self-defeating behavior

  • Sexual masochism: 

It means the feeling of sexual pleasure only when the sexual act is accompanied by verbal humiliation and physical violence of the masochist person. Freud believes that the Mizuki person cannot feel sexual pleasure in normal conditions due to his anxiety and his sense of guilt, so physical or moral harm reduces these feelings and allows sexual feelings to feel as though they are a cover that is necessary to reach this feeling.
As for its reasons, it is not known exactly, but psychologists, especially the analysts, believe that the Mazuki person must or identify with his mother (reckon with her female role) instead of his father, especially if the child is close to his mother to an extra degree and feels that she is wronged by his father or others, so he sympathizes with her and always loves To be in a situation of the oppressed like her until he relieves feelings of guilt about her and Mazuki has a deep sense of guilt (perhaps because of the presence of aggressive or sexual feelings inside him) so he needs psychological and physical abuse to relieve these painful feelings and her hour feels comfortable or trance.
Mazuki feels lonely and afraid of abandoning the beloved, so he loves the role of the oppressed and the victim to gain the sympathy and attention of people.
 Based on the foregoing, it can be said that the differences between parents in your childhood and your mother's exposure to injustice from your father’s relatives may have motivated you in your early childhood to help the mother and relate to the role of the oppressed and seek humiliation and torture to alleviate feelings of guilt and to alleviate the feelings of loneliness and fears.

There are no disciplined studies in our Arab world that indicate the ratio of mazokis to males or people in general and this seems to be difficult methodically because the areas of general mazukian behaviors are very wide and varied, while those with sexual mazurkas often prefer not to reveal it. The treatment used in such cases is insight-oriented psychotherapy, and it is done through several individual psychological sessions through which the Mizuki person (with the help of a therapist) reaches the roots of feelings of guilt, which are often hostile impulses that he wants to punish himself for.
Until he rested, or he saw the reasons for his mother’s appointment and his failure to appoint his father in early childhood, or he saw his harsh loneliness and his fear of desertion and thus seeks to attract attention and sympathy through the role of the oppressed, tormented and frustrated.

The word Masochism means the hardship of receiving pain, and its corresponding is the word Sadism, which means the aggravation of causing pain in the other. Extensive depending on usage, sadism or masochism may be a word used when talking about a person’s traits or about a person’s way of thinking about things far away from sex, and words may be used when talking about the relationships of individuals with each other.
This is sadistic and that is a mockery and may be used to describe a major relationship He worked, for example, with his subordinates, as he is sadistic in enslaving them, and it may even be used to describe interstate politics or the behavior of its leaders, and so on.

what are the differences between masochism and sadism?

To limit our words to the dimensions of sadism and masochism as two psychological dimensions, to tell you that they are related to each other at the time they appear as contradictions, there are those we find sadistic in some aspects of his personality and behaviors, and masochism in other aspects and these words may be related to your condition, and there are patients with a psychiatric disorder named Sadism - Masochism, those who only enjoy receiving pain and those who only enjoy causing pain and there are those who enjoy both together.

First, in the natural sexual process, there is something of sadism on the part of the male and of masochism on the part of the female, but that when it is done in a framework of love, things will be acceptable, then it will be acceptable for the female to accept some of the male sadism as a natural part of masculinity, and for this reason, It has become a problem when we see a masochist as this contradicts masculinity.

This differs from it when it is done in a context of insult or torture, and it is important to note here that what happens in some cases of sadistic Mazakh varies from the mere use of some rude or violent to the extent of hitting and stinging with fire, wound, and even killing in moments of heat (Lust) (Intense sexual desire and not the summit of pleasure or orgasm as some think, and they call it Orgasm), and this happens especially when one of the parties is sadistic and the other is masochistic.
Sadism-masochism is a disorder of sexual preference, in which there is an association between the ability to perform sexual pleasure and the occurrence or reception of pain on one side.
It is then important that sexual preference disorders or what they have been called Paraphilias are originally disorders in men, very rarely in females, and those rare cases in females are always limited to joking, and rarely cause problems She calls for a psychiatrist.
