Word origin
The term 'masochist' is derived from the name of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, an Austrian writer who described the gratification he received from his own pain and humiliation in his works. The concept of masochism has been studied in psychology and is considered a paraphilia, a type of sexual deviation. It is often associated with BDSM practices and has been a subject of interest and debate in the field of human sexuality.
