==Definition== The terms "[[sadism]]/" and "[[masochism]]" were coined by Krafft-Ebing in 1893, with reference to the [[Marquis de Sade]] and Baron Sacher von Masoch. Though the term sadism has a longer [[history]]. It first appears in a [[French]] [[dictionary]] in 1834, just twenty years after the [[death]] of De [[Sade]]. Krafft-Ebing used the [[terms]] in a very specific [[sense]], to refer to a [[sexual]] [[perversion]] in which [[sexual]] [[satisfaction]] is dependent upon inflicting [[pain]] on [[others]] ([[Frsadism]]. '') or upon experiencing [[sadismepain]]''/''oneself ([[masochismemasochism]]'') .

==Sigmund Freud== The terms "[[sadism]]" and "[[masochism]]" were coined by Krafft-Ebing in 1893, with reference to the [[Marquis de Sade]] and Baron Sacher von Masoch.  Krafft-Ebing used the terms in a very specific sense, to refer to a [[sexual]] [[perversion]] in which [[sexual]] [[satisfaction]] is dependent upon inflicting [[pain]] on others ([[sadism]]) or upon experiencing [[pain]] oneself ([[masochism]]).  When [[Freud]] took up the terms in his ''[[Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality]]'', he used [[them ]] in the same sense as Krafft-Ebing.<ref>{{F}} ''[[Works of Sigmund Freud|Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality]]'', 1905d. [[SE]] VII, 125.</ref> Following Krafft-Ebing, [[Freud]] posited an intrinsic connection between [[sadism]] and [[masochism]], arguing that they are simply the [[active]] and [[passive]] aspects of a single [[perversion]].

[[Lacan]] too argues that [[sadism]] and [[masochism]] are intimately related, both [[being ]] related to the invocatory [[drive|invocatory drive]]<ref>{{S11}} p.183</ref>   Both the [[masochist]] and the [[sadist]] locate themselves as the [[object]] of the invocatory [[drive|invocatory drive]], the [[voice]].   However, whereas [[Freud]] argues that [[sadism]] is primary, [[Lacan]] argues that [[masochism]] is primary, and [[sadism]] is derived from it: "sadism is merely the [[disavowal ]] of masochism."<ref>{{SllS11}} p.186</ref> Thus, whereas the [[masochist]] prefers to [[experience ]] the [[pain]] of [[existence]] in his own [[body]], the [[sadist]] rejects this [[pain]] and forces the [[Other]] to bear it.<ref>{{Ec}} p.778</ref> [[Masochism]] occupies a special [[place ]] among the [[perversion]]s, just as the invoking [[drive]] occupies a privileged place among the partial [[drive|partial drive]]s; it is the "[[limit]]-experience" in the attempt to go ''beyond'' the [[pleasure principle]].
