{{Topp}}sadisme]]''/''[[masochisme{{Bottom}}
==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]] ([[sadism]]) or upon experiencing [[pain]] oneself ([[masochism]]).
==Sigmund Freud==
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]].
==Jacques Lacan==
[[Lacan]] too argues that [[sadism]] and [[masochism]] are intimately related, both [[being]] related to the [[drive|invocatory drive]]<ref>{{S11}} p. 183</ref> Both the [[masochist]] and the [[sadist]] locate themselves as the [[object]] of the [[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>{{S11}} 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 [[drive|partial drive]]s; it is the "[[limit]]-experience" in the attempt to go ''beyond'' the [[pleasure principle]].
