Sexual sadism

Sexual sadism refers to applying physical or mental pain to sexual objects before or at the same time to obtain sexual pleasure and cause sexual impulses (note that it is not for other purposes, nor is it for revenge, curiosity, etc.). In medical psychology, they are called sexual sadism and sexual masochism, and the two are collectively called "sexual abuse."
