Someone who enjoys giving pain is a sadist. Someone who enjoys receiving it is a masochist. I'm not sure if there is a special word for someone with both, or if they are simply sadistic and masochistic.
Sadomasochist
I think that's called a Sadist, or Satist, however you spell it.
He or she would be called a sadomasochist.
People who enjoy the infliction of pain on others are known as sadists.
Probably something close to a masochist.
A Masochist is someone that is aroused by receiving pain.
A sadist.
Inflicting pain to oneself would be Munchausen's Syndrome. One who inflicts pain upon others is a sadist (although the textbook DSM-IV version of this also requires that the pain is inflicted without the victim's consent). A person who enjoys someone else inflicting pain upon them is a masochist.- I don't know who answered this question before me but I'd like to clarify:a sadist is someone who likes to inflict pain/likes to see people in paina masochist is someone who likes to feel pain inflicted by themselves and/or othersand someone with Munchausen's syndrome is a person who makes themselves sick/pretends to be sick/worsens a pre-existing illness; to get attentionalso a person with Munchausen by proxy is someone who makes another person sick (usually a child) to get sympathy/attention
Depending on degree: either bully or sadist. Either is not someone you want to be around.
A sado-masochist.
A true sufferer, a masochist.

Yes, I suppose you could. I guess it is similar to being addicted to adrenaline rushes.
