Estimates suggest that around 1% of the U.S. population may be diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, which includes sociopathic traits. This would translate to approximately 3 million people based on the current U.S. population. However, the prevalence can vary based on different studies and definitions of sociopathy. It's important to note that many individuals with these traits may not seek diagnosis or treatment.

Are some sociopaths sadomacochists?
Many sociopaths are plain sadistic.The broader notion that most sadists and masochists 'switch' betweem the one and the other is problematical.Added (DF-04/09) - (speculative)From a physical perspective (as against emotional sadism and masochism) Many sociopaths are sadistic. Many sociopaths are also masochistic. This is not necessarily a case of switching between the two, but just another aspect and stems from a different perspective. Whereas sadism may stem from amusement at hurting others and a sense of power and control, many sociopaths describe a feeling of emptiness or even something described as "sociopathic pain". Sociopaths may then enage in masochism as "pain to kill pain." Of course, not all sadomasochists are sociopaths!

It's called "Duper's Delight". Sociopaths get a thrill out of lying and getting away with it.

Many people are frightened by this look and never forget it once they see it.
