Masochism means deriving pleasure from receiving pain.
(The term was coined in 1886 by Richard Krafft-Ebing, who named it after Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, without asking the latter for permission. Sacher-Masoch had written a novel entitled Venus in Furs, which was published in 1870. In the novel a very beautiful woman in furs and shiny high boots whips her man, treats him as her 'slave' and humiliates him. In the novel, they both do this by agreement and both enjoy themselves).
