nope they would not. sorry the fact I am a woman with a God given brain bothers you so much. I figure God knew what He was doing when He allowed my birth. I figure I am fortunate in that I had a father who always encouraged me in my endeavors and never once said I was limited because I was female.
Sexual Masochism Disorder
Reviewed by Psychology Today Staff
Sexual masochism disorder falls within the category of
psychiatric sexual disorders known as paraphilias, which involve recurrent, intense, sexually arousing
fantasies, urges, or behaviors that are distressing or disabling and have the potential to cause harm to oneself or others. Sexual masochism refers to engaging in or frequently fantasizing about being beaten, bound, humiliated, or otherwise made to suffer, resulting in sexual satisfaction. If people with this sexual preference also report psychological or social problems as a result, they may be diagnosed with sexual masochism disorder. The types of distress that people with this disorder may experience include severe
anxiety,
guilt,
shame, and obsessive thoughts about engaging in sexual masochism. (If a person has a masochistic sexual interest but experiences no distress and is able to meet other personal
goals, then they would not be diagnosed as having a disorder.)
One specific type of sexual masochism is called asphyxiophilia, in which a person receives sexual satisfaction by having their breathing restricted. While some people engage in this practice with partners, others prefer to restrict their breathing while they are alone, and accidental death may happen as a result.
Sexually masochistic behavior is usually evident by early adulthood, and sometimes begins with masochistic or sadistic play during
childhood.
Symptoms
To be diagnosed with
sexual masochism disorder, according to the
DSM-5, a person must experience recurrent and intense sexual arousal from being beaten, humiliated, bound, or from some other form of suffering. These types of urges, fantasies, or behaviors must be present for at least six months and cause clinically significant troubles or difficulty in social, occupational, or other important areas in life.
The extensive use of
pornography involving the act of being humiliated, beaten, bound, or otherwise made to suffer is sometimes an associated feature of the disorder.
