Since the page is locked, I'll provide the diagnostic criteria and description according to the DSM-5. I believe this should be listed due to the fact that its practice can be fatal and suicidal, therefore damning anyone who engages in it. As always, faith and knowledge are the ways out.
'''Sexual Masochism Disorder 302.83 (F65.51)'''
'''Diagnostic Criteria'''
A. Over a period of at least 6 months, recurrent and intense sexual arousal from the act
of being humiliated, beaten, bound, or othenwise made to suffer, as manifested by fantasies,
urges, or behaviors.
B. The fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors cause clinically significant distress or impairment
in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning.
''Specify'' if:
With asphyxiophilia: If the individual engages in the practice of achieving sexual
arousal related to restriction of breathing.
''Specify'' if:
In a controlled environment: This specifier is primarily applicable to individuals living
in institutional or other settings where opportunities to engage in masochistic sexual
behaviors are restricted.
In full remission: There has been no distress or impairment in social, occupational,
or other areas of functioning for at last 5 years while in an uncontrolled environment.
'''Diagnostic Features'''
The diagnostic criteria for sexual masochism disorder are intended to apply to individuals
who freely admit to having such paraphilic interests. Such individuals openly acknowledge
intense sexual arousal from the act of being humiliated, beaten, bound, or otherwise
made to suffer, as manifested by fantasies, urges, or behaviors. If these individuals also report
psychosocial difficulties because of their sexual attractions or preferences for being
humiliated, beaten, bound, or otherwise made to suffer, they may be diagnosed with sexual
masochism disorder. In contrast, if they declare no distress, exemplified by anxiety, obsessions,
guilt, or shame, about these paraphilic impulses, and are not hampered by them
in pursuing other personal goals, they could be ascertained as having masochistic sexual
interest but should not be diagnosed with sexual masochism disorder.
The Criterion A time frame, indicating that the signs or symptoms of sexual masochism
must have persisted for at least 6 months, should be understood as a general guideline,
not a strict threshold, to ensure that the sexual interest in being humiliated, beaten, bound,
or otherwise made to suffer is not merely transient. However, the disorder can be diagnosed
in the context of a clearly sustained but shorter time period.
'''Associated Features Supporting Diagnosis'''
The extensive use of pornography involving the act of being humiliated, beaten, bound, or otherwise
made to suffer is sometimes an associated feature of sexual masochism disorder.
'''Prevalence'''
The population prevalence of sexual masochism disorder is unknown. In Australia, it has
been estimated that 2.2% of males and 1.3% of females had been involved in bondage and
discipline, sadomasochism, or dominance and submission in the past 12 months.
'''Development and Course'''
Community individuals with paraphilias have reported a mean age at onset for masochism
of 19.3 years, although earlier ages, including puberty and childhood, have also been
reported for the onset of masochistic fantasies. Very little is known about persistence over
time. Sexual masochism disorder per definition requires one or more contributing factors,
which may change over time with or without treatment. These include subjective distress
(e.g., guilt, shame, intense sexual frustration, loneliness), psychiatric morbidity, hypersexuality
and sexual impulsivity, and psychosocial impairment. Therefore, the course of sexual
masochism disorder is likely to vary with age. Advancing age is likely to have the same
reducing effect on sexual preference involving sexual masochism as it has on other paraphilic
or normophilic sexual behavior.
'''Functional Consequences of Sexual Masochism Disorder'''
The functional consequences of sexual masochism disorder are unknown. '''However, masochists are at risk of accidental death while practicing asphyxiophilia or other autoerotic procedures.'''
'''Differential Diagnosis'''
Many of the conditions that could be differential diagnoses for sexual masochism disorder
(e.g., transvestic fetishism, sexual sadism disorder, hypersexuality, alcohol and substance
use disorders) sometimes occur also as comorbid diagnoses. Therefore, it is necessary to
carefully evaluate the evidence for sexual masochism disorder, keeping the possibility of
other paraphilias or other mental disorders as part of the differential diagnosis. Sexual
masochism in the absence of distress (i.e., no disorder) is also included in the differential,
as individuals who conduct the behaviors may be satisfied with their masochistic orientation.
'''Comorbidity'''
Known comorbidities with sexual masochism disorder are largely based on individuals in
treatment. Disorders that occur comorbidly with sexual masochism disorder typically include
other paraphilic disorders, such as transvestic fetishism.
This is serious. If one person has these fantasies and is steered away from hanging themself through this site, this entry will be worth it.
