ORIGINAL: WhipTheHip It is the DSM-IV-TR that distinguishes between sexual sadism and non-sexual sadism. And has several have pointed out...go back and read the prior versions of that manual...you'll find some very interesting, rather commonplace "conditions" of today, that were also thought of as mental/personality disorders. I think it more than a bit closed-minded to believe that because your motivations may be something other than sexually based, consenting adults enjoying engaging in sadistic activities is a disorder of any type. I've always been of the mindset, as long as they are willing adult participants, it isn't something that should be seen in such a negative light as a "disorder" or mental illness. But then again, I'm quirky like that hehe MMNH
