Original review: April 1, 2017. What a powerful change, putting my new Widex hearing aids in! After they were properly programmed, it was amazing to hear what I've been missing for years! For example, the sound of water running in the sink has such a clarity to it, I almost felt like it was too loud!
sadism - a form of perversion in which a person finds pleasure in inflicting abuse and maltreatment. sadist - one who practices sadism. sadomasochism - a form of perversion marked by enjoyment of cruelty and/or humiliation in its received or active and/or dispensed and passive form.
Sadomasochism is a portmanteau of sadism and masochism, terms coined by the 19th century German psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing, who spoke of basic, natural tendencies to sadism in men, and to masochism in women.
