MASOCHIST

A person who invites pain and passively controls others in the process; a bottom or submissive who gets off on receiving pain. The term masochism was coined by Havelock Ellis and named after Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch, a nineteenth-century author who begged his wives to whip and humiliate him. An ideal day for Leopold began with a good whipping; otherwise, he struggled to get into a productive groove.
