Fatal motorcycle straddle injury consolidated with traumatic testicular dislocation: A case report

The correlation between sadomasochists' experience and their sadomasochistic behaviors and fantasies: A qualitative analysis of interviews

“…Similar to what was found in Ten Brink et al's (2020) study, no difference was found between the numbers of positive and negative events during interviewees' growth, showing little support for previous studies suggesting that sadomasochists are more likely to experience negative events during childhood (Chen et al, 2015;Hall, 2014;Y. Li et al, 2019;Liu et al, 1997;Nitschke, Ottermann, & Mokro, 2009;Richters et al, 2008;L. Sun, 2003;Zhao, 2014).…”

“…L. Sun (2003) found that female sadomasochists experienced guilt due to early love for their fathers and tension with their mothers. Other studies have also reported sadomasochists' negative experiences, including the loss of mother since childhood (Liu et al, 1997), frustrating incidents (Zhao, 2014), crime history or imprisonment Nitschke, Ottermann, & Mokro, 2009;Richters et al, 2008;Zhao, 2014), being neglected by parents or caregivers Nitschke, Ottermann, & Mokro, 2009), and abuse (Abrams et al, 2022;Chen et al, 2015;Li et al, 2019). Previous studies have shown that sadomasochists are more likely to experience sexual trauma than are ordinary people (e.g., Chen et al, 2015;Lu, 2004;Yost & Hunter, 2012), whereas other studies have proven the contrary (e.g., Hillier, 2019;Myers et al, 2010;Richters et al, 2008).…”

“…The types of sadomasochistic play mentioned by the interviewees were classified into five categories, known as "spirit," "punishment," "sex," "canine," and "excretion" play. Previous studies have noted these five kinds of sadomasochistic play (Liu et al, 1997;Pascoal et al, 2015;Renaud & Byers, 1999;Richters et al, 2008;Wignall & McCormack, 2015). Existing studies have not mentioned play other than in these five categories.…”

“…No interviewees mentioned experiences of animal abuse, being in prison, sexual abuse, bereavement, or social disorder as reported before (Liu et al, 1997;Nordling et al, 2000;Richters et al, 2008;Stupperich & Strack, 2016;Yost & Hunter,2012;Zhao, 2014). This is probably because these experiences are not significant factors of sadomasochists' growth history, though they were mentioned by some case reports or investigations with small samples.…”

“…Previous studies providing an overview of sadomasochists' growth experiences were mainly case studies (e.g., Liu et al, 1997;Lu, 2004). This study is beyond the scope of a case study and presents more detailed growth experience of sadomasochists than presented before.…”
