Sadism: There's the paraphilia with sexual fantasies and/or gratification by inflicting physical or emotional pain on another. This usually requires a partner willing to have these things done to him or her. Not all sadism is acted out sexually. One can simply show callous, vicious, manipulative, and degrading behavior towards other people in everyday life. Usually, both both sides dwell within.
