Is sadism and masochism an abnormal behavior?

Sadism and masochism, often grouped under BDSM (bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, and masochism), can be considered normal variations of human sexuality when practiced consensually and safely between consenting adults. They are not classified as abnormal behaviors unless they cause harm or distress to oneself or others outside of consensual contexts. In clinical terms, they only become problematic if they are part of a pattern of behavior that leads to significant impairment or distress. Overall, many people engage in these practices as part of their sexual expression without any psychological issues.

What is it called when you enjoy the feeling of pain?

If you like pain sexually, then you are a masochist. If you've ever heard of S & M bondage, the S stands for Sadism, and the M stands for Masochism. Sadism is the exact opposite where you get sexual gratification from hurting others. They are often found together, and the two words have been combined to make Sadomasochism. I hope that helped! :)
