That depends on when you got into BDSM and, yes today you are right, Sadism is the modern, but originally it was submission and, for those of us that are still old leather, it was and is submission. Sometimes we get to politically correct, But I, and many others think Sadism needs reversed to the original.
A sadist rarely makes a good Dom/Master. Yes causing pain is a part of what we do, be that to enhance pleasure, or as punishment, but those that are driven by and, derive the majority of their pleasure form causing others pain need to go. Edgeplay (RACK) is one thing, getting off while your sub is in tears and not enjoying it one bit is another.
