Canadian Musician

Ryan Kwanten

I'm somewhat of a masochist at heart. I like to sweat. I come from a very competitive sporting background - my dad was a world-champion surfer - so it's always been a part of my DNA. I do a lot of soft-sand running, hiking, yoga, and boxing, and I compete in triathlons.

Emotional Context

Remember, it's not solely sexual; it can describe any self-inflicted suffering for gratification.

Not Only Sexual

Be aware, calling someone a masochist can come off as an insult or criticism.

Negative Connotation

When using the adjective, it describes a trait, not necessarily an act of masochism.

Character vs. Act

Understanding its psychological nuances is important, as it often relates to mindset.

Psychological Aspect

The 'pleasure' aspect is subjective; what seems masochistic to some may be normal to others.
