This is gonna sound so bad but the way I remember the difference between sadism and masochism is that sadism has the same number of letters that we have from canine to canine (teeth).
Wait let me.
Oh my god why is it so hard to find a picture of a normal regular guy smiling with teeth, why do the image results always have to be these fucked up results “man with 20 rows of teeth rare condition” anyway
Also why are all the “generic man” images of American men and why do Americans not have sharp canines?
Anyway
Imagine he has sharper canines
He is a vampire
The vampire wants to bite you, the vampire is instinct-driven to hurt you - for the blood.
The vampire ✍️ is the sadist. As evidenced by the teeth.
SADISM has the same number of letters as your teeth counting from canine to canine. Who has sharp canines? Vampires. What do vampires do? Hurt, to get blood.
And masochism is just the other one. I used to remember it by remembering the Bella (from twilight) had a massive chasm (masochism) when Edward (from twilight) left her.
