Outside the sadomasochistic scene, dominants are not cruel, nor are submissives necessarily passive. It is only within the sexual context that such behavior is perceived as appropriate.") p. 435-437 (in entry under paraphilias: sadomasochism, sexually attracted to or aroused by reciprocal interaction of sadist with masochist; algophilia, sexually attracted to or aroused by pain)
