Answer to Question 2
- Sexual masochism refers to sexual arousal and gratification that is associated with acts or fantasies of being hurt, humiliated, or otherwise made to suffer. The masochist has a recurring pattern of engaging in such acts voluntarily and often seeks them out.
- Autoerotic asphyxiation involves depriving the brain of oxygen, usually through some form of strangulation or hanging, during masturbation. If this behavior is engaged in by a couple (where one chokes the other, with consent) during sexual activity, it is usually called sexual hypoxia or hypoxyphilia; but this is far less common than the autoerotic form.
- Fetish is when a sexual preference intensifies to the point that a person obsesses almost exclusively on a nonhuman object or sometimes on a body part that most members of a culture do not find sexy, such as feet or toes.
