algophilia
Algophilia is a psychological or sexual condition characterized by deriving pleasure from physical pain, often in a sexual context. It can involve self-inflicted pain or pain inflicted by others. Algophilia can refer to both masochism, where an individual gains pleasure from their own pain, and sadism, where pleasure is derived from inflicting pain on others.
