Sadism is the sexual pleasure or gratification in the infliction of pain and suffering upon another person. The word is derived from the name of the Marquis de Sade, a prolific French philosopher-writer of sadistic novels.
The counterpart of sadism is masochism, the sexual pleasure or gratification of having pain or suffering inflicted upon the self, often consisting of sexual fantasies or urges for being beaten, humiliated, bound, tortured, or otherwise made to suffer, either as an enhancement to or a substitute for sexual pleasure. The name is derived from the name of the 19th century author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, known for his novel Venus in Furs that dealt with highly masochistic themes.
Sadism and masochism, often interrelated (one person obtaining sadistic pleasure by inflicting pain or suffering on another person who thereby obtains masochistic pleasure), are collectively known as S&M or sadomasochism.

Depends on what you're "into", but it's basically someone tying up another person to be unable to move or protect themselves (masochistic) from whatever the sadistic person wants to do. Blindfold, handcuffs, ropes; for some really sickies, they love to be hurt and abused. So that's what it means without getting really graphic.

Sadism and masochism.
It's basically where some people get their jollies off of hurting someone else(sadism), such as spanking, play-torture, extreme teasing, etc. Masochism is when people get their jollies off of being the one the sadists are doing it to.
