S stands for sadism
M stands for masochism
Basically sadism is infliction of pain on another person, while masochism is the gratification of receiving pain

Sadism and Masochism. A sadist enjoys doing mean things to others. A masochist enjoys having mean things done to him or her. Commonly, we use that to express those who get a sexual charge out of binding (sadistic leanings) or being bound (masochistic leanings)--this being part and parcel of the BDSM thing, but these can be in different combinations. Dominants can be masochists (Stalone or Gibson films portray that). Dominants can also be dominant without being sadistic. Submissives can also be sadistic, which is why a dominant needs to directly supervise the orders of one submissive against another submissive. It is a mix and match thing.

Sadism (the enjoyment of inflicting pain on others)
and Masochism (the enjoyment of pain on oneself, either self inflicted or by another person)
This can be but is not limited to sexual satisfaction. Or it could also be stress relief (pulling wings off flys, picking scabs, etc)

Sadism (after the Marquis de Sade) - getting sexual pleasure out of inflicting pain on others, and Masochism - getting sexual pleasure from receiving pain. Usually referred to as "whips and chains" sex!

Sadism & Masochism are what S & M stands for.
Sadist's like to inflict pain on others. Masochist's like to have others inflict pain on them.

Sadomasochism - a combination of sadism (gaining of sexual pleasure from inflicting pain) and masochism ( condition in which sexual pleasure is obtained from feeling pain or being humiliated). Ouch!!!

The S in S & M stands for Sadism (pleasure in inflicting pain on another) and the M stands for Masochism (pleasure in having pain inflicted on oneself).
