Consulting psychologist Lawrence Gould claims that most women are masochists. Gould's writings were published in The Woman, Parents’ Magazine, She, and The Family Circle, among others. " Those who have an urge to hurt the objects of their passion are called ' sadists', from a famous Frenchman, the Marquis de Sade; while those who (believe it or not!) derive the most intense pleasure from being hurt are called 'masochists,' after a character in a morbid German novel. And though either of these types of abnormality is relatively rare in its extreme form, traces of them are found in most people. Most women, especially, show signs of some degree of masochism, sometimes in the rather obscure form of what is called a 'martyr complex,' and sometimes in direct sensuous enjoyment of roughness or ruthlessness from the man they love."
