They are indeed different. A submissive is a person who prefers to put the other person's pleasure before their own and get turned on as much by their partner getting turned on as anything else. Not all submissives are masochists though in my experience a large percentage are even if they don't know it yet.
A masochist is a person who enjoys erotic pain as a major part of their sexual experience. The source of the pain can be any number of things like spanking, rough anal sex, nipple torture, genital torture, etc. Torture here means using the area to create erotic pain.
Is that helpful?0 1 0 0I'm a sadistic Dom.
You back after long time
Masochists get sexual pleasure from their own pain or degradation.
Submissive is not being assertive or in control or assertive it’s the opposite of dominant.
Dominant is the opposite of submissive. One who is dominant is powerful or influential and usually the leader of a group.
Sadistic or a sadist is one who derives pleasure of any type from others pain, and humiliation.0 1 0 0I’m dominant in bed and out, and only sexually I have a slight sadistic streak more leaning towards humiliation than pain. However I find it impossible to be sadistic with anyone I love. I can only be that way so long as I have no feelings for the other person, but I’m always dominate in all of life.

I think submissive means you give up control.. but masochist means you like being hurt. Dominant you like control and sadist you like hurting. That's the dictionary definition... In terms of BDSM I think it's pretty interchangeable...

5 1A dom doesn't mean u enjoy dealing pain. It means u like to be the lead and give commands. Same as for sub. It means u like to follow and be led not recieve pain. They can mix as a sub can also be a masochist but it doesn't mean the same.
