Talk:Autosadism

New section
"It can be viewed as a form of masochism, or a sublimated form of sadism, or simply (in the case of pain alone) a way of gratifying algolagnia, the sexual desire for pain."

I believe this to be in error. As I understand it, algolagnia does not imply a desire for pain, only a tendency to experience sexual pleasure and excitement from physical pain. Meaning, one with algolagnia may have mixed-up chemical pathways that make one experience sexual pleasure from physical pain, but one may not wish to experience sexual pleasure from this pain. The Wikipedia algolagnia page mirrors this.

It seems, therefore, that the current phrasing in this article is misleading and inconsistent with both the other Wikipedia articles and with more up-to-date research into algolagnia and sadomasochism. I have edited the page in an effort to fix this.
