Question about English (US)
Is “sadism” only used in sexual context?
Korean English dictionary explains like that but I believe it’s used other way as well after watching Wednesday in Wednesday from popular Netflix series saying “I’m not sure whose twisted idea it was to put hundreds of adolescence in underfunded schools run by people whose dreams were crushed years ago but I admire the sadism”

No, "sadism" can just mean "the enjoyment of inflicting suffering" without a sexual meaning.

@jimpjorps Ohh it was thank you I always doubted it Probably “masochism” the same right? No sexual meaning? There is some lyric “maybe in some masochistic way I kind of find it all exciting like which lover will I get today will you walk me to the door or send me home crying”

Yes, "masochism" can also just mean "enjoying suffering" in a nonsexual way. In that context, though, I think it is the sexual meaning.
