Is there a difference between a masochist and a sadist? Or perhaps masochism and sadism?

A 'sadist' is a person who gets pleasure from hurting others and from being cruel to them. On the contrary, a 'masochist' is a person who gets pleasure from being hurt. It can also be used informally when talking about a person who enjoys being in unpleasant situations.

a "masochist" is pleasured of receiving punishment, abused by others and even enjoy pain, while a 'sadist' is pleasured in giving or inflicting pain on others (that usually experiencing sexual excitement). I'm not sure though to those who are playing 'jack ass' if can be considered "masochist" :)
