I was talking to this guy who…

admitted to being a sadist. He seems well-rounded & respectful otherwise. Red flag, no?
I mean at least he was honest & direct about it.
I dunno why I keep attracting those types tbh.

BIG red flag.

What he seeks is far outside the bounds of a healthy relationship, of mutual love and respect.

Sadistic partners often resort to manipulative tactics to exert control and dominance over their partners and others. Past incidents of violent behavior, even from childhood, can hint at underlying sadistic tendencies.Dec 28, 2023

@SethGreene531 You don't think BDSM can be part of a healthy relationship? It's not a problem if both people are into it and engage in it consensually.
