{{quote|''"I hate to be the one to tell you this, Baron, but your torture victim appears to be having a wonderful time."''
The best way to survive, nay, ''thrive'' during torture is to get off on it. (That goes for the victim, [[Fetish Fuel|not the audience]].)

A form of [[Attack Backfire]].

== Anime & Manga ==▼
* Creed from ''[[Black Cat (Manga)|Black Cat]]'' of course. Train ''tries'' to beat it into Creed that he is '''''NOT''''' interested in the sword-wielding [[Stalker With a Crush]]. The result? Train ends up unknowingly [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|spread-legged on top of Creed]], and only realizes too late that Creed got a hard-on and even ''orgasmed'' from it all. Disgust and exasperation are pretty much what describe Train's reaction.▼
▲{{examples}}
▲* Creed from ''[[Black Cat (
* Hisoka from ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]''. Killua, too.
* Sebastian (in episode 20, anyway), Grell, and The Undertaker from ''[[
* Genkaku from ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]''.
* A demon casts [[BDSM
* In one of the early episodes of ''[[Excel Saga (
** To put things in perspective, the torturer thinks his gear is malfunctioning and tries it on the unfortunate fellow next to Excel. Said fellow is promptly ''incinerated''.

* Germany from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]''. Or so [[The Millstone|Italy]] claims at gunpoint.
** France too. After his April Fool's rampage, some of his victims capture him and attempt to humiliate him in retaliation... only to find that he actually enjoys most of their punishment. Until Sweden comes up with a [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]], that is.
* Ayeka in ''[[Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki]]
** Whether this was legitimate or just Ryoko trying to [[Squick]] Ayeka is unclear, since the [[All There in the Manual|supplemental material]] reveals that Ryoko's body isn't capable of feeling much of anything, especially in terms of pleasurable sensations. Then again, thousands of years of only being able to feel pain might have simply led to her ''liking'' it because it was better than feeling nothing at all.
*** It's likely that Ryoko wasn't faking, because she reacts
* One of the ninjas in ''[[Ninin ga Shinobuden]]'' discovers a new kink as he's getting spanked during one of Miyabi's rampages.
* Slan, the only female member of the Godhand from ''[[Berserk]]'', definitely qualifies as this. When Guts fights her at one point in the manga, the only thing that he accomplishes by impaling her and blowing off half her torso is ''[[Orgasmic Combat|giving her an orgasm]]''.
** Because that alone wouldn't be creepy enough for ''[[Berserk]]'', it should be noted that it's not actually her body at the time. She used [[Squick|a pile of guts from the trolls that Guts had just slaughtered]] to manifest in the physical world. I really wish I made that up.
* Some odd combination of [[Nietzsche Wannabe|nihilistic joy]] and a [[Depraved Homosexual|closeted taste for Plant]] leads Legato of ''[[Trigun]]'' to get off on the idea of being tortured or killed by his master and even Vash the Stampede, who he sees as a [[Psycho Supporter|god]] or... [[Mad Love|something]]... despite [[Murder the Hypotenuse|really wanting Vash dead.]] {{spoiler|This happens, actually. Bullet to the brain, and Legato just [[Sadistic Choice|smiles in victory]].}} This is only speculative in the anime, but it's crystal clear in the much darker manga rendition.

* Ruby in the ''[[Rosario
{{quote|
** She has also likened tying herself up bondage-style to "wrapping the phone cord around your finger when you're bored", and does it with equal frequency. When the [[Harem]] was asked what they were to Tsukune (read: what they ''want'' to be to him), her immediate response was [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/rosario_vampire_season_ii/v06/c023/14.html "toy"] (the official Viz translation uses "plaything" as the answer, but the meaning is preserved).
** During the Volume 4 omakes the other girls try on the chain and let Tsukune shock them once. Kurumu and Koko hate it, Mizore is on the fence about it, Yukari likes it, and the very last panel has Moka try. Yukari looks on at Moka's [[Say It

** When a doppelganger posing as Tsukune gives Ruby what's intended to be a rib-breaking elbow smash, her response is to hug him with a blush of pleasure and beg him to hit her again.
** Another omake has her state that "... inflicting pain on those you love is a wonderful way to show you care!"
* Kakihara in the ''[[Ichi the Killer]]'' manga might be the very ''god'' of this trope. The whole series actually evolves around him pursuing something ''so'' insanely hardcore that even ''he'' will get off on it. The film downplays this somewhat, but is still an example of the trope.
* Played for laughs in ''[[
* As part of his [[Freak-Out]], Hell Kaiser Ryo from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' is forced to duel while wearing electrodes that shock him whenever he loses life points. At first, he hates them, but once his turn to [[The Dark Side]] is complete, he hardly duels ''without'' them.
** Also, Yubel, who enjoys pain and insults. The only things that can scare them are being separated from the one they loves forever, and the threat of being erased from existence.
*** It's more than enjoying the pain and insults. Yubel truly believes for most of third season that extreme agony is the only way to express real love. If you don't hurt the person you claim you love, you don't actually love them.
* Hapxiel of ''[[Macademi Wasshoi]]''.
* Gauron from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''. Face
** The same goes for the female scientist that Gauron was strangling, as further explained in the novels. They ''both'' [[Interplay of Sex and Violence|seemed to enjoy it]], as Gauron even [[
* ''
* Takuma Fudou from ''[[
* Mitarashi Anko is depicted as this in ''[[Naruto]]'' [[Fanon]].
** Hidan is a canon example. He pretty much orgasmed when he {{spoiler|impaled himself, killing Azuma}}.
* Q & R from ''[[Seikon no Qwaser]]'' run around begging people to order or punish them sadistically, and when they don't consider the response to be enough for them, they "disqualify" their target in a very violent fashion. Even when they did encounter someone who impaled them on copper poles and shocked them to death with electricity, they regenerated and begged for more.
* ''[[Durarara!!]]'': For Shinra [[If It's You It's Okay|if the torture is done by Celty, it's hot]]. On one occasion, he spent several hours trapped in one of her shadow-webs, and spent the entire time fantasizing about ways they could be used for S&M. He also doesn't consider regular asskickings a barrier to his [[Vitriolic Best Buds|friendship with Shizuo]].
* Konuma Ryuuko and Haguro Dou of ''[[Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest]]''. So much so that it comes as no surprise when it's revealed that they're dating and that they frequently engage in violent sex and hope to do the same to Inugami whom they both lust after.
** Ryuuko, however, starts subverting it later. Unlike Haguro, her love for torture ''does'' have some small limits...
* Rip Van Winkle in ''[[Hellsing]]''. During their battle, Alucard grabs Rip by the throat, slowly sticks her rifle through her chest until it comes out the other side of her body in an act of symbolic rape, and then sinks his fangs into her neck. And (in the OVA) how does Rip react to this? [[Freud Was Right|By blushing and letting out a series of orgasmic moans.]] [[Looks Like She Is Enjoying It|Not helped by Maaya Sakamoto's voice acting.]] In the manga, the scene is drawn pretty much exactly like a hentai dojin (to be fair Hirano DID quite a bit of those), down to the ridiculously intense blush on Rip's cheeks when Alucard drinks her blood. And her constant wriggling and gasping under his hands as he slowly inserts the rifle through her torso.
** Alucard could also qualify for this trope.
* Road of ''[[D
* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' has Kimblee {{spoiler|the man who kept his identity inside the swirling vortex of hellish creepiness that is pride's typhoon of souls because " howls of anguish are like lullaby to my ears".}}
** It also has {{spoiler|the original}} Greed {{spoiler|who yelled "Ahhh, this is how hot I like my baths! I'm sure the flames of Hell are hotter than this!" as he was burned to death by his own father}}.
* Arthur of ''[[
* Ginka of ''[[Kyouran Kazoku Nikki]]''.
* Tsukuyomi of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''.
* Kenpachi Zaraki of ''[[Bleach]]''. He ''[[Blood Knight|loves]]'' fighting, seems to get off on it, and doesn't mind at all if his opponent manages to cut him in battle. In fact, he hopes for that; the one thing he wants more than anything is a ''good'' fight where he can actually turn himself loose and still keep it interesting.
* Tatewaki Kuno of ''[[Ranma
** [[Sealed Evil in
* Belphegor of ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]''. During their battle, Gokudera manages to hit him with one of his bombs. Belphegor simply sits up while making somewhat orgasmic noises and muttering excitedly "I was hurt again. It's so thrilling!"

* Kou of ''[[Monochrome Factor]]''. In the anime adaptation, he's implied to have a bit of a bondage fetish, present for no other reason than to creep Aya out after she beats him up and he begs for more.
* Yami Marik from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' is also a good example.
* Virgo from ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' will ask for punishment, even if she's doing everything right!

* There's a reference in ''[[Watchmen]]'' to Captain Carnage, a masochist who threw himself in front of masked heroes in an attempt to get beat up. This backfired when {{spoiler|Rorschach threw him down an elevator shaft.}}
* In ''Villains United'', Luthor's Society captures the [[Secret Six]] and they are tortured. Unfortunately, one of the Six is Parademon, an inhabitant of Apokalips, who has dealt with worse daily since childhood, and seems to enjoy the process.

*** And the Penguin in both ''Secret Six'' and ''Birds of Prey'' turns out to be this. He doesn't care when Bane slaps him around and instead asks if one of the female team members could beat him up instead as then he would enjoy it more. And he gets a crush on Dove in Birds of Prey after she knocks him out
* In the comic series ''[[Marshall Law]]'', all the superhumans were created with a process that deadens their ability to feel pain. The Marshal himself wears razorwire wrapped around his arm as part of his costume. Many other "heroes" also mutilate themselves. When the Marshall is tortured, he thanks the torturer for letting him feel again, if for only a moment. Then he feeds the torturer to cannibals. A very dark [[World Half Empty]].

* A cartoon by [[Gahan Wilson]] showed a man on the rack... cracking up the torturers by telling jokes. "... But, seriously...." Of course, it might've been that he was making them laugh too hard to actually inflict any pain on him....▼
* A ''[[Far Side]]'' strip features a pair of demons forcing the damned to toil in a mine. One guy is cheerily pushing a wheelbarrow while whistling. One demon says to another, "You know, I just don't think we're reaching that guy."▼
▲* A cartoon by Gahan Wilson showed a man on the rack... cracking up the torturers by telling jokes. "... But, seriously...." Of course, it might've been that he was making them laugh too hard to actually inflict any pain on him....
* A nameless alien in ''[[Nemesis the Warlock]]'' is in the hands of an inexperienced torturer, while his supervisor comes along. The alien sympathetically agrees with the criticism the supervisor gives, and while the torturer is soon busy receiving an earful from the supervisor, the alien says it'll torture itself if they won't do it.
* In ''[[Supreme Power]]'', Hyperion [[First Time Feeling|feels pain for the first time]] while fighting Doc Spectrum, and asks for [[Incredibly Lame Pun|another hit]].
* In the comic adaptation of [[Neil Gaiman]]'s ''[[Neverwhere]]'', Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar are just as unkillable as they are in the book and TV series, but they also display shades of this trope. In the comic, Mr. Vandemar charges into a fireball with his tongue hanging out, as though he were lapping up the flames; Mr. Croup, meanwhile, seems to derive almost-orgasmic pleasure from devouring a rare vase, blood pouring from his mouth as he swallows the glass shards.
** In Croup's case this is possibly more pleasure taken in destroying something of great value which is also ancient and beautiful, but masochism certainly wouldn't be at odds with his characterization.
* In one comic, [[The Creeper]] is tortured to test his pain threshold. Though he obviously feels pain, he only laughs, telling that he can't help it as the torture tickles before passing out. Any less amount of pain and he just speaks his usual nonsense, meaning that torture for any other reason, would most likely be fairly useless.
** Safe to say that any psychological torture he would only find even more funny.
* During the ''Treasures Of Britain'' arc of ''[[Slaine]]'', Sir Lancelot has taken refuge in a monastery after the death of King Arthur. Slaine conceals himself, while Slaine's rival and his troops arrive to torture the information out of Lancelot regarding the whereabouts of the story's [[MacGuffin]]. Unfortunately for them, they find that he wishes to be tortured as penance for having an affair with Guinevere and even ''offers them his own equipment to do so''.

* With his regenerative powers combined with insanity, torture is completely ineffective for [[Deadpool]].

Pain.
It was unbearable, excruciating, maddening. It felt like he was being roasted, like hot pokers were pressing into his eyes, his mouth, his ears, every inch of his skin, followed by knives being tapped into the very marrow of his bones then twisted, twisted, twisted until he was like Karkaroff's hand or Draco's green peas. He felt like foot-long splinters were being driven under his nails, and he couldn't move, couldn't breathe because he was screaming, screaming so loud, louder than anyone had done under Wednesday, under Grandmama, and there was just pain, pain, pain everywhere…
Lord Voldemort laughed cruelly as he lifted the curse from Harry's panting, shaking body, and his Death Eaters laughed with him, too scared to do anything else.
"Oh…oh…"
"How does it feel, little boy?" Tom hissed threateningly. "How does your first taste of real pain feel?"
"Oh." Harry took a deep shuddering breath, then another one. That pain… had opened his eyes to what was really happening now. "Now I understand why Mother loves red-hot pokers so much."

* Played dead straight in ''[[Anita Blake]]''. The villain Gabriel's dream was to be slowly killed by Anita. Nathaniel, a protagonist, was also quite the masochist. As well as Narcissus, who was more of a grey character.
** Gabriel actually wanted to rape, kill and eat Anita, while she was armed and doing her best to kill him. He was very masochistic, not suicidal. And he's never actually tortured. Also, Nathaniel has limits, but Raina and Gabriel broke him, so that he was incapable of saying "no". He is shown badly hurt and clearly not enjoying it in "Narcissus in Chains" (pinned to the wall by multiple blades) and mentions that he was enjoying prostituting himself until he was gutted in "Burnt Offerings", but not during or after.
* Brutally subverted with Tomasso in Guy Gavriel Kay's ''[[Tigana]]''. He is known throughout the land for being an open homosexual and masochist, but he is nearly driven to tears ''before the real torture even starts'', when the guards are allowed to "play with him". It doesn't help that he was deliberately exaggerating the more outrageous aspects of his lifestyle [[Obfuscating Stupidity|in order to make people underestimate him]], so the masochism, for instance, may have been a complete and utter fiction on his part.
* ''[[The Pilfered Princess]]'': Sarah annoys her torturer by orgasming during a torture session, and spends the entire story begging Inferno to "rape" her. Because, frankly, the Dark Lord's ogres, trolls and other assorted underlings just aren't that good at the whole sex thing.
* In the ''[[Wheel of Time]]'', the Aiel are very, very resistant to torture. Perrin only manages to break his Shaido prisoner in the ninth book by chopping off one of his hands and threatening to chop off his other hand and his feet and leave him like that. When Egwene finally masters the Aiel technique she starts laughing her head off while being beaten, much to her captor's startlement. Semirhage, as the best torturer in the history of existence, doesn't eventually get broken through torture but by the humiliation of being spanked by a woman less than a seventh of her age.

When we get to see on of their on kind "tortured", we see her sit on comfortable pillows, with no chains or restrains and with delicious food and excellent wine. And she complains a lot for it.

In this episode, the Twins emerge after a session with Crachek, look at Madeline and shake their heads. Meanwhile, strapped to his chair in the interrogation room, Crachek has a big smile on his face.
* Drusilla of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' and ''[[Angel]]'' falls into this category as a result of the torture and madness inflicted on her by Angelus. It seems likely that some of it is inherent to being a Buffyverse vampire but not to the degree found in this insane seer. As seen in the ''Angel'' comics when she is sent to Hell with the rest of L.A., but she sees it as her family's pleasant old home.

** One example of this is towards the end of the novel ''Fulgrim'' where one of Ferrus Mannus' bodyguards is about to crush a fallen Emperor's Children legionnaire, the legion that fell to Slaanesh, who took a full hit from a flamethrower and pauses when he sees the look on the Marine's face isn't pain from having his entire body burned with futuristic napalm but ecstatic pleasure.

* ''[[Exalted]]'' has a fighting style called Laughing Wounds, pioneered by the Lover Clad in the Raiment of Tears, who may very well be the physical incarnation of this trope. To give you an idea of what it's like, one of the first Charms one can learn in the style allows you to turn wound penalties into attack bonuses. And yes, whips and chains count as form weapons, and a BDSM sense of fashion is included.
* In the ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' setting exists the goddess [http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Loviatar Loviatar], The Maiden of Pain.

* Hanch from ''[[Drakengard]] 2'' does this too. Over the course of the boss fight against her and her pact-beast, the things she says (and the noises she makes) imply that she's actually rather enjoying getting the crap beaten out of her.
* ''[[Shadow Hearts]]: Covenant'' has this when the party is thrown in jail on St. Marguerite Island and held at the mercy of dominatrix foe [[The Vamp|Veronica]]. The player has to choose which character will be tortured by her from a list of each character's responses to the idea of being tortured, most of which are defiant or fearful, but one of which is ecstatic as the prospect.
