algophile (plural algophiles)

  1. Synonym of algophilist
    • 1991, Magnus Hirschfeld, Transvestites: The Erotic Drive to Cross-dress, page 179:
      If there are only a few algophiles (lovers of pain) among transvestites, then, on the other hand, it appears one does find among the truly extensive community of masochistic men that the drive to clothe oneself as a woman is present only very, very rarely.
