Torture

In SM, torture is generally used to indicate activities that involve pain of some sort. Torture differs from physical punishment in that a punishment forms part of a disciplinary process resulting from a transgression by the sub. Torture on the otherhand is caried out either to break the will of the sub or because the top is a sadist and enjoys the act of inflicting pain.

A common example is Male genitorture, any technique that is used as physical punishment can be used to torture the victim.
