As much as you perceive Wanker to be a sadist, that's how much of a masochist he was in his self-destructive ways.



They are by no means mutually exclusive. The two sides often co-exist within a person, coming out a different times. Compare and contrast the need to abuse Doron with the alcoholic self destruction.

I'm no shrink, but from what I vaguely remember from college psych classes almost 20 years ago, I think the two sides grow more extreme as they war with each other, vying for dominance. Trouble of the largest kind usually ensues.
