Only if the hang with other sadists. That is why they hang with masochists.
Regardless, if a sadist asks a masochist to beat him, it would just confuse him or turn him off and nothing would be done to anyone.
The insane or really strange likely do not follow intelligent rules.

Remains pap a ' one size fits all ' answer
Because as I put forward in my view it reflects back to the questioner who provides their own answer
Consent NOT required
I think your correct in that not many people walk down the street punching others in the face
Their internal values prevent such action
Pychos held in check by laws
However if a pycho is walking along punching others in the face and is picked up by a officer of the law
It seems to me simply the psycho (ask the officer does he follow the golden rule
If answer yes) <<<< this step can be missed
Psycho ask officer
Do you want to go to jail
Officer NO
Then under the golden rule let me go
Of course it is. That's pretty much the point.
Agreed. And supporting those values is the simple test - "would I want someone to do that to me?"
Officer - Well, I could punch you in the face with this nightstick, since you are OK with that, but I will be nicer than that and just take you to jail.
Policy is. Action you desire to take on others is not.
You are making a fool of yourself. Why not just admit you were wrong, and move on?

No.
Sadists do not enjoy having pain inflicted upon themselves. They enjoy inflicting pain on others. This actually says nothing about how they themselves would like to be treated.
You are confusing sadism with masochism.
That's why it would be immoral to impose it on someone else, but sacrificing your own well being for another is the definition of altruism.
Of which all Abramic religions have .

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Deuteronomy 24:16 (ESV) "Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.
Ezekiel 18:20 (ESV) The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
The declaration which says that God visits the sins of the fathers upon the children is contrary to every principle of moral justice. [Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason]
Better a fool than a coward without the stones to take responsibility for his own actions.

Sacrifice? What sacrifice?
Can a God die?
Can theists ignore good common sense and morality?
Read the quotes just above please.

Even if misguided, if the human being Jesus willingly turned himself in to the authorities thinking his death would teach people a lesson about holding to your principles, that's a powerful act of altruism.

If the principle are worthy, you would have a point.
If you are reading the more Eastern esoteric mystical Jesus, then I will agree.
If you are talking the Rome created Roman ass kissing pacifist Jesus, then I would disagree. His morals and lessons are crap. Especially his no divorce for women policy as well as his asking his sheeple to find justice in substitutionaru atonement.

That would really help the victims family gain closure as they see your murderous face walk by their house the next day.
Only a fool will advocate for substitutionary atonement.
That is why no court would accept it. It is immoral.
Tell us how you would feel if it was your child's murderer moving in next door?
Would you think justice was done with the death of some other innocent man?

I murdered someone trapped under a rock who was dying of cancer and would have had his injuries pain added to his cancer pain
He had no family or friends for over 10 years he lived alone
See how easy it is to create a scenario to fit any point of view
Except having someone else let themself become a crispy instead of me is not technically speaking substitutionary atonement
Which is the name given to a number of Christian models of the atonement that all regard Jesus as dying as a substitute for others, 'instead of' them
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitutionary_atonement
Don't see my case there
My case is more ' taking my punishment '

Really?
With what, these?
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Deuteronomy 24:16 (ESV) "Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.
Ezekiel 18:20 (ESV) The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.
As above, so below.
Scriptures say that Christians are to emulate God.
If you decided a blood sacrifice was required, would you send your only child, or would you have a better moral sense than God and step up yourself.
Who should die first, you or your child?
Most men would step up and thus show a better moral position than God.

What? Sexual proclivities are not relegated to a specific religious group.
