Masochists enjoy their own pain, sadists enjoy others' pain. I learned the name of the disease where you can't feel pain, but don't recall it.

Thanks guys, you're right a Masochist is someone who enjoys pain, looked it up as soon as you prompted my memory to be sure. Closest thing I could find to an inability to feel pain is something called 'pain asymbolia' which is recognition of pain but failure to suffer from it. There is also Analgesia, which is, according to Wikipedia "...an alteration of the sense of pain without loss of consciousness."
