Final answer:

Sexual Masochistic Disorder is characterized by recurrent, intense sexual excitement in response to humiliation or suffering, with such acts involving a consenting partner. Aggression towards a partner and inhibited sexual excitement do not typically feature in this disorder.

Step-by-step explanation:

The associated features of Sexual Masochistic Disorder primarily center on a person's sexual excitement in response to humiliation, beating, being bound, or suffering in general. According to the question, the correct associated features are:

  1. Recurrent intense sexual fantasies, urges, or behaviors involving the act of being humiliated, beaten, bound, or otherwise made to suffer.
  2. Consenting partner - the activities involved in masochistic scenarios are typically between consenting adults, and consent is a critical aspect of differentiating disorder from abuse.
