C) The masochistic behavior would receive a diagnosis, but not the sadistic behavior
D) Rachel and Simon both qualify for a diagnosis of sexual disorder.

The mild sadistic and masochistic behaviors described are not severe enough to meet the criteria for a diagnosis of sexual sadism or sexual masochism disorder. These behaviors are consensual and do not cause significant distress or impairment for either individual involved. It is important to note, however, that if these behaviors became more extreme, caused harm or distress to either partner, or were non-consensual, a diagnosis of a sexual disorder may be appropriate.
