Have to enjoy power and control over others. Hurting is one of the means, not necessary, but I'd imagine enjoying hurting others would motivate the practicing of STS skills which would increase STS polarization. I'd say not caring about others' feelings is a necessity.
Aliester Crowley doesn't seem to enjoy controlling others.. I don't enjoy any of that either.
But I can get selfish and emotionless in certain situations. my best friend many times has said: ''You're evil''
He did enjoy controlling others in my understanding. His apprentice was subject to intense sadomasochism, which broke him and made this poor guy basically Crowley's slave.
If you're interested, this is an article on Crowley, you might find it helpful:
