Not me. I find algolagniacs quite useful. Actually, I find algolagnia itself useful, too, especially when giving birth. Gotta love those endorphins. Demerol is for wimps.

'algolagniaphobia' ? Could be from 'algophobia' - fear of pain, and 'lagnappe' - gratuity. Fear of painful gratuity? Gotta love Wolfe and his corny coinage. -KT
