I don't think it's possible to separate the two easily except on a desert island. It's like needs vs wants. Another distinction I don't make

you yourself mentioned sadism, martial arts, endurance sports, etc. - all of them cause pain in a non-suffering context

okay, then say "non-consensual and/or coerced pain and suffering". that should separate out voluntarily experienced pain.
