Desire to get hurt in this way suppressed by male pride briefly (9)
I believe the answer is:
masochism
This clue could be a double definition.
'desire' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both feelings as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'hurt in this way suppressed by male pride briefly' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.
'to get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for masochism that I've seen before include "sex-based pleasure" , "Morbid gratification in suffering pain" , "Tendency to enjoy one's own suffering" .)
