Li Yinhe talks about sex

Preface to Chapter 41 "Venus in a Fur Coat"
The publication of "Venus in a Fur Coat" in China not only witnessed the existence of a large number of lovers of adult sex games like sadomasochism in China, but also made us feel that the sex life of Chinese people has begun to get rid of the burden of childbirth. Motivation becomes an elegant and aesthetic spiritual activity.

Massok is a famous Austrian writer with masochistic tendencies. Like Sade, his real life is also closely connected with his literary works.His heroines are all icy: marble bodies, stone women, icy Venuses, all like frozen statues in the moonlight.Masok believed that women were created to tame the bestial impulses of men.He is always attracted to women who are stronger and older than himself, he submits to her, and she physically abuses him when his bestial urges manifest themselves.Later, his sadomasochistic fantasies took on a more explicit and distinctive pattern, always featuring a woman in fur (Masok had a fetish for fur, apparently), holding a sex symbol whip, to scour his lover for his bestial lust.Although the scenes in his novels are slightly different, they always contain similar whiplash episodes.

"Venus in a Fur Coat" is Masok's most important sadomasochistic work.This is the story of an aristocratic man who volunteers to be a lady's slave.He was willing to be driven by her, to be punished by her, to make himself the property over which she had a life-and-death right.In the process of the two of them getting along, the woman was always reluctant, and in the end she empathized with another person and cruelly ended their relationship.The names of the heroes and heroines of Masok's books, Severin and Vanda, have become symbols of the relationship between male slave and female master, and are often sought out in sadomasochist mate-seeking advertisements in modern newspapers and magazines. People with such partners use.The agreement between Wanda and Severin has also become a model for such agreements in master-slave relationships in sadomasochism.Masoch's work is a classic of masochism because it is the model for all subsequent sadomasochistic literature, and it has all the elements in later sadomasochistic literature: bondage, whipping, master-slave contract , slave-master relationship and rule-subordination relationship.The literary value of his sadomasochism novels is also relatively high, which makes it different from general pornographic literature, and has entered the ranks of classics together with Sade's works.

Masochists and sadists have very different superego-ego structures.A comparison of Sade's novels with those of Masok reveals that they are quite different.Sade's novels are about crime and sex; Marsock's are about self-deprecation and insatiable desire.The two also have very different attitudes towards women: Sade's women are always passive and masochistic, while Masok's women are sadists.The former always want to destroy women or have sex with women, demeaning women; the latter always idealize women, making her a fantasy figure, and there is almost no sexual relationship with male slaves.The former is concerned with numbers, mainly the number of female victims; the latter is concerned with individuals.In the world created by Sade, which is full of various activities, in the world of Masok, what is important is not action, but waiting, waiting for unexpected tenderness and cruelty, a delayed consumption.The former never appeals to emotion; while Masock's protagonist is full of expectations for sex and affection when he is whipped.

Unlike Sade's literature, masochistic literature is erotic but not obscene.Sade's novels are full of obscene descriptions and direct actions. There is no exploration of the secrets of the body, only action; Marsock's novels are game-like, with a stronger flavor of fantasy.In the latter, abuser and masochist sometimes switch roles; but in the former, switching roles is never possible: if a woman suffers voluntarily, she is immediately rejected by the abuser Furthermore, sadism and masochism are even less likely to be mutually consensual.

The famous writer and philosopher Druze believes that: Sade's sadism is real cruelty; Masock's masochism is fantasy and game violence.His analysis of these two writers may be apt, but it would be incorrect to base sadism and masochism on the basis of this analysis as being entirely separate domains.In modern sadomasochistic activities, sadism is not the real atrocity described by Sade, but like masochism, it has the nature of fantasy and games.And both the sadist and the masochist are voluntary.Because of this, sadomasochism can become the sexual practice and sex game of a considerable proportion of the population, rather than the brutality of a few criminals.

Congratulations on the publication of "Venus in a Fur Coat" in China. Its publication not only witnessed the existence of a large number of lovers of sadomasochistic sex games for adults in China, but also made us feel that the sex life of Chinese people It has begun to get rid of the motive of procreation and has become an elegant and aesthetic spiritual activity.
