I've always been interested in understanding why some people are attracted to things like pain, particular parts of the body (feet, hands, armpits and so on), being dominated etc.
However I only know two authors that could help me understand paraphilia: De Sade and Bataille.
I haven't read any of their books yet.
Are there other authors who talk about sex and paraphilia?
What are the best books about these topics? Where should I start?

We just had a giant thread on this that got nuked by the mods. Read Anne Lawrence's book "Galileo's Middle Finger," then read the scientific work of the people concerned (J. Michael Bailey, James Cantor, and Ray Blanchard).

Can we please do these discussions on /d/ in future?

Philosophy in the Bedroom elaborates on sensual sex better than other works by de Sade, tit-fucking, ass fucking, blowjobs, it goes into detail about proper etiquette and those joys derived
