What does /lit/ think of Sacher-Masoch? Was he a great writer or just pervert?

People genuinely liked his novels at the time, I read his ex-wife's memoir and he was pretty successful. Also had tons of girls mailing him all the time and turned on by the femdom thing. I want to go back.

And Sade fucked the housekeepers in his luxury asylum. They were onto something.

I started openly admitting to being a sub on dating profiles and got more attention than ever, try it. You only really need one anyway.

I really enjoyed Venus In Furs. I disagreed with him on many points, and think his characterization of women especially flat at times, but he still has valuable perspectives, excellently written, and by modern standards the book is quite clean. There isn't a single graphic sex scene. If we turn on almost any movie or television show - perhaps even an advertisement, we'll be bombarded with worse. I would really like to read the works he wrote on Property. I recommend reading him, but enjoy it as intellectual entertainment - a perspective to be heard and conversed with, not a lecture to be received as fact.
