ITT recommend non-shit erotic/semi-erotic literature.

It is far too permissible for something to have no artistic quality control as long as it attempts to be sexually arousing. Why not both?

About to pick this up at the library.

>As a man, Sacher-Masoch cannot lose anything in the estimation of his cultured fellow-beings simply because he was afflicted with an anomaly of his sexual feelings. As an author, he suffered severe injury so far as the influence and intrinsic merit of his work is concerned, for so long and whenever he eliminated his perversion from his literary efforts he was a gifted writer, and as such would have achieved real greatness had he been actuated by normally sexual feelings. In this respect he is a remarkable example of the powerful influence exercised by the vita sexualis be it in the good or evil sense over the formation and direction of man's mind.

Pure ideology! If Sacher-Masoch was just another gifted author writing about whatever he wouldn't have had a privileged spot in cultural history. Being a gifted author is one thing, being the origin of the term masochism is something special. It is, obviously, not the same thing as saying that someone is a platonist. Many people probably don't even know that sadism comes from de Sade and masochism from Sacher-Masoch.

And yes, I am arguing with a wikipedia entry. Sometimes I'm a real masochist.
