Sex without pain is like food without taste

Certain souls may seem harsh to others, but it is just a way, beknownst only to them, of caring and feeling more deeply.

Sex should be a perfect balance of pain and pleasure. Without that symmetry, sex becomes a routine rather than an indulgence.

Fear not lest precautions and protective contrivances diminish your pleasure: mystery only adds thereto.

The completest submissiveness is your lot, and that is all.

I have supported my deviations with reasons; I did not stop at mere doubt; I have vanquished, I have uprooted, I have destroyed everything in my heart that might have interfered with my pleasure.

Is it not a strange blindness on our part to teach publicly the techniques of warfare and to reward with medals those who prove to be the most adroit killers?
