Venus in Furs
Ritter von Leopold Sacher-Masoch
Book Overview:
Made into 2013 film, Venus in Furs, by Academy Award winning director, Roman Polanski,
Story of a man who willingly makes himself a sexual slave of a beautiful woman whom he loves. Tantalizing erotic tale of sexual obsession, submission, perversion and control.
Severin is so infatuated with Wanda, that he requests to be treated as her slave, and encourages her to treat him in progressively more degrading ways. At first Wanda does not understand or relate to the request, but after humoring Severin she finds the advantages of the method to be stimulating and enthusiastically embraces the idea; though at the same time, she disdains Severin for allowing her to do so.
Perfect book for fans of erotica including Fifty Shades of Grey (50 Shades trilogy) by E L James.

Sometimes I should like to paint her as Psyche, and then again as Astarte. It depends upon the expression in her eyes, whether it is vaguely dreamy, or half-consuming, filled with tired desire. She, however, insists that it be a portrait-likeness.
I shall make her a present of furs.
How could I have any doubts? If not for her, for whom would princely furs be suitable?
I was with her yesterday evening, reading the Roman Elegies to her. Then I laid the book aside, and improvised something for her. She seemed pleased; rather more than that, she actually hung upon my words, and her bosom heaved.

Ok - I just wanted to read this book to understand where the term masochist came from - now I do - I think - or as much as I want to understand. There are some insightful passages in this book; and it is a book that I may read again. Would be of particular interest to anyone studying the social scie
