is the creation of pleasure, a process of invention, and the use of a strategic relationship as a source of pleasure.

The practice of S/M is the creation of pleasure. . . . And that's why S/M is really a subculture. It's a process of invention. S/M is the use of a strategic relationship as a source of pleasure. Michel Foucault

is, in fact, two entirely unrelated impulses which have been erroneously brought under a single term. The sadist derives pleasure from refusing the ego in service of the superego. The masochist is defined by pleasure through delayed gratification.

Giving (i.e. sadism) or receiving (i.e. masochism) pleasure from physical or emotional (i.e. humiliation) pain. Freud suggests that the complex forms in response to spanking, whipping, or beating in childhood. The term sado-masochism refers to the 19th century Leopold von Sacher-Masoch on the one hand and the 18th century Marquis de Sade on the other. They were distinct phenomena before being placed together by Isador Sadger and soon thereafter, Freud. Gilles Deleuze separated the terms back out, suggesting that they arise out of unconnected impulses. the sadist, he contends, derives pleasure from refusing the ego in service of 'the law' or the impersonal superego. For him, the masochist, by contrast, is defined by pleasure through delayed gratification.

is the coordinate grounds for sexuality as a kind of oscillation between an intoxication of my own flesh as object (masochism), and an appropriation of the other's flesh as an object of appropriation (sadism).

T hey are hopeless even as sexual maneuvers.!Vlasochism amounts to intoxication ''with my flesh as object, whichthe Other helps me to realize by using me as nothing else. appropriates the Other's flesh but treats it as nothing but an objectof appropriation. In either event, the ideal of sexual desire isdefeated. Nevertheless, Sartre claims, sadism and masochismprovide the coordinates for sexuality in general: 'It is because ofthis inconstancy on the part of desire and its perpetual oscillationbetween these two perils that 'normal' sexuality is commonlydesignated as 'sadistic-masochistic.''Sartre's novels and plays generally depict sex as a compendiumof sadism and masochism. And among his later theoreticaldiscussions, one could argue that none really mitigates his critique ofsexuality in Being and Nothingness. In that book he sometimes seems. . .

is about inventing new possibilities of pleasure through the erotization of nongenital parts of the body.

For Foucault pleasure is both creative and transformative. Sadomasochistic sex, for example, was intriguing for Foucault because he saw it as expanding the possibilities of pleasure. Even though an outsider might view S/M as painful and violent, such a view, according to Foucault, 'is stupid.' 126 Instead, S/M is about 'inventing new possibilities of pleasure with strange [or different] parts of the body-through the erotization of [ nongenital] parts of the body.' 127 Sadomasochism, Foucault concludes, is 'the real creation of new possibilities of pleasure, which people had no idea about previously.'
