If you've ever been curious about where the term "masochism" comes from, you will find it laden in the pages of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's masterpiece, Venus in Furs, for whom the term was named. Drawn in part from his own life experiences, Sacher-Masoch's novel develops an eroticism unlike any other. The book's protagonist, Severin, is so infatuated and obsessed with the object of his desire, Wanda, that he asks to be her slave. Although hesitant at first, Wanda's treatment of Severin becomes more and more depraved, fueling Severin's own desires for cruelty.

The story , a guy saying he wants to submit , could be wonderful if told in an interesting, realistic way which this is not. The reader was good but i have nobody to compare it with. Jeremy Irons read Lolita and anything is downhill after that, eh. I listened to Roth's 'Sabbath's Theater' and 'Venus in Furs' is so tame in comparison. After 3 hours of this i can't handle it anymore. It's written well enough i suppose but the guy, Gregor or whatever name he goes by, and his 'dominatrix' are so boring after 3 hours of conversation which goes 'no place'. They talk about submitting and dominating for 3 hours while doing neither. As long as they 'talk about submitting and being a slave' , and such talk , just remains 'talk'. Jabbering about the same thing in ridiculous language. I want to be your slave , no i don't yes i do. I want to dominate you no i don't yes i do. I'll die for you then good that means i can kill you if i want to. I didn't know you were this bad. I am not this bad oh i am this bad yes i am no i'm not yes you are no you aren't yes i am. There's nothing interesting about this. Both people, obviously, are as self absorbed and selfish and self centered as two people can get.
