Need some help....

At the end of the day, you get what you pay for in anything in life. And that is rather a fact, no matter what obscure quote you choose to support your vague rationalisation.

Donatien Alphonse Francois de Sade's philosophical contribution goes way beyond the introduction of the flogger as an erotic accessory. He put conventional ethics, including your own mercantile one, upside down with forceful argumentation. I will not trade 'obscure' quotes with you, as I suspect anything written in Sade's brilliant, incisive language will be obscure to you, and I will not discuss 'vague' rationalisations with somebody as blissfully ignorant of his works and legacy. Go on diddling your fetishes. You can even call yourself a sadist - treason was, for him, a cardinal virtue, and he loved the girls who do it for money.

I can roll my eyes up, too.
