Beschreibung

The “happy-few” aspect of the sadomasochistic relations, the fashions that have had a great impact on the population, make these practices seem somewhat commonplace. A number of magazines and films recount these sexual adventures with complete honesty. The enthusiasts are no longer exceptions. Beyond the stereotypes of women in leather boots with a whip in hand, they discover the pleasures of pain. It is a form of sexuality where pleasure looses its codification since procreation is no longer the goal. Travelling towards the limits of emotions is the theme explored by Professor Döpp, supporting his developments on an exceptional iconography.

On the Ecstasies of the Whip

For Isabelle Azoulay

A diagnosis of contemporary sexual behaviour would reveal a paradox. On the one hand, there are increasing complaints of a lack of excitement and enthusiasm in the sexual sphere, something also encountered in psychoanalytical practice. After a long period of permissiveness, a return to the “new prudery” appears to be in vogue. This was already beginning to emerge before the subject of AIDS provided an additional chill in the bedroom. The flesh is sad. (Here we are speaking of the behaviour of the consumers of sex and those who practise it, not of the spheres of state or clergy; these always distinguished themselves by their old-fashioned ideas and prudery and still have not reached the stage of genital maturity after all this time, as the discussion on the policy concerning brothels in the old West Germany proved). On the other hand, an increase in clubs of a fetishistic nature and their corresponding magazines is to be noted. Films such as Baise-Moi make violence between the sexes their only subject. S&M and flagellation appear to have become lifestyle elements. A search for “S&M” using the Google search engine currently produces about 171,000 hits! While on the one hand, it appears as if all energy is being withdrawn from eroticism, apparent aggressiveness is attracting the attention of the entire libido in a way that is full of excitement and power.

Through the Sade exhibition that was opened in Zurich in December 2001 under the title of Sade/Surreal, the notorious Marquis has been accorded the venerable status of a classic at a time when sexuality itself appears to have forfeited its explosive power.

It would be reasonable to ask whether there is a connection between the increase in sado-masochistic subjects and the increasing brutalization of life in the community. But above all what we are concerned with here is the fate of the compulsive desires of individuals, in which something which has until now been concealed demands expression. Is this not a widespread phenomenon that implies a widespread dilemma where desire is concerned?

The moment of violence, to whatever degree it might be diluted, is probably one of the ingredients of erotic experience. However, what was once regarded as illegal or immoral in sexual matters was rehabilitated, disinfected, hygienically packaged and dragged up to a legally acceptable level where a contract could be entered into. Discussions concerning violence against women and child abuse created a climate in which every accompanying erotic fantasy which contained even the slightest hint of violence had to evaporate. But as Bataille well knew, violence and pain remain inseparable from the experience of pleasure.
