route82: “The book “Venus in Furs” by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch is about a man with strong masochistic and submissive fantasies. He worships the Goddess Venus and he pursues his fantasies and meets a wealthy woman named Wanda, whom he starts a romance with. He tells her of his masochism and his desire to be her slave. She agrees to indulge his fantasy out of her love for him but ends up loving being a sadistic woman and exceeds his wildest expectations. Sound familiar? It is a very common story that has been played out in real life by couples over and over again. The man introduces the wife or girlfriend to his submissive fantasies and desires, the wife indulges the husband or boyfriend purely out of her love for him, but the woman grows to love her newly discovered power and dominant nature and she ends up taking her man deeper into submission to her than he ever dared fantasized about.“ -- source link
