“pauline reage is usually compared to sade and the only thing that she resembles him is the constant theme sadism and masochism. i found the story of o to be more erotic and sensual (somewhat disturbing in some minor parts) than that of 120 Days of Sodom written by sade.”

“Tiresome existential posturing - surely sex isn't this complicated?”
