1. The essence of a sexual relationship is a relationship of power.
2. Good sex consists of three dimensions: primal impulse, service consciousness, and emotional resonance. Like Bach's organ polyphony.
3. Sex, death, and violence are psychologically homologous. No matter how deviant Joe may be, her self-destructive behavior reveals that aggression is still inward. "I want all the holes to be filled." i.e. "I want to be truly loved and understood." And Joe's sympathy for a pedophile who doesn't commit a crime is a caring for himself, due to the marginalized Sexual fetishes may never be truly understood for their entire lives.
4. No matter how immoral, extreme, and pathological, women's sexuality belongs only to themselves, just as every human being should have full autonomy over his own body. No means no, Joe's life has been dominated by desire, but deep down she has always had a kind of self-appreciation, a bottom-line kindness, she is not a poor mental patient, but a life fighter who knows how to use a pistol properly .
5. BDSM may be one of the most complex relationships in human nature. Because of its extreme nature, the relationship pattern in sadomasochism is so strong that it creates the illusion of "forever", "stable" and "intimate", and people who are hungry all year round cannot resist gluttony.
6. Religion, philosophy, poetry, death, classical music, lunatics, bizarre lore and sex all put together, and it's as bloody as throwing Mentos into Coke.
