It's nothing to look forward to

First of all, the things between these two people are nothing to yearn for, let alone praise. Think about it, if you can't fill your stomach, will you have the mind to make love every day?

From a psychological point of view, these are not two normal people. A woman who has been sexually assaulted and abused since she was a teenager, her limbic system has been permanently damaged over time, lacks the empathy function of a normal person, and cannot produce pleasure without super-intensive stimulation, which can explain why Does she have Stockholm Syndrome? As for the man, he enjoys torture, which in itself fits the brain characteristics of a serial killer. Only super stimulation can bring pleasure. Of course, there is also the aspect of sex addiction, which I will not analyze further.

Such two people, as normal people, do you still envy and yearn for them?
