Still More Questions Asked to Elise by Women:

Q. A friend of mine mentioned that a must read for FemDom女性支配 — female domination couples is the book "Venus in Furs". Apparently it was written over 100 years ago but the author was ahead of his time when it came to Female Domination and male submission. I think a movie was written about the author a couple years ago and I think I saw it. If I am remembering correctly his character was played by Geoffrey Rush and the lead female character was played by Kate Winslet. Does this ring a bell? I believe it was called "Quill".

Do you recommend the book "Venus in Furs"?

A. You are confusing Leopold von Sacher-Masoch with Marquis de Sade. The movie "Quills" was about the life of de Sade, whom the word Sadism is based on. The word masochist comes from the life of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, who is the author of "Venus in Furs".

De Sade wrote sadistic novels and letters, some about the raping, torturing and even the murder of women. He was thrown into prison because the French society thought his works were decadent and dangerous. Leopold von Sacher-Masoch was a talented writer and his works were considered erotic but were never classified as pornographic, even in 1870 Europe. De Sade was classified as being insane whereas Sacher-Masoch was well respected, although his sexual desires were later classified as being perverted.
