Deconstructing Sadomasochism
"This book deconstructs the social construction of 'Sadomasochism' via insights into the lived realities of consensual 'SM' practitioners. Through this fascinating ethnographic approach, Andrea Beckmann defamiliarizes 'sexuality' and 'sadomasochism' and exposes their true functional relationship to power.
