Masochism has always been part of human culture.
Its essence seems simple: to experience pain, after which it is much better to feel in contrast. In one form or another, masochism is inherent in millions of people: workaholics, fans of tattoos, BDSM activists, ultramarathons, ballerinas, religious ascetics and lovers of unbearably acute pepper.
Masochism variations can be stunning, and its various faces have long awaited their researcher.
Lee Court is an ideal researcher for this topic. All her life she was an avid masochist, who was in search of the most acute painful sensations. On the pages of this book, she takes part in BDSM sessions, understands why people are pressing on burning peppers and communicating with psychologists, as well as other people who are looking for pleasure in pain. Court explores how our brain and body react to pain, what is the meaning in it and how it can absorb us entirely
