VENUS IN FURS is Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's legendary confession of a fur fetishist, Severin, whose sexual pleasure derives from absolute self-subjugation to a cruel, semi-naked whip-wielding mistress. Bonus material featured in this special ebook edition includes "The Black Czarina", Sacher-Masoch's notorious 4-part tale of dominance, submission and decapitation, and also a revealing selection of case histories of sexual debasement from the Psychopathia Sexualis of Krafft-Ebing, who named this paraphilia "masochism" in recognition of Sacher-Masoch's masterly literary evocations. Taken from the ultimate edition of Krafft-Ebing's compendium, these histories include extreme cases of masochists who devour human ordure, and other shocking fetishes of self-degradation.
