A preeminent psychoanalyst explores the world of consensual
S&M. An expert on the dynamics of perversion and erotic
excitement, Dr. Stoller sets out on an expedition to the S&M
community of West Hollywood. We meet the highly articulate Ron, who
serves as a guide to the fetishes and bizarre practices of both
casual and devoted proponents of sadomasochism. We are introduced
to Marilyn and Claudelle, two warmly opinionated entrepreneurs of a
B&D (bondage and discipline) establishment. The arcane business
of S&M videos is documented by Merlin, and enthusiastic
producer of pornography. Most interesting are Dr. Stoller's
provocative questions to these denizens of the S&M world and
his engaging musings on their answers.Like an anthropologist in New
Guinea, Dr. Stoller observes the customs of these natives. He
studies them in his quest for insight into the perplexing question
of why some people associate pain and humiliation with intense
erotic desire. Thus, his journey is not only external, but
internal--into the meaning and boundaries of the term "perversion"
and its place within the psyche. He investigates how the theater of
the imagination is moved into the real world's reverberating
complexity. In the course of this journey, Dr. Stoller changes his
views, first referring to these S&M practitioners as specimens
and then perceiving them, in their ambiguities and contradictions,
as human beings. By joining Dr. Stoller, we find not only nuances
in the meanings of consensual sadomasochism but larger implications
of what being human means.
