I'll buy the fact that violence is less tempting, or titillating at any rate. But for myself, I'd rather have a brief fling with porn than a punch on the nose. What I can't get my head around is masochism - it strikes me as being an activity where the person has a guilty conscience with the act which they assuage by making it painful. This way they enjoy forbidden pleasure and feel they have paid the price in agony. That's not my idea of having a pleasurable experience

- which, it strikes me, is what it's all about.
