«Sadomasochism: Painful Perversion or Pleasurable Play?» is Bill Thompson's sociological essay, published in paperback (288 pages, in English).
A critical study of sadomasochism that contrasts psychological theories and moral condemnations with the real practices of its practitioners. Taking Operation Spanner as its starting point, it analyses the criminalisation of SM, the convergences between evangelical, feminist and psychiatric critiques, and argues for a more tolerant reading.
The work was published in 1994 and includes bibliographical references (pages 266-273) and an index.
For readers of sociology, criminology and gender studies, and for anyone wishing to delve deeper into debates on sexuality and criminal law.
