'Masochism is one way of bringing together a Christian contempt for the flesh with a pagan delight in it.'

'Religious self-mortification involves a wide array of practices... all designed to humble the flesh. Sexual mortification, on the other hand, has its rewards in this world and in erotic satisfactions that are out of bounds for religious devotees.'

Anita Phillips, A Defense of Masochism, publisher: St. Martin’s Press
