In my opinion, reading this is a must for anyone who is at least remotely interested in the psychology of sadism and/or masochism. Deleuze spends the entire length of the text essentially decoupling masochism and sadism, with a focus on masochism as it appears in the art of Masoch, and leaves no stone left unturned. I found myself agreeing with most of what was written and learning something in the process.
