Pleasure.

Is pleasure happily in bankrupt?

One feels helpless when our suffering is the main inducer of our own pleasure. Is it true that suffering is the sweetest of pleasure?

Involuntary masochism is the biggest uncontrollable epidemic of the 21 century. It is the psychiatric cancer of our times. And we have not even mentioned BDSM.

When there is no more pleasure left to squeeze, and this is a tough one to agree on, we can always gorge on more of the same or we can start biting on the unexplored pain.

Pleasure is so great. You just don’t want to burn out. Pain can be so sweet, we just don’t want to depend on it. Boredom can make us so depressed, we just don’t want our dick or pussy to glutton away from orgasms.

From Freud"s pleasure principle we embarked on Lacan's pain principle and ended up with Trump: "Grab them by their pussy", as his unconscious shouts painfully happy: "Vive la jouissance."

The pain that is not pain is not pain and the pain that is pain is pain. Yet, the pleasure that is pleasure might require more than pleasure and not pain in order not to be pleasure, so that it can continue to be pleasure, very high quality pleasure, even in the sewers of all pleasures.
