The Social Construction of Sexuality and Perversion [PDF ebook] 
Deconstructing Sadomasochism

This book deconstructs the pathologizing category of ‘sadomasochism’ in order to account for the ‘lived realities’ of consensual ‘SM’ play, emphasizing the connection between the corporeal and the political in contemporary consumer cultures. It discusses the homogenization of desire and ownership and use of ‘body’ and ‘sexual ethics’.
