superabundant growth of beard, and my whole body is very hairy. In my
relations to the female sex that are not masochistic, the dominating
position of the man is an indispensable condition, and any attempt to
change it would meet with my energetic opposition. I am energetic, if
not over-courageous; but the want of courage is not manifest when my
pride is injured. I am not sensitive to events in nature
(thunder-storms, storms at sea, etc.).[63]
Too, my masochistic tendencies have nothing feminine or effeminate
about them (?). To be sure, in these the inclination to be sought and
desired by the woman is dominant; but the general relation desired
with her is not that in which a woman stands to a man, but that of the
slave to the master, the domestic animal to its owner. If one regards
the ultimate aim of masochism without prejudice, it must be
acknowledged that its ideal is the position of a dog or horse. Both
are owned by masters, and punished by them; and the masters are
responsible to no one. Just this unlimited power of life and death, as
exercised over slaves and domestic animals, is the end and aim of all
masochistic ideas.
