THE MARQUIS DE SADE
(June 2nd, 1740~December 2nd, 1814)
was a sadist.
The French aristocrat became so notorious for his deviant sexual practices, perversions,
and erotic writings which combined pornography with philosophy and violent sexual fantasies,
that his name gave rise to the terms sadist and sadism.
His sexual fantasies’ emphasis on violence, criminality, and blasphemy –
and his real life partaking of criminally violent sexual practices –
kept him behind bars in prisons and insane asylums for most of his adult life.
He spent 32 years behind bars, including 10 in the Bastille.
Most of his writings were penned while he was incarcerated.
