Common research flaws.

Before proceeding in analyzing femdom fetish and masochism (again, talking about males exclusively) it must be stressed that most researchers stop analyzing masochism at the point that they found that the masochist enjoys his life and his masochistic activities and that without engaging in masochistic activities, he gets depressed. Most researchers also rest upon masochists' claims that their need to submit, to worship, to suffer for the name of their love object, to taste the body fluids of the love object, etc are all parts of intimacy, sexual arousal intensification, etc and they get convinced by these claims. Most researchers ended up into the trap to consider male masochism as a sexual preference that there is no worry to engage to masochistic activities etc. Ofcourse this is a tragic mistake because they fail to analyze and possibly develop treatments to cure the trauma behind masochism. As this blog extensively analyzes, masochism is a symptom of trauma and the masochist experiences masochistic activities surely egodystonically, surely while being ego-detached and surely with major amount of distress, but the alleviating of the conflict that masochistic activities offer, is overstressed and many people would draw the false conclusion that masochism makes masochist happy. In fact, it is a necessary evil for him in order to achieve relief from his inner conflict and the only way to get full erection. Please, notice the 'full' because psychiatric manuals mention that if erection can be achieved without masochistic activities, then there is no problem with the masochist. They don't mention that even though masochists can achieve erection without masochistic activities, maybe their masochistic fantasies help them do so, or maybe their erection is not pleasurable or hard enough. So we must not underestimate that the healthy sexuality and attitude is to have hard erection with the absence of masochistic activities or fantasies and less or no erection with the presence of these.
