Summary
Summary
A must-listen for every classic erotica fan! Performed as a duet by Zachary Johnson and Verla Bond.
The term “Masochist” comes from Austrian author Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch, whose fantasies inspired him to write Venus in Furs in 1870. The story is an account of a man named Severin, who is obsessed with being enslaved by a despotic woman in furs. He finds his ideal in a young widow named Wanda: a reluctant domme who discovers her sadistic tendencies through their twisted love affair.
Venus in Furs was translated into English by Fernanda Savage in 1921.
