  And the Marquis lives… along with Leopold Welcome to the escapism world of autoerotic asphyxiation or hypoxyphilia, made popular by the daemonic writer himself, the Marquis de Sade.
In years to come his lustful poetry would be infamously known to the world as Sadism or to those of you so called goodie-two-shoes who didn’t know, it’s those porno acts of domination that play in your mind while trying ever so desperately to erase.
