Masochism ..is the fascinated observation of oneself as an object. The masochist is ..treating the other as an object.
The masochist's goal is not to fascinate the concrete Other by means of his objectivity Β the procedure of seduction - but to cause himself to be fascinated by his own objectivity-for-others. The experience of Otherness, the desire of the concrete other, is radically excluded. - KIRSTEN HYLDGAARD
