“The games of submission and domination, the rule-breaking scenarios, the fetishistic interest in particular words or parts of the body: all offer opportunities to investigate wishes that are far from being simply peculiar, pointless or slightly demented. They offer brief utopian interludes in which we can, with a rare and real friend, safely cast off our normal defences and share and satisfy our longings for extreme closeness and mutual acceptance – which is the real, psychologically rooted reason why games are, in the end, so exciting.”~ Alain de Botton
