Lori was beside us, lying on her belly and kissing, Sheila's mouth and whispering words against her swollen lips.
Lori was taunting Mom about fucking her son, her baby. But that just made Sheila wild, and she soon exploded and so did I. After that first time, Lori just kept us at it, so we spent the whole day screwing like animals.
And that was how our sexual lives with Lori began.
As shocking as the immediate case might appear to the average lay reader, particularly when compared to the preceding cases of Paul I. and Frieda L., such are the cases that the bulk of psychiatrists' notebooks is made of Krafft-Ebing, one of the pioneers of psychoanalysis, devoted a major portion of his work Psychopathia Sexualis to the study of masochism and masochistic cases. One such case, designated as "Case 60" in his work, closely resembles that of the subject Peter D., and is reproduced in part below.
… X., gentleman belonging to upper class of society; aged sixty-six; father hypersexual; two brothers said to be masochists. X. claimed that his masochism dates back to early childhood. At the age of five he asked little girls to undress him and spank his naked bottom. Later on he arranged with other boys or girls in playing teacher with him to flog him. At the age of fifteen he began to imagine that girls ambushed and then beat him. At that time he had no idea as yet of the sexual meaning of such proceedings, in fact he was still unaware of the vita sexualis. His craving for being beaten by women steadily increased. At the age of eighteen he learned how to satisfy it and had the first pollution during the act. When nineteen, first coitus with complete satisfaction and potency and without masochistic representations. Normal sexual intercourse until he was twenty-one, when a girl suggested a masochistic scene. He accepted, and from that time never had coitus without a masochistic adventure preceding it…
Although Krafft-Ebing's case suggests that masochism can become active at a very early age and then go through a series of submergences and surfacings, the environmental and circumstantial factors in the case of Peter D. were such that any submergence of his strongly developed masochistic tendencies was practically impossible.
The subject was entrapped in an environment of sadomasochism, incest, lesbianism, and general psychodegeneracy that became to him a way of life from which there was no escape. Only a person with strong ethical convictions or near asexuality would have been able to turn away from the hedonistic atmosphere that permeated the subject's surroundings. Peter D. had no family ethics to base his own personal ethics on, and he was undeniably hypersexual.
In the opinion of the psychotherapist who was finally presented with the Herculean task of handling this case, hypersexuality is an essential element for the development of sexual masochism. This is not to suggest that hypersexuality presupposes a masochistic inclination. It can be directed toward psychologically acceptable ends; however, it is a factor that is often responsible for what might be termed "unusual experimentation" in sexual activities arid that makes the person "afflicted" with hypersexuality more vulnerable to suggestion and more likely to disregard or even to accept as "normal" any obstacles that may appear or be placed between his hypersexuality and the relief of physiological, psychological, and emotional tensions that are essential components of hypersexuality.
The subject's initial submission to his sister's nonsexual demands in his early adolescence was the mold from which he shortly emerged as a sexual masochist. The fact that his mother, Sheila D., not only did not discourage her daughter's sadistic "bullying" of her son, but also that she was herself a masochist, victim of that same daughter, did not help matters any. It played directly into Lori's hand, and created in the mind of the subject the feeling that "this was, indeed, the normal way of life." Later, when Peter D. manifested signs of sexual arousal and felt a desire for his sister, and when his sister catered to that desire by masturbating and fellating the boy, the subject was fully enmeshed in the web his sister had woven around him. He did not have to seek out sexual partners outside the home; as long as he obeyed his sister his sexuality was catered to. And when he discovered that. Sheila, his mother, not only approved of his sexual relationship with his sister, but also became an active participant, playing a comasochistic role with him, the irreversible imbroglio was complete.
Perhaps of even greater interest than the subject in this case is his sister Lori. And the tantamount question is: What made her the absolute little sadist that she is? Before answering that question, a citation from Havelock Ellis's Studies in the Psychology of Sex might be in order. In the seventh volume of the abovementioned work, titled Eonism and Other Supplementary Studies, Ellis states:
Masochism is… a reversal of sadism, the sadism being directed towards the subject himself. It is, Stekel thinks, hate towards others turned into hate towards oneself. This, however, while it is a partially true statement for [some cases] seems to fall into the common error of regarding algolagnia as a manifestation of cruelty. The impulse to inflict pain, whether on others or on oneself, whenever it arises from a sexual motive, must never be regarded as a manifestation of hate and cruelty. Whenever it so arises we can safely eliminate any genuinely sexual impulse. The real motive is to show love, not hate, and even if possible to give pleasure. And the reason so unlikely a method of manifesting this motive is adopted is simply that the stimulus of pain, when the sexual impulse is weak (as it often is…) – whether inflicted or suffered or even merely witnessed – does actually operate as a stimulus to the sexual emotions, and no cruelty is really involved, merely the appearance of it. The evidence on this point is overwhelming…
Although at first glance it is difficult to accept the supposition that Lori's attitude toward her another was prompted by love, taking the events in sequence makes the supposition much less incredible.
If one accepts the assumption that Lori's original overberance toward her brother was a mild superiority complex brought out by the fact that, with the mother being at work most of the day, Lori was responsible for the boy's upbringing and discipline, then the progression toward sadomasochism was a "natural" development. Lori, loving her brother, noticed that he became sexually aroused the first time she decided to spank him. If she were aware of sexual pleasures – and the supposition must be made that she was – then her desire to continue giving her brother sexual pleasure by demeaning him was the direct result of deduction by her immature mind.
The similar relationship between her and Sheila, however, for lack of sufficient preliminary information, cannot be commented on.
I am not sure that I knew just what made Lori tick, but she seemed to take great pleasure in dominating Sheila and me. The weird things she made us do seemed to provide her with great pleasure.
Naturally, things weren't all that well integrated right away. Lori had to feel her way with us. She was always telling Mom and me that we were hopeless masochists, that we needed to be disciplined and abused, and she would do her best to make our life a happy one. She actually made it sound like she was doing us a favor.
That first day when she made me and Mom fuck like machines was a time of great fun for her. Every time Sheila and I would take a rest, Lori would suck Sheila's cunt and feast on the juices that were in it. She loved doing that, and Sheila liked it, too. After a while, when I got tired and was sure that I wasn't going to be able to do any more, Lori got out a dildoe made from a sawed-off piece of broom handle. She put some grease on it, and proceeded to ream my asshole while Sheila was sucking on my cock.
