The sexuality in sadomasochistic relating is most often viewed as defensive, functioning to erotize the repetition of earlier trauma, as a defense against painful affect, or as masking early, nonerotic needs for recognition and autonomy. However, this emphasis on the nonerotic dimension of so-called sexualized experience leads to symbolic interpretations of sexuality; this "deliteralization of sexuality" requires some embodiment in the concrete and literal, or metaphor is delinked from that which it is derived. Without discounting the validity of such formulations, this paper aims to put the drive (libido) back into formulations of sadomasochistic relations, and discusses the erotic dimension in sadomasochistic relations as an irreducible, hidden structure that both threatens and sustains the destructive attachment. It is suggested that sexuality is a driving force behind sadomasochistic interplay, while aggression may be recruited for defensive, concealing purposes. Through a case illustration, this paper demonstrates how sadomasochistic relating is symbolically penetrating, teasing, withholding, and intensifying in hate-inducing ways, all of which are designed to gratify and simultaneously harden the other. In many cases, sadomasochistic sexuality may be viewed as aggressivized, paradoxically, to maintain safety under the regressive pull of sexual and preoedipal longings.
在施虐受虐关系中的性取向通常被视为具有防御性，其作用是将早期创伤的重复转化为性欲化，作为对痛苦情感的防御，或者是为了掩盖早期对认可和自主的非性需求。然而，这种对所谓性化体验的非性维度的强调导致了对性取向的象征性解读；这种“性取向的去字面化”需要在具体和字面层面有所体现，否则隐喻就会与它所衍生的事物脱节。在不否认这些表述有效性的情况下，本文旨在将驱力（力比多）重新纳入施虐受虐关系的表述中，并将施虐受虐关系中的性维度作为一种不可简化的、隐藏的结构进行讨论，这种结构既威胁又维持着破坏性的依恋关系。有人认为，性取向是施虐受虐互动背后的驱动力，而攻击性可能被用于防御和隐藏目的。通过一个案例说明，本文展示了施虐受虐关系是如何以引发仇恨的方式进行象征性渗透、挑逗、 withholding（此处原文可能有误，推测为withholding，意为抑制、 withholding）和强化的，所有这些都是为了满足并同时使对方变得冷酷无情。在许多情况下，施虐受虐性取向可能被视为矛盾地被激化，以便在性和前俄狄浦斯期欲望的退行性拉力下维持安全。
