What do you think of the marquis de sade?

what do you think of the marquis de sade?

is 120 days worth reading if I'm not really into extreme sexual acts, but not really disgusted by it either?

i dont know i havent read it thats why i made this thread. im more interested in justine

I wanna read Juliette only for the Minski scene. Also are he's books as bad as people make them out to be or are they tame by today's standards?

Today is tame by his day's standards.
In different ways though, but certain stuff like pedophilia and rape are arguably more shocking to us than they were to his contemporaries.

>Today is tame by his day's standards.
This.

Sade is worth reading but after one or two books the novelty wears off.

I'd recommend Philosophy in the Bedroom for ideas and The New Justine for fun and then read Juliette if you want more.

120 days is trash.

he's like an edgy deviantart writer with more flowery language

justine is a good start, i couldnt finish 120 days of sodom, im currently reading juliette

i want to read the one about the pure girl who has a shit life.

No.

If you read it, and don't start fapping furiously by about page 5, then you're doing it wrong.

120 Days of Sodom is the greatest Aristocrats joke of all time.

it's his worst book and it's not even finished.

i suspect people only choose to read that one for the edgy name.

I don't really see much reason to read his work other than if you want to fap to it. As a sadist I've fapped to him multiple times, but I don't really see much in terms of literary/philosophical merit.

mediocre writer and political philosopher
no wonder he had such an influence on the french left

His work would have potential if homosex was eliminated.

i've read all his published books, i loved them all except for one which i dont remember the title off.
but yeah, 120 days, justine, juliette , philosophy and the crimes of love are all excelent books, guy was a genius.

his stuff is not tame at all, it is extreme. it mixes porn with philosophy, if that's not your thing, then dont read it.

>i suspect people only choose to read that one for the edgy name.
the film is also pretty notorious which probably increased the popularity. wasn't he losing his mind while writing it anyway?

what do you mean by pedophilia? making 14 year old sluts suck yo dick?

I thought the film was shit desu.

More like six year old snuff.

The part in Juliette where they fuck the little girl until she shits and bleeds herself to death was pretty brutal tbqh

>1205 pages

god damn, man.

That's the type of fap fodder you write for yourself when you're in prison I guess.

I think that I will post the single nastiest passage in the entirety of 120 days (very close to the end), for everyone's edification. I have done it before on Veeky Forums, and I will do it again:

Escorted by Desgranges and Duclos, the Duc and Curval make a journey to the cellars with Augustine in the course of that night; her ass has been preserved in excellent condition, 'tis now lashed to tatters, then the two brothers alternately embugger her, but guard their seed, and then the Duc gives her fifty-eight wounds in the buttocks, pours boiling oil into each gash. He drives a hot iron into her cunt, another into her ass, and fucks her wounded charms, his prick sheathed in a sealskin condom which worsens the already lamentable state of her privities. That accomplished, the flesh is peeled away from the bones of her arms and legs, which bones are sawed in several different places, then her nerves are laid bare in four adjacent places, the nerve ends are tied to a short stick which, like a tourniquet, is twisted, thus drawing forth the aforesaid nerves, which are very delicate parts of the human anatomy and, which, when mistreated, cause the patient to suffer much. Augustine's agonies are unheard-of.

She is given some respite and allowed to recruit her strength, then Messieurs resume work, but this time, as the nerves are pulled into sight, they are scraped with the blade of a knife. The friends complete that operation and now move elsewhere; a hole is bored in her throat, her tongue is drawn back, down, and passed through it, 'tis a comical effect, they broil her remaining breast, then, clutching a scalpel, the Duc thrusts his hand into her cunt and cuts through the partition dividing the anus from the vagina; he throws aside the scalpel, reintroduces his hand, and rummaging about in her entrails, forces her to shit through her cunt, another amusing stunt; then, availing himself of the same entrance, he reaches up and tears open her stomach. Next, they concentrate upon her visage: cut away her ears, burn her nasal passages, blind her eyes with molten sealing wax, girdle her cranium, hang her by the hair, attach heavy stones to her feet, and allow her to drop: the top of the skull remains dangling.

She was still breathing when she fell, and the Duc encunted her in this sorry state; he discharged and came away only the more enraged. They split her belly, opened her, and applied fire to her entrails; scalpel in hand, the Président burrows in her chest and harasses her heart, puncturing it in several places. 'Twas only then her soul fled her body; at the age of fifteen years and eight months thus perished one of the most heavenly creatures ever formed by Nature's skillful hand. Etc. Her eulogy.

>tfw sadist
>tfw couldn't keep a boner for more than 30 seconds with the girl of my dreams, but this gets me hard as diamonds
I fucking hate myself so much, man. Also realistically speaking Augustine would be dead of shock halfway through the first paragraph.

I've seen worse on .onion sites.

>encunted

nice

so does this mean Peter Sotos is going to be regarded as a mildly important literary figure in 200 years?

He also used the sentence "My prick is beshitted" to describe dirty anal.

no because peter sotos is tame as fuck compared to de sade

Wow that actually made me a little nauseous

...

>Jaques
>Get the guillotine

God I hope so

MUAAHHH THE FRENSCH

YOOOOOOOOOO
