Bataille: "The whole business of eroticism is to destroy the self-contained character of the participator as they are in their normal lives. [It] offers a contrast to self-possession, to discontinuous existence, in other words."
"Obscenity is our name for the uneasiness which upsets the physical state associated with [...] the possession of a recognized and stable individuality."
