He was a philosopher of lust. I've read some of his books. Donatien Alphonse François, Comte de Sade.

@helenS Indeed. He was far ahead of his time when it came to lust, sex and fetishism. He was punished for it as well.

@Serpico He spent a significant part of his life at the Bastille, where he wrote "Les Cent Vingt Journées de Sodome".

@helenS It is funny what he wrote about by todays standards are certainly viewed as "kink" but not over the top. Back then the populace was titillated and appalled. He was an artist with a forward thinking essence in passion.

@Serpico You may underestimate his radicalism. Please read a summary of his "120 Days of Sodome" somewhere. It's not something I would want to tell here. Or anywhere.
