“The most important thing you have to determine is what you feel passionate about” She said with an arrogant smile as if what she was doing at that very moment, giving me advice was her passion

Love of what? The person, the situation, the sex, the degredation, the rush of being so close to death, the fear?

[odin1970]

The hate, the anger, the power, the infliction of humiliation, the affirmation of masculinity, the need to be loved?

I guess it would depend on your point of view.

It also depends on who you're talking about. What drove him to continue these situations? What drove her to continue allowing them to happen?

[odin1970]

There reasons for continuing are largerly the same. AS a wise man once said "we always did feel the same we just saw it from a different point of view"

When people find themselves in a mutually beneficial situation, even one filled with brutality, its hard to not allow it to continue. Essentially a ying and a yang are only a ying or a yang if the other is present to be measured against.
