OK. It took me a while, but now I see what's wrong with this picture. What 
seems to have completely dropped out of the equation is love/desire. I 
mean, leaving aside the guns, the adrenaline, the whips, etc., there is the 
original fact of love or lust which you are making out to be the 
epiphenomena. Curious. It's like we don't have real feelings anymore; they 
are just the result of unrelated/artificial stimuli.
