hm, i wonder if masochism is the most useful frame for this? it seems to fit better into the kind of courtly-love chivalric tradition he would have been familiar with

many disagree about this but personally i dont like the frame i often see assumed that the current understanding of masochism is like a "real" "thing" "underlying" "courtly love" so much as like another map of the same territory but encoding modern assumptions about sexuality
