A community portal about Marquis de Sade with blogs, videos, and photos. Donatien Alphonse François, marquis de Sade was a French aristocrat and writer of philosophy -laden and often violent pornography. His is a philosophy of extreme freedom, unrestrained by morality, religion or law, with the pursuit of personal pleasure being the highest principle. Though never convicted of any crime, Sade was incarcerated in various prisons and an insane asylum for 29 years of his life; much of his writing was done during this time. The term " sadism " is derived from his name.
