Interesting insight this. Wide range of motivations and opposites can create the greatest feelings of arousal. It even explains how some decidedly racist people and couples or husbands get involved in this lifestyle. Fear very often creates the greatest emotions and equally the fear can be best confronted by having it happen under a sense (or delusion) of control. So is it any wonder a racist husband will not only contemplate this but also orchestrate it. This may or may not change attitudes to black people which to a non ra it’s person might strike them as inexplicable but yet remains a fact of life. Emotions are often totally contradictory and impossible to fully rationalise so going with the flow is often the substitute that gives its own pleasure like a drug you can’t give up even if you wish it.
