I've always been interested in understanding why some people are attracted to things like pain, particular parts of the body (feet, hands, armpits and so on), being dominated etc.

However I only know three authors that could help me understand paraphilia: Frued, De Sade and Bataille.

I haven't read any of their books yet.

Are there other authors who talk about sex and paraphilia?

What are the best books about these topics? Where should I start?

I havent read it yet- partly because I like reading paper books and my library is too cucked to have it in hand- but there is Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov and I hear its really good;

Humbert Humbert - scholar, aesthete and romantic - has fallen completely and utterly in love with Lolita Haze, his landlady's gum-snapping, silky skinned twelve-year-old daughter. Reluctantly agreeing to marry Mrs Haze just to be close to Lolita, Humbert suffers greatly in the pursuit of romance; but when Lo herself starts looking for attention elsewhere, he will carry her off on a desperate cross-country misadventure, all in the name of Love. Hilarious, flamboyant, heart-breaking and full of ingenious word play, Lolita is an immaculate, unforgettable masterpiece of obsession, delusion and lust.

perhaps check it out, I am planning on just buying it because everyone is too scared to share or sell it around where I live

Interesting thread idea, OP

Lolita is an absolutely marvelous book which couldn't be more highly recommended as a novel, but I don't know that it explores the wherefore of unorthodox sexual attraction.

In my view the ultimate place to find your answer is in de Sade's Juliette or Vice Amply Rewarded. There's gazillions of translations but most are crappy hard/soft core porn and there's only one decent English translation readily available by Austryn Wainhouse Grove Press NY 1968.

Juliette is a tale of degradation - it starts of relatively mildly and then descends by degree to depths of depravity unsurpassed. It's a big volume, but perhaps one third is "eyes out on stalks" sex scenes interleaved with "philosophy", the why what's going on is happening. It's about the process of addiction and what it does to its host, and addictions require ever higher dose levels to achieve the needed satiation. No one having read this book will ever see the world the same again.

Freud - I haven't read much other than The Interpretation of Dreams when I was a highschool boy but my memory is that it was very dry and not really for the general reader. I consider his significance to be in the way his ideas influenced sociologists, like Bernays. And I've never read Bataille. Sorry.
