Why do wealthy politicians go to Madams for? Can't they be happy with their wives/girlfriends? No.
Because leaders have distorted personalties. Why do powerful or wealthy people in leadership positions go compulsively to play "games"of sadism and masochism? Because the people most thirsty for power and social prestige are the most MASOCHISTIC . Bush went for a "Top",when he had his homosexual relationship with Jeff Gannon.
Why do "powerful" people with an 'image' and reputation of being 'upstanding'and a career to protect go to of all things a prostitute? Because of the "naughty" factor they know it will offend thier base and cause confusion about their "moral character" They want to be punished.So they are"pushing limits" and getting off on the risk of being revealed going to a prostitute and the masochistic impulse to be humiliated in a warped personality playing leader that kind of reenactment of traumas is irresistible to them.
A leader" being beaten or humiliated by a "lowly" person in society a "disgraced woman" like a prostitute is part of the shaming they want.In the"leader's" own mind he can be "purified" with this ritual of humiliation and S/M games and the risk of career ruining exposure of scandalous activities' and the resulting revulsion by the people he dominates(or thinks he does) is a big thrill to the"leader".
This game is a turn on for truly impotent males playing the alpha male in the social role. For this warped masochistic compulsion to be fed, sex need not be involved with the prostitute it all just power and powerlessness and a distorted personality . Because it is a deviant outlet for sex that is seen as shameful..S/M distorts sex which is off limits and makes it into a fetish.
Over time to a masochist leader,it becomes about reinforcing and justifying a desperate illusion of abosulte power and regulating an addiction to powerlessness.This drama is in the MIND of the leader. It's games about limits and right and wrong acted out regulating painful often suppressed emotions with whips chains and bondage and memories of soul crushing powerlessness by submitting and power he wants to identify with,and this re-traumatizing,purging to excuse himself for doing bad things while in his'power role'as a senator or father priest or president .A sounbd beating from a madam dominatrix relieves his own shame for doing bad things in public office is "paid" for with a ritual S/M "scene" session with a dominatrix or sadist...It is a deep sickness a fetish for abuse could be partly caused by abuse from childhood trauma.
And when we citizens follow a masochistic leader or accept leadership and submit to said leader's will even when he makes laws and policies that HURT us and some of us still insist he is a good person and go so far as to give him a 'mandate' and we enable him to decide for us, we are permitting him to act out his sickness through public office and doing private scandals. In effect WE are co-playing a role in an S/M game,keeping a very destructive re-traumatizing emotional/social sickness in ourselves in our society and it the'leaderships'acted out on a huge scale continuing.And playing these"roles" in this "dream" of our "leaders" is KILLING us.
Here are some links that might get you thinking and to see the real reasons why our leaders are so self serving two faced,perverted ,hypocritical,bigoted, sexually messed up,and inept.....
Wealth & Worship. "The interconnection,between sadism, masochism, success-worship, power-worship, nationalism and totalitarianism is a huge subject whose edges have barely been scratched."
George Orwell..
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,792928,00.html?promoid=googlep"..freedom has a twofold meaning for modern man: that he has been freed from traditional authorities and has become an 'individual,' but that at the same time he has become isolated, powerless and an instrument of purposes outside of himself, alienated from himself and others; furthermore, that this state undermines his self, weakens and frightens him, and makes him ready for submission to new kinds of bondage. Positive freedom on the other hand is identical with the full realization of the individual's potentialities, together with his ability to live actively and spontaneously."
Eric Fromm
Escape from Freedom
In the theater of masochism, scenarios are staged by male authority figures (not un-typically by judges, lawyers, male bosses and teachers) so that they can be 'punished' by an underling-by a dominatrix, who treats them as a slave. Having weak egos, they call on the dominatrix as the superego representative over whom they paradoxically control. There is a written contact with the dominatrix. As 'bottoms' they remain in charge, and say when they have received 'enough' punishment. Such a hierarchical reversal of social roles gets them 'off.'
http://www.utpjournals.com/simile/issue21/jagodzinski4.htmlIt is seductive to be dominant, to have the rest of the world available as cheap labor and raw material for the inducement of pleasure. And it is comforting to think that the victims enjoy their victimization, to perhaps couch the exploitation in sexual symbolism as a sort of seduction in which blood is yielded up willingly to the murdering fangs. But this is just another lie,
http://trumpeter.athabascau.ca/index.php/trumpet/article/view/225/319Escape from Freedom
Times of emergency (which is most times) demands careful thought, natural expression and freedom to think and act. Yet, at these moments,Post Vietnam freedom becomes limited. A tendency to autocratic control of expression, followed by an almost sadistic need to inflict damage upon others and a masochistic urge to allow damage to be inflicted on the self, often occur. Destructiveness of home life and foreign populations by military adventures are easily accepted by a public that automatically conforms..

To recapitulate, from a psychoanalytic perspective, the cult leader unconsciously experiences his dependency needs as so deeply shameful that a delusion of omnipotence is developed to ward off the toxic shame. It is urgent to the pathological narcissist, who knows unconsciously that he is susceptible to extreme mortification (the sense of "death" by shame), that this delusion of omnipotence be sustained. Manic defenses help sustain the delusion, but in addition, followers must be seduced and controlled so that the loathsome dependence can be externalized, located in others and thereby made controllable. The leader can then express his unconscious self-loathing through his "compassion" (often thinly disguised contempt) for his followers’ weakness. Manically proclaiming his own perfection, the leader creates a program of "purification" for the follower. By enlisting the follower to hold the shame that he projects and evacuates from his own psyche, the cult leader rids himself of all shame, becoming, in effect, "shameless."
http://www.danielshawlcsw.com/traumatic_abuse.htmAnd rich sociopaths like Bush who believe they can do no wrong, to maintain that delusion of certainty use the "services" of a madam as a tool to act out a self "purification ritual' through S/M"games" or S/M role playing. We shouldn't be shocked.. alot of rich powerful people are very narcissistic and sociopathic and have very warped personalities.And they lead"secret lives" because the face they present to the public is totally FAKE.
They often are products of childhood S/M rituals their parents acted out on them.

They make up what Eisner refers to when she writes of the body-as-state in Fritz Lang’s 1926 Metropolis as an ‘architecturalized’ crowd (1): agglomerated bodies used as building blocks of pyramidal empire.
Like art and politics combined, the physical body has a theatre and theory that is essential in the re transformation of of reality. The body is, according to Michel Foucault, endowed with political power: it has a “political economy – its forces, their utility, their docility, their distribution and their submission.” (2) The greatest irony of the part that the human body plays in the building of totalitarianism is the crucial importance the insignificant and anonymous crowd has in the total control by the elite. Even in its most submissive state, the human body has a resource of power that is necessary to be extracted; without the possession, exploitation and complete colonization of millions of individual anonymous bodies, the elite have no power base to build upon. This is the secret of the powerful/powerless relationship: masochism is needed to realize sadism as sadism validates the masochistic experience; one is not real without the other. In a totalitarian society, the body must be reduced to essential matter and melded into the very marrow of the New State, which is imbued with the personality of the Leader.

Today, when "emancipation is complete
Freud and Machiavelli have reached the outer suburbs," the pulp thriller is "a daydream appropriate to a totalitarian age . . . a distilled version of the modern political scene, in which such things as mass bombings of civilians . . . torture to obtain confessions . . . execution without trial . . . drownings in cesspools, systematic falsification of records and statistics . . . bribery quisling ism are normal and morally neutral, even admirable when they are done in a large and bold way." Power, and its high priest, the bully, are becoming democratic idols.
"When sexuality is prevented form attaining natural gratification, owing to the process of sexual repression, what happens is that it seeks various kinds of substitute gratification. Thus, for instance, natural aggression is distorted into brutal sadism, which constitutes an essential part of the mass-psychological basis of those imperialist wars that are instigated by a few. To give another instance: from the point of view of mass psychology, the effect of militarism is based essentially on a libidinous mechanism. The sexual effect of a uniform, the erotically provocative effect of rhythmically executed goose-stepping (a German practice in particular-McKinney), the exhibitionist nature of militarist procedures, have been more practically comprehended by a salesgirl or average secretary than by our most erudite politicians." (Wilhelm Reich, The Mass Psychology of Fascism, Third Edition, p. 31 and 32)

A study of a masochist achierver Mel Gibson.
Mel Gibson, very much the infantile outcome of stunted personal development, engages in magical thinking. He feels omnipotent, that there is nothing he could’t do or achieve if only he sets his mind to it. He feels omniscient - he rarely admits to ignorance and regards his intuitions and intellect as founts of objective data.
Thus, masochists are haughtily convinced that introspection is a more important and more efficient (not to mention easier to accomplish) method of obtaining knowledge than the systematic study of outside sources of information in accordance with strict and tedious curricula. Masochists are “inspired” and they despise hamstrung technocrats
to some extent, they feel omnipresent because they are either famous or about to become famous or because their product is selling or is being manufactured globally. Deeply immersed in their delusions of grandeur, they firmly believe that their acts have - or will have - a great influence not only on their firm, but also on their country, or even on Mankind. Having mastered the manipulation of their human environment - they are convinced that they will always “get away with it”. They develop hubris and a false sense of immunity.
Masochistic immunity is the (erroneous) feeling, harbored by Mel Gibson, that he is impervious to the consequences of his actions, that he will never be effected by the results of his own decisions, opinions, beliefs, deeds and misdeeds, acts, inaction, or membership of certain groups, that he is above reproach and punishment, that, magically, he is protected and will miraculously be saved at the last moment. Hence the audacity, simplicity, and transparency of some of the fraud and corporate looting in the 1990’s. Masochists rarely bother to cover their traces, so great is their disdain and conviction that they are above mortal laws and wherewithal. What are the sources of this unrealistic appraisal of situations and events?
The false self is a childish response to abuse and trauma. Abuse is not limited to sexual molestation or beatings. Smothering, doting, pampering, over-indulgence, treating the child as an extension of the parent, not respecting the child’s boundaries, and burdening the child with excessive expectations are also forms of abuse.

_____________________________________________________________________
Indeed, my conclusion from a lifetime of study of the history of childhood is that society is founded upon the abuse of children, and that the further back in history one studies the subject the more likely children are to have been abused and neglected. Just as family therapists today find that child abuse often functions to hold families together as a way of solving their emotional problems, so, too, the routine assault, torture and domination of children has been society's most effective instrument of collective emotional homeostasis. Most historical families once practiced infanticide, incest, beating and mutilation of their children to relieve(parental) anxieties. We continue today to arrange the killing, maiming, molestation and starvation of our children through our military, social and economic institutions.
This is why domination and violence in history has such continuity: betrayal and abuse of children has been a consistent human trait since our species began. Each generation begins anew with fresh, eager, trusting faces of babies, ready to love and create a new world. And each generation of parents tortures, abuses, neglects and dominates its children until they become emotionally crippled adults who repeat in nearly exact detail the social violence and domination that existed in previous decades. Should a minority of parents decrease the amount of abuse and neglect of its children a bit and begin to provide somewhat more secure, loving early years that allow a bit more freedom and independence, history soon begins to move in surprising new directions and society changes in innovative ways. History needn't repeat itself; only the traumas demand repetition.133

On Bush's childhood...
She was the main authority-figure in the home. Jeb describes it as having been, "A kind of matriarchy... when we were growing up, dad wasn't at home. Mom was the one to hand out the goodies and the discipline." A childhood friend recalls that,"She was the one who instilled fear", while Bush put it like this: "Every mother has her own style. Mine was a little like an army drill sergeant's... my mother's always been a very outspoken person who vents very well - she'll just let rip if she's got something on her mind." According to his uncle, the "letting rip" often included slaps and hits. Countless studies show that boys with such mothers are at much higher risk of becoming wild, alcoholic or antisocial.

Abuse and psychopathy it all comes full circle...And if you peel back the mask of respectability and appropriate and "normal" in the person called a "leader" or "Community pillar" in the"circles" of Wealth and power, you see the disgusting truth, of who these ambuitious sociopaths are.Found out through the sloppy covering up of thier "liaisons", thier fetishes and piccadilloes and crimes,these many addictions driven by thier distorted personalities and covered up by leading dual lives and losts of cronies covering thier backs ,a media that looks the other way,and lots of skilled Public perception management teams to lie for them,and call bad deeds against the people these masochistic leaders do,good things..
