Pleasure is spontaneous and exists in the realm of the individual.
To study pleasure may lead to that pleasure's destruction. Pleasure is not innocent, it concerns consent, negotiation and hegemony. Pleasure links the individual to the social via the science of representation - which assumes a certain consciousness. For example, 'Irish jokes' assume that the Irish are thick. Jokes such as this relate to concepts of inferiority, they are reproduced to confirm control over Women, Blacks, the Irish, etc.
