The elements of sexual masochism in Joyce are typically either ignored or disdained: they make us feel uncomfortable. Although sexuality is recognized to be at the center of Joyce's work, criticism has addressed this topic from a safe distance, and often with overtones of voyeurism or condescension. When criticism has addressed the topic of sexuality in Joyce, it has tended to focus on the ideological significance of his sexual attitudes, rather than on the nature of the sexuality that he has presented. Although recent criticism has inched closer to this topic, there is nonetheless an abiding reluctance to concede that sexual masochism runs like a core through the center of Joyce, and is the impetus of his writing.
The unwillingness to address this sexual perversity is strange, given that Ulysses is the story of a mild man who for ten years has chosen to masturbate rather than have penetrative sex with his wife, whom he finds very sexy. On the day of Ulysses, Bloom knows that an aggressive man will have sex with Molly, because he has covertly encouraged this event. He is conscious of the time at which Blazes Boylan will arrive at their door, and he considers the moment of their sexual union. Although this causes him much pain, throughout the day he is aroused by masochistic fantasies, which scrutinize this event.
At the climax of the book, in Circe, we are given an only slightly disguised representation of Bloom's masturbatory masochistic fantasy, which the narration dissolves into the pain, sympathy and guilt that Stephen feels before the image of his dead mother. It is in Circe that Bloom's masochism is most apparent. Here, in the dream-text, Bello transforms Bloom into a transvestite maid:
