Or on the less literary hypotheses of reality - maybe dath ilan has no masochists because nobody ever tried following up severe nonsimulated violence with sex?  He wants to think it can't be that simple because somebody in Civilization really would have figured it out and then figured out a less costly way to get the same result.  But if it's some weird brain thing you can't guess from parts of the model pinned down by other observations, maybe they really wouldn't have figured it out.
