Happy Eros Day! Celebrate the planetoid, the myth, the philosophy and the feeling! Our 14th annual Eros Day celebration is blessed by the Father of Eros Day and a real-life, loving couple who attain Olympian divinity-through-sex, sparked by the Holy Spirit of Eros and the supportive erotic environment of the Womb Room. Hallelujah! Just in case you don’t know, on Eros Day, we honor Eros who is 1) a great and powerful god, according to classical mythology, 2) a little cock-shaped planetoid, according to modern astronomy, 3) the dynamic universal life force or the opposite of Thanatos (death), 4) the philosophy of ethical hedonism or The Bonobo Way of peace through pleasure and 5) the feeling of lust or love in your heart. Here in our Bonoboville, Max and I have been celebrating Eros Day every year since 2000 on or around January 22, when the planetoid 433-EROS comes closest to Earth. For a while, each Eros Day was getting bigger, wilder, more circus-like and orgiastic than the one before, climaxing in sheer orgy size with our Eros Day XII Orgy in the Womb Room in 2011. Though all of our Eros Days have been filled with “civilian” revelers, especially couples, they have also been blessed by an amazing array of porn stars, and nothing starts an orgy faster than a bunch of porn stars under the influence of Eros. That changed suddenly last year, when Adult Video News (AVN) switched their awards ceremony from the Saturday night after the first of the year to the Saturday night of Eros Day! Since every porn star with enough gas money makes the pilgrimage to Vegas for AVN, that leaves Los Angeles virtually porn-star free on Eros Day. Hopefully, AVN will switch dates again soon, and we’ll get our porn stars back for Eros Day—the date of which we can’t change because of the astrophysical proximity of the planetoid 433-Eros to Earth. That’s ok, we have many other porn star-packed orgiastic holidays throughout the year. In the meantime, Eros Day has changed focus to concentrate on a single hot couple who embody the divine erotic relationship of Eros and Venus (Aphrodite to the Greeks), eroticizing and inspiring us—body, mind and soul—to find and celebrate the Eros and Venus within us.

WEIMAR LOVE was performed before a live studio audience at Dr. Suzy’s Speakeasy on December 23, 2000, shortly after the U.S. Supreme Court declared George Bush, Junior to be President of the United States, and nine months before the infamous September 11 attacks. This shocking assault on large important icons of American power may bring to mind the mysterious Burning of the Reichstag in 1933, by a fire said to have been set by a Jewish Communist Terrorist, though later historians believe the Nazis themselves probably set it. The Burning of the Reichstag, a large important edifice of German power, provided a dramatic excuse for German Chancellor Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party to seize full control of the German government and suspend German civil liberties, quickly destroying the erotic culture of Weimar Berlin. German invasions of foreign lands, the devastations of World War II and the horror of the concentration camps followed. Though, of course, they are different stories in various ways, 9/11 seems to have created a similar opportunity for American fundamentalists to take our society into another Dark Age, where Perma-War, Big Lies, massive bombings, murder, torture, detentions and disappearances are becoming more and more commonplace, where government officials warn citizens to “watch what you say,” where the “chilling effect” of such policies may have an impact on the arts, the media, education, general culture and our erotic world for years to come. It is our hope here at BlockFilms that our documentary of a very special, very sexual night at Dr. Suzy’s Speakeasy, WEIMAR LOVE, not only stimulates our viewers to more fully enjoy pleasure, erotica, art, hot sex and history, but to resist the oppression of personal freedom, wherever it may arise.
