by Dr. Susan Block Wankers, spankers, filmmakers and pornstars gather together in the Womb Room Cathedral of the Church of Bonoboville to wind up Self-Love September, break the Yom Kippur fast (well, I was breaking the fast) and kick off Kink Month with stimulating talk about masturbation education, a sensuous topless Bonoboville Communion and an orgasmic, remote-controlled ride on the Motorbunny.

by Dr. Susan Block. Wow. What a birthday. What a bacchanal of beauty, bonobo love, music, laughter, spanking and rejuvenating sex with a capital X. Amen and Awomen. Praise be to the power and glory of sex. It keeps you young. And you keep me young, brothers and sisters, lovers and sinners of Inner and Greater Bonoboville. At least, you keep me from ever growing up. The proof is in this party, un feliz cumpleaños, un buon cumpleanno, yom hooledet sameyach, un joyeux anniversaire, an ecstatic orgiastic celebration of life, a Festival of Eros, with a nod of respect to Thanatos, and a very happy birthday to remember through any remaining birthdays I have left on this Earth. Thank you, Bonoboville—my awesome staff (see bottom of this blog), guests, readers, listeners, viewers and patrons—for everything you do that makes this crazy, kinky, wonderful life possible.

By Dr. Susan Block Hosting a live pro-sex variety show less than 24 hours after a horrific multiple mass murder in the City of Love is a little bizarre. But it’s a “healing” kind of bizarre, like pushing yourself to have sex when you’re under-the-weather, physically or emotionally. After you get into it, very often you feel better. And sometimes it even helps you to get better. This sexual healing part of what I call the Bonobo Way of peace through pleasure.

Capt’n Max, a.k.a., Pr. Maximillian R. Leblovic di Lobkowicz di Filangieri, was born at the Vatican Hospital in Rome, on November 8th 1943. At the tender age of seven, he and a horde of other deposed royal families of Europe set sail on a big beautiful ship, eventually arriving in the Great Promised Land of Montclair, New Jersey. There he grew up to be a truly revolutionary publisher of such titles as The LA Star, Love Magazine, Hate, God, Finger, Meetings with Remarkable People, The Brentwood Bla Bla, Beverly Hills, the Magazine and many more, pioneering the first “reader-written” media which exploded in the Internet Age, becoming the behemoth we now call “social media.”

by Dr. Susan Block Labor Day becomes “Labia Day” on DrSuzy.Tv, broadcasting live from Bonoboville on the first Saturday night of September. Our first Labia Day, a.k.a., #LabiaDay, celebration features the delightful labia-lapping Dayton Rains showing off her own world-famous labia in multiple positions and configurations, expertly licking my lucky labia and, in that great U.S. presidential intern tradition, smoking a cigar through her labia, as well as instigating a small but sassy Labia Day Movement right here in the Womb Room studio—power to the pornstars! Back to Labor Day (for just a moment), which I’ve always found to be a bittersweet occasion. Like any public holiday, it’s as good an excuse as any to break out the booze and BBQs, but tragically, it also marks the end of summer vacation, with “labor,” a.k.a., school, work and winter, looming ominously ahead. Moreover, the whole “labor” theme never seems to be a genuine celebration of the people, the real workers, or the 99%. It’s more of a paltry pacifier from the 1%–the owners, Mafioso union bosses, greedy oligarchs and CEOs—one measly Monday where we theoretically don’t have to labor for The Man, but are expected to consume high-calorie processed foods from company stores like Walmart and Target, watch military-style parades and endure boring, hypocritical speeches.

by Dr. Susan Block “Poly on Wry” is a tasty triple-decker sandwich of polyamorous possibilities, blended households, zesty triads, alphabetized polycules (poly/molecules), designer relationships (with a hat tip to Ken Haslam), open marriages, bonoboësque friends-with-benefits, bachelors-with-girlfriends, girlfriends-with-dating-contests, Dominant/submissive partnerships, kinky alliances, spicy swing parties and other non-conventional sexual arrangements.

In a way, Bonoboville, like life itself, is always a “carnal carnival,” but for this bonobo-and-bozo-friendly episode of The Dr. Susan Block Show, that’s the theme. Goth comedian Dark Mark is leaving LA’s sunshine for New Orleans’ mausoleums, and his virgin appearance on DrSuzy.Tv also serves as a freaky farewell to his LA friends and lovers. Amongst the entourage are several sexy ladies, one of whom could be the demented love child of Marilyn Monroe and Patch Adams, aptly named Clownalyn Monroe. Another is voluptuous burlesque Domme and “Pussy Bang-Bang” producer, Josi Kat, also co-host of Dark Mark’s ghoulish comedy talk show.

by Dr. Susan Block Freedom is the greatest aphrodisiac, but restraint is a close second. It’s one of the many ironies of sex that some of the freest people get off on giving up their freedom—consensually, of course. They may be turned on by being “forced” to experience things that they really want but don’t feel free to receive unless they’re restrained. They may be aroused by struggling against the restraints or surrendering as they enter “sub space.” This is one of the bedrock principles of BDSM. Another principle is theater. BDSM (Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, Sado-Masochism) is dramatic, and I don’t mean Fifty Shades of Holy Crap drama; I mean the living theater of intimate power exchange, the potent poetry of mixing pleasure with pain as you play—with an audience. This show’s guests of honor are masters of BDSM play. So it’s natural that they’re now creating “plays,” i.e., theatrical entertainments spotlighting the drama of BDSM, engaging in themes of passion (the latin passio means “to suffer”), intimacy, discovery, healing, consensuality and control.

It’s my darling prime mate Capt’n Max’s biggest birthday bash yet, a rousing re-opening of the “Speakeasy” at Bonoboville in West LA, a slightly bumpy-but-über-fun first live broadcast from the new studios and an exuberant, orgasmic and fiery launch for The Bonobo Way – FREE on Kindle November 12-15! And no, you needn’t have a Kindle to take advantage; you can download a free Kindle app so you can read it on any smartphone, iThing, tablet or computer. Note: if you’re one of the fine folks who bought, received or wrangled a signed first edition print copy, you should still get the Free Kindle anyway because that’s where you’ll see the amazing full-color photos of both bonobo and human apes in action

As Masturbation Month moves merrily along, we continue celebrating and exploring the power and glory of self-pleasure and other erotic hedonic joys. This show takes you on a multi-orgasmic roller coaster ride of Masturbation Liberation, Education, Domination, Deprivation, Humiliation, Stimulation, Vibration and Revelation. With all these relevant rhymes and more (titillation, sensation…), somebody could write a hit self-love song…

As medical marijuana use becomes more decriminalized and “normalized” in America, it’s no wonder that cannabis culture has developed its own holiday, one on which almost everybody takes a toke, even many who usually abstain. This leads to many getting lucky in one form or another, pot being one of the few genuine aphrodisiacs. Though marijuana is NOT a gateway to harder drugs for most of us, it certainly is a gateway to sex. Usually very sensuous sex. The only stronger aphrodisiac would be alcohol, which sometimes enhances aggression as well as libido, and that can be a “bummer,” to say the least. As long as you’re not the type that pot makes paranoid, THC in the right dosage tends to make you pleasantly horny, helps you to really groove in the moment, the worst that can happen being that you space out or nod off while your partner’s still grooving.

Though I originally called this show “WiLD LiFE LA,” it’s too chilly in our urban jungle enclave to take much more off than our high heels, turning the proceedings into more of a foot fetish fiesta, along with birthday spankings, fun with cake, bondage and tickle play, discussions of sex and religion, bonobo tales and sexy tails.

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.

It’s my birthday! Many years ago (I won’t say how many—I don’t want to shock you), I emerged…I wish I could say it was from my Mom’s vagina, but I was a Cesarean. Maybe that’s why I’m bisexual: trying to crawl into a vagina so I can emerge from it, born again…

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.
