by Dr. Susan Block Fireworks Not Bombs! That’s our bonobo battle cry for the 4th of July. With America’s 239th birthday falling on a Saturday night, we take DrSuzy.Tv up to the Villa Bonobo roof, where I commemorate the occasion by lighting a sparkling birthday “candle” nestled between Biz Bonobo’s beautiful bodacious butt cheeks, as fireworks from the surrounding beaches, villages and wharves of West LA shimmer and explode all around us.

Forget Christian Grey in 50 Shades—he’s just a fantasy and a badly written one at that. My first featured guest lives a life that others only fantasize about, but John Gray is a very real “Mr. Gray,” as well as the founder, prime mover, shaker and CEO of the largest, most luxurious and highly-rated chain of “gentlemen’s clubs” in the world—now boasting 74 locations and counting—the elegant, upscale, naughty-naughty but very nice and ultra-successful Spearmint Rhino.

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.

by Dr. Susan Block How can you enjoy a good book? Let me count the ways… You can read it, study its poetry or prose, savor its style, explore its meaning, laugh at its jokes, learn from its lessons, put it in a library, discuss it with fellow readers, lend it out to friends, sell it, review it on Amazon, tweet about it, give it as a gift, drop it like a bomb (“shock & awe” with no casualties) or… you could use a book as a spanking paddle to whack a birthday girl’s bottom into a brand spanking new year of life on Earth which also happens to be a spanking new start to the Jewish new year, a.k.a. “Rosh Hashanah.” And Amen and Awomen to all that. Indeed, as we “Fall” into The Bonobo Way, we can see that one of the great literary discoveries of The Dr. Susan Block Show in the Year of the Bonobo (2015) is the remarkably sound spanking capabilities of a good solid print edition. This revelation has made “book-spankings” almost as popular here in Bonoboville as Sybian rides, flogging and Hitachi. On this show, a book-spanking brings together authors, porn stars and a birthday girl’s beautiful bottom in a way that gives peace-through-pleasure to all… as well as a lesson learned

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 The big fat silvery Supermoon of summer’s end beams over Bonoboville throughout this show in all “her” radiant glory, fearsome mystery and erotic power, bathing us in eroticizing celestial moonshine well into the after-party. This massive August moon is not *just* full as the belly of a woman about to give birth; it is also at “perigee,” the moment when la luna (español for the moon) is closest to Earth in its orbit. The full moon coinciding with perigee makes it appear even larger (thus the term “supermoon), which is a tremendous turn-on for us lunar size-queens. Perhaps that’s why this show glows with so much luminous excitement, wild sex, fun and bonoboësque wisdom. Or maybe it’s the sky-rocketing So Cali heat that makes the clothes come off and the passions pour forth with such force, velocity, generosity and unrestrained freedom of expression. Another integral part of the “moon magic” of this show springs from the talent and openness of my two featured guests, Leilani Lei and Dayton Rains, both virgins to The Dr. Susan Block Show, but already ardent adherents to the Bonobo Way.

By Dr. Susan Block It’s Relaxation Day on DrSuzy.Tv, and boy, do we need to relax. Especially when sex is on the menu. Bonobos are experts in the erotic art of relaxation, but for us civilized humans, it’s not so easy. If we’re nervous or tense—fearing any real or imagined danger—our bodies tend to *defend* us against attack, but also against pleasure, all too often resulting in lost erections, missed orgasms, pain, shame, blame, tearful recriminations, hostility and in some situations, even violence. So best to learn to release your inner bonobo and relaxxx! Breathe deep into your pelvis, do a little yoga or just stretch, put on the right music, take a puff of ganja or a sip of Agwa, shake that bootie and let that tension go. That’s my sex-therapeutic takeaway for Relaxation Day.

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.

Way back in the 20th century, when being called a “slut” was almost always a slur, the authors of a (then) brand new book that reclaimed this scornful insult as “a term of approval, even endearment,” came on my show. We had a blast chatting about the nature of sex and the future of love, then played in the after-party. The book was called The Ethical Slut: A Guide to Infinite Sexual Possibilities (1997), and it became the sex-positive, poly-friendly manifesto of consensual erotic adventure for a new generation of sexual pleasure seekers with a spiritual conscience—a desire to do good as well as feel good, sometimes even at the same time! Now on this live broadcast, one of the co-authors, Janet W. Hardy, is back on DrSuzy.Tv, talking about the new and improved edition of this polyamory Bible, which includes exercises, updates and a new subtitle: The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures (2009). Janet—who had gone by her pseudonym Catherine A. Liszt on the first edition of The Ethical Slut, written with Dossie Easton—is coming to UCLA this Saturday for Sex-Positive World’s special event, “Sexual Health Series Kick Off: Redefining Sexuality for the 21st Century.”

by Dr. Susan Block It’s Summer Solstice Eve, the night before the longest day of the year, when the golden sun shines longest upon the Northern Hemisphere, and my featured guest is one of the sunniest personalities in porn: Nina Hartley. From her golden halo of blonde hair to her signature, round, bouncy butt, not to mention her beaming smile, bright repartee and radiant sex-positivity, Nina shines like the summer sun, so it’s no wonder she lights up this show with fun and sexual wisdom. On a mission to promote the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance, which is on a mission to “affirm sexual freedom as a fundamental human right” Nina is accompanied by fellow Woodhull board member (and former Young Republican), Danny O’Neill. They’re excited about Woodhull’s upcoming “Summit,” to be held August 14-17, 2015 in Alexandria, Virginia, a long, lusty, sapiosexual weekend of discussions, seminars, networking events, trainings, parties and, of course, orgies (what’s sexual freedom without orgies?)—like last year, only bigger, better and more orgiastic, right by our nation’s capital.      

by Dr. Susan Block This very special DrSuzy.Tv show launches the widely anticipated new collaborative manifesto for the burgeoning ecosexual movement, Ecosexuality: When Nature Inspires the Arts of Love. Like the book itself, the show is a sumptuous feast of inspirational stories and challenging ideas about love, ecology, sex and sustainability—topped off (in the case of the show) with a delicious dessert of “Bonoboville Communion,” #FreetheNipple fun and an orgasmic after-party Sybian ride. My featured guest in-studio is Ecosexuality’s co-editor, the dazzling Dr. SerenaGaia Anderlini D’onofrio, a distinguished professor of humanities at the University of Puerto Rico and a pioneer with this rapidly growing worldwide movement connecting art, eroticism and environmental activism in myriad ways—both personal and political. In the first part of the program, Dr. SerenaGaia discusses the work, philosophies and fertile collaborations that led to the book’s creation. Then the esteemed professor delights us with how physically open she is—unlike so many other, stuffier academics who have promoted books on my broadcast bed—as she generously and joyously participates in our nipple-freeing rites and bonoboësque pleasures.

Fireworks Not Bombs! That’s our bonobo battle cry for the 4th of July. With America’s 239th birthday falling on a Saturday night, we take DrSuzy.Tv up to the Villa Bonobo roof, where I commemorate the occasion by lighting a sparkling birthday “candle” nestled between Biz Bonobo’s beautiful bodacious butt cheeks, as fireworks from the surrounding beaches, villages and wharves of West LA shimmer and explode all around us. Fireworks are orgasms for the eyes. They dazzle, pulsate, pop and go “bang,” eliciting “oohs,” “ahhs” and shrieks of joy. Our polluted city skies may be shorn of stars, but we can light up the night with the visual delight of human-made star bursts and galactic displays.

It’s another rollicking Last Supper Seder on DrSuzy.Tv, as we toast and taste the convergence of Easter Eve and the second night of Passover. Apologies to our Muslim brothers and sisters for not also blasphemously celebrating an Islamic Spring holiday, but the only one we know of is Persian New Year, and we already profaned that one on the Bonobo Spring Equinox. We do stray from monotheism with a tip of our shtreimel to the ancient Greek “Resurrection of Persephone,” the Spring rebirth of the Holy Daughter who soars up from the depths of Hell to the open arms of her Mother Demeter who is so delighted to see the Fruit of Her Loins that She showers the world in Spring. This “myth” happens to precede the Easter Resurrection of Jesus, the Son ascending to his Holy Father in Heaven, by several hundred years. And then, there’s the res-Erection of Dionysus who could be Christ’s twin brother. Yes indeed, Brothers and Sisters, in this 90-minute Bonoboville “Family” Easter/Pesach Seder/Egging we manage to offend every major monotheistic religion and a few of the pagan ones, so if you’re religiously thin-skinned, do not watch, listen to or get anywhere near this show.

By Dr. Susan Block It’s not quite Spring, but we plunge into Summer, and I don’t just mean the unseasonably sultry weather here in So Cal. I mean my guest, AVN Hall of Famer and Golden Age of Porn “legend” Karen Summer. That is, I plunge into the story of Karen’s life, times and turn-ons and her “partner” Big Cat Daddy’s cock plunges into her summer-hot, hungry mouth.

by Dr. Susan Block Springing forward into Daylight Savings Time (though it feels like we’re losing time) with The Bonobo Spring on the horizon, we get up-close and personal about life, love, bonobos, religion, revolution and camming with three hot cam girls and a guy. Then a little heartfelt booby-licking Bonoboville Communion, foot fetish play, snake play, striptease, topless hula-hooping, and we’re off and orgasming on a wild Sybian ride with Hitachi and human “attachments.”

From stimulating “Casual Sex” conversation to a marvelous demonstration of female ejaculation, this star-studded bonoboësque DrSuzy.Tv show brings together great performers and thinkers, professors and porn stars, sexpots and scholars, from Macedonia to Texas and Egypt to LA, to discuss, express, explore and explode with 50,000 shades of the poly-colored rainbow of human sexuality and (once again) soak my bed in Holy Water!

by Dr. Susan Block Still “in recovery” from last Saturday’s orgiastic whiptastic Valentine Lupercalia Bacchanalia, it’s nice to relax into a relatively small, intimate show focusing on just a couple guests, taking on issues of sex, love, the gender of God and 50 Shades of Holy Crap, while enjoying the sensuous sight of red hot wax dripping on the naked, porcelain skin of a bold and very beautiful young woman.

by Dr. Susan Block It’s V-Day 2015 on DrSuzy.Tv, and we celebrate Western civilization’s high holiday of love with a fantastic, orgiastic festival of lust. This sexy star-studded tribute to Lupercalia, the original pagan Valentine’s Day, is one wild, whip-cracking, spanking-hot, swinging, suckling, heart-felt feast for all the senses, including your sense of history. Just in case you don’t know, the history of the idealized, sanitized and highly commercialized holiday we call “Valentine’s Day” is rooted in the fascinating, ancient bacchanalian end-of-Winter festival of the Lupercalia (listen to me tell the story here), which we citizens of Bonoboville have resurrected from the annals of prehistoric Rome to the anals (and hot heart-shaped asses) of modern life. Yes indeed, long before there was the “holy crap” of ”holy crap” of 50 Shades of Grey, there was the sacred, consensual “BDSM” of Lupercalia in red. Get that illuminating history lesson here.

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

From Ferguson to Washington, murder and mayhem are heating up the land, much of it committed by officers sworn to protect and serve their communities, but too often behaving like military forces in enemy territory complete with combat gear and tanks in the street stoking the flames of discontent. What to do? It’s complicated, of course, but the only real, viable antidote to hate is love, and the most effective remedy to all this violence across America is “Sex Across America.” That also happens to be the name of the pet project and passion of my featured guests on this show, porn star power couple (married 14 years), AVN Hall of Famers and one of the most loving, community-oriented, dynamic duos I know, Alexandra Silk and Luc Wylder.

With the U.S. Senate Intelligence torture report’s description of the CIA’s über-nasty anal food rapes still upsetting our stomachs, we seek an antidote in a little consensual BDSM. Since the CIA’s quasi-secret Sexual Torture and Degradation Department’s “enhanced interrogation techniques” (EIT) were not only vile but resoundingly ineffective, they continued for two basic reasons—from which all lame excuses spring: 1) Sadistic Glee. You can see it in Dick Cheney’s sneer, and 2) “Hubristic Incompetence” (as defined by David Owen). For that, just look at the other chickenhawk pussy named Bush.

It’s Polly Superstar’s virgin voyage into the new Womb Room of Bonoboville, but it feels like a reunion. This is partly because we’ve led somewhat parallel lives over the past decade or so in our respective realms, mixing separate but similar sex-cultural cocktails: one part polyamorous exploration, two parts monogamish love, three parts artistic bonoboësque vision and 12 parts wild and crazy fun.
