Dr. Susan Block Gives “State of the Sexual Union” Address 2023 on WCAP-AM 980
Back by popular demand after her 2021 and 2022 “State of the Sexual Union” (SOTSU) addresses, world-renowned sexologist Dr. Susan Block, aka Dr. Suzy, returned to Active Radio with host Hartley Pleshaw on WCAP-AM 980 in the Massachusetts Valley on 2/25/23 to deliver a new SOTSU address for 2023.
“We had Joe Biden’s State of the Union last week. We had Vladimir Putin’s address. Well, those were just amateurs,” opined Hartley Pleshaw by way of introduction. “Today you’re going to get what we consider to be the most important state of the union – State of the Sexual Union, I should say – address of 2023, the one and only Dr. Susan Block… sexologist supreme.”
The two then discussed a variety of topics within the “meeting ground of sex, politics and culture which” Hartley says, “I believe [Dr. Susan Block] covers and handles better than anyone in the present contemporary scene.”
Just before the end, at the climax of the show, Dr. Suzy delivered the heart of her 2023 SOTSU address, her passionate “I Have a Fantasy” speech, inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King’s iconic 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech, updated for 2023.
Some of the subjects discussed include:
- War: Right after Dr. Suzy’s 2022 SOTSU address, Russia bombed Ukraine, and now America and most of Europe are at war with Russia, putting much of the world on a warpath which is the opposite of the Bonobo Way, the path of peace through pleasure. This warpath, mapped out for us by the war profiteers within the Miltary-Industrial Complex, dominates our budget, our hearts and minds and some of our bodies. During this year of war, Dr. Suzy responded with “Make Kink Not War” at her Yale Reunion, DomCon and on FDR, one of her key “fantasies” being to replace the Capitalocene, which values war for profit, with the Bonobocene, valuing female empowerment, male well-being, sharing resources, good sex and peace through pleasure. That’s one reason the theme of Dr. Suzy’s annual presentation at DomCon 2022 was Make Kink Not War: Be Bonobo.
- Censorship by Bot: The “Artificial Intelligence” (AI)—or as Dr. Suzy calls it, “Artificial Ignorance”—that terminated The Dr. Susan Block Show channel (and many other great shows and channels) on YouTube, and her remarkably effective “Block Curse” on YouTube CEO and Censor-in-Chief Susan Wojcicki who subsequently resigned. Nevertheless, despite the power of “Block Magic,” she says that Free Speech—in terms of noncorporate sex education and political expression—is still being unfairly censored in our more and more corporate, and less and less human (let alone humane) social media.
- Real Sex: Hartley dubs Dr. Suzy the “Official Sexologist of Active Radio” and commends her recent appearance in Vice TV’s Sex before the Internet episode 5, explores how HBO’s Real Sex revolutionized the portrayal of sex on television.
- DeSantis: Prompted by Hartley’s questions about the book-burning Florida Governor’s “Don’t Say Gay” programs, coupled with his 2024 U.S. Presidential ambitions, Dr. Suzy delves into the fascism-lite “phony cafone” populism and sadistic personality traits of her fellow Yale grad (Class of 2001, also a member in the infamous Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity, like G.W. Bush), Ron DeSantis and his personal record of torture and deception when he was a CIA lawyer stationed at Guantanamo prison as described in an interview conducted by Mike Prysner (the marvelous Abby Martin’s awesome husband) with one of his former prisoners.
- Trump: Hartley asks Dr. Suzy to address sexual conservatives’ support for Trump, a sexual libertine, to which she replies, “In a word, it’s hypocrisy,” then talks about how a libertine created a S. Supreme Court of the Religious Right to rule a citizenry that’s less religious than ever.
- Drag: When Hartley asks Dr. Suzy her views on the “Republican jihad about drag queens,” she discusses the history of ”drag” from prehistoric times to Shakespeare to now, and how closeted crossdressing, bisexual desires, erotophobia and shame mix with Rightwing politicians’ cynical and divisive approach to this “culture wedge” issue, creating a ridiculous yet very dangerous anti-Drag Queen/anti-trans crusade that has triggered mass shootings and other violence.
- “I Have a Fantasy”: Dr. Suzy delivers her latest rendition of “I Have a Fantasy,” inspired by MLK’s “I Have a Dream.”

Sharp insights on the effect online censorship is having and will have on all of us.

What a joy, pleasure and honor it was to have you deliver your annual SOTSU Address on my radio show once again!
And what a fantastic thrill it is to see all of these amazing comments about our interview all over social media! In the eight years of my show’s existence, NO program that I have ever done gets the incredible response that YOU and the SOTSU gets! And thank you SO MUCH for including that picture of me (complete with the names of my show, my station and myself) on your beautiful (and mega-sexy) collage! Not only is it an honor, but it’s the SEXIEST thing to happen to me since….well, let me get back to you on that!
Finally, and most meaningfully, your kind words touch my heart.
Thank you, Dr. Suzy, for sooooooo much—but above all, for being YOU!
GO BONOBOS!!!!!

Your State of the Sexual Union address should be broadcast around the nation after the regular State of the Union instead of the always lame Repugnican Rebuttal, which was particularly repugnant this year with “crazy” Sarah Huckabee Sanders. We need the Block Party!

Dr. Suzy’s erudite ASSessment of the Sexual state of the Union – geopolitics and sexual politics are entwined… is like a good fuck should be and the only screaming you’ll hear is the moans of orgasmic release in following the Bonobo Way

YES! Let the Capitalocene give way to the Bonobocene – what a great and glorious fantasy. Let’s do it now! Super hot and healing State of the Sexual Union address and a discussion we all need to hear.

Love your patriotic bikini, red high-heeled boots and all-American sex-revolutionary message. We need sex-positive shows like this to counteract the deleterious effects of the War on Sex and all the other wars.

So ironic that this awful war started right after your State of the Sexual Union 2022, but it certainly frames your two sex-positive addresses in stark contrast to this sex-negative WAR-positive times.

Excellent timely interview. Love the “breakdown” of sex and politics and the “takedown” of “Phony Cafone” Ron DeSantis – what a dork – and “Hypocrites for Trump” – such nonsense, but yes, dangerous nonsense.
Also, fascinating capsule History of Drag from primitive times to Shakespeare and now these bigots say its perverse. Great State of the Sexual Union! Just what this country needs.

Love Your royal blue Fishnet Stockings, Betsy Ross hat and star-spangled thong. And Your “I have a Fantasy” speech is the bomb – the good kind of bomb, a Sex Bomb – like a Sex Machine – NOT the Megamachine – we’re going from the Capitalocene to the Bonobocene – let’s do it!

Would be awesome if a hacker hacked into the White House Press Release page and replace the State of the Union Address with your State of the Sexual Union Address

Wonderful interview. Your State of the Sexual Union speech is so emotionally evocative. There is a measure of immediacy in the interview that is palpable, from Real Sex to Drag Queens and more.

Bravo! I love every minute of your interview! It didn’t seem long enough! So much happened within the past year in sex! What really sticks out to me in the war in Ukraine! And it’s still going! Putin’s tiny dick/lack of sex has sure caused a lot of issues around the world! And amazing work on the Block Curse! The Censor in Chief is gone! Hurray! Hopefully a better CEO takes her place.

Congratulations on your third year giving the SOTSU address! I am glad I could hear it again! Woohoo! Although, I think it’s a bit sad that we’re still so far away from realizing all those fantasies! But thank you for speaking out! I am also afraid of what losers like DeSantis will do. He must have something big to hide since he is constantly fighting to for anti-LGBTQ, anti-sex, anti-women policies.
