What an amazing, bonoboësque, masturbating-and-fornicating fiesta of a live show! What a way to kick off (not to mention jack ‘n’ jill-off) the Merry Masturbation Month of May, with a tip of my tipsy sombrero to Cinco de Mayo. Commemorating the Battle of Puebla on the 5th of May in 1862 when a relatively small, poorly armed militia of 4500 led by Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin defeated the well-equipped French army of 6500 soldiers which had come to install Napoleon III’s cousin, the Archduke Maximilian of Austria (no relation to my Prince Maximillian of Prague), as ruler. The Mexican victory was short-lived, but it was an underdog’s triumph against overwhelming odds, a glorious, memorable moment of revolutionary euphoria.
The message of masturbation is also revolutionary, on a very personal level. That is, if you can help yourself to the greatest sexual pleasure, you really don’t need to submit to the demands of an unreasonable husband, wife, religion, government or snooty archduke. No wonder masturbation is still so taboo! Back in the 1990s, U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders lost her job for having the temerity to suggest that masturbation could be included as a form of safe sex in a school sex educational program. If only then-President Bill Clinton had taken Dr. J’s sound advice instead of sharing his DNA with Monica’s blue dress, he might not have been impeached. Instead, he caved to Republican pressure and fired Dr. Elders. To combat such Presidential ignorance and other solo sex taboos with education and celebration, my mentor Dr. Betty Dodson and our friends up at Good Vibrations invented the M Month. ¡Mes de Masturbación Feliz!
Here in Bonoboville, we call the early May convergence of Cinco de Mayo and the start of Masturbation Month, “Masturbation de Mayo,” and who better to share it with than sinfully sweet Selma Sins, Ideal Image Models’ adult starlet and one of our favorite return guests on DrSuzy.Tv. Having grown up in a traditional Mexican-American family, Selma has celebrated many Cinco de Mayos, but none with quite so much salsa caliente as this one.
Which brings me to my other featured guest: Tyler Knight is a DrSuzy.Tv virgin, but he’s a quick study, though not a quick comer. His gallant demeanor is quite knightly indeed. Playgirl spokesmodel, AVN-award-winning porn star and “dirty realism” writer (with a novel on the way!), with his own trademark blow-up doll, which has traveled the world, even making an appearance on The Colbert Report. But we’re most impressed by how Tyler himself made it to Bonoboville: He literally ran all the way to West LA from Silverlake! Talk about stamina; the noble Mr. Knight is the king.
Or more accurately, he is the President, a.k.a. the “Porn Obama,” having played the part of the U.S. Commander-in-Chief in a couple of adult films, including the Hustler parody White House Orgy, featuring the music video “America on the Run,” with Tyler playing a gold-chained, rapping Prez flanked by bikini-suited aids Selma and Bonnie Rotten. He also plays Barry in a scene with Lisa Ann as Sarah Palin, and says the “most popular porn star in the world” (whom I interviewed for Playboy TV back when she was just a White House intern) is very “generous” on set. Though he’s more buff than Barack (also a running enthusiast), Tyler’s got that presidential air about him, even naked—or maybe especially naked—which we uncover through the sacred ritual of Bonoboville Communion.
For this, we have a delectable new libation, Dirty Tequila, thanks to our own Nikki Knight (no relation to Tyler). And what more appropriate drink to toast this “south of the border” fiesta than tequila? Though Dirty Tequila isn’t your typical blue agave beverage that scalds your palette so you really need that salt and lime to cut the burn. It’s “great tequila taste with no ‘tequila face.’” Sure enough, its scrumptious cinnamon-pineapple flavor infusion makes you forget you’re imbibing hard liquor, at which point you may find yourself doing and saying things worthy of the name “Dirty.” If you’re an easy drunk, sip with care. It’s too good! But do try this delicious and potent libation, especially if you like “girly drinks,” whatever your gender.
Though Dirty Tequila needs no salt, Bonoboville Communion does (salt being our version of the communion wafer), and for Masturbation de Mayo, Trixie Plenty makes it as green, white and red as a Bandera de Mexico. Then we sprinkle it on various body parts, starting with Selma’s lovely natural boobs and luscious vulva lips—¡Olé! Tyler goes down con mucho gusto, and pretty soon has Selma screaming en Español and climaxing in the universal language of love. Now that’s effective Obamacare. If the real President is possessed of one-tenth of Tyler’s oral skill, then Michelle must be one happy First Lady. Tyler’s “Dirty Spanish” is almost as fluent as Selma’s. He is a cunning linguist, as well as a lingering cuntist (if that’s a phrase).
For her Dirty Tequila Bonoboville Communion, Selma’s tongue traces the dark Knight’s happy trail all the way down his utility belt past, under his red boxers to that über-Presidential flagpole of his. Thus the masturbation celebration segues into good old-fashion copulation or, as Tyler’s clan of strict Southern Baptists might say, “fornication.” Whatever you want to call it, it’s a wondrous, erotic sight to behold: two gorgeous, playful humans with a lot of chemistry… and a little Dirty Tequila—doing it in almost every position possible, head-phones and hats flying , kicking off the M Month with a BANG! Thanks also to Condomania for your Magnum condoms,providing homeland security for Airforce One.
And there’s one more thing to celebrate: Selma’s 24th birthday (coming up May 18th), for which she gets 24 spanks with my green and red JuxLeather finger-floggers, and a few thwacks for good luck with Mr. Knight’s Excalibur. Speaking of which, shout-out to Catherine Imperio, another May baby!
Just before Bonoboville Communion kicks in, we take a bunch of questions and comments from the Twitterverse. Masturbation is always a hot topic, and everybody loves Selma and Tyler. After Panty Boy gets Selma to exchange her turquoise panties for a lacy pink thong, he asks about her favorite sex scenes, and she chooses her most recent “interracial” film (her partner in this scene happens to be one of our other favorite guests, Ideal Image Models’ secretly royal Isiah Maxwell). Just the word “interracial” gets all of us talking about the racist jerk (no offense meant to jerkin’ it for the M Month) of the week: infamous billionaire, former slumlord and current Clippers owner Donald Sterling, formerly Donald Tokowitz (Oy! Why does this noodnick have to be Jewish?). Everyone is wondering how an NBA team owner could make such loathsome, irrational demands regarding “black people” of his half-black/half-Latina mistress/archivist/silly rabbit and recently-declared Presidential candidate V. Stiviano. I don’t know all the facts (who does?), but Sterling’s racist remarks—coupled with his sleazy habit of bringing women into the Clippers’ locker room during shower time and saying “look at those beautiful black bodies”—reveals that he’s an “interracial sex fetishist” in addition to being a garden-variety bigot.
Factor in the fetish, and it makes a certain kind of creepy “sense” that the old relic tells his girlfriend to go ahead and “sleep with them,” but she must not “promote” his (or their) fetish on Instagram where others can see. Having an interracial sex fetish is no excuse for racism. But getting to the sexual meat of the matter does shed some light on the racist rant and “plantation mentality” that has held the media in its grip most of the week. Factor in the heavy medication Sterling’s on for his prostate cancer, and you’ve got one blithering BBC-loving billionaire bigot. Alas, far worse than his blithering are his and his wife’s discriminatory actions in real estate against regular folks with a lot less power than Magic Johnson, systematically excluding African-Americans and Hispanics from his rental properties.
Not everybody who enjoys watching or engaging in interracial sex is a bigot. Not at all. Indeed, if you don’t enjoy watching the erotic beauty of Selma and Tyler getting O-Laid… you must need a shot of Dirty Tequila. It turns on Pr. Max and me so much that, after Selma and her cute “civilian” friend Sara leave, Tyler runs back to Silverlake (seriously!) and the post-show drama (oh, the drama!) dies down, we have to do a little mutual masturbation of our own…
So… ¡Viva la Masturbación! Have a papi-happy, slappy Masturbation de Mayo, take matters into your own hands and enjoy the pleasure of your own company for the rest of the Mmmmm month. If you need a hand, call our therapists for a telephonic adventure in Guided Masturbation. In between solo sex sessions, check out Bonoboville in Beta.

And so, it has come to pass that the Anointed One is the Indicted One. Trumpty Dumpty has fallen (again), and maybe this time, all his cult’s Handmaids and MAGAt Men can’t put this Mango McMuffin back together again.
It’s not an April Fool’s prank. And no, it’s not a Witch Hunt. It’s a “Pussy Ass Bitch” Hunt (with a hat tip to fabulous “Filthy Mouthed Wife” Chrissy Teigen). Breaking News: He’s charged with 34 FELONIES.
Spanking Trump Baby with the Bonobo Way… and Indictments!
So, we clink Coronas and Manischewitz (Pesach Sameach—it’s almost Passover!) on this FDR—cautiously—hoping we won’t get April Fool’ed… again. After all, Mango McMuff’s polls shot up like that indictment was a hit of Viagra, and he can always run for President from jail like one of my socialist heroes, Eugene Debs, did in 1920.
Well, as the Trump Train, aka the Chump Train, keeps on rolling down the tracks to fascism, our Love Train keeps rolling from the Capitalocene to the Bonobocene, along The Bonobo Way.
“The Goal is the Journey,” as always, but as staunch Stormy Daniels supporters since 2017, we’re still hoping for our Happy Ending. Sure, breaking campaign finance laws isn’t Trumpty’s worst crime by any means (see election tampering, insurrection–fomenting, Yemen-bombing, safety regulation-slashing, stuffing the Supreme Court with illegit misogynistic Christofascists, huge tax cuts for rich bitches and rapacious corporations, and the list goes on), a crime’s a crime.
It’s not unprecedented—or unpresidented—to arrest a former U.S. President. Ulysses S. Grant was arrested for speeding 121 years ago in his horse-drawn carriage. He was probably drunk too. He was often drunk, which is one reason that he was a great general. War is so horrific, you’ve got to be drunk or psychopathic to wage it.
Shoutout to Cyrus Vance Jr., esteemed member of my Yale class, who started up the Stormy case that Alvin Bragg is now running.
And what about Karen McDougal?
Dis-“Pleasure” FilmWe’ve been meaning to see the movie Pleasure since it was released last year, mainly because we know some of the cast—Axel Braun, Dana DeArmond, Tee Reel, Mark Spiegler, to name a few—and finally we did. What a waste of 90 minutes! Worse than a waste, we feel traumatized by this obscenely violent, vicious, slapping, punching, choking, spitting, vomit-inducing, warped, anti-porn, mainstream, big-screen view of the porn industry.
Pleasure is the opposite of pleasure. Film auteur Ninja Thyberg’s cinematic atrocity has very little to do with the porn biz that I have known or the porn stars I have played with for some 30 years—or the porn I have seen, including the wild taboo stuff that my sex therapy clients request that I watch with them. Sponsored in part by the Swedish Film Institute and the Netherlands Film Fund, I guess the film reveals that Red-Light-loving Holland and the swinging Sweden of the Sexual Revolution are not what they used to be. Anti-porn feminists joined forces with Christofascists, and Pleasure (the movie, not the feeling!) is their monstrous Love Child. Or, I should say, Hate Child.
No spoiler alert here, because—without a single sex-positive scene—this film is too rotten to spoil.
It’s a good thing Capt’n Max and I had a little hot orgasmic sex before watching this cinematic anti-aphrodisiac, because Pleasure is not a good date night movie. It even ruined our after-glow. We watched the whole damn thing, in case there was anything good about it, and no, there wasn’t, except the mildly funny moment when Chris Cock tells Sofia Kappel that interracial porn is somehow high-risk (on the same level as extreme violence), and she says that’s “racist.” Everything else pretty much sucks, and not in the good way. Well, now you know! We endured Pleasure to spare you the pain.
In Censorship News…Instagram deplatformed the account of Suzanne Hillinger, director of Moneyshot the Porn Hub Story, claiming it was sex work solicitation (of course, it wasn’t). Meanwhile, my primary Youtube channel is still terminated (though the Block Curse forced YouTube CEO & Censor-in-Chief Susan Wojcicki to resign), and Twitter is shadow-banning “sensitive” words of all kinds.
This is why we—like a lot of other unjustly censored artists, commentators and educators—are putting more of our own content on our own platform(s). For starters, check out our new vintage Sex Calls library. Then go to Clip-O-Rama where we Free the Nipple and much more.
In Other News…- Our Vice special featuring our Bonoboville Reunion is coming to a device near you at the end of May (so they say)! Meanwhile, if you haven’t seen it yet, we’re on Sex Before the Internet, also on Vice.
- Also coming in May (we think): an exciting screening of the 1973 porn phenomenon “Deep Throat,” is coming to LA, which will be hosted by the late director Gerard Damiano’s son Gerard, Jr. and daughter Christar. Got a movie theater or screening venue? Want to sponsor the event? Call Max at 626-461-5950. Check out my story of The Deep Throat Sex Scandal (play).
- China redefined the world last week, making peace between Saudi Arabia and Iran! Why isn’t the MSM talking more about this historic peace accord? You know why…
- We missed the 20th anniversary of the Iraq War last week. Well, just the opening 3/19/2003 bombs, because this damn Perma War is still not over. Max and I were protesting American’s unconscionable War in and on Iraq before it even started, and you can read about some of our adventures and opinions in my award-winning Terror Journals.
- Free Assange! We have supported him since 2010, and we support joining hands—Left and Right—to free this innocent journalist who revealed so much about the Iraq War and more.
- Make Kink Not War and Squirt for Peace! Get the T-shirts, and stand for peace, kink and squirting as the wars rage for the benefit of no one but the arms dealers.
Though most cars on the Love Train are festive, the Obituary Lounge is always kind of sad. On this show, we say good-bye to three friends:
Max Hardcore made movies that were pretty gross (but not half as gross as Pleasure), and he went to prison for them, but he was a sweet man (to us) and a great guest on the show. He died of sepsis (which almost killed me in 2006), doing it “his way” until the end.

Goddess Phoenix Steele and I met at the DomCon 2019 Mistress Tea, and we bonded over our grief for our mutual friend and Bonobo Way lover, Goddess Sadie Hawkins, brutally murdered by one of her disturbed clients just a few months before. Now, Goddess Phoenix is gone in a freak car accident. I still can’t quite believe we lost this lovely, caring, womanly woman.

Papi, aka David Harold Hunt, attended many Dr. Susan Block Shows as a Speakeasy member since 2010. The “Hot Sauce King” loved the hot and saucy women he met, ogled, appreciated, danced with, laughed with, spanked, photographed and enjoyed in Bonoboville. A dirty old man, to be sure, but always respectful, and what a joyous erotic spirit! After a fairly long struggle with cancer, Papi left this world… but never our hearts.
Pesach Sameach! Ramadan Mubarak! Happy (early) Easter!The Spring holidays are upon us, and perhaps because I am Jewish by birth or culture or race or however you define it, I talk mostly about Passover (Pesach) and sing “Next Year in Jerusalem” in Hebrew, as I sang every year of my youth, never wanting to actually live in Jerusalem; I preferred California.
https://drsusanblock.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/13/20160423_sexy_seder_edit.mp4And then there’s the Matzah (also spelled “matzo”), the practically tasteless holy cracker that has the divine ability, when broken, to create infinite crumbs all over your table, your clothes and probably your bed. Similar to the wafer in the Catholic Church, Matzah is the Body of Christ without the Christ. That whole Biblical Matzah origin story about 600,000 Jewish slaves leaving their Egyptian taskmasters in a hurry, packing their bread dough before it had time to rise, is pure fantasy. As I’m explaining all this on the show, I suddenly realize there could be another more realistic explanation for Matzah, the “unleavened” bread: though ancient Jews were never forced to leave Egypt en masse, Medieval Jews were often forced to leave Eurasian cities due to pogroms and other antisemitic massacres that may well have required grabbing that dough before it could rise as the Cossacks stampede your door.
Now the “Cossacks” are the Zionist settlers, and the “Jews” are the native Palestinians. Once again, I stress that Judaism is not Zionism, which is really fascism, Israeli-style, as is becoming more apparent to the Israelis themselves who are taking their protests of Netanyahu’s “judicial reform” to Biblical proportions.
Joining me almost randomly, but mainly to discuss the “Jewish question,” Pesach, matzah, Israel and Palestine, is fellow Semite and proud former member of Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue, Kdot Hussein. Almost religiously opposed to my breast-therapeutic avatar (he prefers Max and Unscene Abe) and outraged by my belief that happy bonoboësque cuckolds make for a more peaceful world, Kdot does agree with me that Israel’s oppression of Palestinians has got to stop.
Hop aboard FDR for more sex, politics and bonobos! Have some matzah, and remember it’s a mitzvah (good deed) to have sex on Passover and other festive Abrahamic holidays. Most Rabbis say the mitzvah is only for “husband and wife,” but I, Rabbi Dr. Susan bin Block, say it’s okay as long as it’s between enthusiastically consenting adults (and that includes self-pleasure)—but don’t mix the sex mitzvah with the matzah, or you’ll wind up with crumbs in your holiest of holes.

In our third live broadcast focused on Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality, the Womb Room explodes into a chasm of brain-gasms that lead to a daisy-chain of orgasms, male sword-swallowing (the most dangerous deep throating you’ve ever seen), squirting, fisting and then back to brain-gasms again. A sensational and provocative Commedia Erotica festival of sex & the discussion of sex—who says you can’t judge a book by its lover(s).

This time he comes with his co-author/wife, the luminous Dr. Cacilda Jethá.

This show is dedicated to two amazing and very different individuals who are now no longer among the living. First, my dear Uncle Pip who just died at the age of 100. Born in 1913, Herman Block, aka Uncle Pip, experienced a full century of life. And a full life it was—athletic (a trophy-winning tennis champ and a great dancer), romantic, funny, loving and full of pep—that’s why we called him Pip. I love you, Uncle Pip, wherever you are! I wish I had visited you more, especially towards the end. Mazel Tov on making it to The Winner’s Circle of 100. My condolences to all who miss you now, your children, my cousins Elliot, Jeffrey and Diane, your many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Special gratitude goes to my saintly cousin Diane, who took care of him daily, virtually giving up her own life so that Uncle Pip could live 100 years, and never in a rest home. Good job Diane! Now, finally, you can take time for yourself—maybe you’ll even go to Burning Man!
This brings me to the other amazing individual to whom this show is dedicated, Gary Warne. He never actually went to Burning Man, as he suffered a fatal heart attack at the young age of 35, way back in 1983, his ashes dropped from the top of the Golden Gate Bridge where he had so often climbed with a secret group of San Francisco urban daredevils and iconoclasts called the Suicide Club. I’m proud to have been a fringe member of this mysterious underground association, climbing up to the top of the Bay Bridge and the gleaming Golden Gate, facing my fear of death 746 feet above a roiling San Francisco Bay on one side, tempestuous Pacific on the other, cars tinier than toys rolling across the suspension down the middle. Despite the name “Suicide Club,” we didn’t climb bridges to jump off, but just for the thrill of it, to face death with a zany yet serious zest for life. On top of that, the view from the summit at dawn was unbeatable.
So what does all this have to do with Burning Man? There are no bridges in Black Rock City, at least not real ones. But the Suicide Club begat the Cacophony Society which begat a huge counterculture event which begat a new culture.
On this show, we delve into the history and philosophy of the first Burning Man, and some never-before-spilled secrets of the Suicide Club, with two of the three co-authors of a breathtaking, beautifully illustrated, huge new book about the anarchistic artistic alliance that linked the two groups: Tales of the San Francisco Cacophony Society. Not only is it an excellent overview of the highly influential Cacophony Society (which, unlike its parent Suicide Club, courted publicity and took lots of awesome pictures), it’s also a “template for pranksters, artists, adventurers, and anyone interested in rampant creativity.” In fact, it’s got all the tools, ideas, lessons learned and inspiration you need to start your own chapter of, or at least get involved in, the Cacophony Society. In fact, as the saying goes, “you may already be a member.”
GUESTS
John Law: Co-author of Tales of the San Francisco Cacophony Society, one of the founders of Burning Man, active Cacophonist and early Suicide Clubber, John was my guide on my first climb up the Golden Gate Bridge. A good Midwestern Catholic altar boy turned Left Coast explorer, John has always searched for something more authentic than the pasteurized pablum of “normal” life, challenging himself and others to push the limits of creativity, adventure and endurance. It’s a personal pleasure to host John on DrSuzy.tv one more time (his first time was back in 2000 with my brother Steve, a fellow bridge-climber) as he regales us with tales of riding the cable car naked, creating the “Santacon” phenomenon, crashing corporate events with clowns, improving billboards with the Billboard Liberation Front and inspiring artists like comedienne/performance artist Margaret Cho, novelist Chuck Palahniuk’s “Project Mayhem” in Fight Club and LA’s Reverend Al, And while they may have hold formal dinners in abandoned buildings, “Leave No Trace” has always been the motto. “If you can’t get into a building without breaking any doors or windows, then the building wins,” says John. It’s especially gratifying to see my old bridge-climbing buddy inspiring so many young people in the Womb Room not just to think outside the box, but to do stuff outside the pre-fabricated norm. Of course, no show on the Cacophony Society would be complete without a profoundly Cacophonous moment of shock, embarrassment, hilarity and noxious odors. This happens early on, when I introduce John to my snake Eve, and she slithers right into his strong, warm arms—then poops all over his suit jacket, shirt, pants and shoes! And that the tale of how Snake Eve pranked the Master Prankster, not to mention put the caca back in Cacophony.
Carrie Galbraith: A Fulbright scholar, artist, conceptualist and co-author of Tales of the San Francisco Cacophony Society (published by Last Gasp founded by an old friend of Max’s and mine, Ron Turner), Carrie realized she was “already a member” in 1986 when she picked up a “Rough Draft” Cacophony Society newsletter, and soon thereafter became one of its primary editors. She also came up with the “Zone Trips” concept, and Zone Trip #4 turned into the first Burning Man. Though she politely turns down my offer to ride the Sybian, she seems to enjoy her Zone Trip to Bonoboville.
Amber Chase: In from Washington, this is Amber’s second appearance on DrSuzy.tv (her first was Spanking Porn Chicks, Boho Dancers back in 2010), and she’s so impressed with the new works in the sprawling Speakeasy Erotic Art Gallery, she’s going to send us some of her own erotic artwork to show. An avid cosplayer, Amber voices her appreciation for the rebellious creativity and roleplaying antics of our co-authors and their cohorts. After baring her lovely naturals to partake in Bonoboville Communion (thanks Lisa and Jello Shots LA!), Amber volunteers to mount the Sybian for a screaming—and quite Cacophonous—climax to the show.
Patrick J. Knight: On his virgin visit to DrSuzy.tv, Amber’s dashing fiancé is so inspired by his bride-to-be’s sensational Sybian climax, he has to have one of his own all over her chest! But first, they have passionate pre-marital sex on a couch in the after-party. Clip coming soon!
Michael Vegas: One of our favorite Eroses (from the orgiastic Eros Day XII), Mr. Vegas is now an avid Burner, reporting that he may have been “slightly altered” last summer on the playa where he and his girl strode through the sand with his hipster parents, who have been Burning in Black Rock for over 10 years. In the after-party, Michael performs a dazzling, neon-glowing Poi show that brings a little bit of Burning Man into the Speakeasy.
Mischa Brooks: On her virgin appearance on DrSuzy.tv, this sultry brunette adult star declares her love for Burning Man (she already has her tickets for this summer’s pilgrimage to the playa), and does her own graceful Poi show in the after-party.
Odette Delacroix: A DrSuzy.tv favorite, clever Odette is dressed up as nurse—just in case anybody falls off a bridge and needs medical attention—though she soon strips it off for Bonoboville Communion. This sweet petite Loyola Marymount grad loves wild sex and usually steals the show, but this time, she graciously gives way to our out-of-town guests—teasing us into wanting more of her next time!
Tiffany Star: A DrSuzy.tv award winner and the most-downloaded transsexual in the Vatican, Tiffany wants to go to Burning Man, mainly because a lot of people she knows tell her not to go. For Bonoboville Communion, she reveals her newly-enlarged breasts. “How much does a set like that cost?” Max inquires. “Nothing!” replies Tiffany, “they were free!” Obviously not all of Tiffany’s fans are in the Holy See; some are plastic surgeons.
Star: Another Speakeasy virgin, this lovely fetish and pantyhose model drops her top for Bonoboville Communion with her friend Odette and her new friend Tiffany. We’d love to see more of her soon!

Whipping It Up for Lupercalia 2017 on DrSuzy.Tv. Photo: B Natural
Length 1:32:05 Date: February 4, 2017
https://drsusanblock.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/13/20170204_pre_lupercalia_edit.mp3
It’s February, so-named for the februa, leather strips that the ancient Roman Lupercalians would wield across hot palms and willing behinds, flogging and whipping the populace into a sexual frenzy that would very often lead to a baby boom nine months later.
Februa for February! Photo: Diego Sanchez
Lupercalia is the original Valentine’s Day, when the mid-February festival focused more on the pleasures of inclusive lust than the pressures of exclusive love. Unsurprisingly, the ancient pagan, Pan-centered Lupercalia was far too wild for the early Christian Church. Once ensconced in the power seat of Rome, the Church turned the horned and horny, great and goat-legged god Pan into Satan, aka the Devil, and transformed “The Lupercal” into the sanitized, commercialized holiday we now know as Valentine’s Day.
Pan Paniscus and Valentine-Shaped Buns
In a way, I love Valentine’s Day—because I love love. Married almost 25 years (to the same man!), I’m a living proof of lasting love, and Capt’n Max and I celebrate it every day, even when we’re too mad to even talk to each other. But honestly, single or married, I’ve always found Valentine’s Day to be rather forced; so, when I discovered its freewheeling roots in Lupercalia, I was thrilled to put my heartfelt February energy into the primeval Festival of the Februa.
Moreover, here in Bonoboville we are lupey for Lupercalia, partly because we are perpetually inspired by Pan, God of the Wild and patron saint of the bonobos, their Latin classification being Pan Paniscus. This year, not only are we whipping it up for Lupercalia, we’re gearing up for it with this first Saturday of February pre-Lupercalian warm-up.
The Valentine Heart is an Ass. Photo: B Natural
Speaking of the heart, there’s another symbol of Valentine’s Day, as well as a popular social media icon, which seems Lupercalian in origin. Consider that the classic Valentine “heart” looks nothing like the cardiac organ for which it appears to be named. It does, however, closely resemble a well-whipped set of buns. No wonder we call the perfect ass, “heart-shaped.” Because the heart logo’s dimensions are that of the perfect ass. Moreover, when it’s whipped or flogged, it glows bright red… just like several butts on this wild, whiptastic show.
Goddess Phoenix & FetPros
Kicking off our pre-Lupercalia warm-up is one of the world’s finest floggers, DomCon’s resplendent red-carpet hostess and professional Dominatrix extraordinaire, Goddess Phoenix, who first graced our stage on New Year’s Eve, winning the 2016 SUZY award for “Most Dazzling Domme.” Once again, the Goddess dazzles the Womb Room with her hypnotic fiber-optic floggers that seem to shoot like stars across the heart-shaped asses of several subbies, electrifying the ancient Lupercalian custom with a 21st century spin.
Goddess Phoenix, Super Domme! Photo: S. Block
She also lets us know about her brand new brainchild, FetPros.com, here to “fill the hole” (in more ways than one) that the demise of Backpage’s adult section created. Fetpros features professional FemDoms, Masters, slaves and submissives showing off their BDSM talents, turning 50 Shades of Grey into 50 million colors of the fetish rainbow.
The Goddess displays her various leather, light-up and soft-cloth floggers with rhythmic flair, as well as her powerful hands, on several willing behinds, including our own Gypsy Bonobo and Jacquie Blu, to the spank-catchy tune of Carmina Formosa’s “The Kinkster.”
The Joy of Ms. Joy Luck
However, the Goddess focuses much of her dazzling dominance on a beautiful virgin to Bonoboville, Ms. Joy Luck, fet-pro player of Sanctuary Studios LAX.

Ms. Joy Luck more than lives up to her name, as she is a joy, and we are lucky to have her. With more than “enthusiastic consent,” she follows Goddess Phoenix’s instructions and subjects her heart-shaped ass to her various implements of pain and pleasure, pronouncing each stroke “delicious.”
Pre-Lupercalian Sybian Ride
After the break, the plucky Ms. Luck volunteers to ride the Sybian—for the first time! First she strips naked, as the Womb Room gasps, murmurs and suddenly gets a lot more crowded. People in the bar, gallery and the garden see her on the monitors, stop what they’re doing, and soon are thronging in to witness, up-close, this vision of loveliness, a nude Venus amongst us, the Goddess of Beauty herself, giggling and mounting the infernal machine.

To keep the Lupercalian rhythm going, Goddess Phoenix whacks Ms. Luck from behind with a neon orange paddle she later gives me as a gift, and I spank her other cheek with The Bonobo Way, as she fingers her shaved labia and clitoris.
Actually, she seems to enjoy the spanking more than the Sybian, as she dismounts before she comes, and asks for more spanks and flogs, which we are only too happy to provide her.

Later, the Goddess generously lets a couple of my other guests, Madam Raven Rae and Sir Pent try out her fiber-optic floggers on Ms. Joy Luck’s lovely, lucky naked derriere.
Sexy Madam Raven Rae
It’s great to see Madam RavenRae, whom we last saw on Winter Solstice with Elvis, back in Bonoboville. She’s like a member of the family that we haven’t seen since the holidays.

FetPros supporter and Goddess Phoenix’s partner in FemDom Power Parties, as well as winner of the 2016 SUZY award for “Sexiest Domme,” Madam RavenRae is sexy as ever in rich Lupercalian burgundy to match my own.

Sir Pent & His Nipple-licious Slavegals
Also on DrSuzy.Tv for the first time is the gallant Sir Pent (pronounced “serpent”), with his two submissives, one of whom is his wife, aka Slave Princess, while the other is her best friend, submissive Fire. Both curvy ladies are only too happy to be flogged by their Sir, simultaneously or separately, butts or boobs.

Fire even submits to a special pre-Lupercalian naked boob-flogging, her prodigious nipples hardening with each flick of the Februa.
This reminds me to give a shout-out to good old Cosmo magazine, which features my advice on nipple play in the current issue. This triggers Gypsy’s fond memories of her first sex lessons as a young Cosmo Girl. Maybe some of those lessons were from me… No wonder she turned out so fantastic.

Nipple play leads to relationship talk, and Sir Pent and his nipple-licious slavegals divulge some juicy details of their boundaried but BDSM-open Ménage à Trois.
The Wolf Howls for the Lupercal
And wouldn’t you know it: several members of the cast of “Ménage à Trois,” the erotic trilogy by Tuesday Conner that we featured on last Saturday’s show, join us from our studio audience, including Tuesday, the Oracle, Twin Butterflies and “Sexiest Rapper” 2016 SUZY award winner, Ikkor the Wolf.
Ikkor the Luper howls for Lupercalia. Photo: B Natural
The Wolf happens to be another Lupercalian power symbol. The star of the Lupercalia story is its namesake, the “Luper.” If you don’t know a “luper” from a “leper,” the former is Latin for “She-Wolf.” I’ll tell you more of the story on February 18 when we celebrate Lupercalia, or you can check out last year’s Commedia Erotica performance. For now, I’ll just say that the Luper makes her star appearance when she miraculously rescues the infant twins, Romulus and Remus, the future founders of ancient Rome, from drowning in the Tiber River. Then, she “suckles” them in a cave they call the Lupercal. Interestingly, the word “lupa” is Latin slang for “prostitute”… which explains a lot, especially all the suckling.
Ikkor is most definitely a He-Wolf, though he nourishes the Womb Room with his music. He doesn’t even have to stand up; he just lays back between the sexy legs of Madam RavenRae as he raps, “She Bad,” and we all dance and flog our hearts with februa.
Trump/Bannon Wrecking Ball
Did you think that, aside from the safety pins on my boobs, we managed to avoid politics on this show? Not a chance! How is it even possible, with such crazy “alternative facts” (the latest being Kellyanne Conway’s much parodied, nonexistent “Bowling Green Massacre”), along with shocking and unconstitutional executive orders shooting like misplaced missiles out of the White House on a daily basis, in the face of some of the largest protests the world has ever seen? Is this chaos sheer incompetence or something more nefarious; a deliberate Art of War-like maneuver to push the media and the public into such a confused, out-of-balance state that we can’t even see that this brand new executive team without a mandate is taking a wrecking ball to peace, liberty and all that we hold dear.
This is why I love the meme parodying Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” with a near-naked and quite corpulent Trump riding the wrecking ball that is Stephen K. Bannon’s head. As the Clown-in-Chief and his surrogates lurch, screech and crash into things, like drunken kids driving a tank down Main Street, Bannon is fulfilling his mission to “wreck” the America he seems to so passionately resent.
Continuing to celebrate the Chinese New Year of the Cock, we keep Trump under “gag order” with a dildo. We also put him in a collar and a sailor hat (symbolizing his relationship with Navy man Bannon as well as his lethally botched Navy Seal mission against an Al Queda house in Yemen). You could say it’s our Trumpocalypse Therapy, kind of like using a punching bag to release frustrations, or maybe a voodoo doll. But Trump only cares about people saying he’s got a big one (cock or inauguration crowd), when we all know it’s pretty tiny. He just wants to be loved, which must be a bitch when you’ve got the lowest approval rating of any new U.S. President… ever!

Bannon is more of a true believer, in love with war and crisis (just look at his films), as well as capitalism, nationalism, patriarchy and “Judeo-Christian values,” which, according to the second of his three ex-wives, comes down to his being an old-fashioned wife-beater.
World Bonobo Day & Golden Age
What’s a good ethical hedonist to do? Resist and protest, practicing rƎVO˩utionary peace through pleasure, the Bonobo Way. Speaking of which, February 14th is “World Bonobo Day,” as so declared by our friends at the Bonobo Project. So, please donate what you can to these wonderful folks, as well as Lola ya Bonobo and the Bonobo Conservation Initiative, and give the gift of The Bonobo Way on Valentine’s Day to someone you love, even if that someone is YOU.
Just before Valentine’s Day, we will broadcast The Dr. Susan Block Show live on Sunday, February 12th from the Cupcake Theater with Nina Hartley, Seka, Ron Jeremy, Amber Lynn, Kay Parker, Veronica Hart, Alana Evans, Hyapatia Lee, Kelly Nichols and more stars of the Golden Age of Adult Cinema – nothing to do with Trump’s Golden Showers… then again, who knows?
Post-Show Flogging, Orgasms & Bonobo Love
Meanwhile, on this pre-Lupercalia warm-up show, the flogging continues into the wee hours. I even get a fiber-optic flogging lesson from Goddess Phoenix, using Jacquie’s amenable ass and back for my target practice.

Then it’s time for my Valentine. After kissing our guests on both cheeks, we grab each other’s not-exactly-heart-shaped but very happy buns… to romp together like young Lupercalians through the orgasmic countryside of our marriage bed.
Don’t miss Lupercalia 2017 – featuring Mistress Porcelain Midnight, Bambi Leigh and more – next Saturday, February 18th in Bonoboville.
As always, join us in-studio or watch us online.

Streaming through the Tunnel of Love, we go deep inside Deep Throat, one of the most ground-breaking, profitable and controversial American films ever made… which happened to be about blowjobs.
Of course, Deep Throat was not just about blowjobs. It actually showed blowjobs as well as cunnilingus, doggy-style, reverse cowgirl, orgies and more—in all their cinematic, super close-up, technicolor glory—on the big screens of major movie theaters throughout the U.S.A., from its debut in 1972 until the invention of the VHS-tape in the early 1980s led porn into private spaces, and the smartphone took it under the covers.
Our guests on this riveting ride into porno-cinematic history are Deep Throat auteur director Gerard Damiano’s son and daughter, Gerard Damiano, Jr. and Christar Damiano, who regale us with tales of growing up with the “King of Porn”—though as kids, they never saw the porn—and carrying on the legacy of their dad’s work, including Deep Throat, now commemorating its 50th anniversary with 4k restoration screenings, talkback panel discussions, interviews and parties at theaters and festivals around the world. However, for a few wild and wonderful years, everyday people watched porn on big screens in big theaters—partaking in a group experience of what I call “communal ecstasy”—and Deep Throat was the biggest of all.
Other Damiano films, like The Devil in Miss Jones and Memories Within Miss Aggie, may be more artistically refined, but Deep Throat was a phenomenon, a little $24,000 movie that went on to gross $400-600 million; Capt’n Max heard it may have even topped a billion! Its exact profits (of which the Damianos barely saw a dime) are shrouded in mystery, along with many other elements of this iconic motion picture that helped to spark the Sexual Revolution and “Porno Chic.” So popular, it became a household term—even in respectable, upper middle class households—“Deep Throat” also served as the codename for the Watergate informant (Assistant FBI Director Mark Felt) who exposed U.S. President Richard M. Nixon for being a common (in addition to war) criminal, forcing him to resign. Yes, Tricky Dick really tried hard to shut down Deep Throat, but “Deep Throat” shut down Tricky Dick.
“Say Ahhh”… Dr. Young, played by Harry Reems, finds Linda Lovelace’s long-lost clitoris in a pivotal scene from “Deep Throat.”
Deep Throat also made a huge star out of its leading lady, Linda Lovelace, the original “girl next door,” who played a sexually frustrated woman whose psychiatrist (the inimitable Harry Reems) discovers that her clitoris is located in her throat and then helps her to pinpoint it—in the interests of medical science and her own relief, of course—with his dick. See, it’s all about blowjobs!
Well, it’s a comedy and a very conventional male sexual fantasy that distorts women’s physiology in pursuit of the ultimate BJ. Nevertheless, Deep Throat did teach a lot of sexually uneducated adults that women are capable of experiencing tremendous orgasms, usually via stimulation of the clitoris (which is never in the throat). From its own goofy, low-budget, decidedly male point of view, Deep Throat supported sex-positive feminism, and the lovely and talented “Nurse” Linda Lovelace was its poster girl.
But alas, years later, in books and interviews, Linda revealed that she suffered terrible physical and emotional abuse, first from her mother, and then more severely at the hands of her ex-husband Chuck Trayner. Also her “manager,” Chuck seems to have been a cuckold who couldn’t handle his own jealousy. He loved the money and excitement of pimping his wife out in porn, but resented the power that porn was giving her. When Linda finally broke free of this goon and revealed his abuse, anti-porn feminists like Catherine McKinnon jumped at the chance to blame pornography for her suffering, took her under their wing, and remade her into a poster girl for the dangers of porn. Though Linda never said she was abused on the set of Deep Throat or any other film, thanks to McKinnon’s spin on her tragic story, it looked—and still looks—to many who don’t know the full, complex story, like Deep Throat was somehow responsible for the abuse of Linda Lovelace.
According to Gerard, Jr., the opposite was true, and Linda was a victim of “domestic violence” at the hands of her husband, but she was never abused on set (and actually, no one has said that she was) and indeed it seemed she found freedom in making Deep Throat, and being treated like a star with a very special “talent” by the cast, crew and eventually millions around the world certainly buoyed her chronically low self-esteem.
Going from abused child to battered wife to celebrated porn star to anti-porn Born Again Christian and then back to a form of porn (erotic modeling) just before her sudden death in a car accident, Linda’s true story is very complex. It deserves and receives our careful consideration in this show, but it doesn’t lend itself to soundbites or memes. As a result, many people (most of whom have never seen Deep Throat) are under the erroneous impression that she was abused on set and forced to perform the sex acts you see in the film.
Gerard and Christar correct that misconception as best they can on this show and elsewhere. Nevertheless, there is always pushback to showing Deep Throat anywhere in public. One of our scheduled screenings in Southern California was canceled almost at the last minute, and a few other screenings of the Damianos’ 50th anniversary tour have either been canceled or picketed by protestors, though most have been received with open arms, curiosity and appreciation.
Now it’s LA’s turn, and I’m honored to serve as moderator for talkback panels after the two screenings in West LA and West Hollywood. Click the links to get your tickets now!
- Friday, June 2nd: Laemmle Royal in West Los Angeles
- Saturday, June 3rd: 910 WeHo in West Hollywood
Both panels will feature the Damianos. The amazing Nina Hartley and Herschel Savage, both of whom worked with Gerard Damiano, Sr. (Nina starred in the unforgettably named Splendor in the Ass) will join us on the red carpet and the panel at the Laemmle Royal.
Our old friend Barry Miller—who attended a Hollywood fundraising party back in 1976 thrown by Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson to help Deep Throat fight “obscenity” charges against Harry Reems—will join us at 910 WeHo. Intimacy coordinator Erin Tillman and fetish model Lux Lives will be on our 910WeHo talkback panel, after which we’ll have a VIP party with Agwa di Bolivia Herbal Coca Leaf Liqueur and Absente Absinthe and more of Bonoboville’s favorite beverages to pour down your deep throat!
Harry Reems flanked by supporters and fellow actors Jack Nicholson and Warren Beatty.
If you’ve never experienced Deep Throat, now’s your chance! If you are old enough to have seen it in theaters, you’ll appreciate the nostalgia, and you’ll see things you may not have noticed before. For instance, there’s a kinky scene involving Coca Cola and a rather hairy nether region (almost all the genitalia in Deep Throat—except Linda Lovelace herself who is shaved—is as hairy as a bonobo!). Seeing this scene again made me realize that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ famous obsession with “pubic hair on a Coke can” probably comes from watching Deep Throat.
In other news… censorship is in the air—everywhere—and being shoved nonconsensually down our collective deep throats… especially censorship of sex-positive sex education (celebrity sex and even nudity is usually fine), but a pinch of leftist politics will make your sex-positive posts on social media more likely to be censored. Big Social Media consumes years of your work by canceling your posts and banning your accounts, and it may even be worse—in some ways—than back in the old Deep Throat days.
Check out my latest pro-bonobo manifesto “Kinsey Defunded, Perma Wars Mega-Funded, Books Banned, Social Media Censored & Our Humanities Up in Smoke.” Read it on Counterpunch.
And yes, my accounts are still terminated on YouTube, Facebook and IG.
Sign our dear friend Rhiannon Aarons’ eloquent petition to restore my Facebook and IG accounts. It’s a long shot, but you never know—it just might work!

Like anyone else with a conscience or even just a brain, we’re going a little insane from Putin’s “Rape of Ukraine.”
Of course, our poetic angst is nothing compared to the Ukrainian people who are being slaughtered by this power-mad bully.
As always, we’re for peace, love and The Bonobo Way, so we’re not going to get all ammosexual over this, like a lot of formerly pacifist people we know.
https://drsusanblock.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/13/20220226_fdr_57_edit_4.mp4
However, we greatly admire the Ukrainians’ passionate resistance to tyranny and remarkably strong self-defense!
Zelensky, the little Yiddishe Comic Who Could, has become a remarkable real-world leader, and the joke is on Putin.
Ironically, despite Putin’s claim that Ukraine is run by “drug addicts and Nazis,” their President is a Jewish comedian who lost several relatives in the Holocaust.
It’s hard to believe a Jewish jokester got elected President right there in the land of my own great grandfathers—a place where millions of Jews were ghettoized, persecuted and slaughtered in Russian “pogroms.”
Briefly freed by Lenin after the Russian Revolution (a generous and practical gesture that enrages Putin), they were then rounded up and exterminated by the Nazis, and most of those who couldn’t escape were killed or sent into gulags by Stalin. But a few stayed.
Now Volodymyr Zelensky, the little Yiddishe Comic Who Could, has become a remarkable real-world leader, and the joke is on Putin.
So, it’s truly remarkable to see, with boots on the ground and tweets on the web, Zelensky standing up to Putin, the biggest bully on the planet right now. As I write this, with every word, I’m checking the news to make sure my plucky lonsman is still alive, and I hope that hasn’t changed by the time you read this.
Turbulent Train RideBut who knows how the whole horrific situation will evolve or (more likely) devolve?
By the time you listen to this podcast, all the news could change.
I hope it does change to a state of peace and diplomacy… with good sex for all—especially Putin, who seems to really need some good nookie… gagged and straitjacketed.
Can any of those notoriously great Russian sex workers volunteer for that (admittedly odious) job?
Maybe Phone Sex Therapy would help. Call us Vladi!
Meanwhile, anything can happen—from a sudden and glorious peace with Russian soldiers trading their arms for sunflowers and kisses to a nuclear WWIII that would be devastating all of humanity…
But for now, as we broadcast live from Bonoboville, there is “heavy fighting” throughout Ukraine, and heavy hearts throughout the world.
Vibrant Ukraine of Luzer Twersky & the Baal Shem TovTo make a little more sense of it all, Capt’n Max and I invite our friend, multiple SUZY award-winning actor for “Funniest Fundamentalist Refugee,” Luzer Twersky, who recently spent over a month in Ukraine making “Dovbush,” a movie in which he plays the great 18th century Jewish mystic, the Baal Shem Tov who is actually Luzer’s own ancestor.
Winner Luzer holding one of his many SUZY awards.
Although Luzer is now pretty much atheist, as you may have learned on previous DrSuzy.Tv shows, he was born and raised in a very religious, prominent Saatmar Hasidic family with deep roots in Ukraine going back to this 18th century Jewish mystic, the Baal Shem Tov, who was, according to legend, kind of like a Ukrainian Jesus without the cross.
As good a storyteller as he is an actor, Luzer, gives us a very intense, very personal glimpse into what is happening in Ukraine right now, based on his experience making what sounds like a fascinating film about some of the history and legends of this extremely ancient, yet rapidly modernizing country.
At least, it was rapidly modernizing until Putin’s ghastly Rape of Ukraine.
In constant touch with the Dovbush cast and crew and other friends in Ukraine, Luzer talks about the real-life on-the-ground horrors of Putin’s assault, and updates us with Telegram app news flashes—some hopeful and others dreadful—directly from the “ground” in Ukraine, as they appear on his phone.
F.D.R. is now a breaking news show!

Sorry it’s more about war than love, though we do talk about good consensual sex and sex workers in Ukraine.
Also, the show opens quite lasciviously, with Max spilling his beer like a gush of foamy ejaculate, all over the bar, reminding us of what delicious “make-up sex” orgasms we shared the morning of the show.
No doubt, wars and battles of various sorts can stir up hot erotic energy, one reason why some people have a lot of sex during wars—or between arguments.
There’s not much comedy on this show either, as Luzer reminds us of how unfunny it is to have bombs dropping in your neighborhood, as the bottom drops out of your life. This is what is happening to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine.
So, this show is a Ukraine Love Train, though we also express solidarity with the Russian people who are opposed to Putin’s war, especially the brave antiwar protestors being arrested in the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
We even try to understand why this fellow human being we call “Putin” has gone “insane in Ukraine.” We even get into his actually rather legitimate gripes about NATO threatening Russia, piling up nuclear armaments near its borders.
We were proven right then, and we are right again: War is NOT the answer.
Still, invading Ukraine seems to be part of a personal Putin break-down, a “toxic masculinity”-based mid-life crisis that threatens the entire world. What’s that all about? Bad mothering? Lack of sex? Loneliness? PTSD from Soviet humiliation? Or, is it just a horrific case of Coronapocalyptic isolation?
Once More: Make KINK Not War“Make KINK Not War” is still our anthem, as well as the name of last week’s show and forthcoming T-shirts!
If you need to take a kinky break from War News, check out Kink: Another Guide for the Perplexed (with apologies to Maimonides).
Thank you Xbiz for a nice review of KINK, which they call a “book.” It’s actually just a long article, but it will be a book soon—so stay tuned!
Also, don’t miss my State of the Sexual Union address 2022 now online. Of course, that other State of the Union that Joe’s delivering is important, especially now, but so is sex, love and the Bonobo Way.
This is not an easy position to take. Almost everyone wants to fight “the Russians” right now. It was not easy to be antiwar during Vietnam (ask Jane Fonda), nor was it easy to be antiwar during the first Iraq War, or right after 9/11, but we were then and we are now. We were proven right then, and we are right again: War is NOT the answer.
Maybe kink will save the day. Putin once claimed (absurdly) that there are no gays in Russia, so perhaps the shock of seeing that the Ukranian military is tracking Russian troop movements by monitoring Grindr will awaken him from his toxic war trance.
Meanwhile Trumpty Dumpty is calling his idol a “genius,” which has nothing to do with intelligence; just a bully impressed by a bigger bully. CPAC is featuring Republicans pounding down premium Russian vodka shots and spouting Putin/tRump talking points, and on the other hand, Biden is sending arms to Ukraine. Homo sapiens on all sides are arming for battle. Fingers crossed no nuclear warheaded Russian submarines are looking for a good place to shoot their loads off the Cali coast!
What can be done? Some say “pray.” I say: Stay hydrated, exercise, keep a bag packed with all your essentials, pay attention to the news from different sources, give what you can to charities you trust, protest war and injustice as loudly as you can, and have plenty of sex.

MAX
Wheeee! Wheeeee! Whoaaa…
Dr. SUZY
You sound like you’re coming.
MAX
My beer came, that’s for sure. Good evening and we’re live.
Dr. SUZY
It actually looks like you’re coming all over the bar.
MAX
We’re live from the beautiful city of Arcadia, and my thing got wet when the beer spilled.
Dr. SUZY
Mmmm… it’s very foamy.
MAX
Yeah, it’s very foamy. Everything is very foamy right now, homey and foamy.
Hi and welcome aboard Trip number 57. I believe it is this train that goes, could go anywhere. You’re never on the wrong train when you’re on this train because this train is the train man, that’s it. And it’s a lot of fun. So tonight, like usual, we’re going to talk about stuff that you may like, and stuff that may turn your stomach and maybe stuff that’ll make you laugh. But most important stuff that might make you think.
I’m here tonight with myself, of course, and my memories and with uh, my engineer 626 who is in the special tonight and of course my beautiful friend, wife and good sex partner and other things, Dr. Suzy and you know Dr. Suzy from a long time ago when you were up past your bedtime.
Dr. SUZY
Public access. Hey, I believe in socialism of the boob tube. It’s good for the soul and the eyeballs.
Dr. SUZY
So greetings Capt’n Max and all aboard the Ukraine Love Train.
MAX
That’s it, we’re on it, see.
Dr. SUZY
And where are we going?
MAX
Well, we’re going towards right here on Earth and we’re gonna make peace on war.
Dr. SUZY
Peace on war? Well, we’ve got the war already…
MAX
Yeah, right, so we had to change it around.
Dr. SUZY
Yes, we have to make peace on it. You know, like the bonobos, you have to have some great makeup sex. We know about makeup sex, don’t we, Capt’n Max?
MAX
Yes, yeah we do.
Dr. SUZY
We do. Everybody fights sometimes. Hopefully, people don’t get killed in those fights. People are sadly getting killed right now in Ukraine. It’s really terrible. But whatever the fight is, you can always make up, right? It’s the Bonobo Way to do it, with sex, and to do it with love, and to do it with pleasure.
MAX
And sharing and no greed.
Dr. SUZY
Socialism!
MAX
Y’all know about greed, right?
Dr. SUZY
We believe in lust not greed. You’ve got to get passionate about something. So, because our lust is so repressed, they use that lack to enhance our greed; “they” being the Capitalogenic forces in our capitalist-crazed society.
MAX
Well, for me it was very…. what happened to the mute button? We’re watching ourselves!
Dr. SUZY
Mmmm Floating forests…. beautiful. Well, while this is happening, I’ll just make a little sort of semi commercial break and stay tuned into my sexual State of the Union AKA my State of the Sexual Union 2022 which is now online, both on our Youtube channel, unless they censor it, and on Facebook, unless they censor it. So check it out. It originally aired on WCAP and we of course thank WCAP and Hartley Pleshaw of Active Radio for a great show.
And you can also check out “KINK: Another Guide for the Perplexed.” Thank you XBiz for giving us a little promotion. They published their own piece which was very nice and in fact they called it a book and I must say “KINK: Another Guide for the Perplexed (with apologies to Maimonides) is pretty long for an article, but it isn’t a book, not yet. But, it will be soon, so thank you Xbiz for the positive prognosis and also Make KINK, Not War!
That was the name of our show last week: Make KINK Not War. But unfortunately we got war. But we still have that as a slogan for our lives and for our hope for the future. So, we’re making T shirts: Make KINK Not War.
OK, enough commercials now. We have to get into the story of the night.
All aboard the Ukraine Love Train! We are on it and that doesn’t mean we’re not on the Love Train for Russia, especially the brave antiwar protesters in Russia. I have that Bonobo Love for everybody, but I have deep respect for the antiwar protestors in Russia, very very brave and getting arrested for their protests. I don’t think the Russian police are as rough with their protesters though, as ours are, are they, Capt’n Max?
MAX
No, I don’t think so.
Dr. SUZY
They seem to be handling them with care. But they are taking them away, perhaps forever to Siberia, so…
MAX
Yeah, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
All right, you feeling good?
MAX
Yeah, oh, I’m feeling great actually. Besides the problems of aging it’s not, you know.
Dr. SUZY
Plus a little Ukraine pain.
MAX
And Ukraine pain and the obscenity. The obscenity of humanity. Yeah these OK we, you know, it’s like we don’t agree with you, so here’s what we’re gonna do…
Dr. SUZY
Yes, Rich Dudley on Facebook agrees with us. “Lust is it,” he says. And he has a picture of a lusty looking dog on Facebook.
MAX
Oh God, look at that.
Dr. SUZY
And Mistress Lovett says “Hello Bonoboville.”
We are here on Facebook as well as I think Twitter and YouTube and some other places and we are showing different things which is live. Are we now showing my great grandfathers, oops it’s gone.
MAX
This is a German.
Dr. SUZY
That was your great grandfather, the German Nazi commander. And this is my great grandfather’s citizenship papers when he became a U.S. citizen in Pennsylvania. Sam Cohen became a U.S. citizen in 1899, and he declared himself to be loyal to the United States, not Russia. And it’s interesting because I’ve always heard that my great grandfather was from the Ukraine. A lot of Jewish people in America were from the Ukraine. They fled the pogroms of different sorts, and finally of course, the Nazis. But there were just your generic pogroms when my great grandfather fled.
Of course this was before it became the Soviet Union. The Tsar would encourage Cossacks and others to just kill some Jews for fun. So my great grandfather left this place they called the Ukraine and yet it was considered part of Russia and he had to forswear his allegiance to the Tsar of Russia, which he did easily. But, I guess I’m just making the point that Putin is an asshole. But there are always reasons.
MAX
Yes
Dr. SUZY
Then it helps even with assholes and bullies to understand what those reasons are, even if those reasons are no justification whatsoever. They are not, but we’re going to examine a few of Putin’s reasons tonight. I’ve been watching our friend Abby Martin who is always examining other sides of things that we don’t hear in the mainstream media.
So anyway, there are reasons, and yeah, there is no good reason. There is no justification for this action of Putin. which I am calling the “Rape of Ukraine.”
Now, Ukraine might survive. I believe it will survive, but this has been a rape. This has been disgusting and yet there are always reasons. And if the asshole is still in your house, you’d better figure out what those reasons are, so you can handle things, especially if the asshole has a nuclear bomb or 800.
So one reason – which is no excuse; Ukraine is its own country now – but at one time way back, it was part of Russia. It’s true. It was an almost colonized part of Russia that was mistreated a lot and the Jews were there. Some Gypsies. It was the Pale. It wasn’t Moscow or Saint Petersburg.
Putin is using that as an excuse. It is no excuse, but, it is part of the vision, the mentality that is behind this.
So just I’m looking at this as an antiwar person as a Make-Love-Not-War activist, but I believe in self-defense, and I certainly have great admiration for the Ukrainians. So I guess if I have to pick sides, well, I’m on the Ukraine Love Train. But I don’t want to pick sides, not exactly. I want them to defend their country, but mostly, I just want the war to stop. I’m not one of these “Let’s fight with the Ukrainians!” war-cheerleaders, not because I’m not on their side (I am), but because there in lies World War III.
What do you think Captain Max?
MAX
You know the one thing that is all these bombs are going off all over the place is that the Russian troops you know took over.
Dr. SUZY
Chernobyl, right? Ah, that is so frightening, yeah.
MAX
And did you know, and hopefully this is a rumor, but I’ve heard it on several places that the Russians have missiles or some kind of armaments pointed at the Dome there. That if they set that off, it will affect all of Europe worse than any you know worse than anything the world has ever known.
Dr. SUZY
Yes
MAX
Never known yes in terms of radiation and-
Dr. SUZY
You were born in World War II.
MAX
I was born in World War II and it looks like I’m going to die in World War three.
Dr. SUZY
I hope not.
MAX
Yeah, yeah yeah but not.
Dr. SUZY
Let’s not talk about your death. You had the Little Death, a nice orgasm, this morning.
MAX
Yeah, that was, uh, that was you.
Dr. SUZY
Something about that war fervor sometimes makes you have a lot of sex.
MAX
That wasn’t it.
Dr. SUZY
But I don’t approve of war at all. I’m just saying there’s something about the excitement and uncertainty of war, the fear that today is your last day, so might as well have sex. Whether you’re anti war or pro war, you know it’s sort of engenders some passion. So it’s engendering us to be very anti war.
I understand the people on the Ukrainian side, and though I’m a pacifist, I believe in self-defense. And I have a lot of admiration for the Ukrainians defending their country, especially, I think, for this comedian they elected President. Soldiers, and especially, I think for this comedian.
MAX
Oh he’s great. He says, “I’m not leaving.”
Dr. SUZY
Zelensky! I was talking about him last week as a kind of Zelig, but that was before the invasion got underway. But in a way, he’s more than ever a kind of Zelig character that is blossoming into kind of a hero. He is standing up for his country and he’s doing it in a passionate way.
MAX
And himself.
Dr. SUZY
Yes, of course, because as he says, he would be the first target.
MAX
Yeah, very important.
Dr. SUZY
And it is interesting that another one of Putin’s reasons (that is not a good reason, but it’s worth paying attention to) is that Ukraine is being run by drug addicts and Nazis.
Now I’m all for drug addicts, though not Nazis, and by the way, you know, there’s a lot of drug addicts in charge of America, especially if you count prescription drugs, but I don’t think Zelensky is much of a drug addict. As for Nazis, well, the Nazi part is interesting since Zelensky, I just found out, is Jewish.
I do understand from a little history course and a little rattling of my memory that there have been quite a few Neo-Nazis in Ukranian politics, especially in that Coup of 2014. So, Putin isn’t totally off-base saying Nazis have been in Ukraine, just a few years too early. That deadly Nazi Coup of 2014 was also very much supported by the U.S., including Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Senator Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Bomb Iran…
MAX
That’s a song, I think.
Dr. SUZY
Yeah, that was John McCain.
MAX
I remember that.
Dr. SUZY
Yeah, he’s no longer with us, but John McCain supported this coup that was very mixed with different people, Neo-Nazis among them, and they did some killing and it was not very nice for anybody, but especially not for Russia.
And then there was some draconian measures against Russians living in Ukraine. That’s not an excuse for an invasion, but it, it’s going on. That’s no excuse for an invasion, and it’s certainly not a justification, but it has been going on, though a lot less under Zalenski, who speaks Russian. Like a lot of Jews, Zalensky was a comedian.
MAX
Yeah.
Dr. SUZY
So, he played a president, a good president, in a hit Ukrainian TV show, and then he got elected real president of Ukraine, a different kind of role, but a role on the world stage. And since he spoke Russian, a few Russian Ukrainians actually voted for him, quite a few. And as an actor, he got the role of a lifetime. And now here he is.
Remember, when Trump tried to bribe Zelensky into blackmailing Biden?
MAX
Yeah, he would have none of it.
Dr. SUZY
And now Putin is trying to bully him into surrendering his whole country and himself. He won’t return his calls, of course. But Zelensky is rising to the occasion, and it’s interesting to see a comedian become a leader in an age when most leaders are clowns.
I am a Bonobo Make-Love-Not-War and Make-Kink-Not-War gal, and there is no excuse for any kind of lethal aggression but there is such a thing as self-defense. A lot of people use violence and claim self-defense, but when bombs are dropping on apartment buildings, hostages taken at Chernobyl, well, okay, fight back is clearly self-defense. And so he’s pretty admirable.
And I also wonder if Putin has a little bit of antisemitism going on there going after Zelensky calling him a drug addict and a Nazi. Of course there are Jews that are Nazis, right?
MAX
Oh yeah.
Dr. SUZY
What was that guy, that Miller? Stephen Miller?
MAX
Stephen Miller, what a piece of work.
Dr. SUZY
Right, right, right, he was a Nazi-ish guy.
MAX
This guy is.
Dr. SUZY
But come on, he’s Jewish, so I don’t know how Nazi he can be. I don’t know if Miller personally would be allowed into the Nazi club. But he was Nazi-ish in his practices and policies. But Zelensky is not that way.
Honestly, I’m pretty ignorant about the Ukraine, just learning like we all are, although we will be enlightened a little bit more in a little while with a special guest. Luzer Twersky is coming to visit.
MAX
They just finished filming over there. I mean not yesterday, but just last few weeks ago somewhere anyway, Luzer will be here in in a few minutes.
Dr. SUZY
One of our therapists, Hamilton Steele, who we don’t agree with about everything, but he is a great guy and fabulous pornstar and he is one of our therapists with the Institute.
So he sent us a photo of two people making love in the doggie style position, and he said now this is the way a Russian should invade a Ukrainian, implying of course that the guy was Russian and the woman was Ukrainian, and that it’s better to make love than war.
And now we have a Ukrainian clearing his cranium. That would be Luzer and we could put him on a microphone.
MAX
Where is he, hey Luzer, come out, come on over the Luzer there’s beer down there right behind you.
Dr. SUZY
We were just introducing you, Luzer.
MAX
Not my, not my…
LUZER TWERSKY
Is this a certain way?
MAX
Yeah, just that it’s pretty high-class operation.
LUZER TWERSKY
All right, am I, am I live? Yeah cool.
Dr. SUZY
We’re all live, yes.
MAX
Yeah, I get it.
Dr. SUZY
Well Max just shot his foam as the show was starting. You should have been here.
MAX
Yeah, that wasn’t my foam. That was my thing.
Dr. SUZY
Foam.
MAX
Yeah, I shot my foam, yeah.
LUZER TWERSKY
In an ashtray, you know what?
MAX
Second, for the weed.
Dr. SUZY
OK, so now I don’t hear him. He should put a headset on.
LUZER TWERSKY
Well, I’m gonna put a headset on there.
MAX
Yeah, OK, that’s been.
LUZER TWERSKY
Can you hear me, is it better?
Dr. SUZY
Welcome back to Bonoboville, Luzer Twersky, award-winning actor and adventure traveler documentarian and Baal Shem Tov player.
LUZER TWERSKY
Baal Shem Tov, yeah, that’s a new one. That’s fresh, right?
Dr. SUZY
You are playing the Baal Shem Tov.
LUZER TWERSKY
I do play the Baal Shem Tov in a Ukrainian film
Dr. SUZY
Right.
LUZER TWERSKY
I know I happen to have a very personal interest in Putin being crushed in the next couple of days because you know, if he can get the fuck out of there and get Ukraine back to where it was when I was there last year, then we can have our premiere.
Dr. SUZY
You know that’s another good reason to get him out of there.
MAX
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
See, there’s always reasons for things.
LUZER TWERSKY
I have a very personal interest in this. Like I put work in, I flew there. I spent like almost two months there. I only spent two weeks shooting and the other six weeks, I was just there because I loved that place so much because after this and the last time I was there before that was probably around 2008 or 2009.
Dr. SUZY
Oh, you were there in 2008 and why were you there?
LUZER TWERSKY
Then as I went to Oman, which is the, which is the gravesite of a very famous Hasidic Rabbi. We were going for the Jewish New Year. Some people go there for the Jewish New Year for Rosh Hashanah.
Dr. SUZY
Oh well, it is the birthplace of the Baal Shem Tov, and it’s where my great grandfather is from, and where so many Jews are from.
LUZER TWERSKY
This is where my family is from too! Big pilgrimage. Yes, the Carpathian Mountains.
Dr. SUZY
And of course, now they have the Jewish President, so of course.
LUZER TWERSKY
And they do have a Jewish president. And have a comedian.
Dr. SUZY
Putin is going in there after the drug addicts and the Nazi Jews.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, so what was interesting to me is the first time I was there was like a 1998 or ’99, and it was like at the time it was like a brand new country and it was really backwards. It was like going back to the shtetl anyway. I mean, the big cities were barely cities. I mean, Kiev was a dump. And then I went back in like 10 years later and I was like OK then you know they got buses now they have like Mercedes. They got some stuff, you know.
Dr. SUZY
Like they had horses and buggies before?
LUZER TWERSKY
Was a lot of that, but also like just a lot of like just very very very old Soviet cars which you still see to this day.
Dr. SUZY
Max likes old cars.
MAX
I don’t like Russian old cars.
LUZER TWERSKY
No, but you know when I came back, one of the things I wanted to do was, I was planning to make enough money so I can find myself a mint condition Lada and import it to the United States because I love those cars so much there I see them in Cuba as well and they’re indestructible.
MAX
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
LUZER TWERSKY
But anyway, I don’t want to talk about fun. So the next time I was there was like 2008 or 2009 and then again in 2021, right? And I go back in 2021 and it’s a completely different country. It’s full of a young, vibrant, creative population. Uh, they got a tech sector. They got big malls. They got five-star restaurants.
Like I stayed at this hotel, the Brewster Hotel in Kiev, in a very chill neighborhood called Podil which is right on the front line right in the neighborhood where there’s a lot of heavy fighting now in the city of Kiev right next door to where I was staying, in this really hip hotel with a rooftop bar. I would go up there every night and order fancy cocktails. It’s a vibrant young city. It’s like being in Williamsburg.
OK people think of Ukraine as like this backwards post-Soviet, you know wasteland with Chernobyl in it.
Dr. SUZY
Well, Chernobyl is there, yes?
LUZER TWERSKY
But look.
Dr. SUZY
And it was backward for a long time.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yes, but you go to the cities and like it’s not like that people have a…
Dr. SUZY
And by the way, I’m not so against backward. I think lots of forms of progress are not so great.
LUZER TWERSKY
And I’m just saying that. Like I’m saying, the image of people of it now, and I’m trying to get to a point here, so, it’s a vibrant, wonderful city where, like the day before I have all these friends over there and I go on Instagram and like, just friends having a drink and it’s, I mean they’re all going out there having coffee and like everything is completely normal and then BOOM- like a bomb, it’s gone. Not all of that is gone but the restaurant, the jobs, the city, that movement, everything, it’s gone. It’s just even if it’s not bombed, it’s just stopped.
Dr. SUZY
But it is bombed. There is bombing, and it is bad. I mean, everything stopped for all of us around the world when the pandemic started, so we get that. But this is worse.
LUZER TWERSKY
Right? It is very, very different, yeah?
Dr. SUZY
This is much worse. This is bombs falling. This isn’t just viruses attacking you, this is your neighbors.
LUZER TWERSKY
I’m not diminishing. I’m not diminishing that, but I’m also saying, like it’s very hard to imagine. I mean now with the pandemic a little bit easier to imagine it, but this is on a whole different scale and I’m talking to friends who are now trying to escape to Poland and like one of my very close friends who was my assistant on this film who I was you know, I really had a very close relationship with her ’cause she was with me this whole time during filming and between filming she was always there, and she’s trying to go to Poland, but she can’t. She doesn’t want to leave without her boyfriend, but her boyfriend can’t leave because he’s between the age of 18 and 60 and he asked to stay all men that age to stay and serve.
Dr. SUZY
Talk about a draft.
LUZER TWERSKY
It’s crazy, it’s fucking crazy, but the point I was trying to get with that whole history of my travels to Ukraine is Putin is now facing a problem. Putin’s view of Ukraine is what a lot of people’s view of Ukraine is. He really doesn’t understand what the country has become.
Dr. SUZY
Oh yeah.
LUZER TWERSKY
Actually, he didn’t realize what he was going to face. I think he’s prepared to drag this out for another week, and I do think that like there’s a, you know, like let’s not, let’s not get too excited. You know, this could get progressively worse.
Dr. SUZY
It could go in either direction.
LUZER TWERSKY
They could go in either direction. Things are very fluid, but the resistance that he’s facing is strong. It is something he did not expect. He’s also like you know, Ukraine is being helped with a lot. I don’t want to get too much into the warfare. We’re part of it because we are not that kind of show.
Dr. SUZY
And there is so much disinformation. There’s so much of the videos that showed the MIG downing Russians really was from a video game.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, ghost of Kiev.
Dr. SUZY
I heard that a Russian platoon had surrendered. I don’t know if that’s true. But that sounded good. I heard another really good rumor that one way the Ukrainian military is tracking the Russian military is through Grindr. So, Putin says there’s no gays in Russia, well, that’s ’cause they’re all in the army.
LUZER TWERSKY
That’s funny.
Dr. SUZY
And even if the Grindr story isn’t true, I guess everybody is doing disinformation and it’s a good piece for Putin. It could undermine the people’s mentality who are running this war.
LUZER TWERSKY
But I think that the Ukraine has some advantages here. Ukraine is in a very, very precarious situation here. There’s no, you know, there’s no underplaying it really, I mean Russia has shown itself to be quite more inept than we all thought.
Dr. SUZY
Russia has been inept for a while.
MAX
True, yeah.
LUZER TWERSKY
They’ve shown us to be quite a paper tiger. I mean everyone is saying like, well, they haven’t quite unleashed their cyber or the cyber warfare. They have. It’s not working.
Dr. SUZY
I’m happy about that.
LUZER TWERSKY
Oh good yeah. So, like the thing you should know about Ukraine is that he didn’t know and I think a lot of people don’t understand is why it’s not working. Is it? Ukrainians, like every time when we are talking about Ukraine, Ukraine is at war, but when I was there, they were already at war.
MAX
Right, right?
LUZER TWERSKY
Like the war was ongoing, they’ve been at war for eight years, so the young generation and a lot of people have been hammered into their heads of something called cyber hygiene.
MAX
Is right.
LUZER TWERSKY
Two factor authentication location services off. Careful who you trust. Careful which groups you’re in.
Dr. SUZY
There’s so many groups in Ukraine.
LUZER TWERSKY
Right now there’s like these Telegram groups over there. It’s Telegram. It’s all happening. So I’m very plugged into Telegram this whole time all day. This is where I get all my like, all my information. Twitter and Telegram is mostly where I get my information and I’m pretty plugged into some of the crew members who are on our film who are now serving the military who are feeding me stuff and telling me what’s going on and other sources.
Dr. SUZY
What can you tell us that they’re telling you?
LUZER TWERSKY
What? From like what’s happening on the ground?
Dr. SUZY
Anything. How do they feel? What’s happening on the ground? Have they seen Russians in person?
LUZER TWERSKY
Oh yeah, they’ve seen. Actually, we probably just got a Telegram. Yep, I just got a Telegram.
Dr. SUZY
Well, I don’t know if it’s classified.
MAX
A telegram.
LUZER TWERSKY
No, it’s not classified.
Dr. SUZY
OK, then read it.
MAX
I didn’t see anybody bring in the telegram, did you?
LUZER TWERSKY
It’s actually Finland, just closed its airspace to Russia.
Dr. SUZY
Ah yeah, I was just thinking about your other friends, The Luzers, in Norway, and that’s close to Finland.
LUZER TWERSKY
That’s a big deal.
Dr. SUZY
And Russia is threatening Finland. And of course, they are very inept at everything it seems. Sorry I love you guys, you Russians. But at the same time, you have to admit the Russians haven’t been too successful with much, except they really defeated the Nazis.
LUZER TWERSKY
OK, so I’ll give you that.
Dr. SUZY
That’s a big deal.
LUZER TWERSKY
I’ll give you a good example of how inept they are as you, as you all know, I love airplanes. I love watching airplanes, right? You all know that.
They had two transport planes. Two large military transport planes flying from Russia over Belarus into Ukraine on open fucking radar. Their transponders were on the entire world. These fractional parking and military movements, I mean the ineptitude, just the amateurishness of it.
MAX
They like to say they’re coming. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
LUZER TWERSKY
I mean, they’re flying in transport. They’re flying in paratroopers into Ukrainian airspace when they don’t have air superior. Not yet. They don’t have air dominance yet, and they’re flying in paratroopers and the Ukrainians are just shooting them out of the sky. Ukrainian yeah, they just shot an entire plane full of paratroopers out of the sky because of the troop carrier.
Dr. SUZY
Well, so that’s real. So there is a real fight going.
LUZER TWERSKY
There’s a real fight going on. There’s a lot of fights. The problem is there’s a lot of fights going on and a lot of people are focusing on Kiev. If people are forgetting what’s happening in Harkeev, people are forgetting what’s happening in the South like there’s a very important thing happening in the South. Russia is trying to create a land bridge, but Russia and Crimea, oK, so.
Dr. SUZY
Right.
LUZER TWERSKY
Sometimes they’re skipping over cities and sticking through the suburbs just to create a line that goes straight from Russia to Crimea and capture that entire waterfront.
Dr. SUZY
It makes sense they want a shortcut, but it’s kind of crazy in terms of, you know, invading a country.
LUZER TWERSKY
You know, so like, so in a lot of ways, right, in a lot of ways, they’re distracting you with here. Right, they’re distracting you with Kiev, so people focus on Kiev. And they’re not looking at what they are really doing, and you know what’s going to, what’s likely to happen.
Dr. SUZY
Right, maybe that’s what Putin is really after.
LUZER TWERSKY
It seems to me like because of the resistance and because of how you know the sanction, he’s going to stop this in a couple of days.
Dr. SUZY
Yeah, good.
LUZER TWERSKY
And then he’s going to say and then he’s going to freeze it, so he might have as long as he has to achieve some of his strategic goals. The rest of it. He’s the kind of guy where, like the rest of it, is just the rest of it is just fucking collateral damage. You know I was like, well, OK, well we got this. So what 5000 Russian troops died? Who gives a fart?
Dr. SUZY
Yeah, exactly. So, he’s mainly after some kind of land grab.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yes, he’s trying to rebuild. He needs to rebuild. Here’s another very important thing that people don’t know, right? One of the most important conditions to join NATO, yeah, is that the country who wants to join cannot have any active territorial disputes with another country. If you have any active territorial disputes with another country, you cannot join NATO. So, as long as Russia can keep UK main in territorial disputes, Ukraine cannot join NATO.
Dr. SUZY
Well, I’ve been finding out more about NATO because I guess I was under this delusion that NATO was kind of like this cool thing like UNICEF or the UN.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, NATO’s into some not nice things, right?
Dr. SUZY
NATO is a military Force that was sorta against the Nazis in the beginning, but very quickly went to being against the Soviet Union, and at first they wouldn’t let West Germany join or any of Germany. But then as soon as the Soviet Union says, well, “Why don’t we join? Hey, we want to fight Nazis too!” Then no, no, it’s not about fighting Nazis. It’s about fighting you. And so you can’t join. But yes, West Germany can join NATO. Everybody that wasn’t the USSR could join NATO, so…the USSR creates the Warsaw Pact, and then we have the Cold War. OK, that’s pretty much like a duopoly of power in the world. And then of course the Soviet Union collapses because, well, they don’t know how to make anything.
LUZER TWERSKY
But it’s very important, I think. I think that what sometimes goes missing from these conversations is that the people are like, well, why did we need NATO? Why? Why NATO? Why is NATO existing after 1991, right? Why do we still have it?
Dr. SUZY
That’s my question.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, there’s a lot of people that have that question right and that really is because of the posture of Russia at the time right? Correct? So after Yeltsin right, during the time of Yeltsin they were there. There were talks about Russia joining NATO, you know?
Dr. SUZY
Exactly, Yeltsin was our drinking buddy.
LUZER TWERSKY
Right, and Putin was watching that and he was like oh shit, oh no right OK?
Dr. SUZY
Putin was his Lieutenant and then took over.
LUZER TWERSKY
So right, so NATO during the 80s, like late during the 90s, I would say NATO during the 90s was a nothing burger. Right, it was about to be dissolved.
Dr. SUZY
Yeah, I don’t know why it was there
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, it was becoming obsolete, right and-
Dr. SUZY
Except the military industrial complexes of the world, but especially the United States needed something.
LUZER TWERSKY
Probably played a part, but then came 9/11 and that gave them something else to do.
Dr. SUZY
No, even before 9/11 they all ganged up on Saddam. In 1991 was invasion of Iraq when he went into Kuwait and then there was Yugoslavia. They all kind of ganged up on the Serbs, who were connected to the Russians.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, yeah. Right, right and all of that, see all of that showed Russia that it’s a good idea to be part of NATO. It’s going to need to be part of the free world. You’ve got this incredible protection. You get these incredible economic gains from it. So there was, there were good reasons for, you know, like for us to be friends with Russia. There was no reason we should. We should have been enemies with Russia if it wasn’t for Vladimir Putin, who came back and said like you know what this whole fucking thing is an embarrassment to the Russian Empire. That’s the issue with this. Is about pride.
Dr. SUZY
You know what I hate most about Putin? The thing that he rejects most about Russia is their attempt at socialism.
LUZER TWERSKY
Speaking about pride, yeah. I mean it failed, but it was an ideal. It was a beautiful ideal. Hey, it’s my ideal and he completely rejects that more than anybody, and he embraces the worst bullying parts of Russian history. The Tsar. He wants to be the Tsar. I guess he is the Tsar. Yeah, it’s selective history.
You know in that way, but you know it.
Dr. SUZY
But, a bully doesn’t come out of nowhere. And we’re part of this playground and we gotta learn to deal with this bully. Unless somebody takes him out in his inner circle.
LUZER TWERSKY
On the other hand, a lot of people I really care about are extremely scared. And extremely vulnerable and yeah, a lot of them have escaped to Lviv, some of them have made it to Poland. One of them is trying to make it to Slovakia.
Dr. SUZY
Anybody go to Moldova?
LUZER TWERSKY
No one I know is not alone.
Dr. SUZY
I just found out that one of my grandparents is from there and I had never even heard of that place. I always thought that this grandparent was from the Ukraine, because it’s so close and Moldova is so small. A nine story residential building in Buka was hit by a Russian strike. Casualties are unknown. Heavy fighting is ongoing in Buka, a city in Kiev Oblast about 30 kilometers from Kiev. So these are like underground reports by the minute.
Dr. SUZY
Yeah, that’s so sad.
LUZER TWERSKY
And yeah, like…
Dr. SUZY
…and so frustrating.
LUZER TWERSKY
And The thing is that it’s, it’s very difficult to explain to people what it feels like, and I think that’s why I always I always argue like Americans, the only the only people who think America is the greatest country on Earth haven’t been anywhere else.
LUZER TWERSKY
Because Americans, they don’t really, they don’t travel enough and they don’t go around these places and they don’t get familiar with these places.
Dr. SUZY
We love the South of France and Afghanistan. America is so plastic. Let’s just leave it at that.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, no, no, but you guys, you guys are well traveled and that makes a big difference and it makes a big difference to me because like people are talking about these areas and like these oh blasts and this and that it has like these faraway places like Falluja and you know, and Baghdad. And they have no personal relation with me, to me. Like, I look at these pictures, like wait a second I, but, I was just there. You know, I was chasing skirt around there, you know?
Dr. SUZY
Yeah, how is this skirt?
LUZER TWERSKY
I mean the skirt… You kidding me?
Dr. SUZY
Well, no, I’m asking.
LUZER TWERSKY
It was a fucking buffet.
Dr. SUZY
Really, in Kir? Is that village?
LUZER TWERSKY
Anywhere, anywhere. Especially if you are willing to pay for it.
Dr. SUZY
Oh hey nothing wrong with sex workers. So is sex work legal in Ukraine?
LUZER TWERSKY
No, but it’s tolerated. Yeah at this time.
Dr. SUZY
Is it legal in Russia?
LUZER TWERSKY
I don’t know, depends how rich you are, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
Probably everything does, but in Ukraine, tourists on a budget can find it too.
LUZER TWERSKY
It’s tolerated, it’s easy, it’s not.
MAX
Putin says they have the best hookers.
Dr. SUZY
That’s right, I guess it’s tolerated all over the place there. We have to deal with America’s puritanism.
MAX
Yeah, of course, yeah.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, and you know it’s…
Dr. SUZY
By the way, American Congresspeople: Please don’t support the Earn It Act.
LUZER TWERSKY
It’s, it’s tolerated and criminalized everywhere. Men are in charge. You know, I guess when women are in charge, it’s going to be not just tolerant. It’s going to be decriminalized and it’s gonna be better, but…
Dr. SUZY
Not always, you have to take a look at Iceland where women are in charge and have made most forms of sex work extremely illegal.
MAX
Wow, that’s too bad.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, but yeah, but like my point, I’m trying to make is, we’re not talking about it. To me, we’re not talking about a faraway place, and that’s also what I was talking about.
Dr. SUZY
I just want to add something regarding Iceland. In my State of the Sexual Union address, which you can now listen to, I talk about toxic femininity, which is when you take away work from other women like that. The opportunity to engage in consensual sex labor shouldn’t be taken away from us like that. Ladies, that’s toxic femininity. We also talk about toxic masculinity, which is worse, I guess, because it involves more killing. Putin is a great example actually of toxic masculinity.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he sure is. But the point I was trying to make is that these are not faraway places to me.
These are places that are personal to me, that I’ve spent a lot of time in. I spend good times in, you know I’ve had great sex in those in those hotels.
Dr. SUZY
How are the Ukrainian women? I guess you’re having sex with women, so, I know this is generalizing, maybe stereotyping – but how do you feel Ukrainian women compare with other women, say American?
LUZER TWERSKY
So in general, I think it’s a fair generalization to say that the majority of Ukrainian women are quite conservative in their in their mating rituals.
Dr. SUZY
And were you mostly seeing Christian Jewish other?
LUZER TWERSKY
You know, I don’t discriminate on any of those fronts? I only discriminate on the basis of vagina or no vagina.
Dr. SUZY
Yes, but I’m asking because you said they’re so conservative.
LUZER TWERSKY
No, but I’m saying like but the younger generation you do see, especially in the cities, in the progressive you know community. You see more a little more promiscuity? But not to a great extent. It’s still fairly conservative. Uhm, but you know, yeah you can. You know I’ve had, I’ve had, I’ve had all kinds of relationships over there.
Dr. SUZY
Interesting, well, the whole world has gotten more conservative.
MAX
Yeah, that’s true.
LUZER TWERSKY
Ukraine, Ukraine. Politics is very, very interesting in general. So, like in America, for example, you meet someone and you can very, you can pretty quickly tell which side of the aisle they’re on and where they stand on. Certain issues, like if you run into someone and they, they’re driving a truck in LA, you’re going to make certain assumptions about them right? And depending on what they wear and how they talk like it’s just like if they believe if they’re anti-abortion, they’re probably Republican and they probably have other things about it.
In Ukraine, Ukraine is not evenly divided along party lines, so you can meet people who are anti Zelensky and pro-choice and anti-gay at the same time. So like it’s not, it’s not very clearly divided and so…
Dr. SUZY
I think you can find that in America too.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, but over there it’s very, very, very pronounced. It’s very pronounced. You can meet someone who like, who like docked them for like a couple of days and you’re like, Oh my God, we, we agree on so much. They probably agree with me on a bunch of other things, and then you say something and they’re like, well, I don’t really think so. Like really, I would thought you would think so. Like no, I don’t think so. And he doesn’t and they don’t understand why you thought they would think, so it’s bad.
Dr. SUZY
Honestly, I’m finding that more and more among everybody. People that I used to think agreed with me about everything, well, now they don’t. Partly that’s ‘cause almost everybody in our circles kind of agreed that Trump was nuts for a while or certain people did. But now that he’s out, it’s like there’s a real variety of opinion on everything.
LUZER TWERSKY
No, but I I think I was projecting. I was projecting American division on other on other people, right? It’s like we’ve gotten so used to being so divided on everything and so like, so like, in our own uh, clicks or tribes that we don’t even realize how isolated we are, and then we when we see some when we see people with like who have diversity of opinions on, on, on many issues, it’s almost jarring. And so I think it was kind of like, maybe like, it’s not, maybe it’s not that weird, it’s just that we’ve gotten so used to it.
Dr. SUZY
We’re seeing listener comments from people writing about Ukrainian history. In the 9th century, the Grand Prince Vladimir ruled Kiev and Russe as Russia was called then. In Russian, his name is Vladimir. In Ukrainian it is Volodymyr. As fate would have it, these are the names of the current presidents of Russia and Ukraine. OK, well that’s an interesting factoid.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, I’m not very deeply familiar with the history of Ukraine. I learned , I mean, I’m obviously familiar with the history of my family Ukraine. My family goes back in Ukraine. To the you know 18th century.
Dr. SUZY
Right, and when was the Baal Shem Tov?
LUZER TWERSKY
Baal Shem Tov was 18th century.
Dr. SUZY
Oh, so your family goes back to him, maybe related to him.
LUZER TWERSKY
No, what I mean I am his grandson.
Dr. SUZY
You are definitely the Baal Shem Tov’s grandson?
LUZER TWERSKY
Oh yeah, yeah, I am like I am actually descended from the Baal Shem Tov in five different ways.
Dr. SUZY
Oh OK.
LUZER TWERSKY
I’m actually 10th generation of direct descendants.
Dr. SUZY
I am impressed. 10th generation.
LUZER TWERSKY
Hence direct descendant, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
OK, so much more than Grandfather.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Dr. SUZY
So you’re great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandson to the Baal Shem Tov, and he was in case you don’t know, a mystic, a Jewish Mystic who founded, so to say, Hasidism.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, the Hasidic movement.
Dr. SUZY
Yeah, yeah, Hasidic movement, and he was very into nature and he went from Ukraine to Poland.
LUZER TWERSKY
And I played him in the movie.
Dr. SUZY
And how was that?
LUZER TWERSKY
Well, it was an incredible experience, and that’s one of the reasons why I’m so attached to this issue of Ukraine, because like I had such an amazing experience filming there and working with the Ukrainian crew and the director and the cast and everyone, and I, I became so attached to that place. And of course there’s a lot of history for my family. Like very close when I was in Ternopil, I actually went there is like an hour away. There is the graveside of my one of my grandparents like and a couple generations back in a small town called Quanimashlam. So, like, there’s a lot of my family history in that place and I really had a great time there. LUZER TWERSKY
And it’s, it’s, it was interesting for me to come back.
LUZER TWERSKY
There as a as a secular person ’cause.
Dr. SUZY
Now, did the film crew know about you and your background when they cast you?
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
So were you cast partly because of who you are? Did that play a role?
LUZER TWERSKY
I, I think it probably played a role. Yeah I did.
Dr. SUZY
You auditioned though. Like any actor. You’re an award-winning actor, you act in many different things, but this particular thing is about your life. Yeah, yes, Yep yeah.
Dr. SUZY
It’s about your my ancestor
LUZER TWERSKY
My ancestor yeah, yes, yes, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
Your ancestor, who is part of your life because he’s part of all Hasidic Jews’ life and certainly your family’s life.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yes, yeah, I have his DNA in me.
Dr. SUZY
And you kind of separated from your family because they are so religious and that’s why you won the SUZY Award for “Funniest Fundamentalist Refugee”
LUZER TWERSKY
Yes so. I’m not saying anything funny tonight.
Dr. SUZY
No, no. But that was funny. It’s hard to be funny about terror without sounding obnoxious. There is gallows humor, though.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, but I I’ll tell you like I, I was talking to the director, director of this film that I just did. The film is called “Dovbush” and whoever is into the Ukrainian history would know about Dovbush because Dovbush is a big part of Ukrainian history. Oh shit, what was I going to say?
Dr. SUZY
Well, you were going to say that gallows humor maybe doesn’t have its place in a situation like this, especially if you’re in the middle of it, which I would say too actually.
LUZER TWERSKY
Oh so I was. So I was talking to the director’s daughter about this today because she is really terrified and like, they’re, they’re, they’re they’re very, they’re big. They’re very patriotic, very patriotic family, and the film is a very patriotic film. They’re very like Ukrainian nationalist. People and and yeah, she was in no mood for my humor and she is someone who like has a very, very dark sense of humor and she is she was not in the mood for jokes.
Dr. SUZY
No right.
LUZER TWERSKY
People like all my friends who know me for my gallows humor, and they’re known for their very dark humor. They are not laughing. This is not funny to anyone in that country. It’s extremely serious. I mean like Putin is a vicious uh, sadistic killer. Like, like you do not want to be on the receiving end of it even if you like so far you’re winning.
Dr. SUZY
Right, and they are. They’re certainly winning in the Court of public opinion and they’re holding on to their territory.
LUZER TWERSKY
Well, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
And you know some of these Russian soldiers. I think they are saying that they didn’t know this was their assignment and there might be some defections. Who knows?
LUZER TWERSKY
Well, there is a lot of death.
Dr. SUZY
There’s certainly a lot of deaths and when the body bags come home, that’s often a problem.
LUZER TWERSKY
They’re not. They’re not picking them up.
MAX
He’s also, he’s also a a serial killer. Besides sending his armies to the disaster, he’s also had individually had a few people knocked off.
Dr. SUZY
Yes, yes, this is the guy that our man Trumpenstein calls a “genius”
MAX
From what I understand.
Dr. SUZY
He’s a bully! And see, Trump is also a bully, and that’s why he calls him a “genius” because he feels that Putin’s Rape of Ukraine is a bully move.
Dr. SUZY
Even though usually bullies are the opposite of geniuses. That’s why they’re bullies. Because they don’t get their way through diplomacy and being thoughtful. So they try to get their way through brute force. It’s the opposite of the Bonobo Way.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, but it’s not you know, like I was saying it’s it’s not funny. It’s not funny to people ’cause like even if you’re winning so far like you do not want to be on the receiving end of this insane, insane maniacs ambitions like you know he’s like he’s, he’s, he’s using these the kind of weapons that are that that you can’t control where they land, but they carry the kind of stuff like that Hamas uses, right?
Dr. SUZY
Right?
LUZER TWERSKY
Like Hezbollah, uses rockets which you can’t control you.
Dr. SUZY
We can’t control our drones either.
LUZER TWERSKY
Shoot it and like. We can we just control, we control them badly. That’s the problem.
MAX
That’s right.
Dr. SUZY
Always hitting the wrong targets.
LUZER TWERSKY
Well, it’s very different than not being able to control it.
Dr. SUZY
Well, just since we’re on the subject of us, I will say that Jux Lii, our friend who’s in one of our pictures with Abby Martin and you, says that “NATO sounds like a military insurance company.” Sorry if that’s kind of funny, but it’s also kind of true.
LUZER TWERSKY
It’s very, very true and you know this this. This is where it gets this is where it gets interesting. So Trump was actually right about something in terms of NATO. Right, but Trump’s argument was like NATO is an insurance company and that’s our insurance company and people aren’t paying the premiums. That was his argument.
Dr. SUZY
A military insurance company.
LUZER TWERSKY
Right and, and, he wouldn’t because he was trying to get to be friends with Russia. He wanted to get rid of NATO. He was in bed with Russia, and Russia’s interest was anti NATO and he was anti NATO because whatever but it was right about the idea that like it’s, it was kind of like framing like he didn’t frame it like that because he doesn’t speak as intelligently as me but, that’s really what it is. It’s an insurance policy where where the where, the where the you know, the insurance. The policyholders weren’t paying their premiums.
Dr. SUZY
Well right they weren’t. And the US pro-military establishment didn’t seem to care. A lot of the US establishment said it was treasonous of Trump to say that. Because they saw NATO like a gang with the US as the leader of the gang. And these smaller countries are the other people in the gang. And you can’t expect them to all pay up.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, and Jux is right.
Dr. SUZY
They’re paying with their might and their loyalty and we have an enemy. And I’m certainly with all of you and with your friends in Ukraine that Putin is just a horrible bully and must be stopped. But I think we get into trouble if we don’t see how we helped the bully along.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah
Dr. SUZY
Because we have to stop him. Somebody has to stop him. Best the Russians themselves.
LUZER TWERSKY
That’s I mean, that’s, that’s, this is where it gets complicated when it comes to intervention, right? And I think that that there’s legitimate arguments to be made against NATO. There’s legitimate arguments to be made against American interventions in history and whatever in recent history, even. But the reality that we are sitting here in a free country, speaking our minds fairly freely. Besides the oversight of Arcadia and … And yeah.
Dr. SUZY
We call the Arcadia City Council the Politburo because we compare them to these Russian organizations.
LUZER TWERSKY
Right?
Dr. SUZY
’cause of course the Russians are much more censorious.
LUZER TWERSKY
Right, but we live, but we’ve been living in this country, in, in, in, in, relatively relative peace for a very long time. And we and and we fail to appreciate the apparatus that we criticize that is at least contributing to the ability for us to have been living last hundred almost 100 years. The way we have us in Europe. In relative peace, we fail to appreciate that privilege and we fail to appreciate the apparatus that is, yes, the military industrial complex which does which does horrible things too. But also has kept a peace in the world to a certain extent, for quite for longest time in history.
Dr. SUZY
I could argue with you about that, but I’ll let you continue, though I am certainly not impressed with the peacekeeping of the military.
MAX
Yep.
LUZER TWERSKY
Well, I’m saying that we are enjoying. I’m not saying everyone else in the world is enjoying it. I’m not making that argument.
Dr. SUZY
Well, we’re all one world. And doesn’t Putin and what’s happening now make us realize that? We are all against what he’s doing. Everyone except maybe a few people in Russia. But Putin has… guess what?
LUZER TWERSKY
Nuclear weapons, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
Exactly,. Now, that is something that makes us remember we are all one.
LUZER TWERSKY
Exactly, but I was.
Dr. SUZY
We are all connected. He is our brother. We have to deal with him.
LUZER TWERSKY
Right, so here are the things. So here’s the thing. So here the point I’m trying to make. The point I’m trying to make here is this is that, that we don’t want to live in a world full of Putin’s? We don’t want that. We don’t want to live in a world of XI Jinping’s and Putin’s and Kim Jong.
Dr. SUZY
Oh God no.
LUZER TWERSKY
And maduros and cast, and whatever in Trump’s.
Dr. SUZY
Maduro’s not so bad. But Trump no.
LUZER TWERSKY
We don’t want that right? And the reality is, we live in relative wealth in this country, and a lot of the countries that we ally with also live in relative wealth. And if other countries want to share that wealth. The reason we can share this wealth is because we have this peace and trade going on between it. That’s why we have that. That is our strength, right? And if Russia doesn’t want to play that game, then they cannot be a part of that civilization. Right, so I think that’s very important because we want to live in a world that is not controlled by people like that. And if he wants to live in a world that’s controlled like that, then he can do it on his fucking own, not in our banks. Not in our economy, not with our military equipment. Nothing with us. He can do it with North Korea. And that’s it. And they can kiss each others asses all day long and be impoverished nations.
Dr. SUZY
And China.
LUZER TWERSKY
Well, China, we don’t know yet, right? China is trying to toe the line right?
Dr. SUZY
I wonder how many of these places will toe the line, because they get no goods from Russia. But, they do get gas. Gas baby.
LUZER TWERSKY
But this Europe doesn’t. Europe only needs Russian gas. Now they don’t really need it forever. That’s the.. I’ll tell you something. Watch the Russian markets on Monday morning.
Dr. SUZY
Oh, it’s already terrible for them.
LUZER TWERSKY
The ruble is going to be worthless Monday morning, their central Bank is sanctioned.
Dr. SUZY
It’s already worthless. I’m just wondering how long it’s going to last.
LUZER TWERSKY
They can’t. They can’t. The Central bank is sanctioned. They can’t back up their money, their money is only worth what they have right now. That is, all their money is worth.
MAX
Good and they just got kicked off of Swift.
LUZER TWERSKY
The old part, yeah, partially, partially so, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
Oh good. OK.
MAX
Not all but.
Dr. SUZY
Well, I think it’s all good to fight him economically.
LUZER TWERSKY
Visa cards don’t work in Russia.
MAX
But then let me ask you something. This guy has a vision of being this ruler and now of the Russian empire. And now somehow it’s all gotten very rotten and bad, and he has troops which have been hearing this in various places in Chernobyl.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yep, in Georgia.
MAX
Yeah, no answer, no well yeah, with missiles pointed towards the buried nuclear.
Dr. SUZY
Chernobyl specifically, where the nuclear power plant is it’s all they have to do.
MAX
If they.
Dr. SUZY
They don’t even need their own nuclear weapons.
MAX
It couldn’t be an accident. You can be an accident that releases. The reality is that like he’s going, he’s going.
LUZER TWERSKY
He’s going to come like, Yep, this and like this. The thing about sanctions as they take a little bit longer than bombs, but it’s going to take these sanctions are so severe that in about 30 days the Russian economy is going to start collapsing.
MAX
You know, I get that I get that.
LUZER TWERSKY
Like on a massive scale, like on a massive scale.
Dr. SUZY
Right?
LUZER TWERSKY
OK, he doesn’t like he doesn’t have the ammo to sustain the war for that long. He doesn’t have the money to sustain. It costs $20 billion a day. This war? OK, he doesn’t have the money. He he’s not going to be able to do anything. Russian citizens, you know Russian citizens can’t use their their debit cards and their credit cards.
MAX
I know.
LUZER TWERSKY
Visa and MasterCard don’t work anymore.
MAX
Right, right?
LUZER TWERSKY
You know, like this is not going to be sustainable.
Dr. SUZY
Well, here’s the picture of us with Abby Martin and Max and you and Jux Lii.
LUZER TWERSKY
Got it.
Dr. SUZY
And there’s Mike Prysner, who bravely went to protest George W Bush, who, if you were an Afghan or an Iraqi, was just as crazy as Putin, which isn’t really crazy-crazy, except for in that sociopathic way that some of our leaders are.
LUZER TWERSKY
What happened to Abby Martin wait, wait?
Dr. SUZY
He protested Bush right in front of him.
LUZER TWERSKY
So Abby Martin works for Venezuela now.
Dr. SUZY
Oh, maybe. She doesn’t work for Russia anymore, that’s for sure.
MAX
Yeah, I think so.
Dr. SUZY
And she didn’t when she was on our show, but maybe she does have some Venezuelan backing. She certainly is doing a lot of speaking out and documentaries about Gaza, so there’s that.
MAX
Uh, somebody, as I said this is you’re always using for most yeah yeah.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yes, she’s cute. She’s still married to Mike?
Dr. SUZY
Yes, and Mike just did this great protest in front of Bush. He said you killed my friends. He served in the Iraq War and he spoke out very eloquently about Bush’s acts of senseless death and destruction of course, it makes a lot of “sense” to the Military Industrial Complex, but the invasion of Iraq was as insane as Putin’s invasion, except it wasn’t so close to us. We kept it at arm’s length. Still do. Well, there was there was one.
LUZER TWERSKY
There was one big difference and I think that I think it it I I’m not going to try. I’m going to try to justify the Iraq war here, but I do want to point out. One difference, yes. Vladimir Zolensky was democratically elected. Saddam Hussein was a vicious, brutal, murderous dictator.
Dr. SUZY
I’ll give you that, OK.
LUZER TWERSKY
OK.
Dr. SUZY
But still invasion, it’s always wrong. I called that the Rape of Iraq, and I call this the Rape of Ukraine. It’s not going to end Ukraine. Well, maybe in some ways. But it’s a rape, its a violation.
MAX
They’re in your house, they’re in your home.
Dr. SUZY
In your body.
MAX
And in your body, right.
Dr. SUZY
In your apartment building.
MAX
You’re physically, you’re physically.
Dr. SUZY
In your dead nuclear power plant.
MAX
If you don’t pay attention to them, you’re out for some serious beatings.
LUZER TWERSKY
Update, update from Ukraine. Ukraine Air defense shot down Cruise missile launched at Kiev. According to Commander in Chief, the missile was launched from Belarus. And according to the office, the Russian Russian minister arrived in Belarus, ready to talk to Ukraine. And this is the cynicism, here is just astonishing, thinking that that Ukraine is going to send someone to have peace talks with Russia in Belarus. Which is just, it’s just ridiculous. You know, wow. Yeah, but.
Dr. SUZY
OK.
LUZER TWERSKY
That’s the update, I’m just, I’m, I’m just update I’m just. Telling you what I did.
MAX
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is this is coming here.
Dr. SUZY
This is great. I mean, just to be in touch with these news bulletins from the ground. Because we all have Ukraine on the brain right now, we’re all going insane from Ukraine, and this is the Ukraine Love Train.
This is FDR, which stands for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who had his faults, as well all do, and we’re not saying that Ukraine is totally innocent of everything, but they no not deserve Putin’s invasion at all, and we’re on the Ukraine Love Train… and we are FDR and Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of our best presidents and F.D.R. also stands for “Fuck Da Rich.” Speaking of which, I wonder if Putin is getting any right now. I don’t think so at all.
LUZER TWERSKY
I don’t think so. You know I have a, I have a suggestion. I think we should rename the show LBJ. Because I, I’ve realized lately I think LBJ got a bad rap because of it because of Vietnam.
Dr. SUZY
You think?
MAX
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
You like the way he picked up his dogs by their ears?
LUZER TWERSKY
No, I just the reality is that if you think of you know he had he lives in.
Dr. SUZY
LBJ did good for the Civil Rights Movement.
LUZER TWERSKY
He was the most successful president ever. He passed 89 bills. Now like he passed a ton like Medicare, Medicaid, huge progressive show, the Great Society, yeah, but like he was he was a weirdo crazy.
Dr. SUZY
You like how he would give interviews while he was on the toilet?
LUZER TWERSKY
Guy and he gets a bad rap for for Vietnam but yeah no it did.
Dr. SUZY
Well, Vietnam sucked. War sucks, you know, so you really should get a bad rap for waging war.
LUZER TWERSKY
No worse off.
Dr. SUZY
I’m sorry, but all his other good qualities don’t make up for that war.
LUZER TWERSKY
I know. He’s got two other good qualities about all the progressive bills that he passed. And the other thing, he’s got a name with BJ in it. L-BJ, you know? I mean that’s good.
Dr. SUZY
Hahaha
LUZER TWERSKY
He’s got a BJ in his name.
Dr. SUZY
Fun, funny, but he did that war. FDR was also there for a war, except he was a socialist and we are too.
LUZER TWERSKY
I mean lickety blowjob.
Dr. SUZY
They both got blowjobs and and FDR got his from a wheelchair.
LUZER TWERSKY
What about the liquid?
Dr. SUZY
So F.D.R. is also pro-disabled people.
LUZER TWERSKY
Putin is not getting pussy.
Dr. SUZY
No, that’s what he needs.
LUZER TWERSKY
That he needs to get laid?
Dr. SUZY
Somebody should do that. Somebody’s got to go in there and do the dirty for the world. They did this video. This actress was this silly video that must have made Gal Gadot very happy for not having the silliest video on the Internet anymore. And it’s all “If I were your mother, Vladimir, I would hug you. I would love you. I know you haven’t been loved.” And maybe she’s right, but it still was very silly and there’s a little bit of controversy about who his mother was and his whole background is very shady. This is definitely an abused hurt boy in Putin and some of us know about how hurt he was as a young man at the Fall of the Wall in Berlin.
LUZER TWERSKY
But I just, I mean, it’s just awful to think of of living in a world where a person like that has that kind of power. And I, I, I, I don’t, I, I, I don’t understand our and I don’t understand and I don’t understand how how anyone could think that’s a good idea.
Dr. SUZY
Unfortunately, there’s a lot of hurt people like that. And they tend to want power. This one just went off his rocker. It’s not like I’m saying it’s equivalent with George W Bush’s disastrous Rape of Iraq, but there are similarities. And there should be checks and balances in our world, but no, we NATO sort of pushed him I believe the military industrial complexes of the world want to sell a lot of weapons. They love it, they love war and they all pushed him, even Biden. We’re all one folks. He’s got some bombs and we don’t want those Russian nuclear submarines aiming them at Los Angeles.
MAX
Yeah, they’re right off here on the coast of LA.
LUZER TWERSKY
A yeah, I don’t , I don’t need that shit in my life.
Dr. SUZY
By the way, I want to give some credit to Obama.
LUZER TWERSKY
Right?
Dr. SUZY
You’re not going to like this, Luzer, but well, I don’t know how you feel.
MAX
’cause she said so.
Dr. SUZY
But right, right after the coup, which of course I don’t want to give him credit for ’cause it was kind of a nasty business that involved some Nazis and it gives Putin some leverage to say, there are “Nazis” in charge of Ukraine, but there are not Nazis in charge, not now. But there were Nazis that did the coup and the U.S. supported it. Victoria Nuland did. But Obama would not sell arms to Ukraine. He didn’t do that. And Trump for all of his cock-sucking of Putin. He sold arms to Ukraine and for all of his trying to get Zelensky to be a spy on Biden. He sold arms to Ukraine and Biden increased it. And what were we doing? Why bait a bulldog? Now we HAVE to GIVE arms to Ukraine.
LUZER TWERSKY
Well, first of all, Trump sold weapons to.
LUZER TWERSKY
Anyone who would buy it.
Dr. SUZY
Right, he was just a sucker for selling things, and weapons are what we sell even to the Saudis who take people apart with bone saws.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah
Dr. SUZY
So Putin blew a gasket and it will probably blow up in his face. I kind of hope that it does, except I don’t want it to blow up in all of our faces or in other innocent faces.
LUZER TWERSKY
Well, it’s going to. It’s going to.
MAX
What?
LUZER TWERSKY
It’s going to mildly blow up in all of our faces. Here is our problem too, yes?
MAX
Yes.
Dr. SUZY
We are one.
LUZER TWERSKY
World order is our problem OK?
MAX
World odor is our problem.
Dr. SUZY
That’s why I say “Be Bonobo.” We have to understand that we are together and we have to share.
LUZER TWERSKY
What Max.
MAX
Yeah, go ahead because I forgot.
Dr. SUZY
We all forgot.
MAX
I’m very stoned.
LUZER TWERSKY
I’m not really. I’m not really patriot, I’m paid I’m, I’m, I’m patriotic, I’m patriotic in my own way I’m not like one of those people who are like just the blindly patriotic. I think, I think what makes America great is the fact that the I always like to think about my people that Hasidic Jews. I like that America is a place. It goes, you know what you want to wear, 5 layers of clothing in 95 degree NYC humidity weather go right ahead. This is the kind of country where you are allowed to do that. If that is your religion. If your religion is asking you to sweat.
MAX
Yeah, right?
LUZER TWERSKY
Didn’t you sweat? Not my problem. It’s your sweat and I think that makes this country great. It is a free. Or the country?
Dr. SUZY
Well, many reactionaries want to take things away from us. The Patriot Act takes a lot away from us. They’re banning books in libraries and they’re banning a woman’s right to choose abortion.
LUZER TWERSKY
I’m not saying it’s perfect. I’m not saying it’s perfect.
Dr. SUZY
They’re banning kids’ rights to express about their transgender feelings.
LUZER TWERSKY
Right, but the people. But the people still have a certain control over who is in government
Dr. SUZY
Well, yes, much more control than Russians.
LUZER TWERSKY
Right, so like we live in a fairly free country with fairly clearly defined laws
Dr. SUZY
There you go. I’m glad you got those, you know qualifiers in there.
LUZER TWERSKY
No, I said uh, fairly frequently with it, with a fairly clear quote, with a fairly, fairly clear outline of laws and, and it’s, it’s, it’s, it’s, It’s not a ..It’s not a corrupt government, it is a government that is not designed to work for the working class. But it isn’t, it doesn’t, it doesn’t mean it’s completely corrupt. There’s never been corrupt and and stacked. You know, so we have a ways to go. We have things we have to fix but..
Dr. SUZY
Well, so far we don’t have a dictatorship where we don’t have like this election thing. But we could be on our way to it folks. So watch out for that. This is why I want to find out Putin’s reasons. I want to take responsibility, as we all should, for somehow fostering conditions for his terrible lethal blunder. As we all should, for his terrible lethal blunder. But there are people in this country, in America, that really like him for this.
MAX
Sure, sure sure the Right Wing.
Dr. SUZY
They think Putin is great and they are in charge of the Right Wing.
MAX
The Right Wing movement is everywhere to overthrow the the liberal and all of the progress and all of the things that a lot of us have gone to prison for, and have gotten beaten on the head for.
LUZER TWERSKY
Max, I have some bad news for you as a journalist. You’re not going to like this. Two Danish journalists have been shot.
MAX
Ah yeah, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
Oh no.
LUZER TWERSKY
Steven Weichert and Emil Nicholson were injured by gunfire in Sumioblast town, but are now safe and receiving treatment in hospital.
Dr. SUZY
OK.
LUZER TWERSKY
I don’t know if you guys are interested but Sumioblast is on the border of in the North East of Ukraine on the border on the border of Russia and overnight and throughout the day, that city has been contested. There’s been heavy fighting going on in that city, and I know people like think about Kiev, Kiev, Kiev. If they capture, if they capture that whole Sumioblast, which is like a county. If they capture the whole county, they just got a whole another part of Ukraine in Russian. So that it, it’s there’s a lot of heavy fighting over there, and it seems like 2 journalists have. Unfortunately, we’ve been covering it. Which is one of the reasons we know that these things are happening. Have been injured, unfortunately.
Dr. SUZY
Journalists are often injured in war lately. Because war is everywhere and anywhere. You know, just, they don’t confine it. It’s not like they go to a battlefield and shoot each other. The battlefield is the whole country, and wherever the journalists are, wherever anybody is, they could be shot or bombed.
MAX
Can I just say, what if Putin Is the pilot of an airplane with 400 lives on it and decides to commit suicide as his final act?
Dr. SUZY
Almost like that’s what he’s doing.
LUZER TWERSKY
No, I don’t want to, I actually. Don’t want him to commit suicide, I think.
MAX
I’m just saying, what if he does and takes us with him?
LUZER TWERSKY
Oh
Dr. SUZY
Yes, well, that’s why we can’t put him in a corner really.
MAX
Right.
Dr. SUZY
We’ll have to treat him like a human being, a hurt human being. But the the support he’s getting in this country is not treating him like a hurt human being.
MAX
Yeah
Dr. SUZY
They’re treating him like he’s a hero.
LUZER TWERSKY
I think.
Dr. SUZY
Listen at CPAC right now, it’s going on. The Republicans are drinking their premium Russian vodka and they’re kind of going, “Hey he’s a genius. He’s smart.” It’s disgusting. Some are not sure whether they support him, but they’ve all gotten paid by Russia. A lot of them went there for vacations.
LUZER TWERSKY
You know? A lot of people, on the other hand, on the other side, believe that this is going to be the end of Putin and I think that’s a lot of I mean it, could it?
MAX
Could well be.
Dr. SUZY
That would be good.
LUZER TWERSKY
Be, I think it could well be, but on the other hand I I think people underestimate his brutality. Uh, I think people underestimate how far he’s willing to go to capture Ukraine. And I think that will show you how far he’s going to be willing to go to suppress protests in his own country at any kind of coup or rousting of him? He’s going to. He doesn’t care about the lives of people.
Dr. SUZY
Yes, that’s very worrisome, and that’s what I mean when I say that Putin rejects the best part of the Soviet Union, which was that it was founded for socialism, for the people. Even our leaders who are corrupt at least make a pretense at caring about people.
LUZER TWERSKY
His coldness. His soldiers are disposable, his soldier that is, supposedly they are running. They are. They are running the worst at the worst ground operation you’ve ever seen, just from a tactical perspective. Their supply lines are completely fucked OK, and there’s I think there’s a there’s a famous quote from like an American general who said either you control the supply lines or the supply lines control you.
Dr. SUZY
Well, Putin is sounding like the Tsar, and you know what they did with the Tsar.
LUZER TWERSKY
He’s, he’s, he’s doing an awful job, and so there’s, there’s a very good positive and people a lot of his soldiers are dying and they don’t know what they’re doing there. They have no idea what’s going on, and he doesn’t give a shit.
Dr. SUZY
And their families must have no idea what’s going on.
LUZER TWERSKY
I’ll tell you something else: There’s a hotline in Ukraine for Russian families to claim their loved ones’ bodies. Russia isn’t claiming them. They have thousands of Russian bodies piling up in Ukraine and nothing to do with them.
Dr. SUZY
I kind of don’t see this as Russia’s fault. I see it as Putin’s fault, along with the people around him.
LUZER TWERSKY
No, but I’m saying to the Russians so the Ukrainians set up a hotline for Russian families to find the bodies of their loved ones. This is how brutal this guy is. He doesn’t care about his soldiers. He doesn’t care about people.
Dr. SUZY
Wow, yeah. And these are cousins, these people.
LUZER TWERSKY
And about anything.
MAX
Is there any leader. Democratic or otherwise. Who cares for his soldiers?
Dr. SUZY
Well, that’s a good question. Some of them pretend.
LUZER TWERSKY
To, let’s be honest, next no one cares. No Max, the reality is no one cares about anyone.
MAX
Correct, right?
Dr. SUZY
How could you even care about soldiers when you’re sending them off to die?
LUZER TWERSKY
No, I’m saying no one cares about anyone.
Dr. SUZY
Oh, now that’s not true Luzer.
LUZER TWERSKY
But most.
Dr. SUZY
People do care about people.
LUZER TWERSKY
They don’t, but most are able to pretend.
Dr. SUZY
That’s not true.
LUZER TWERSKY
Most people, I think most people are good enough to at least pretend.
Dr. SUZY
People care about people that mean something to them.
LUZER TWERSKY
I know, but, but, but the rest of them, the rest of them are, are empathetic enough to pretend.
Dr. SUZY
Or actually, just like you said, you know when you told Max about the journalist he cares because he’s a journalist because we care when we feel that feeling empathy, of closeness. We’re trying to emphasize it against caring in a Bonobo Way as opposed to Capitalism which emphasizes competition.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah, right.
MAX
I care. I care because I’ve had handcuffs behind me because I was on cement floors all because I showed breasts and other body parts in my magazines that somehow are obscene and that brought physical violence, just like is going on over there.
Dr. SUZY
Yeah.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yes.
MAX
Yeah, I feel it.
Dr. SUZY
The body is so delicate, when death happens to you, it might not be glamorous, but that’s all you got. You know might not be glamorous, but it’s all you got.
MAX
That’s it.
Dr. SUZY
And so we feel for those journalists and we feel for all those people in Ukraine. And we feel for the Russian soldiers who don’t know what they’re doing. I don’t think very many of them do.
LUZER TWERSKY
And I think the Ukrainian public is a is defending democracy, they’re defending the free world. They’re fighting for all of our freedoms I think, and I think it’s a, uh, I am personally very inspired by regular people who I worked on a set with who are like grips and electricians and prop designers and prop masters and truck drivers and all of them are like, “Fuck no, I’m not living under Putin.” You know I’m not even living under a puppet regime of Putin. There’s absolutely no chance I’m living under that. I will do everything I can.
Dr. SUZY
Right, that would be like him taking over Los Angeles. Be like him taking over Los Angeles. \
LUZER TWERSKY
Right?
Dr. SUZY
Almost not quite, but.
LUZER TWERSKY
Yeah no. It’s almost like that people have been living in a certain with a certain amount of.
Dr. SUZY
Maybe Oklahoma City.
LUZER TWERSKY
People have been living with a certain amount of freedom, sure, and metropolitan life that they’re not just fucking willing to give up, you know and, and, and you know the the old school Ukrainian and I guess maybe Russia. Roots of them are coming out. Their anger is coming out. People are very angry. Some people in my group are referring to Russian soldiers as “pigs.” I get photos of of dead Russian bodies all day long.
Dr. SUZY
Well, that’s what war does to you. They’re rapists. It’s the Rape of Ukraine.
LUZER TWERSKY
And because because you gotta understand. Like if someone comes into your neighborhood and starts shooting rockets, see how fast that fucking changes you. You change it. Yes, you change as a person.
Dr. SUZY
Of course.
LUZER TWERSKY
Like if someone comes into your neighborhood with bombs and planes and tanks and artillery and fucks with your shit and kills your family. Like that it changes you, it changes you. They want to take away everything you have everything to take for granted, you’ve enjoyed everything, you’ve built, everything you’ve thought you’ve taken for granted like your money, your investments, your bank account, your future, your your real estate, your your career, your friends, your university, your bars or restaurants, your your way of life. That’s that’s not going to fly.
MAX
Got 3 minutes.
Dr. SUZY
Yeah, we’ve only got a few minutes and.
LUZER TWERSKY
So I’m I’m just gonna finish this thought, okay?
MAX
Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
LUZER TWERSKY
So you have regular people people like me and you and everybody else, artists and theater directors and and and everybody is is taking up arms and fighting this thing and it’s, it’s really it’s, it’s, it’s I think it’s admirable they’re fighting for freedom they’re fighting for self-determination. It’s something that I can personally very much relate to as someone who escaped the cult, you know.
Dr. SUZY
Yeah, well I relate to that and I certainly feel solidarity with. Standing up against Putin and I feel solidarity with the Russians – I mean with the Ukrainians. And actually I do with the Russian anti-war protesters, and with a lot of the Russian people, that might be afraid to protest, but that do not like what is going on. Please do what you can is all I can say.
LUZER TWERSKY
And I’m going to end this segment with one more piece of breaking news, which is not good news because we’re talking about nuclear war.
Dr. SUZY
Oh no.
LUZER TWERSKY
This is breaking news. Of Kiev, a referendum on constitutional amendments in Belarus held today on February 27, is set to allow Russia to place nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus. The vote will take place amid the Russian military presence in Belarus, which is which it uses to attack Ukraine from the north.
Dr. SUZY
Well, we’ve been talking about nuclear weapons.
LUZER TWERSKY
Things are not going well.
Dr. SUZY
They exist, and now they’re being moved to a more advantageous position for blowing up big portions of life. One of our placards here is “Drop Bras Not Bombs.”
MAX
Who was the artist that was with the KGB? Yes, yeah I’m very stoned save to forgive me that I don’t remember your name and the one that did this statue. The bust of you.
Dr. SUZY
Oh, uh Yossi.
MAX
Yossi, yeah, Yossi
Dr. SUZY
Hi there, Yossi
MAX
Yeah, Yossi in the KGB
Dr. SUZY
Well, he was in the KGB and he cleared.
MAX
Yeah, but he was saying you know when he would talk about it is that’s what this is. What they’re going to do.
Dr. SUZY
Or did he say he was in the KGB or he was in the Israeli Massad? Or both? Well, he was in Russia, I think. He was always changing whatever he was saying, but he was cool.
MAX
One way or the other, yeah.
Dr. SUZY
Anyway, he’s a great sculptor and he did a beautiful bust of me. Anyway Yossi, I hope your friends are OK, and please tell them to protest the war. Because something’s gotta give, You gotta try. You gotta protest. You gotta get out into the street just like Vladimir Lenin took the Russian workers out into the street to protest their Tsar. The people of Russia have got to come out.
MAX
Yeah
LUZER TWERSKY
How much time do we have?
MAX
We’re we’re one minute over.
LUZER TWERSKY
I have a good piece of breaking news OK go.
Dr. SUZY
OK.
LUZER TWERSKY
Ahead piece of good breaking news as of two hours ago there were Russian tanks in Kharkiv which is the second largest city after Kiev, and and as of four minutes ago. At least half of Russian forces in Kharkiv are destroyed, so progress.
Dr. SUZY
OK, and we know this is true. This is not disinformation.
LUZER TWERSKY
Nope, this is coming straight from the ground.
Dr. SUZY
The horse’s mouth. The Ukrainian texts. Ok, well that’s encouraging. Although this is not a war-watching show, we’ve been war-watching tonight.
LUZER TWERSKY
Well, that’s why you brought me on, right? Because I know what’s going on in Ukraine.
Dr. SUZY
Yes, we wanted to know more about what’s really going on because we have had a pain in our brain from Ukraine. This is the Ukraine Love Train. We want to support Ukraine but we want to understand it and we also want to understand the bad guy, the archvillain, the bully. Because when you’ve got an archvillain like that, and you make him more and more of an archvillain and less and less of a human being, that’s what he acts like, which he is now, I know. But he can get worse. It can get a lot worse.
So… Make Kink Not War.
MAX
OK.
Dr. SUZY
So where are we? One more statement and say goodbye?
MAX
No goodbye.
LUZER TWERSKY
I have one more statement.
Dr. SUZY
A quick statement, not a report.
LUZER TWERSKY
Now a quick statement to illustrate the difference of how life was before the war and after the war on a certain date. The date the war started. My telegram channel where I get updates on the availability of sex workers in Ukraine stopped reporting.
Dr. SUZY
Wow, that is sad, I have to say.
MAX
All the hookers left.
LUZER TWERSKY
That’s how you know life is changed.
Dr. SUZY
How can you make love if all the channels are gone?
LUZER TWERSKY
You can’t, can’t even buy pussy.
Dr. SUZY
What do you do? Wow.
MAX
We we gotta go on that serious note.
Dr. SUZY
Yes, so we’ve got to keep the channels open. We have to work together and protest together and try as people of the world to stop World War 3 from rolling into our lives, every single life on Earth. So, make like bonobos, not baboons. Make Love, Not War. Make love to someone you love tonight, even if that someone is you.
Dr. SUZY
I love you. I love you too, Vladimir, but this has got to stop. Love you, love you, love you. Luzer Twersky and Capt’n Maximillian, thank you.
MAX
Dr. Suzy. That was great. Very interesting.

by Dr. Susan Block.
It’s our first ride on the Love Train since Capt’n Max’s 80th birthday, so we’re still celebrating with cool callers and hot tales of this year’s erotic festivities; plus eight great decades of Max’s memories, from being born into war through a lifetime of advocating for peace, romance and great sex.
It’s also the 9th Anniversary of The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace through Pleasure (now with over fifty five-star reviews on Amazon) which was my gift to Max for his birthday in 2014. In these dystopian days of perma war, genocide, ecocide and neo-Puritan neo-fascism, we need the Bonobo Way of conflict resolution, female empowerment, male well-being, sharing resources and peace through pleasure more than ever.
Happy Birthday Capt’n Max of Bonoboville! Photo: Rodrigo Alvarez
Yet opportunities to release our inner bonobos seem fewer and farther between.
We even took a trip to the Zoo to see the real bonobos for a Bonobo Peace Summit a couple weeks ago, as Israel’s retributive bombardment of Gaza began, so we could learn more about how to “Be Bonobo” and possibly save the world—or at least save our sanity in our own “little” worlds.
Happy Naughty November!And it’s Naughty November, appropriately enough, as birthday spankings may be given to naughty birthday boys. Max is “naughty” in the best sense, especially for an octogenarian. Since his actual day of birth (November 8) fell on a Wednesday—the Hump of the Week—we kicked it off with a little humping.
Go bonobos for senior sex! It keeps you young. Max is now 80 years young and, despite a few disabilities that have now rendered him temporarily wheelchair-bound, he’s still having and giving great orgasms. I can attest to the orgasms he is giving (to me, at least) being somehow better than ever. And he’s having some pretty good ones too, thanks to his naughty Night Nurse (that would also be me) slipping into bed with him for “treatments.”
Laying of Hands on Birthday Max. Video Photo: Rodrigo Alvarez
I figure it’s best to have some kind of sex first thing to get the big birthday off to a sexy start, because you never know how the rest of your day and evening will go. The typical plan is to have sex at the end of a day of festivities, but the best laid plans may not get you laid the way you planned, so maybe it’s better to have it first. After all that celebrating, the day’s end might find you drunk, exhausted or mad at each other—and then there goes the birthday sex! Best to do it first, just in case, and then you can always do it again. We were too drunk and exhausted for round two—but at least we weren’t mad at each other this year!
War DayIt’s also Veterans Day 2023, so we talk about how this somber military day of salutes, cemeteries and fighter jet ballets started out as Armistice Day, which celebrated making peace after World War I, the notorious “War to End All Wars.”
However, the wars didn’t end with WWI.
Our leaders turned Armistice Day, a holiday celebrating peacemakers, into Veterans Day, a holiday venerating the fallen troops of Perma War.
On the contrary, the American War Machine just got bigger and bigger with no sign of America ever going back to a “peacetime economy.” So, our leaders turned Armistice Day, a holiday celebrating peacemakers, into Veterans Day, a holiday venerating the fallen troops of Perma War.
Sanctions are almost as bad as war, since they tend to kill the poorest civilians, rather than the elites who wage wars and make policies that America doesn’t like. Burt Sesame calls in to ask, “Why don’t we drop care packages instead of bombs?” His suggestion for good-will drops of food, medicine and iPads is great, and very bonobo, though it reminds me of an incident in Iraq where children confused air-dropped care packages with cluster bomblets—both bright yellow.
That’s not the main problem with Burt’s idea, however. It’s that dropping bombs makes a lot more money for the American War Machine and its political handmaids than dropping care packages.
Birthday Spankings!We prefer celebrating Naughty November to Dead Troops of the War Machine Day.
And Capt’n Max’s hump-of-the-week birthday party took it up a notch. Since Max was rooted to his wheelchair, we couldn’t give him his own birthday spankings. Fortunately, we had two beautiful butts volunteering for the honor.
Spanking Amor Hilton for Max’s Birthday. Video Still: Rodrigo Alvarez
Hot wiggling rumps for the hump!
First up for Max’s birthday spanking was the fabulous Amor Hilton (no relation to Paris) who appeared to be in her birthday suit—at least from the waist down, her pale pink thong teddy matching her pale pink skin. Such a living Barbie Doll, with a purse made of white latex skeletons, it’s no wonder Amor wins the “Most Adorable” Suzy Award every year.
Admitting she was naughty and “deserved” a spanking, having missed my birthday show a few months ago, Amor subjected her pale pink ass to my rosy palm, complimenting my slaps with her squeals.
Adorable Amor also contributed a few well-placed wallops to my marathon spanking of Fawnia, our delightful, hot MILF real estate agent.
Fab Friend Fawnia takes 80 spanks for each of Capt’n Max’s 80 years! Video Photo: Rodrigo Alvarez
Fawnia had done nothing naughty, though some might use that adjective to describe her periodic boob-flashing throughout the party. However, she received the most spanks—80, to be exact—one for each of Max’s 80 years—with long pauses between spanks for Max to reminisce about that particular year in his long life of love and revolution.
What a good impact-play sport our Fawnia is!
Birthday Laughs & LoveAmor’s “date,” Mr. David Harris, arrived in a dapper purple suit and tie with matching fedora and purple heart-shaped sunglasses. He even led the toasts “to Max!” One toast led to another (thanks to scrumptious Barbancour Pango pineapple-flavored rum), and before we could say “birthday suit,” David had his shirt unbuttoned, and then completely off, though he kept his tie on, continually toasting “to Max!”
Fawnia and Amor showered Max with hugs and kisses (David also tried to, but Max held his boundaries). Amor even gave him her ring to wear around his neck, just like the old Elvis song (one of Max’s favorites), which Max wore through this show.
Amor gave him a flashcard that said, “I wanna spoon the fuck out of you.” “I wanna spoon the fork out of you” would be funnier, but whoever made the flashcards didn’t consult me.
Kisses & Cake for the Birthday Boy. Video Photo: Rodrigo Alvarez
As for cuisine, the hit of the party was Ana’s fresh, mouth-watering taquitos. My hairdresser Mark Brown brought more yummy appetizers, along with his professionally coiffed shiatzu-poodle Frankie. Dragon Steel’s giant ocean blue cake and twin captain’s hats (one enormous gold headpiece and another in Hawaiian-style floral green) made fun party favors, and Miguel, Mar, Dre, JD and Rodrigo (our multi-talented DJ photographer) rounded out the cast of characters, all of us surrounding Capt’n Max with the love and appreciation he deserves for making it to 80 with style and passion.
What a nice gathering—just enough to call it a party, and we did party with plenty of drinking, eating, speechifying, spanking, a little dancing and carousing, and no fighting. Fighting and shooting break out in a lot of parties these days, but not in Bonoboville, at least not on Capt’n Max’s 80th birthday.
Three cheers and a bonobo beer for our great Captain!
CEASEFIRE NOW!Alas, but it isn’t long before celebrations give way to lamentations on this show, as Bibi Netanyahu and the Zionist branch of the American War Machine continue to bomb Gaza into a deathscape of cataclysmic proportions.
Much as we—and billions of others—are screaming “Ceasefire Now!” in the streets, on our podcasts, in the offices of our representative and just about everywhere else except Genocide Joe’s own bathroom, our leaders are not listening. They are too busy raking in the cash from the Military Industrial Congressional Complex, aka the American War Machine.
These religious folks murdering one another in the name of their righteous God(s) ought to follow at least one of the Big 10 Commandments: “Thou Shalt Not Kill.” How about it, believers?
It’s also the 84th anniversary of Kristallnacht, “the night of the broken glass,” one of the opening shots of the Nazi Holocaust, when Jews were killed and Jewish businesses were destroyed. Now the atrocity is practically in reverse, as Israel’s genocidal demolition of Gaza goes on, destroying schools, hospitals, humanitarian water trucks, refugee camps and all the innocent people in them.
Ceasefire Now and forever. No more killing in the Holy Land!
Maria, aka Smiley Red Herring, calls in response to our Gaza lamentations, but winds up partaking in Max’s birthday celebration, singing “Happy Birthday” with a bluesy lilt that has us applauding and cheering for more.
She’s a bit religious—or as she says, an “ecumenical” Christian with a fondness for the “digital” Gideon’s Bible—and certainly to the right of our sexy, lefty politics. Nevertheless we find ourselves in harmony on many things, from the joy of spanking (she prefers giving to receiving, and only when “in the mood”) to the pain of Palestine. She’s even watched our friend Abby Martin’s “Gaza Fights for Freedom.”
We also agree that all these religious folks murdering one another in the name of their righteous God(s) ought to follow at least one of the Big 10 Commandments: “Thou Shalt Not Kill.” How about it, believers?
Our descriptions of Max’s bacchanalian birthday also make an impression on Maria. “Ya’ll are making me freakishly jealous right now,” she confesses.
There’s only one thing to do about that: mellifluous Maria is hereby invited to the next Bonoboville bacchanal!
In the meantime, she’s off to check out the Christian crusading comments on our Vice TV piece, now reaching 265K views (though our uncensored Bonoboville Reunion version is much better)!
MAGAt Mike’s Johnson & SonIn the midst of all the celebrations and lamentations, we get a little comic relief. MAGAt Mike Johnson would be hilarious if he weren’t Speaker of the House, third in line to the highest office in the land.
Even then, he’s pretty funny. An ammosexual Christian nationalist, he blames school shootings on the teaching of evolution, claiming that if we learn that humans have evolved over billions of years from “slime,” as opposed to being crafted from dirt (it’s in the Bible) six thousand years ago by a guy in the sky, we can’t be expected to value life.
Speaking of slime, MAGAt Mike has a big porn fetish, big enough that he has used a porn-monitoring system to catch his johnson when it gets slimy, and it’s called “Covenant Eyes.” If that sounds Handmaid’s Tale-ish—as in “Under His Eye”—that’s because it is. MAGA Mike is mega-enthusiastic about Covenant’s “accountability software,” which he has used religiously with his porn partner—I mean, his “accountability partner”—who just happened to be his son. Yes, House Speaker Mike Johnson and his then 17-year-old son monitored each other’s porn. Yikes.
In addition to the considerable creepiness of a father and son being each other’s “accountability partner” in porn, as others have noted, it’s pretty compromising for a member of Congress to allow a third-party tech company to scan ALL of his electronic devices daily and then upload reports to his son about what he’s watching (no worries, the images are discreetly blurred). And now this Johnson is the Speaker of the House.
And that, essentially, puts us all “Under His Eye.” Creepy Covenant Eyes.
Lots more on this FDR, so listen up. Then tune into Coralyn Jewel’s interview with me on her show “Embrace,” and help us get social media censorship under control, as we take Zuck and META to arbitration.
Happy 80th Max!And join me in wishing the happiest of birthdays to my beloved prince, my husband, my lover, my collaborator, my publisher, my witness, my friend, Capt’n Max, aka Pr. Maximillian Rudoph Leblovic di Lobkowicz di Filangieri, aka Mickey, aka Massimilliano. And those are just a few of your many names.
Happy Max & the Night Nurse. Photo: Selfie
Thank you for being such a great force of love and light in my life and the universe. Thank you for living an exemplary bonoboesque life of love, and not war. Thank you for making me come, create, laugh and love every day in so many ways.

“If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by the truth.”
Julian Assange
by Dr. Susan Block.
Now, more than ever, we need to “Make Kink Not War.”
Rattled by battles, wars and more wars, including the war on women, plus rising inequality, tyranny, misogyny, insanity, political criminality, sex-negativity, truth-relativity, hyper-religiosity, murder, mass murder, appalling apartheid, worsening climate chaos and the nuclear Doomsday Clock at 100 seconds to midnight… like so many other thinking, caring humans, I feel like I’m losing my marbles and my mind at the same time.
Consent is Key to Kink.
Thus, I’ve taken this little jingle as my light in the dark, my mantra against the madness and a bit of a gag (all puns intended) in the gloom:
Make Kink Not War!
It’s the fierce yet peaceable kinkster’s *battle cry*… but what does it mean in the real world—on the battlefield, in the bedroom, the boardroom, the classroom, the dungeon, the protest march or the play party?
Making Love vs. Making KinkEveryone’s heard “Make Love Not War,” that groovy nugget of Swinging ‘60s-70s gold that’s guided my life since I was a child accompanying my draft-age older brother to protests against the American War in Vietnam and the nukes at Three Mile Island. As I ogled the sexy, earthy hippie protesters, I fantasized about beautiful people “making love” so passionately, they would somehow stop the wars. Unfortunately, they didn’t. Though they did stop the draft (woohoo!), the wars got worse.
But “Make Kink Not War” (MKNW) could be an even better idea… especially now—and not just because “now” is October, which happens to be “Kink Month” aka Kinktober. Happy Kink Month 2022!
Kink rules when it’s based on rules.
Why kink instead of love? Well, many people “make war” in the name of “love.” It might be love of country, religion, family, heritage, “democracy,” or just one person (see Helen of Troy) who may or may not be real (see Jesus). Unfortunately for humanity, love-sweet-love can ignite all manner of murder and mayhem.
Another famous saying explains why: “Love has no rules.” Though no one’s sure who said it first, everyone knows it’s true.
Kink, on the other hand, has lots of rules. Otherwise, it’s not kink; it’s abuse.
Get the “Make Kink Not War: Be BONOBO” T-Shirt!
Kink RULES!A kink is a “twist,” as Thomas Jefferson, one of the first to use the term to describe a feeling as opposed to a bend in the bondage rope, opined. One rule of kink is that it must be between consenting-adults when practiced in real life. SSC or “safe, sane and consensual” is the guiding imperative of kink and any kind of erotic power exchange. A step beyond SSC is RACK: Risk-Aware Consensual Kink.
This may sound like alphabet soup or seem to lack spontaneity, but kink rules when it’s based on rules.
Since Jefferson’s sexual relationship with Sally Hemings—a real slave—was not consensual, that would be abuse, not kink. Even if her shackles were made of French perfume, her reality was that she couldn’t choose to leave or say no to Master Tom.
If your kink is just fantasy, I say anything goes. Go ahead and roleplay Master Tom and “slave sally,” or Mistress Interrogator and hapless prisoner, Antifa and MAGA mud-wrestling; nothing is taboo when it’s all just playing in the movie of your mind… at least until our corporate owners start implanting us with microchipped “thought police.” It’s coming.

Meanwhile, just imagine… anything you like! Habitual fantasies of abuse might be a red flag, but even that’s *okay* if it’s only happening in your dreams. Sometimes your dreams are the only freedom you have.
However, if and when you transition from your impossible dreams into fragile, fleshy reality, there are many consenting-adult kink rules and protocols, and following them is part of the fun.
Making “love,” on the other hand—at least in the old-fashioned, PIV (penis-in-vagina) sense of the term—is a pretty risky matter, especially these days, with America morphing into a Christofascist Gilead out of The Handmaid’s Tale, overturning abortion rights and threatening to restrict contraception, in addition to various old and new STDs going around (monkeypox anyone?) like party-crashers at a masquerade.
Concurrently, with growing awareness, personal therapy, groups, workshops, practical tips and guidance available online, “making kink” is now safer—and maybe even more fun—than ever.
#GoBonobos for Kink (Not War)!Kink can channel natural violent energy and erotic desire into mutually agreed-upon playtime activities for the sake of physical and mental expression and pleasure. You can even include a little consensual, carefully monitored pain; for kinksters, that can be the best part.

Does this sound like some strange unnatural perversion? Sorry to pop your neo-Puritanical bubble, but kink flows through nature, from the horny mountain goats to the FemDom hyenas to the pansexual dolphins frolicking kinkily in the sea. Humans are far from the only kinky—or even the kinkiest—creatures on the planet.
Indeed, our closest great ape cousins who share over 98% of our DNA, the female-empowered, male-nurturing, sex-positive bonobos, are very kinky in a Bonobo Sutra of ways. I call them the “Kinkiest Apes on Earth.” They’re also astoundingly peaceful and have never been seen killing each other in the wild or captivity. It’s amazing but as true as my stiletto heel is sharp: bonobos utilize various kinds of kink to make peace through pleasure… with a little pain.
Can we do it too?
I don’t know If we will (in time to save civilization), but I do believe that we can and—considering a cataclysmic WWIII is always hovering on the horizon—we ought to try.
Let’s give kink a chance! It might well save the world… or at least, improve your love life.

It’s also the basis for my presentation, “Make Kink Not War: Be Bonobo,” Version 6.0 of The Bonobo Way at DomCon LA, now playing on a platform near you.
Comic Con of Kink & Met Gala of LatexI love DomCon LA.
It’s one of my favorite “homes away from home,” or you could say, a BDSM-focused Bonoboville away from my Bonoboville.

I call DomCon “the MetGala of Latex” and “the Comic-Con of Kink.” All that lubed-up flash, flesh and studded fashion gives it eye-candy allure for the voyeur connoisseur… for sure!
But the heart and soul of DomCon are the Dommes, Doms, subbies, Tops, bottoms, fetishists, exhibitionists, Masters, Mistresses and kinksters of all kinds—plus a few kink-positive sex therapists like me—all of us coming together (sometimes literally) to share the love, the spanks, the ideas, the accessories, the rules, the protocols and the kink, always the kink.
My DomCon EvolutionIt takes a village to create a DomCon, or maybe a school, and the Headmistress of that School of Hard Knocks and Impact Play is Mistress Cyan St. James, who happens to have given me my first consenting-adult birthday spanking in 2004, the same year she founded DomCon,“the World’s Premiere Lifestyle and Professional Domination Convention.”

I didn’t get there until 2015 when the divine Goddess Soma and her then-BF, kinky lefty Fat Mike of NoFX, invited me over for a tour and a talk about my then-new book, The Bonobo Way, and its implications for kink and the FemDom lifestyle.
With that, a series was born, tailored for the largely Mistress-led DomCon, delivering an updated version of The Bonobo Way at DomCon LA in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019, getting more elaborate each year, even incorporating a kinky cast of characters we called the Bonoboville Commedia Erotica Players.

In 2020, Mistress Cyan honored me as DomCon Mistress of Ceremonies. Alas, the Coronapocalypse kept us from getting together in person, so DomCon 2020 Virtual was a blast from my couch.
DomCon 2021 was held in person (and Mistress Cyan graciously invited me to MC again), but—my respiratory system being a veritable welcome wagon to congestive ailments, sending me to the emergency room with pneumonia five times in the past five years—I still wasn’t ready to mingle. Somehow I didn’t get and still don’t have Covid (as of this writing)—and I’d like to keep it that way.
With the right timing, good kink can be as quick as a single, sharp, well-placed spank, the whisper of a naughty name or the swift kick of a stiletto heel.
When DomCon 2022 rolled around, with two vaccines and boosters, I felt ready to return. I almost didn’t make it when—after an erotic exotic Bonoboville Reunion with Vice TV!—I came down with pneumonia. Fortunately, I kicked that nasty intruder out of my lungs within a week and was good to #GoBonobos at DomCon
A DomCon QuickieMistress Cyan kindly offered me MC honors again, but to reduce the risks, I declined, determined to make this DomCon a quickie.
The old in-and-out, aka “the quickie,” may not be the greatest way to make love, but if you’re pushed for time or want to minimize human contact, it’s for the best. Besides, this was about making kink, not making love. And with the right timing, good kink can be as quick as a single, sharp, well-placed spank, the whisper of a naughty name or the swift kick of a stiletto heel.
We decided to further diminish risk by taking the motorhome rather than staying at the Hilton like usual. Eating in the restaurants and drinking at the hotel bar with all those laughing, chatting, maskless people crowded together just seemed like inviting Covid to an orgy in our lungs.

Besides, taking the RV meant Chico the Pomeranian-Spitz Power Pup could ride with us.
So, off we went with Miguel at the wheel, Ana riding shotgun and Capt’n Max captaining our FDR radio Ship of Fools for Love and Kink on Wheels.
Adriana and “Sexiest Comedienne” SUZY award winner Alyssa Poteet (last seen on DrSuzy.Tv in our Self-Love September Impeachment Party 2019) were our DomCon Virgins. Don’t get excited; they’re virgins to DomCon, not sex. Mar and Unscene Abe drove in front and behind, making it a DomCon-Bound Bonoboville-on-Wheels Kinkster Karavan!
Bonobo Way BOUND for DomCon LAConsidering how the Coronapocalypse had kept me captive for two years, this felt like a major jailbreak.

We arrived just in time to register, find the lecture hall and catch our masked breath. This was good for the Quickie Plan, but disorienting for entering DomCon. Plus, there were many more protocols than usual (rules are great, but can be confusing when ambiguous), and attempts to communicate with muffled voices and darting eyes above crinkled masks were a bit of a challenge. People seemed warier than usual. Or maybe I was warier than usual. I didn’t run up to hug old acquaintances, nor did I hug them when they ran up to me, especially if they weren’t wearing a mask. This seemed sensible (and as it turned out, it was very sensible), but also meant less hugging, less physical affection, less connection and less fun.
It was great to connect with fellow kinksters at my talk, but even that had complications. Everybody seemed cool, kinky and very pro-bonobo, but not many wore masks. I swear I could almost see those little spiked Covid balls dancing around the leather and lace. Though these mostly maskless attendees seemed eager to learn the Bonobo Way, they weren’t my submissives, so I decided against commanding them to “Mask up or get out!” I just kept my own mask on until I was ensconced in my bar chair, several feet from my audience, then tore it off, savoring the sensation of the air caressing my face like a lover I hadn’t been with for a while. Still, I felt far, far away.
Technical difficulties are the spice of life… Photo: Carl Russell
We also had a few technical glitches, never good for going bonobos or even just going with the flow. As we learn from the mythical suffering of Prometheus—the plucky Greek Titan who gave humans fire—technology is a great gift… and an equally great curse.
Peace through PleasureDespite the challenges, we powered through for the pleasure of all. Technology be damned; these kinksters came for the Bonobo Way, and I was bound to deliver it—bonobo female empowerment, male well-being, sharing resources and peace through pleasure in all kinds of weather—even Climate Changed weather—infused with this year’s theme, “Make Kink Not War,” which felt especially imperative then (and now).
Russian forces had just attacked Ukraine, with Shock & Awe, the likes of which the MSM (mainstream media) hasn’t shown us since the U.S. attacked Iraq. Sitting safely in our Hilton lecture hall, we were all still pretty shaken up by the atrocities of another war—a big one—that the U.S. didn’t even start (this time).
Being a sexologist, I mused about Putin’s legendary long Covid-era meeting table (at the time) compensating for his shortcomings below the belt, literally distancing him from his fellow humans and his own humanity. Of course, that happens to all leaders who become dictators… but there seems to be something especially, disturbingly shady about Vlady.
Maybe it’s the KGB in him. In Vladimir Putin, the U.S. “War Machine” has an enemy even Hollywood couldn’t create; he’s so easy to hate. Putin’s brutalities make it a little more challenging to “be bonobo” and advocate for peace, to say the least. Of course, nobody said this would be easy, and it’s likely to get worse. But peace is the way, the Bonobo Way.

This is why, even though I loathe Putin’s Russo-fascist war crimes (what’s to like?), the Bonobo Way is to make peace somehow, so I try not to demonize him as “pure evil” or “inhuman” (I don’t even call tRump those names), like some of his other critics.
Unfortunately, the little dick-tator is all too human—just another numb, dumb, disturbed, desensitized member of our species with way too much power… and too much gas (pun intended).
On the other side, NATO is no bonobo organization. Quite the contrary, NATO’s purpose is war and, unfortunately for humanity, Putin’s inexcusable aggression has given NATO greater purpose than ever.
It could work! In war, surrender means defeat, but in kink, surrender can be sweet, especially to a power freak like Putin.
I’m only half-kidding when I say that the right Domme could do the job—that is, use her kinky wiles to persuade Putin to make peace… though I don’t think NATO would let her.
Warriors & KinkstersAs I write this four months after DomCon, other wars have taken the headlines, from America’s Christofascist Supreme Court’s war on women, police wars on protesters, and a Civil War (or something crazier) brewing between “Left” and “Right,” as individual mass-shooters declare war on their communities for revenge, fear, racism, sexual frustration or a moment of ill-begotten fame.
Between Putin’s aggressions and NATO’s expansions, the war in Ukraine rages on—as does the Saudi war on Yemen, Israel’s war on Palestine, colonial wars on indigenous peoples, the wealthy’s war on the poor, the Capitalocene Megamachine’s war on the Earth, and many other wars around the world—making the arms dealers and oil barons rich and everyone else broke, afraid, sick or dead.
Meanwhile, the MSM covers war like a wrestling match, mass murder like a video game and sex like the work of the Devil.
Actually, the “Devil” (recently voiced by Danny DeVito and denounced by Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson) isn’t such a bad fellow, being a Christianization of the Greek God Pan, Lord of the Wild and a rather kinky creature. Pan also lends his name to Pan Paniscus, the Latin classification for bonobos.

Which brings me back to The Bonobo Way at DomCon LA 2022, which may not be my *best* in the series, without my sensational Bonoboville Commedia Erotica Players, signature OTK (Over-the-Knee) Bonobo Way book-spankings nor hugs for my audience when they asked good questions. Though I did fling green garlands around their necks (from two yards away) proclaiming, “You got lei’ed… at DomCon LA!”
Well, it was good enough. Actually, it was a lot better than “good enough.” Sometimes I swear I whip myself harder than any Mistress or Master would.
But really, the important thing was just to be there, even for just a quickie, and to deliver “Make Kink Not War.” Not that most DomCon attendees are war criminals, warmongers or even pro-war, although quite a few are veterans of America’s wars.
Most (though not all) DomCon folks are out of the closet and know what’s good, and mass-killing at home or abroad—with or without the badge, stripes or kinky medals—is demonstrably not good.
However, there are a lot of closeted kinksters currently working in all branches of government and the military, on police forces, in sheriff’s departments, in conservative billionaire-funded think tanks, in bigoted enclaves, even in the anti-abortion groups that are making war on women and LGBTQ people. Hopefully, some will realize (as a closeted Chelsea Manning did in 2010) that this military juggernaut is growing and will continue to grow—domestically and internationally—even as it slides towards tyranny, consuming us all, destroying life on Earth—unless we stop it, or at least slow it down.
Kinksters in the Military and in the Militias: Lay down your arms! Pick up a sex toy. Expose the War Machine in whatever way you can. Make kink, not war.
I’m only half-kidding when I say maybe kink can liberate us from the War Machine, the first and worst tyranny of the MegaMachine. So far, nothing else has.
Perma-War vs. Peaceful KinkThe U.S. War Machine, aka the “Defense” industry, with a bigger budget than the next 10 countries combined, is getting slicker, trickier and more effective at making its case for war, war and more war—even as it LOSES war after war, only to brazenly demand money and support to fight more wars.
Some call it “Forever War,” but I think that sounds too romantic. I call it Perma-War, like Perma-Press, only instead of pants that don’t crease, it’s wars that won’t end.
Perma press stays wrinkle-free thanks to isocyanates and other toxic chemicals, but the chemicals of war are far more lethal. Not only does war kill countless millions and damage our fragile ecosystem; it also does irreparable harm to our collective human spirit.

As another great old 1960s saying goes, “War is not healthy for children or other living things”… and that was before we learned that the U.S. military is the worst polluter and contributor to global warming on the planet.
War is not only unhealthy and the opposite of the Bonobo Way; it’s not even the Human Way. More and more archeological evidence is showing us that warfare is not an innate human trait (though violence is), but a function of private property ownership, agriculture and so-called civilization. For over 100,000 years, humans with bodies and brains like ours lived without war. Can we do it again? Can we make peace through pleasure or are we hell-bent on burning the Pale Blue Dot to ash?
The erotophobic Victorians called masturbation “self-pollution,” but unless you toss your tissues out the window, it actually pollutes very little. Indeed, a little self-pleasure is the ultimate in clean energy, releasing feel-good hormones. Same with kink. Both are rewarding, renewable human resources.

Most kinky pleasures—with a little consenting-adult pain—can be shared with no serious harm to anyone or anything on or in Mother Earth (unless your kink is ammosexual roulette or joining the Mile High Club). War always causes serious harm and has a tendency to destroy everything in its path.
But never fear, the Bonobo Way is here! The bonobos, our closest genetic great ape cousins, show us the way out of war and into kink and mutual goodness.
As far as humans go, there are almost as many different kinks as there are stars in the sky, but a lot of them fit under the Big Tent of BDSM, which breaks down to consenting-adult Bondage & Discipline (B&D), Dominance & Submission (D/s) and Sadomasochism (SM).
If you want to engage in BDSM play, I recommend you study this ancient, somewhat esoteric practice, preferably with an experienced BDSM practitioner, then start light and gradually ease into more intense activity. Share ideas and techniques with fellow kinksters on the “Make Kink Not War” path. Take classes at DomCom!
When responsibly handled, BDSM can be a great bonoboësque channel for erotic power exchange, a way to express potentially violent passions without hurting anyone, including yourself. It can involve sexual psychodrama, safely and imaginatively releasing aggressive forces that fester in our subconscious, so they don’t explode into real-world destructive behavior.

In our modern militaristic, ammosexual culture, it’s no surprise that many of us have violent fantasies and desires. Of course, acting on these fantasies nonconsensually would be unethical, criminal and profoundly heinous. So… what to do about them?
Complete suppression is usually the only solution on the table, even though it has long been proven to be ineffective and, for many, impossible.
BDSM is certainly no panacea, and kinksters can be abusers like any other humans. However, the conscientious practice of SSC and RACK BDSM can effectively channel these feelings, even sometimes helping to heal trauma. Studies have yet to be done on this subject, but based on my three decades as a sex therapist, relationship counselor and kinkster, I’ve personally seen that, yes, kink can be that healing.
Of course, it’s not just about healing ourselves; we desperately need to heal this earth we’ve harmed and continue to harm. Many endangered species need our help, including our kinky kissing cousins who show us the way to peace through sharing pleasure and resources. Save the bonobos—and they will help us save ourselves! Please support Lola ya Bonobo and the Bonobo Conservation Initiative for a kinkier, friendlier, more peaceful and sustainable world.
Mistress Photo MagicAfter the presentation, we made our way to the great gathering of the Dommes—and a few Doms—for the traditional DomCon LA Mistress Photo, Class of 2022.
As always, it was held on the Hilton’s mezzanine patio surrounded by kinky corporate structures of silver, black and grey glass and cold steel glittering in the setting Spring sunlight.

It was lovely to be outdoors and great to connect with certain special people I hadn’t seen in forever, like Madame Margherite, Goddess Phoenix, Mistress Porcelain, Goddess Severa, Goddess Serenity Smith, Goddess Nicolette, Lady Victoria, Mistress Mia Darque and Alice in Bondageland.
Everyone looked more gorgeous than ever!

I didn’t have time to meet many new people, but DomCon Mistress of Ceremonies Queen Layla stood out for her striking beauty, power and personable friendliness.
“LOVE Queen Layla” commands her twitter account, and I do love this queen.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see my beloved Goddess Soma nor Mistress Tara of Dominatrixes Against Donald Trump (D.A.D.) and, though I glimpsed Mistress Cyan during the Mistress Photo, before I could say hi, she was gone. Normally that would be no biggie as I’d run into them in an hour or two at another event, but this year, we had to go.
That’s the downside of a quickie. You miss a lot.
I popped into the DomCon Marketplace, where I used to love to wander, but it felt too stuffy (Covid-y?) and somewhat unwelcoming, so I didn’t stay long.
Do You Know Where Your RV Battery Is?Cinderella left the Ball in a carriage made from a pumpkin, and we left DomCon in an RV… or tried to, but apparently the battery turned into a pumpkin… a hidden pumpkin.
Capt’n Max at the wheel.
Max tells the whole torrid tale on F.D.R., but did you know that RV batteries are sometimes under the stairs? We didn’t, and more alarmingly, neither did the mechanic that the insurance company sent over. Then the receptionist told us we’d have to wait until morning before a specialist could come by. “At least, you’re in a motorhome,” she said, vainly attempting to console us as she prepared to abandon us, “You have a roof.” Well, yes, that was true, and many are homeless on the streets of LA, and others are getting bombed in Ukraine and Yemen, but meanwhile, my butt was puckering from spending 12 hours in a tight latex skirt, and what were we paying RV insurance for if their mechanic couldn’t even find the battery?
Lay Down Your Arms! Make Kink Not War.
Fortunately, we had the sense to give up on the inept insurance company and call good old AAA which sent over a mechanic who had a feel for motorhomes like I have for vibrators, and we were soon on our way back to Bonoboville.
Even factoring in the motorhome mishap, it was fortunate that we made our DomCon 2022 trip a “quickie.”
Why? Because we didn’t catch Covid, and apparently, a lot of people who attended DomCon 2022 did. We may be “done” with Covid, but it’s not quite done with us.
Thank Goddess most of my kinky friends are vaccinated and boosted, so none have come down with a bad case. Still, many got sick, so I’m glad we made it a quickie this year, avoiding this latest, extremely contagious Omicron variant.
Covid and Covid-avoidance definitely cramps one’s kinky style. Hopefully, we’ll get into the more intensive, extended, fetish fun at future DomCons.
In the meantime, the MKNW seed has been planted in the great, swirling, sparkly, lubed-up and lusty DomCon-o-sphere and, now on Youtube, IG and Facebook, it can wind its way into the closeted kinky ears of government, think tank and military personnel, as well as poor lonely misguided ammosexuals everywhere.
Lay Down Your Arms!
MKNW (Make Kink Not War).
And Happy Kink Month 2022!
