Still reeling from being sucker-punched by Google bots removing my YouTube channel—I see the Memphis police sucker-punching and gang-beating a man to death, the LAPD suffocating another, more cops shooting more citizens in the back, and then another, another and another—adding to the hundreds of horrid deaths-by-police over the most trivial of *offenses* just this past year—and I feel pretty dumb, crying about my YouTube channel being erased.

What’s a little censorship by bots compared to murder by cops?

Then again, one leads to the other.

The bots that “terminate” our internet lives are the digital version of cops that exterminate people’s real lives.

It’s all about control.

The bots that “terminate” our internet lives are the digital version of cops that exterminate people’s real lives. The cops are trained to be inhumane, while the bots aren’t even human. Ironically, bots don’t stop disinformation, and cops don’t stop crime. Both cops and bots are the attack dogs of capitalism and “Da Rich.” It’s the nature of fascism, it’s getting worse, and it’s one reason why I still cry.

Bots just zap those of us who don’t toe the corporate line, and cops just attack protesters, sex workers, the homeless and the marginalized. Easy targets are the name of the game, as the obscene Capitalocene constantly pits us against each other. Tyre Nichols was murdered by fellow black men in a police gang, while my channel was terminated by a fellow liberal woman named Susan who runs YouTube (though bots did Susan Wojcicki’s dirty work). Oh, how the laws of the market turn us cold to our own brothers and sisters. Moreover, Wall Street billionaires would much prefer we fight against each other than unite against them.

Repression turns into depression which can turn into lethal expression

Can the damage of the obscene Capitalocene be undone before Climate Catastrophes flood, freeze, burn and dry up our world? Before the religiofascists silence us all? Before the militarists blow us up? Who knows? All we know is that we can’t give up, as citizens or as sexologists.

Traumatized by current events—in cyberspace and in-the-flesh—humanity is in need of sexual healing, The Bonobo Way, the way of female empowerment, male well-being, and peace through sharing ecosexual pleasures—and not enough of us are getting what we need.

Repression turns into depression which can turn into lethal expression when some of these needy people, armed with AR-15s, *release* their inner angst and anger via mass shootings, making war zones out of our streets, supermarkets, schools, massage parlors, parade routes and dance halls.

The recent Monterey Park Dance Hall mass-murder hits close-to-home for us geographically, as well as emotionally. I consider how often I’ve recommended ballroom dancing to older, single men who want to meet and get close to mature women in an erotic yet respectful way. What a shame that one old ammosexual’s frustration turned a haven for romance, music and dance into a death chamber.

One thing I do know: Baal worshipers did not flag my YouTube channel.

Bonobo Sapiens of the World Unite! Let us overthrow the common chimps of capitalism, censorship and terrible, lethal violence, and with the help of a little sexual healing, let us overcome the loneliness and hate that divides us so together we can share and enjoy the sustainable pleasures of life and love.

So goes the convos with my darling Pr. Max, along with Unscene Abe, callers and commenters as we ride the Love Train. On this ride, we also pick up Brady Crow who, being a sensitive musician, feels my pain over losing my YouTube channel of 15 years, which was bombed by bots, perhaps in response to flags from Christofascists raging against sex education, or Judeofascists opposed to our support for Palestine (YouTube just censored a video made by my Counterpunch colleague Ramzy Baroud about media censorship of Palestine), or maybe Islamofascists against Salman Rushdie. Who knows? One thing I do know: Baal worshipers did not flag my YouTube channel.

What does it mean when someone you’re attracted to says they identify as “asexual”?

In dating news, Brady asks how best to assess a woman’s sexual interest. It’s a good question in these days of mixed signals, erotophobia, assaults and allegations, and I try my best to give Brady (and you!) some practical answers. Another intriguing sex question we address on his ride: What does it mean when someone you’re attracted to says they identify as “asexual” but they *seem* very sexual to you?

We also wish Bonobo Adriana a very happy flirty 30^th birthday; we (once again) ask Joe to FREE ASSANGE (being censored and slowly killed simultaneously); we rhapsodize over the sexual-healing power of bare boobs (free the nipple!); we gag over gay Nazi Nick Fuentes desiring women in burkas; we continue mourning the Cop City murder of environmental activist Tortuguito; and we celebrate the new release of an old Sex Calls video, “Bisexual Monogamy.”

So, cuddle up to your favorite sexual healer in the Sleeper Car (even if that sexual healer is you—heal yourself! Love yourself…) or just pour yourself a tall one in the Bar Car, and listen.
