With lusty love for kinky orgasms, starry-eyed hope for Julian Assange to finally be freed from America’s chokehold in an English dungeon, nauseated laughter over the Sorest Loser being back on the Ammosexual American Vanity and Insanity tour, cheers for the Stonewall Rebellion flamboyantly GAY sex revolutionaries, disgust for military IFOs and excitement about a dirty pig, we ride the Love Train into a great climax to June, 2021.

GasMaskGirl Post-Trumpocalypse

Partly in response to the Trumpus Rumpus Rally, and also because it’s a sexy, spectacular, fetish-friendly bacchanal (mask, nudity and feet lovers rejoice!), our after-show throwback is “GasMaskGirl Gets Set for the Trumpocalypse.”

It was our first show featuring the wacky, wonderfully kinky, antiwar veterans and sexpots of GasMaskGirl, and upon seeing that sea of gasmasks, I predicted we’d all be wearing masks by 2020.

I didn’t know it would be about Coronavirus; I thought the coming “mask chic” would be due to environmental pollution, sure to increase under the eco-unfriendly Trumpty Dumpty. Still, it’s pretty prophetic for a humble sexologist!

Making it a total GasMask kink night, Mistress Ameena of GMG joins us by phone for GasMask and other FemDom fun, games, politics and news. In public news, GMG founder Manny Garcia is preparing to release a GasMaskGirl erotic trilogy. In private news, Mistress Ameena confesses to wearing masks (sometimes) during sex with her submissive lover.

Ameena puts a butt *mask* on her lover when she sits on his face, receiving his oral services from the regal comfort of her Queening Stool. This is his reward, not a punishment, for being a good submissive.

Nevertheless, Capt’n Max is concerned for the guy’s airways. After all, one of the most meaningful phrases of 2020 was “I can’t breathe!”

Chauvin the Ultimate Chauvinist

This takes us on a tangent to the recent sentencing of Derek Chauvin for 22 years. It should have been more, of course; the guy’s a sadistic murderer. Max thinks it’ll wind up being less as he’ll probably get whacked in there. Here’s a guy despised by both the Left (for being who he is) and the Right (for revealing so shamelessly who they are), so anybody might be happy to do the job. Unscene Abe points out that his name Chauvin is the same root as “chauvinist,” which is ironically on-point, since  (quoting Jo Scott-Coe) “his crime, like so many others, offers a haunting exemplar of American chauvinism for the twenty-first century, a stew of white supremacy, nationalism, and misogyny.”

Not to compare Chauvin’s heinous murder-by-knee with Ameena’s delightful queening, but she assures us that she always makes sure her subbie can breathe. His safeword is “orange peel”—which we can imagine is an instant passion-stopper since it reminds us of the Trumpelthinskin’s complexion—though it might be tough to pronounce with someone’s booty on your mouth.

“Are gasmasks also effective in protecting against farts?” inquires Capt’n Max, breaking wind on the fetish some people have for this type of “gas.” Shout-out to MILF Farting Queen Mia Valencia, featured on our Protest Kink Bedside Chat.

Ameena and I have been Twitter pals since she conducted a probing Afterhours Interview with me when the Coronapocalypse was just getting underway. We commiserate about the dark fate of our mutual friend Ron Jeremy, now in Twin Towers jail facing sexual assault charges. None of us have had bad experiences with Ron so, while trying not to disrespect the alleged victims, we express our sorrow for our friend spending what could well be his last days locked up in America’s ravenous Prison-Industrial Complex (PIC).

Free Assange!

The deadly tentacles of the PIC reach around the world, literally snatching people off the street and out of their beds to feed its bottomless hunger for human fodder—or “bodies,” as Max reminds me they call inmates in the PIC. Which brings us back to truth-telling journalist and Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, whom we’ve passionately supported since 2010.

Now suddenly, the U.S. government’s star witness, baby-faced FBI informant, Sigurdur Ingi Thordarson, has admitted that he lied and fabricated evidence against Assange. “This is the end of the case against Julian Assange,” declared Edward Snowden (another one of our heroes), so we are excited!

But we can’t ignore Counterpunch publisher Jeff St. Clair’s sad wisdom, “In almost any other legal system, this should obliterate the US case against Assange. (It won’t because evidence–real, imagined or fabricated–is not the reason he’s still entombed in Belmarsh or the motive for the US’s extradition request & prosecution.) For this reason, Snowden is also concerned about Julian’s health.  After John McAfee’s somewhat mysterious death in a Spanish prison preceding his imminent extradition, Snowden said “Assange could be next.” Does he mean suicide or getting whacked? Will *what happened* to McAfee and Epstein happen to Assange? Either way, imprisoning journalists is just wrong in a thousand ways, one being, as Max says, that it destroys what little moral credibility America has these days. It’s also the opposite of The Bonobo Way.

Weiner’s No Wiener

Speaking of Counterpunch, my article supporting The Kinkster Candidate Zack Weiner’s right to be kinky, based on last week’s F.D.R. broadcast, is in the Weekend Edition.

Outing is wrong, full stop. But it’s happening more and more, especially if you’re famous, or on the verge, so… what’cha gonna do when they come for you?

At least, here’s a Weiner who isn’t being a wiener about it.   

I still don’t know much about Zack Weiner‘s politics, but I like his shamelessly kink-positive attitude and his support for sex work decriminalization. So does Ameena, as does Mistress Tara Indiana and D.A.D., aka Dominatrices Against Donald (tRump)—who might need to snap back into action now that the Pussy-Grabber is back on the Vanity Insanity campaign trail.

May Zack Weiner be a force for good, helping wieners and furburgers everywhere! And don’t forget the buns.

War Games or War Crimes?

When a Redditor asks what we think of the Pentagon’s UFO report, I entertain the fantasy of these Unidentified Flying Objects being actual spaceships (more likely they’re space debris)—in which case I’d welcome them as Morks and ETs, not enemies. In any case, as another Redditor points out, if they have the technology to reach Earth, they probably can pulverize our most advanced weaponry too.

But seriously, why a Pentagon UFO report? Could it be to distract us from the Identified Flying Objects (IFOs?) zooming out of their own headquarters: Bombs. Missiles. Drones. Airstrikes. From the PIC to the MIC (Military-Industrial Complex), we have the twin Kingdoms of American Death. Indeed, as I write this, Sleepy Joe woke up enough to sign off on airstrikes on alleged Iranian forces in Iraq and Syria.  Perma War pops, but it never stops. It costs us billions, and it’s the most bi-partisan project in Washington. Against the will of the American people, all Congresspeople, Senators and the POTUS—whatever party— make sure that the American Military keeps going and growing, even though they’ve lost every war they’ve waged in well over two decades. By the way, the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) is essentially a branch of the American MIC.  Shemah Yisrael: Free Palestine!

In the middle of my antiwar rant, I suddenly remember that most Americans have relatives serving in some branch of our international killing machine, and probably Ameena does too. Unfortunately, my hunch is right; she does have family in the military. Oops! I rush to explain that I’m not faulting any of them; it’s the American system of war and more war that I’ve been opposed to all my life. I understand that people take jobs in the MIC out of economic necessity, not necessarily because they personally support the true *cause* of defending capital, the MIC itself (like the police defend themselves) and Da Rich.

Nevertheless…

In our hearts, we all know I have a lot less regard for what America’s beloved troops are doing (yeah, I get it’s *just* a job) than for our far more denigrated trash collectors. Imagine if we could spend the Pentagon’s $750 billion budget on trash collection—what a Great New Deal for all that would be. #GoBonobos for putting trash collection before trash creation, and the U.S. military creates the most trash—is the worst polluter—on the planet.

This reminds me of the MIC’s utterly irritating woke ads. So desperate are they for fresh cannon fodder, they’re raiding the freaks among us. It’s especially disturbing to see now as we celebrate the Stonewall Riots that inspired Gay Liberation, then Gay Pride, but now pretty much just “Pride.”

Ummm… Pride in what? In being coopted by corporations? In being molded into a killer by the MIC? It’s certainly not pride in being different (like it used to be), because with every soul-sucking thing from banks to the military celebrating Pride, what’s different about it? Check out my fellow Counterpuncher “Queer Anarchist” Nicky Reid’s brilliant, poignant and hilarious “52 Years After Stonewall: What I Still Want for My People.”

Circumcision Decisions

It’s been proven that child sexual abuse often leads to adult violence.

Early on the ride, one of our Redditors asks what we think of male circumcision.

Listen above or below for the story of my hilarious teenage encounter with my first uncircumcised penis.

I also explain as succinctly as I can—trying my best not to offend my Semitic Lonsmen who are more committed to slicing off their infant sons’ foreskins than eating lox and bagels—that infant circumcision is a form of child sexual abuse.

Of course, I’m sure that I do offend some people, so I apologize for that, but if my words can make one parent refrain from circumcising their baby, it’s worth it.

Shout-out to Glenn Klein who interviewed me most thoughtfully about the unkind cuts of male circumcision on Sex in the Pews, earning me the 2019 Glenny Award for “Best Moment.”

SESTA/FOSTA: Persecution Not Prosecution

We also talk about the anti-sex worker (and just generally anti-sex) scourge of SESTA/FOSTA and the proposed SISEA laws, “cures” that are far worse than the “disease” of sex-trafficking that they purport to reduce.

Now a report tells us what we’ve been saying all along: these laws will hurt innocent consenting adult sex workers far more than actual sex traffickers.

In fact, these dumb, dangerous laws are almost never used (thanks for the article, Don Paschal), primarily because (being unconstitutional), they’re hard to prove or prosecute.

Nevertheless, they can still be used to persecute, and that is their primary function. The term for it is the “chilling effect,” and for those naïve enough to believe that SESTA/FOSTA’s purpose is to stop nonconsensual sex trafficking—not punish and restrict consenting adult sex work and sexual expression—a 2020 survey has officially confirmed that SESTA/FOSTA caused platforms to preemptively crack down on consensual sex workers, making their jobs more dangerous and difficult, while the GAO’s report indicates little direct evidence that it’s helped prosecutors tackle actual trafficking cases.

This is one big reason (other than just… capitalism!) for Youtube and Facebook (thanks Casey K for this tip on Texas Supreme Court holding Facebook liable for sex trafficking) frantically censoring all kinds of videos.

I also talk about how for the past year or two, Google has been censoring my ads like never before. I’ve advertised my “phone sex therapy” practice on Google Ads since 2007, and now suddenly Google won’t allow me to use that phrase. I have to say “sex therapy by phone” instead.

This silly but damaging internet censorship is mainly due to SESTA/FOSTA laws: useless for prosecution, but deadly as persecution.

This Little Piggy Went to a Film Screening

We also give a special shoutout to my cousin, the brilliant and beautiful filmmaker Vanessa Block who is about to release a very exciting new film featuring an amazing nonhuman animal and no, I don’t mean Nicolas Cage. It’s true that the extraordinary actor is the film’s star, but the title character of “Pig” is sure to steal the show.

Though Cage’s character is obviously hog-wild over his hog, this is no cuddly pet piglet, mere Babe or Miss Piggy. This pig is a working swine, a trained truffle-hunter, and I don’t mean the chocolate confections; I mean the expensive gourmet mushroomy truffles you find in the dirt. In other words, this is a “dirty pig” in every sense, as well as a very serious “Pig” in a very serious movie that looks like it’s also deeply hilarious, bringing out the wildman best in Nicolas Cage.

Confession: Vanessa Block is not my actual cousin (I wish she was!), but it’s true that we are both burdened with the same squarish last name which we discovered upon meeting at an Emmys party along with our other fake cousin, Mitchell Block. Plus, she went to Yale (long after me), made another film about the DRC, and attended our 25^th Wedding Anniversary!

Anyway, we’re excited as family to see Ms. Block’s latest cinematic effort and, even though you probably don’t share her last name, you should be excited too.

Don’t miss “Pig,” oinking soon at a theater near you. If you’re worried about Covid, get vaccinated and wear your pig mask.

An Orgy of Topics

We also talk about the joys and traumas of bra strap-snapping in mid-20^th century junior high, fears and fantasies of pegging, how (in a weird allegorical way) I was a sex worker for the LAPD, and how orgasmic pleasure can heal terrible pain (at least temporarily)—even in rapidly aging long-term lovers like Max and me… plus lots more! This show is a veritable orgy of topics.
