Before Dr. Suzy, I had no idea what Lupercalia was or the history of Valentines Day.

Love sure CAN hurt – especially when your Valentine is a no-show or eats all the candy and falls asleep! I’d much rather donate to save the bonobos – or donate my buns to one of your Lupercalian flogging fests!

Love the wolf (luper) that’s also a sex worker (lupa) – talk about wild! Brilliant comparison of the Lupercalian Romulus killing Remus (and not naming Rome “Reme” – lol) with the Islamo-Judeo-Christian Cain killing Able – thank you Rabbi Dr. Block.

I saw some familiar faces there. Awesome clips of the Lupercalian re-enactment of some fun filled events!

From the two infant founders of Rome suckled by a friendly she-wolf, to the chaste St. Valentine & his legacy chocolate factory, I love Dr Suzy’s descriptive tale of this ancient Lupercalian holiday. +Happy World Bonobo Day!

I’ve been watching your videos, and each lesson is wilder than the last, but the message of Lupercalia is still clear to this day.

Valentine’s Day and Lupercalia history, Pan, World Bonobo Day, and Heart-Shaped Boo-tay, are all stories we need to hear and make for a wonderful show. This show is such an entertaining mix of comedy, sexuality, education, and serious discourse that I would not want to miss.
