Dr. Susan Block Gives “State of Sexual Union” Address on WCAP-AM 980
“Active Radio” host Hartley Pleshaw interviewed Dr. Susan Block on WCAP-AM 980 live 2/6/21 throughout the Massachusetts Valley area. Generally covering politics and culture, Dr. Block’s interview is Active Radio’s first episode entirely dedicated to love and sexuality. Bringing her special expertise to live talk radio, the “Theater of the Mind,” once again, Block talks with Pleshaw about a variety of sex and romance-related topics, from “Love in the Time of Coronavirus” and the study of Sexology to Big Tech social media censorship; the #MeToo movement; Trump’s bad influence on sexual expression; bonobos and The Bonobo Way of peace through pleasure and more. When Pleshaw requests that she give a “State of the Sexual Union” address, Block delivers “I Have a Fantasy,” inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech at the 1963 March on Washington. A rousing address, “I Have a Fantasy” (also available on F.D.R. (F*ck Da Rich): Fantasy Tailgating) hopes for a better, more bonoboësque world with greater acceptance of all forms of consensual sexuality and erotic freedom of expression. Click the pic to listen.
ROBBIE MARTIN interviews DR. SUSAN BLOCK on MEDIA ROOTS RADIO
How does human sexuality influence politics? How are politicians now trying to control sex? “Sex Workers Battled Big Tech First, Obscenity Laws & Cuckolding in the Trump-era with Dr. Susan Block,” hosted by Robbie Martin on Media Roots Radio, explores these issues and more in this riveting, revealing and inspirational interview. After the Trump Riots and before the Biden inauguration, Robbie and Susan discuss the rioters’ sexual motivations and the insurrection itself as an “orgy of violence”; the growing popularity of cuckolding, practiced actively by Trump operatives, Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, and the hypocritical weaponizing of the term “cuck”; the destructive effects of SESTA/FOSTA laws on sex workers’ lives and on all of our Freedom of Speech, and the looming threat of SISEA (Stop Internet Exploitation Act); Vice President Kamala Harris’ worrisome record as California Attorney General aggressively prosecuting sex workers and Backpage; the “Chilling Effect” on the porn industry and all forms of erotic expression from “set up” cases like Max Hardcore’s (on The Dr. Susan Block Show shortly after his release from prison in 2011); the benefits of lust over greed; the inspirational example of our close great ape cousins, the bonobos, and The Bonobo Way of peace through pleasure, and much more. Media Roots Radio is a “non-partisan, radical political podcast focusing on foreign policy, the police state, and social issues” co-hosted by filmmaker Robbie Martin and his sister, journalist Abby Martin, interviewed on The Dr. Susan Block Show in 2014, host of The Empire Files and formerly of Breaking the Set (RT).

“Sex is the Essence of Life”: Dr. Suzy Returns to “Sex in the Pews”
“Sex in the Pews” host Glenn Klein welcomes Dr. Susan Block back to a second interview “in the pews,” with congratulations on her first interview having “gone viral,” scoring the most hits of all “Sex in the Pews” podcasts in 2019. No wonder she won the “Sexologist of the Year” Glenny award! The “Sex in the Pews” podcast is dedicated to promoting a healthy attitude towards sex, as well as dismantling religion and the harm it can cause. The subject of Dr. Suzy first top-scoring interview (episode #58) is her longtime philosophy of “Ethical Hedonism.” In this second interview (episode #270), Glenn asks Dr. Suzy what to do “When Life Gets in the Way of Sex,” and Dr. Suzy replies that “Sex is the essence of life (thus the podcast title), the trick we play on death; sex is what brings us into the world, and sex is what motivates us to stick around for a while.” She also addresses how work, family, school, social media, politics, religion, resentment, jealousy, boredom, health issues, weight gain, the aging process, the environment, schedules—and now the Coronapocalypse—all can get “in the way” of sex. They talk about the importance of planning sex dates; “The best-laid plans may not get you laid the way you planned,” says Dr. Suzy, “but plan anyway,” and no, it doesn’t “ruin the spontaneity”). She also suggests entering the “erotic theater of the mind,” as well as making sex a top priority, or at least in the top five. Listen to the podcast to find out the other four, as well as hear more about bonobos (they certainly prioritize sex!), The Bonobo Way, “medibation” (masturbation plus meditation), our biggest sex organs and true tales of sexual experiences “in the pews” of Church and Temple. Glenn also credits Dr. Suzy with enlightening him on their first interview about how male circumcision is a form of genital mutilation (like female circumcision which is usually considerably worse) and, when performed on an infant, a form of child sexual abuse. Indeed, their lively conversation touches upon many subjects in the intersecting realms of sexuality, spirituality, religion, eroticism, health, abortion, sports, laughter, politics and culture.

GasMaskGirl “AfterHours” interviews Dr. Suzy
“AfterHours,” a GasMaskGirl podcast hosted by Ameena, interviewed Dr. Susan Block on 10/9/20 about her long and illustrious sexology career, her marriage of over 28 years, some of her most effective sex therapy techniques, a few of her current projects and her thoughts on various hot topics, including sex, love and fetish in the Coronapocalypse, politics, conspiracy theories, culture, climate change and The Bonobo Way. She also tells the origin story of The Dr. Susan Block Show, going back 35 years, as well as her first show with GasmaskGirl just after the 2016 election. “GasMaskGirl was the perfect guest for our state of electoral dysfunction,” says Dr. Block. “With Trump, I felt the very air we were breathing would soon be so toxic we’d need gasmasks. Little did I know how prescient that feeling would be.” When Ameena asks what brings her the most joy during this strange period in time, Dr, Block’s answer is sex, of course (no more in-person orgies in the Coronopocalypse, but at least she’s got her husband Max!). She also savors simple pleasures, such as playing with Bonoboville’s newest and cutest member, Chico Peggles the Pomeranian power puppy! You can listen to this enriching podcast here.
