“She’s part philosopher, part Dionysian sex goddess”
“Dr. Block is so knowledgeable, frank and articulate that we have a really fun, easy conversation. I have not had a good intellectual discussion in a while, especially while investigating porn. She uses metaphors that will take me days to figure out. She is poetic, provocative and pornographic at the same time. She’s part philosopher, part Dionysian sex goddess, part porn pundit. Her body is as hard and lean as a twenty-four-year-old’s. She definitely takes Dr. Ruth to another level. She retains her sense of humor while fielding a call and holding open her guest’s vaginal lips at the same time. God, she has guts. Sam and I exchange a look as if to say, she might be slightly crazy, but damn is she smart. She is the only sexpert he can imagine actually having sex. I am fascinated how these two women, the hyper-intellectual academic and the seXXXpert, can live in the same body. We talk about relationships and sex for an entire hour, and I love that most of her recommendations are simple and easy to try and do not involve anything you have to buy or read. In fact, I could continue asking her questions for another hour, but I realize I should at least pretend like I have a life. Thanks to my talk with Dr. Block, I feel much better equipped now to be in a relationship.”—Ayn Carrillo-Gailey, Pornology

“Dr. Susan Block is known as an advocate for ethical hedonism & The Bonobo Way.”
Amongst her many talents, Dr. Susan Block is known as an advocate for ethical hedonism, and in The Bonobo Way, she portrays these highly sexual animals as inspiration for her philosophy.
In her book, you will learn about the fascinating life of bonobos, how they deal with conflict by having sex, and how this coping mechanism may translate to humans as well. Their lifestyle speaks to a happy and peaceful society, something we have yet to accomplish in all the time we’ve been in existence.Of particular interest is that bonobos have a strong sense of feminine energy. The females band together and sex is used to keep the males in check. And while bonobos may experience unique feelings for one another, they don't appear possessive. They are, after all, not monogamous. The book is an illustration of a lifestyle that exists harmoniously, underscored by the relationship between sexuality and a peaceful, polyamorous society. The connection between the two cannot be underestimated.Dr. Block writes The Bonobo Way in an informative and enthusiastic voice. If you are unaware of bonobos, her book will pique your interest to learn more about this fascinating species. You may also question how we have evolved as human beings and how far we have yet to go.—Eden, on The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace Through Pleasure

"It was my first time on The Doc Block show. I was more than eager; I was horny. Doc's bed was jammed with gorgeous blondes. stuffed phalluses and vibrators. Everything was erotic, including the aphrodisiacs we ate. It was a blonde hurricane. I just let go and let them have every bit of me.

"Dr. Suzy is no ordinary doc...I was struck by the combination of cool aplomb and sexy compassion with which she handles her callers... Unlike the great majority of degreed professionals who know something about sex, she refuses to de-eroticize herself to get respect. She refuses to follow in the footsteps of the likes of the unfuckable Dr. Ruth, and this may not get her invited to some conferences, but she knows where her real respect comes from--her listeners and viewers, many of whom call her over and over and whose stories, problems and sexual fantasies she knows so well."

The Only Female Amongst ‘America’s Greatest Thinkers of 1998
"When Dr. Laura...branded rival TV sex educator Dr. Susan Block a 'pseudo-professional porn queen,' Dr. Susan...demanded an apology and when she didn't get one, unleashed her trademark 'Block Curse' on her. That voodoo that Sue do worked so well that now even Sleuth is under her spell! Witty and wondrous in so many ways...chosen as the only female amongst 'America's Greatest Thinkers of 1998," the magna cum laude Yale grad won the debate with her rival radio doc by publishing her notorious Dr. Laura Diaries, a web of intrigue that weaves "a memoir-in-progress dating from the author's first personal encounter with the Queen of Moralizing Mean.'"

A saucy melange of education and titillation
"In case you've been living in a cave and, therefore, have never enjoyed The Dr. Susan Block Show, a bit of introduction might be in order. Block's shows are a saucy melange of education and titillation, featuring not only what you might expect from a Sex Doctor -- sex advice. anatomical information, educational content -- but some things you might not -- a history lesson here, a masturbation session there, and plenty of porn stars frolicking amid Block's own brand of political discussion and spiritual celebration. I had the pleasure to enjoy two episodes of this excellent show, and it's safe to say that neither one is quite like anything I'd ever seen before...Block's enthusiasm for her topic is beyond infectious, and it's almost impossible to watch the show without enjoying her celebratory attitude."

Over the course of the show Block and Sonnenblume discuss how close bonobo great apes are to us humans and how bonobo culture is like prehistoric human hunter-gatherers, bonobo female empowerment, male bonobo well-being and bisexuality, how the “bonobo handshake” resembles the way people used to testify by touching their testicles in Old Testament times, bonobo ecosexuality, bonobo nonmonogamy, how bonobos make peace through pleasure, how sex makes you smarter, sexual puritanism on the Left as well as the Right, releasing your inner bonobo, groups that are saving the highly endangered bonobos from extinction in the wild and more.

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.

Over the course of the interview, she also discusses her first and only childhood spanking that may have been sparked her eventual interest in kink, her first book Advertising for Love: How to Play the Personals, and her study of bonobos and how they influenced her philosophy of “The Bonobo Way,” her bonobo conservation activism, her thoughts on the recent election, her work as a sex therapist in private practice, the incel phenomenon, cuckold therapy, the healing power of kink and more entertaining, enlightening stories about how she evolved into the Dr. Suzy of today, the “happy, horny housewife” we all know and love.

“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.
Dr. Susan Block Wins “Best Animal Activist” Award
DomCon Animal Play Awards and Pet Show Director Madame Margherite presented the “Best Animal Activist” award to Dr. Susan Block at DomCon 2020 Virtual, honoring Dr. Block for her decades-long advocacy of the bonobo apes and active dedication to save humanity’s highly endangered close cousins from extinction, as well as spreading The Bonobo Way of “peace through pleasure,” FemDom power, male well-being and ecosexuality. Founder and director of the Block Bonobo Foundation, devoted to protecting and studying bonobo apes, as well promoting the Bonobo Way, Dr. Block’s “pro-bonobo” efforts also include her Bonobo Way talks, presented annually at DomCon since 2015, as well as AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors & Therapists) 2016 and 2019, Yale University (her Alma Mater) on WYBC, AdultCon, UC Berkeley and the Keynote Speech at the first academic Ecosexuality Symposium at University of Puerto Rico. It’s all based on Dr. Block’s critically-acclaimed book The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace Through Pleasure, the manifesto that has educated thousands about the “Make Love Not War” bonobos, plus the 12 Steps to Releasing Your Inner Bonobo, a guide to incorporating some of the peaceful, female-empowering, pleasure-positive ways of the bonobo into your sexuality, your everyday life and human society at large.

“KEM Top Talk” Interviews Dr. Susan Block
Marabelle Blue, host of Kink E. Magazine’s weekly podcast, KEM Top Talk, talks with Dr. Susan Block about her life and times as America’s premiere phone sex therapist in this in-depth interview. Starting with her early career as a radio talk show host, author and therapist pursuing her doctorate in psychology, Marabelle delves into Dr. Suzy’s development of “telephone sex therapy” as a viable therapeutic alternative, combining traditional sex therapy and relationship counseling with healing-oriented phone sex, erotic hypnosis, bonobo liberation therapy and other methods. Dr. Suzy further discusses the benefits of phone sex therapy, as well as webcam and sext therapy, in a digital world, and how the “erotic theater of the mind” can mitigate the deeply-ingrained sense of shame, repression and confusion that clients feel about their sexual desires. The two also talk about the advantages of attending kink-positive events like DomCon where Dr. Suzy will be this year’s Mistress of Ceremonies. KEM Top Talk streams on a variety of platforms including Spotify, iTunes, and RadioPublic, and you can check it out here or here.

I was immediately taken with “The best laid plans may not get you laid the way you planned.”
“I was immediately taken with "The best laid plans may not get you laid the way you planned." From this point on during the hour plus program there are an array of positive insights without denying that negativity exists. I also was taken by narrowing the word "addiction" away from sexuality in that sex is a necessary part of living. It meant a lot to me to hear that it is wise to ask for help before one desperately needs help. Please consider listening to the many playfully Bonobo offerings and intelligent availability of Dr. Susan Block.Susan M. Block, Ph.D.”—Parisianne Modert, on The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace Through Pleasure
“This book is packed with information, suggestions in addition to resources on how to actually help the Bonobo, ★ ★ ★ ★ ★”
I must say this is an incredibly belated review. Dr. Block graciously allowed me to review her book last year. I will say it took me a while to read it; although just over 200 pages, Dr. Block has loaded her book with footnotes and observations and I am one who can't resist reading and researching each one. If you're like me - it may take some time; if you can ignore this; however, it is an entertaining read that weaves the comparisons between the Bonobo and Human Sexuality & Socialization.
In this book, she covers a wide range of concepts, interests and thoroughly outlines her paradigm (some of my favorite sections being: 50 Shades of Bonobo, Ethical Hedonism in addition to Mix Food & Sex. The beauty is each chapter is truncated into easily digestible sections. This book is packed with information,suggestions in addition to resources on how to actually help the Bonobo - which in itself is pretty amazing.--Desiree Robinson, on The Bonobo Way of Peace Through Pleasure

Susan M. Block, Ph.D., a.k.a. “Dr. Suzy,” world-renowned sexologist and leading champion of sex education, erotic freedom and the highly endangered bonobo apes, is perhaps best-known for her groundbreaking specials on HBO. Host of the famous—and slightly infamous—Dr. Susan Block Show, broadcasting on radio, cable TV and the Internet for over 30 years, Dr. Block is a magna cum laude graduate of Yale University with a Ph.D. in sexology from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, and a co-founder of Sex Week at Yale, inspiring similar college-student-based sex education conferences around the world. A best-selling, award-winning author, Dr. Block’s latest book, The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace through Pleasure, has been acclaimed for its paradigm-shifting vision, humor and sound advice by journalists, sexperts, statesmen, primatologists and porn stars.
Director of the Dr. Susan Block Institute for the Erotic Arts & Sciences, she is a top contributor to the Wiley-Blackwell International Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality, authoring “extended explorations” on “Sexual Fetishes,” “Phone Sex” and “Striptease,” as well as definitive articles on “Spanking” and “Cuckolding.” Recently, she wrote the foreword to the award-winning Ecosexuality collection, and her writings on sex, politics and culture have been published in a variety of publications from Counterpunch to Cosmo to her own Journal. But she’ll never quit her “day job” as a therapist in private practice, helping thousands of individuals, couples and groups, from California to Saudi Arabia, to explore, understand, discipline, enhance, share and enjoy their sexuality.
Married for over 23 years to Pr. Maximillian R. Lobkowicz, pioneering publisher of the first “reader-written” media such as the LA Star, Love, Hate, Finger, The Brentwood Bla Bla and Beverly Hills, the Magazine, the two founded and direct Bonoboville, both a new social-media and a real “socialist/capitalist,” pro-sex community in Los Angeles, known for producing the first reality-based sexuality programs, convivial “Speakeasies,” bonoboësque gatherings, erotic art exhibitions, bacchanalian soirées, life-changing lectures, sex-educational seminars, and priceless moments of communal ecstasy, with a portion of all proceeds going to help save the highly endangered real bonobos in the wild.
