What a sizzling hot show this is, not so much in an erotic as in an emotional way.  The temperature rises in heated debate on the topic of Sex & God: How Religion Distorts Sexuality, featuring the best-selling author of the hot new book of that name, as well as a celebrity atheist, a lovely libertine, a Wiccan, a couple of somewhat incongruous Sex Workers for Jesus and one practically certifiable religious Christian maniac.  The dialogues and stories are riveting and telling about the state of God and sex in our society.  More about that under Featured Guests and Weapons of Mass Discussion.  But thank Goddess, it’s not all talk (otherwise, I might have to host a regular talk show).  We also partake in our traditional topless “Bonoboville Communion” (thanks Jello Shots LA) and the holy (or holey?) Pussy Pipe, and enjoy orgasmic Sybian rides in the after-party.  What a way to kick off the Merry Masturbation Month of May: with Faith-Based Sex!  Amen and Awomen.  Please pass the Holy Water lube…

FEATURED GUESTS

Darrel Ray, Ed.D: It took about 35 years, along with divorce, for this former Baptist preacher, the son of fundamentalist Christian missionaries from the heart of America’s Heartland (Kansas), to finally allow himself to exhale and unbelieve. He went on to study with the great Dr. Albert Ellis, founder of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS), and became a psychotherapist specializing in helping people struggling with religion and sexuality.  Now Dr. Ray is a much sought-after speaker at atheist gatherings—and since atheism or “no religion” is now considered the world’s third largest growing “faith” after Christianity and Islam and before Hinduism and Buddhism (and way before Judaism)—that could be a lot of gatherings. He is also a popular author whose first best-selling book, The God Virus: How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture, presents organized religion as a social disease that saps our natural human vitality and reason in order to feed the religion and its hypocritical leaders.  His new book Sex & God: How Religion Distorts Sexuality is right up our alley here in Bonoboville, and at the Institute where we specialize in treating victims of religious sexual abuse.  Though he’s softspoken, especially compared with some of the loudmouths in the Womb Room this show, he’s tireless in his efforts to expose the ways in which organized religion harms the most innocent among us.  His book is a beacon of light to religious people suffering in silence over their sexuality.

Renoni: She appears like an angel in white wings but seems possessed by the devil.   Or maybe that’s the voice of God blaring like a fire alarm from her lush lips, desperate to drill her belief in the literal veracity of the Bible, the importance of staying a virgin until marriage (though she’s a nude model/massage therapist), her intensely personal dislike of sex, her Jesus worship and other catechisms into our aching eardrums. She’s an almost cartoonish example of someone infected with what Dr. Ray calls a “God virus,” practically foaming at the mouth with rabid, irrational, aggressive, drunk, disorderly and demanding religiosity.  Eventually, to preserve sanity and prevent hearing loss, we turn down her mike. It’s kind of too bad, because on a DrSuzy.tv show with a different topic, we might have had a good time with Renoni.  Then again, she does provide some riotous moments of confrontation with our other guests and Capt’n Max, and for a moment, I think I’m hosting Jerry Springer.  This is what calm, rational atheists like Dr. Ray are up against in their fight for sanity in public policy and discourse. Imagine Dr. Ray in a roomful of Renonis. Talk about Daniel in the Lion’s Den!

Nikki Nefarious: Another fervent “believer,” Nikki is not as strident as Renoni, and her brand of Christianity is not quite like that of any established Christian Church. Indeed, this BDSM artist (you can see her award-winning rope work on Rhianna’s S&M video) and fetishist has a fetish for Jesus and defines her Christianity accordingly.  Like Dr. Darrel, she was raised Southern Baptist, yet seems to have been blessed with unusually liberal ministers and Christian camp counselors who said she could explore her bisexuality and even fisting, but as long as she saved her heart for Jesus, she’d go to heaven…or something like that.  Though the piercings on her nipples are clearly visible through her transparent top, she refuses to remove that top for Bonoboville Communion (so I, being possessed of the spirit of bonobo charity, give her a jello shot without communion—which I doubt most churches would give me).  A bit of a Goody-Two-Shoes with a Rope, at least Christian Nikki is polite and respectful of others’ sexual attitudes and philosophical views and does have a voice like an angel, so we don’t turn her microphone down.  She provides an interesting example of how some branches of Christianity are wisely liberalizing, adapting their message and even their basic philosophy of sex, opening their doors to gays and kinksters.  Nevertheless, this positive doesn’t change the fact that the Church has been one of the most sexually repressive forces in human history.  Though Jesus loved the hookers (or was MM his wife?)…

Lotus Lain: Finally, we have a smart, sexy, sane porn star who can speak about how religion distorts sexuality.  Though she arrives late (fighting traffic sent by the Devil!), our heroine Lotus Lain brings blessed reason (and a cute BF) with her.  Raised Catholic, Lotus now professes herself a “libertine” (check out my old Libertine Clubs of Cannes travelogue for more about the term), and eloquently gives her personal account of what Dr. Darrel terms the “Guilt Cycle.”  As a devout Catholic teenager, Lotus used to spend ceaseless time and energy trying to flush herself of “bad” sexual thoughts that her catechism indoctrinated her into believing would send her to hell. But all the prayer and effort didn’t’ stop the feelings. With every sexual thought, she felt she was one step closer to eternal damnation. Finally, she had an epiphany when she asked herself, “What is this all really for?” and then looked at the reeking, real-world hypocrisy of the priests and other religious “role models” all around her.  This was the start of her conversion, or awakening, full-on into becoming a porn star/webcam girl.  A woman who practices what she preaches, Lotus volunteers for topless Bonoboville Communion, showing off her lovely God-given boobies and yummy chocolate nipples.  Praise the Lady!

Malaika Millions: In total Marilyn mode, wearing an even clingier retro dress than the one she wore when she so breathily sang “Happy Anniversary tooooo Yooouuuu” on our 21^st Wedding Anniversary, Malaika/Marilyn has kicked off Masturbation Month 2013 with the first masturbatory climax of her life.  Mazel tov, MM!  Maybe it’s the holiday or her partner (this was mutual masturbation), or maybe the testosterone she’s been on for a year and a half is finally paying off…Supposedly, the historical Marilyn Monroe dreamt that she stripped naked on the pulpit of her church as the congregation fell to its knees and worshipped her beauty.

John Barrymore: A member of the prestigious Barrymore acting dynasty, and continuing the craft today (currently playing Hamlet at the Forest Theater in Carmel), John is a lifelong atheist, very much in tune with Dr. Ray’s ideas. He is accompanied by his adorable dog Jasmine, but no, they do not do anything erotic, at least not on DrSuzy.tv. John has an particular distaste for the missionary zeal of the new religion of Scientology, partly because they keep trying to convert him, as they do with a variety of Hollywoodites.  It’s the only religion to boast a “Celebrity Center.” Other than that, John doesn’t feel Scientology is any weirder than any other religion… just more expensive!

Max: My Prince’s royal Filangieri family hails from the troubadours of Southern France who substituted love of their lovers for love of the Church (AMOR is ROMA spelled backwards).  Thus, he says, he has always been wary of religiosity. He attributes his success in our little Church of Bonoboville here—where we’ve been married 21 years (a better track record than many clergy) —simply to love, not religion… and he gets his morality from the women that raised him, who told him to be “a nice boy.” When Renoni starts squawking and flapping her angel wings like a raging duck, Max jumps into the ring, his booming baritone voice of reason taking down her shriek for Jesus.

Livia Godiva: Our adorable new DrSuzy.tv producer, nattily attired in a micro-mini plaid Catholic school skirt and not much else, proudly observes that despite being in the 99.99% percentile of her class, she was kicked out of Catholic school (or maybe it was because she wore a skirt like that).  Backing up Dr. Ray’s points with her own experience, Livia adds to Lotus’ counterpoint against the startling religiosity of the Sex Workers for Jesus brigade that have somehow infiltrated the Womb Room for Sex & God show.  In the post-show, she miraculously transforms herself into the Goddess Venus Cannabis, holding the Pussy Pipe in her Womb Room for all the Faithful (and a few unfaithful) to partake and find a little puff of Heaven on Earth..

Ashley:  Our very own Church Lady in a slinky low-cut slip, the lovely statuesque Ashley has been a webcam and phone therapist with the Institute, as well as a helpful volunteer in Bonoboville for the past couple of months, but this is the first time she gets on mike.  And this is the first time I learn of her passion for Christianity.  Though she doesn’t go to church (except  occasionally at the Agape center), she presents her case that mothers should use the power of religion to “save their daughters from rape…and mutilation” and we can all find strength (or something) from the Bible, with sweet, smiling, missionary zeal.  At least, she’s sweet, though her logic is as murky as a stained glass window.  The missionary zeal part is also a little unnerving, especially in light of U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral William D. Lee’s recent remarks on World Prayer Day, vowing to defy official efforts to keep him from giving Bibles to his subordinates and proselytizing his very militant version of Christianity.  Every Christian seems to have their own version of Christianity these days, but they all cite the Bible to back it up!

Dark Phoenix:  A longtime friend of Bonoboville, having portrayed Haman as a horny Hitler in Purim Rising 2013 and Purim Bacchanal 2011, Dark Phoenix grew up in Catholic boys’ schools where he, of course, picked up many of his now well-known perverted ideas.  Now that he’s in the adult industry, he identifies more as Wiccan.  Dr. Darrell thinks the Wicca is pretty cool, as religions go, since it is one of the few popular, sex-positive faiths.  It’s also not really out to grow or convert anybody.  Maybe that’s at the root of all these problems… not “God,” the Goddess, faith or spirituality, but the oppression of sexuality in the name of those things, combined with the missionary zeal to nonconsensually force your faith and your lifestyle upon others.
