Fantastic blog, dr Suzy. You do so much to help others, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, especially when they spell “lewd” as “lude.”

Dr Suzy,Your attitude presumes everyone has free choices in life. You teach our young adults to emotionally disconnect and think they are filling the voids in their lives sexually. Young people searching for acceptance and love in this way are vulnerable to greater pain and hurt. You do not know who in your audience has been raped or molested. You do not know who has been forced into a life filled with shame and lying and denying to cover their hurt. You don’t know who has real fear hanging over their heads if they dare tell the truth. You don’t know who has had loved ones ripped out of their lives because they are too fearful for the truth to be known. You don’t know who is being exploited. You don’t know who has been taught to value sex and money over a human life. You don’t know the price some have paid to speak out against the evil of others. If you chose to delude yourself that you are loved because you can lure someone into the rack, guess again. They are users like you are. But teaching that to others is a malignancy that puts others at risk.Follow the link and see what happens to young women. One woman was promiscuous and ended up murdered. The other was exploited and she lost her life trying to free herself and be a complete person. http://groups.google.com/group/joan-webster-murderSexuality is a beautiful and loving act shared between people that value and respect each other. Without that emotional connection and genuine intimacy, it is nothing more than a lude act that can be solicited anywhere. Stop teaching others to devalue themselves. Dibs Truth

Certainly true morality must be voluntary. One of the biggest gripes I have with religious zealots of any kind is when they impose their beliefs on others, stifling intellectual discourse such as yours. Unfortunately, the United States is still a very immature anti-intellectual / anti-literate society. Hopefully the fundies will never wield the kind of power the Catholics did. At least there were some scholars among the anti-literate Catholic thugs who worship capitalism, first and foremost, as much as the fundies do.

After watching an especially stupid episode of Law and Order, in which pornography, consent and abuse were meshed together in an anti-educational way, I read the Sex Week at Yale Part III bloggamy. It was good to return to a reality-based and pleasurable perspective. At first I thought the guy with the panties over his face wanted to be a part of horny western movie, but that’s my imagination in action.Your coverage of the panel with Dawn Eden Goldstein was very revealing of the stupidity that extends from the Law and Order show to the Puritans of Christian-Taliban churches. So many of the followers of these types of church leaders use the worst “I’m a loser” stories to talk about their good fortune of becoming mindless sheep… as if panels and press conferences were their personal rehab testimonials.The content of the messages is too absurd for words. If anything, the lack of masturbation could lead to depression. The ‘chaste’ message is so absurd, their own leaders take the church money and run to their next scandal. Rather than live with a healthy balanced appreciation for sexuality, they advocate sexual repression that is as realistic as saying ‘just say no to air.’ Even the pretence of this kind of repression is what creates the kind of monsters that her new church has seen by the thousands.Dawn’s new church has to be the most laughable presenters of any kind of ‘morality.’ They advocate defying nature and creating deranged monsters that resulted in no altar boy being safe. Then they preach to the world as if they do not represent the worst Chesters in modern history.It’s sad that Dawn has such a pathetic life story. It’s unfortunate that she cannot think for herself. It’s her loss that she could not appreciate or participate in the fun during Sex Week. But our sensitivity to her becoming a dupe for the Church of Pedophilia ends when she represents a challenge to freedom.Your temptation to prescribe Dawn to ‘take the Pocket Rocket and say three Hail Maryies’ should have been been fulfilled! She was already at the conference, surrounded by porn and sexual freedom advocates. Despite the posturing, she probably needed it.It sounded like such a fun week. I think I’ll reread the bloggamy, masturbate and work on the Palm and Stroke Sunday broadcast.Rev. BookburnRadio VoltaPhiladephiaReverendBookburn.comYoutube.com/revbookburn

I’d love to attend one of your evenings. I’ve several candidates to bring as guests. More importantly I’d like to spend more time with you. Kindred souls on certain levels, we are easy company and have much to share. I know far too few kindred souls with whom I can trip the light fantastic, share a joint, maybe a caress and also hold a decently intelligent conversation. pt

Why is it that good christians like to call liberated women “Whores”? See comment above. Then there is Happy Papist. Dr. Block is certainly not bashing christians. She is just writing about the history, methodology and daily deeds of Christianity, and the words that discribe the actions of Christians throughout history reveal the brutality or their actions. That’s not bashing, Happy Papist. These are just facts about the Christian Church. Of course, not all christians are responsible for these actions. There are millions of good christians and a lot of bad apples. But do believe this: if you are not of my faith which is the faith of the Great Owl, you will burn in hell for eternity, and your flesh will be torn from your bones. But if you drink the sacred blood of the almighty Great Owl, your blindness shall be lifted and you shall see the truth. But you must be sprayed before death, for those who are not sprayed shall not stand before the Great Owl…May the Great Owl bless you,Carlo

I was at the tea, and I found your talk quite honest and illuminating. Provocative, yes, but not “blasphemous” (and I am a Christian). I was one of the first arrivals fortunate enough to receive one of your famous Pocket Rockets which I haven’t yet tried (waiting for just the right moment). Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience with Saybrook and Yale!

Dr. Block, magnificent provocative blog. I’ve been aware of your work for quite a while now. I appreciate how you share with me the viewpoint that orgasm is not just physical pleasure, but it’s spiritual, theraputic and recuperative for everyone.

What a trip that was! Your bloggamy is so wonderfully descriptive and brings it all back to me. I must say, I was ready for the snow, sleet and rain, but I was not ready for this woman Eden Dawn the Catjew plotting the infiltration and crucifiction of Sex Week @ Yale leaders who were so gracious to invite her. I was born and raised Catholic, and she reminds me of all the damage the Church has done with their fairy tales, indoctrination and fear-mongering of innocent people from the moment they are born. Catholic theology is great at the game of slander and deceit. We are born sinners (based on the myth of the Garden of Eden, without which there would be no reason for God and Jesus) and must be constantly punished and forced to do unnatural things. Those of us who were born in the 1940s know full well the Church’s violence and intimidation of young children. The Prince of Peace would be appalled, and God would smite them all as heretics and hypocrites. And then there’s the question of that place called limbo which preacher Dawn tried lamely to obfuscate. To this day the Church has not repudiated this cruel and vicious story that has caused so many parents such pain and grief. I could go on and on, but it’s all very obvious that these fairy tales no longer work. The state of the Catholic church is dire and desperate, like Dawn herself.On another note, that beautiful girl Audrey was great. We need more women like her in the world to counter-balance these anti-sex, anti-female, anti-reason folks.We must be careful, we must bring change and we must work to end the rein of terror that these religious people have rained on the world for two thousand years. The snow-job is over. We’ve gotten out the limbo in Great Neck and can see the sun shine in California and Italy, warming up the darkness of our souls.You look beautiful, by the way. Love all the photos.Carlo
