Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality
Our YouTube Channel was just zapped—15 years of peace, love, bonobos, art, music, history and sex education—erased by Alphabet bots with all the humanity of the letters #AI which might stand for “Artificial Intelligence,” but in reality, it’s Artificial Ignorance. So suddenly, without warning, Pr. Maximillian Lobkowicz #Filangieri's & My video memories of a decade and a half were destroyed, our voices silenced, #ballgagged, #muzzled like a dog, banished from the YouTube commons, the public square of modern human discourse. We’re in shock but not surprised, as #censorship is on the march throughout social media (YT zapped Abby Martin’s wonderful RT videos a few months ago), having long muzzled Mainstream Media, and though we are bloodied by YouTube owner Google’s #evil attack, we are unbowed. Yes “evil” - Google’s now-discarded “Don’t Be Evil” motto was just lipstick on a greedy pig. Is there a chance of resurrection? Not being billionaires or big celebrities, not likely, but we spend a portion of this #podcast trying to properly pronounce YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki’s name as we beseech her to take a look at our channel and into her heart and “do the right thing”. Weirdly, the one-word reason given us for our summary execution is #harassment not saying whom or what we allegedly “harassed,” let alone allowing us to face our accuser in any kind of court—but simply dumb-bot droning our 15-year-old channel, condemned without trial to “permanent” death. Fortunately, WE are not dead, and we vow to keep fighting for #FreeSpeech and all of our sexy, lefty, pro-bonobo causes, wherever and whenever we can, with a song in our hearts, laughter on our lips and a little excitement in our undies. Speaking of life and death, we say RIP to Tortuguita, the peaceful environmental activist shot dead by police in Atlanta’s Cop City. We also shout-out Mae West who was often censored in her times help newly single Samantha, aka “Posh Proletariat Spice,” with dating advice, and Wally calls in to sympathize with our #YouTubeCensorship woes, which weigh so heavy we forget to say Happy Chinese New Year. It’s the Year of the Rabbit so let’s hop on the Motorbunny and do our best to break through the tightening muzzle of censorship in 2023.

Strap yourself in or strap one on, and listen in on this wide-ranging wild ride on the Love Train. We begin with a couple of endings, saying RIP to old friend and filmmaker Michele Capozzi, as well as Lisa Marie Presley, American Rock Royalty, dead at 54, victim of cardiac arrest and toxic celebrity. Lifting the skirts of British #ToxicRoyalty, Prince Harry’s “Spare” might just help to “abolish the monarchy,” or at least take it down a peg (pun intended for William, Prince of Pegging who sounds like a royal pain in the butt). I am NOT a fan of Pr. Harry killing 25 people, though to be fair, his toxic family has killed, colonized and enslaved hundreds of millions more. Toxic celebrity takes many forms, from royal poison to political/sexual conspiracy theories that take our hungry imaginations down rabbitholes like Pizzagate, revived like a stale slice of pepperoni by Callin’er Brady, tortured by visions of heinous sex crimes perpetrated by “elites,” all of whom are in bed with Balenciaga and on a plane with Jeffrey Epstein (dead or alive). My view: whether or not they’re committing sex crimes, ALL of these “elites” are committing war crimes, economic crimes and climate crimes—as well as ANTI-sex crimes, like deleting women’s reproductive rights. Brady also requests my sexological analyst of incel hero, Jordan Peterson’s “wet dream” about his grandmother; don’t miss it! But the sexiest story of this show is not a fantasy. It’s Tennessee #PoliceOrgies! Hey, better for cops to have consensual sex with each other than harass and murder innocent citizens. Too bad most of the kinky cops got fired, especially the gal at the center (with six male officers), Maegen Hill. At least her hubby (a cuckold?) is staying; maybe they’ll start a cop fetish OnlyFans! Just as we’re wondering how many orgies are in Tennessee, Cornelius calls in from Tennessee to say there are a LOT more orgies than we might think. AND his police officer cousin attends them in uniform driving his cop car. Birthday shoutout to Mal, aka Kenneth Malcomb Jones, supporter of the Bonobo Female Empowerment Project—who just turned 90 years old! Go Bonobos in 2023!

It’s the birth of a new year, but also the death of a good friend, Capt’n Max’s former partner in revolutionary publishing, radio, art and adventure, Willem de Ridder. Willem just passed away (we hear from Covid), so we say farewell to this great artist, storyteller, publisher, radio and TV producer, FLUXUS art movement leader, and founder of SUCK, the first European erotic magazine, featuring luminaries such as Germaine Greer, a copy of which found its way around the world and into the hands of another young publisher named Maximillian R. Lobkowicz, aka Mickey Leblovic.
When Willem met Mickey, the two began a great friendship and collaboration, publishing some of the most innovative sex magazines, Love, Hate, Finger, God, Annie Sprinkle’s Hot Sh*t, The Sprinkle Report, The Ladies Room, the LA Star and more. On this show, we talk about their life and work together, the history of underground publishing in LA, as well as their “pirate” radio shows in Italy and work with many great artists and adult stars like Annie Sprinkle who was Willem’s lover for a time. Together, they traveled through Europe and America, making art, getting busted (22 times!) and publishing “reader-written” magazines that changed the world.
Yes, changed the world. Now, with social media, 90% of what most of us read is “reader-written,” but back in the Swinging ‘70s, it was unusual if not blasphemous to publish the prose, photos and art of readers—not professionals—with virtually no editing or judgment. An amazing, if unheralded accomplishment for our Max and the late great #WillemDeRidder.
Though most of this show is one wild De Ridder story after another, we manage to squeeze in shoutouts to our beloved SUZY award winners; Louisiana demanding ID to view erotica; Prince Harry getting spanked by a cougar; Julian Assange, still tragically imprisoned for practicing journalism; Ron Jeremy declared “incompetent” to stand trial due to dementia; and to the MAGAts in Congress creating the political chaos they are paid by their oligarchical sponsors to create. #GoBonobos in 2023! Make Kink Not War!

Honoring excellence in broadcast artistry and exhibitionism, erotic performance, pro-sex politics and Weapons of Mass Seduction, celebrating The Bonobo Way of peace through pleasure in all kinds of weather, for the 11th consecutive year…
It’s the SUZYs 2022!
Well before XBIZ, the AVNs, the TEAs, the Oscars, Critics Choice, the Grammies, the Tonys, the Emmys, the BAFTAs, NAACP, XRCO, SAG and MTV #awards and the Golden Globes trot out their awards, we are here to acknowledge the best and worst of 2022 with the DrSusanBlock.tv Awards, a.k.a., “The SUZYS.”
Are YOU a winner?
So… Merry Xmas, Sexmas, Festivus AND a Happy Hanukkah (it’s the 7th night when we broadcast live), Happy Kwanza, Happy Pancha Ganapati, Io Saturnalia, Merry Winter Solstice, Happy Whatever You Celebrate 2022 AND a Happy Nude Rear! We’re looking up the ass of the past year! And I haven’t even gotten to the Prince of Pegging award.
In a way, the SUZYs are the Anti-Award Awards. Our goal, as always (besides having a cum-ton of fun), is to advance the noble cause of sex education—more important than ever, as we face draconian crackdowns on sexual speech and activity by Big Tech and our Supreme Court Injustices. We also aim to inspire better erotica and pro-sex political activism, as well as to save the real bonobos from extinction and support a more bonoboësque, Make Love Not War, Make Kink Not War ethos in the world.
As is traditional for The SUZYs, we do not invite the winners, or anyone at all to the award show, so don’t worry, you didn’t miss out! Just sit back by the yuletide fire, pour yourself a flute of champagne, smoke a doobie, relax, cheer for The Best, boooo The Worst and enjoy the #SUZY awards….
Honorable mention goes to the one Callin caller who manages to squeeze onto this #SUZYaward-packed live broadcast, providing a very sex-educational lesson in religious hypocrisy!
Peace on Earth. Pleasure for All. Amen. Awomen. And a Happy Nude Rear!

From sexy highs to stormy lows, we ride the turbulence of the holiday season. Still high from my incredible “Dosed” interview with the marvelous Abby Martin & Mike Prysner, I hop on FDR with Capt’n Max, & we roar through Saturnalia with a new release of our orgiastic broadcast from exactly 17 years ago, “XXXmas Saturnalia 2005,” tracing Xmas’ bacchanalian history, wishing, as always, for Peace on Earth & Pleasure for All.
But the evil Krampus—& Antiochus—are never far… and there’s always that nagging Hanukkah worry: Who wants to kill all the Jews NOW? In Hanukkah 2022, that’s easy: Ye (Oy Ye!), aka Kanye or “Con Ye” trying to con us into thinking he’s a misunderstood genius, or poor lonesome bipolar cuckold Incel for Christ… when he’s just an garden variety anti-Semite. Con Ye buddy Nick Fuentes is so incel, he’s volcel, & proclaims that having heterosexual sex is gay. FYI: Judaism & Zionism are not at all the same, & it really hurts Jews for Palestine like me when idiots like Con Ye & Volcel Fuentes conflate the two.
We also say farewell to amazing Twin Peaks composer Angelo Badalamenti & honor International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. But the most exciting & unsettling part of the show is what makes it a “sonata,” expressing the rage under the surface of holiday cheer with “conflict instead of continuity, ultimately deriving its impact from the explosive power of tonal organization (definition of “sonata”). The center of the storm is Heidi, a conspiracy theory lover who says she’s not into conspiracy theories, but instantly starts spouting one about the Clintons in Arkansas. Max gets mad, Heidi gets banned, I get unsettled, & if you get vicarious thrills from the unfiltered sounds of fresh marital discord live-on-the-air, this show’s for you! It’s also great radio for other reasons, & we eventually make-up, the Bonobo Way, with a lot of good sex & bananas. Max also predicts his friend Joe will drop all charges against Julian Assange. All Saturnalian conflicts aside, this is our Solstice wish. And speaking of drama, a couple LA Sheriff’s deputies were caught having sex on the radio. Assuming it was consensual, I’d rather they have sex than shoot us, wouldn’t you?

Hop aboard FDR as we celebrate the release of my roundtable at Yale and Brittney Griner’s release from Russian jail, and we continue our search for the “Sexual Grail,” riding the rails of the Bonobo Trail. Midway through, Capt’n Max and I pick up the charming “Heidi” as we make these stops (and more) along the trail:• At the Arcadia City Council holiday party, I got a hug from outgoing Mayor Tom Beck, patron saint of Santa Anita horseracing and King of the Kangaroo Court that’s been harassing Bonoboville!• LA City Council’s party was even worse with Santa-capped Councilmember Kevin de Leon physically assaulting Jason Reedy!• Santa Anita Racetrack’s 2024 “Breeder’s Cup” gives me dystopian nightmares of pregnant handmaids racing to see who can give birth to the most unwanted children first… which unfortunately arouses some commenters, like the descriptively named "Gerbil Hung," though his silly fantasies are nowhere near as bad as the all-too-real Supreme Court-ordered spaying of women’s rights.• Why anxiety should be channeled through consenting adult kink—not legislation. Eroticize, don’t politicize, your fetishes!• Why I love-hate those #Yale elites.• Trying to pick a 2022 SUZY award winner for “Worst Yale Grad”—but there are so many! Bush? Alito? Kavanaugh? DeSantis?• From Forced Breeding to Forced Feeding!• From Britney Spears in 2021 to Brittney Griner in 2022, we’re freeing Brittneys everywhere!• It’s my half-birthday, and a good present (Joe, ya listening?) would be to free Julian Assange, Leonard Peltier and so many more… but tRump-for-Jail—please! • From the Prison Industrial Complex to YouTube Jail to banishment to mental jails, and now if you have consenting-adult premarital sex in Indonesia, you could go to jail.• And let's not forget Mr. Yale-to-Jail: Oathkeepers founder Stewart Rhodes!• Our continuing search for the “Sexual Grail” of orgasm takes us to the clitoris, Mother of (Almost) All Female Orgasms• Republican Independent Counsels couldn’t nail Bill Clinton for any of his so-called crimes in Arkansas, so they nailed him for getting nailed.• One more half-birthday wish: Peace on Earth. Pleasure for All. As the Megamachine forces us down the road of endless conflict and consumption, let’s switch lanes to the Love Train on the #Bonobo Trail, the path of sharing simple consensual pleasures, wherever we can.

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & SexualityJoin me at Yale for my 45th class reunion as I frolic among the Ivy Towers with Capt’n Max and the Eli Elite, Handsome Dan XIV, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s classmates (Class of 1987) rallying against him and Sam Alito (Yale Law, 1975) at the Women’s Table, and my fabulous fellow #Yale Alumni at the Yale Repertory Theater, Yale Law School, Cross Campus, Toad’s Place and more. I also host a Yale Roundtable discussion on “Peace, Love & Bonobos" which is the centerpiece of this video.Discussion Topics: • Why we prefer King Arthur’s ROUNDtable to Putin’s long table; • Why Yale’s “Killer Ape” Anthropology department made we want to major in Theater; • How Max and I fell in love over our mutual opposition to the popular and horrible first Gulf War, commanded by President George H.W. Bush (Yale, 1948); • How our love and antiwar fervor grew during the even more horrible wars in Iraq and Afghanistan commanded by George W. Bush (Yale, 1968); • How George W. Bush’s epic Freudian slip confusing Putin’s invasion of Ukraine with his own invasion of Iraq brought the perma-war full circle;• Why I become a sexologist; • How I first learned about #bonobos the Make Love Not War great apes, on PBS, and then met some at the San Diego Zoo; • What are some of the differences between apes and monkeys;• How human apes are very close genetically to bonobos, common chimps, gorillas and orangutans;• How bonobos make peace through pleasure;• How bonobos make love in a Bonobo Sutra of positions, including face-to-face; • How bonobo female empowerment is supported by male well-being and vice versa; • Why bonobos (and humans) really enjoy sharing—even with strangers;• Was Prince Chim, who lived at Yale in the Dr. Robert Yerkes primate center, the first bonobo in the United States?• What’s SEX got to do with bonobo conflict resolution?• Why other apes kill each other, and humans kill each other most;• “Grooming” in primatology vs. the culture wars; • Why bonobo female orgasm is most common during Hoka Hoka, aka genito-genital rubbing; • Intercourse vs. Outercourse among bonobos and humans; • Our competitive “inner chimp” vs. our cooperative “inner bonobo”;• Nature vs. Nurture and how a bunch of baboons went bonobos; • Primatologists Dr. Frans de Waal, Dr. Richard Wrangham, Dr. Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods on bonobos and Dr. Robert Sapolsky on baboons; • Food-sharing and “sex work” among bonobos;• Tool use and communication among bonobos and common chimps;• The benefits and drawbacks of Zoos; • The Lysistrata method vs. the Bonobo Way;• Yale’s Puritan origins;• Sex toys, sex education and the Religious Right;• The true story of the rise & fall of Sex Week at Yale (SWAY), created by Yale students and destroyed by false accusations from well-financed Christofascist forces, including Focus on the Family, and an ex-Yale President’s desire for a scapegoat for the unrelated-to-SWAY bad behavior of powerful Yale fraternities; • Why anti-abortion laws amount to forced breeding; • Why I’m against all wars of my lifetime, from America’s War in Vietnam, that I protested pre-Yale, to our current war in Ukraine. Yes, Putin started it, just as Bush invaded Iraq, but we (and NATO) continue it, and now is time for peace negotiations; • Why bonobos should be part of Peace Studies courses at Yale and other universities;• How our ammosexual society channels our natural sex drive into violence to the benefit of the weapons industry, the military, the prison system and the police;• “Make Kink Not War: Be Bonobo” and the Bonobo Way makes its way from our Bonoboville Reunion with Vice to DomCon 2022 to Yale; • How to avoid catching COVID at all these reunions;• How New Haven humidity messes with my hair;• Why bonobos are highly endangered and how we can help save them from extinction (so they can help us save ourselves!): Donate to Lola ya Bonobo, Friends of Bonobos, the Bonobo Conservation Initiative.• #GoBonobos for Bulldogs… Boola Boola!• Music: Yale Harkness Tower Bells; The Whiffenpoofs (Yale, 1977); Dr. Oscar Hills (Yale, 1977) on Banjo; Bales-Gitlin Band (Ginny Bales and Jay Gitlin) - “Disco Inferno” & “Johnny B. Goode”Read more prose & see the photos: https://drsusanblock.com/yale-2022

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality
Most major religions preach “Be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28). But what if human reproductive sex is destroying life on Earth? Are recent political and religious campaigns to exalt and increase human reproduction through procreation pressures & forced breeding—even as human population rises, along with intensifying climate catastrophes—racist, misogynist, selfish, greedy, diabolical or just plain dumb?
Is there an alternative? Could channeling our multi-splendored sex drives into various types of erotic recreation—as opposed to procreation—be a better, more sustainable way—the Bonobo Way? If we could just put our erotophobia aside… wouldn’t we & all the living things be better off if more of us released our inner bonobos & expressed our sex drives through consenting-adult recreational pleasures like kink, outercourse, gay sex & sharing peace through pleasure—instead of ammosexual gun culture, perma-war, cutthroat competition, insatiable consumption & having huge, unsustainable, resource-consuming, trash-producing families?
Overpopulation is real. When Capt’n Max was born 11/8/1943, the world human population was 1.5 billion. Exactly 70 years later, the population clock struck 8 billion. Unfortunately, the Earth is still the same size! Of course, the Rightwing has its own way of reducing population: sell everybody guns, make a profit, & let ‘em shoot each other. The Left’s way is more humane—at least rhetorically—but no fun. My way is #TheBonoboWay of peace through pleasure, ecosexual sustainability & fun, as we explore on this show…
We also take a couple calls, from 1) “Obsolete” currently residing in his mom’s basement, but not an incel; he’s been a “volcel” (voluntary celibate)… until now! & 2) Brady, rejecting the violent ways of his military family, says he now “loves” the Bonobo Way & his “new favorite show,” FDR… “it’s cool as hell!”
We also address Elon Musk turning Twitter Rightwing, Hunter Biden’s Laptop Let-Down, Oy Ye-in-a-Hood & Neo-Nazi-to-the-Stars Nick Fuentes praising Hitler like Jesus, & continuing to complain about “the Jews,” leaving us to parse: who are “the Jews” & what can the rest of humanity blame us for? Not that I take that blame, but I do take the opportunity to say: Free Palestine! And Free Assange! This week, a bunch of media said what we’ve said for 10 years: Imprison the war criminals, not the journalists who tell the truth about war. Make KiNK Not War, you war porn lovers! Beware the Trumpus & a very Merry Kinky Krampus to all!
