Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality Happy Labia Day 2022! Labor Day became “Labia Day” for the FIRST TIME on this September 5, 2015 show live from Bonoboville on DrSuzy.Tv. Why Labia Day? Unlike May Day, Labor Day was never a truly authentic holiday for labor, aka the working class. So, we decided to read between the lines—and lips—of Labor Day to find a similar, onomatopoetic, but far more bonoboësque name for this early September day off from the daily grind, as I opened up my Womb Room for our very first Labia Day (puns intended)! Thus, a great, new holiday blossoms like a Georgia O'Keeffe flower in the verdant Garden of Bonoboville, as we celebrate those ubiquitous, but mysterious and always absolutely fabulous, fleshy doors to female pleasure and wonder… and labor. A lady's nether lips “go into labor,” along with the rest of her reproductive system, in giving birth. Other times, they tease, please, open, close, squirt and explode in orgasmic ecstasy.  It's particularly poignant to re-release this historic Dr. Susan Block Show celebrating female genitalia in all its glory, power (power to the labia!) and vulnerability, now in 2022, when sexuality is under attack and American women's Constitutional right to abortion has been ripped away from us by a radical right wing Supreme Court that probably never looked up-close at a nice pair of labia in their NeoPurtian lives. Little did we know the repressive future on our first Labia Day featuring the delightful Dayton Rains showing off her world-famous labia in multiple positions, expertly licking my lucky labia and, in that great U.S. presidential intern tradition, smoking a cigar through her labia! Dayton's exhibition inspires the rest of us to exhibit our own labia, along with the Wondrous Vulva Puppets, and a bottle of yummy Kinky Liqueur incorporated into our traditional Bonoboville Communion rites. Our First Labia Day also features Biz Bonobo, Chelsea, Ikkor the Wolf, Luzer Twersky and his puppy (no, not her labia). Of course, Youtube, which is not Labia-Positive, won't let us show you our labia. So this version is heavily censored.  But you might enjoy the slideshow of PG images from Labia Day mixed with our friendly advertisements. I know, it's not the same. So, if you love labia, I suggest you watch the First Labia Day uncensored here (youtube also won't let us provide links, so you have to figure it out): https://drsusanblock.com/labia-day Need to talk PRIVATELY?

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality We broadcast “GasMaskGirl Summer Kink” live during the very hot summer of 2018, though it's now hotter than ever. Looking into my crystal ball, I predict everyone will soon be masking up, and now here we are. At the time, I felt we were inhaling the toxic ashes of an incinerating civilization, so we'd all need gasmasks just to breathe. Covid is a little different—germ warfare waged by Mother Nature against us for destroying her—and we're in facemasks instead of gasmasks—but still it's a very prescient show! It's also a very sexy, funny show featuring latex-clad GasMaskGirl's Coralee Summers, cute “Buddha Ho” pornstar Eva Yi (father from China & mother from Taiwan, showing they can get along!), wry Philly comic Lamar D. Sol,  sensuous sexual healer Shana Lay, hot model Larissa and Bonoboville's favorite rapper Ikkor the Wolf, plus a surprise visit from award-winning actor Luzer Twersky. It's quite a varied bunch, but we all get along like bonobos—chatting, stripping, OTK spanking, dancing, foot fetish fun, ice cube play, bondage, boob therapy, latex, Bonoboville Communion, telling funny stories and arguing. Hey, conflict is the spice of life. The key is to resolve conflicts in peace through pleasure. It's the Bonobo Way. For the most part, sex is “sustainable” pleasure, especially when you compare engaging in sexual activity with other human pleasures, like food, driving, sailing, flying, gaming and just about everything else we do for fun. I'm talking recreational not procreational sex which is actually at the root of a lot of human problems. Too many people. No offense to all the beautiful people and their spoiled kids, but Mother Earth is hemorrhaging from the weight of all the teeming, gas-guzzling, plastic-using humans—more than when we did this show! We also spank our surrogate tRumpy—gagged on the Russian flag!—for his Space Farce, among other things and we cheer AOC for supporting sex workers' rights, predicting (also correctly) that she will win her seat in Congress. Also on display: a tRump Puppy Pee Pad by the artist Jeffrey Vallance. #GoBonobos Of course, we have to censor this version for Youtube.

The Dr Susan Block Show

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality Like anyone with a brain, we're going insane from Putin's Rape of Ukraine. Of course, our poetic angst is nothing compared to the Ukrainian people being attacked by this power-mad bully. Trumpty Dumpty calling Putin a “genius” is just one bully impressed by a bigger bully. As always, we're for peace, love and The Bonobo Way, though we admire the Ukrainians' passionate resistance to tyranny. Putin claims that Ukraine is run by “drug addicts and Nazis,” but their President is a Jewish Comedian. Putin's unprovoked attack has turned Volodymyr Zelensky, the “Little Yiddishe Comic Who Could,” into a remarkable real-world leader, and the joke is on Putin. Sort of. Who knows how the whole horrific situation will evolve or (more likely) devolve? By the time you listen to this podcast, all the news could change—hopefully to peace and diplomacy… with good sex for all—especially Putin, who seems to need some nookie… gagged and straitjacketed. Though it could all go the other (nuclear) way…yikes! To help us make “sense” of the crisis, joining Capt'n Max and me on the “Ukraine Love Train” is multiple SUZY award winner Luzer Twersky, recently in Ukraine making “Dovbush,” a film in which he plays the Baal Shem Tov, founder of the Hasidic movement, giving us a very intense, personal glimpse into what is happening in Ukraine right now, updating us with friends' messages & Telegram newsflashes. Sorry this show is more about war than love, though we do talk wartime sex, makeup sex and sex workers in Ukraine -  plus NATO's unsexy “Poking the Bear” provocations. Also, it opens quite lasciviously, with Max spilling his beer in a gush of foam.  And our anthem is still: “Make KINK Not War!”  Speaking of which, thank you Xbiz for a nice review of  KINK: Another Guide for the Perplexed (with apologies to Maimonides). And don't miss my State of the Sexual Union address 2022. Of course, that other State of the Union is important, but so is sex, love and the antiwar Bonobo Way of peace through pleasure.   Being antiwar is not an easy position right now, with almost everyone salivating to fight “the Russians.” It was not easy during Vietnam (ask Jane Fonda), nor the first Iraq War, nor right after 9/11, but we were antiwar then and we are antiwar now. We were proven right then, and we are right again: War is NOT the answer. Maybe kink will save the day. Putin once claimed (absurdly) that there are no gays in Russia, so perhaps the shock of seeing that the Ukranian military is tracking Russian troop movements by monitoring Grindr will awaken this foolish imperialist bully from his toxic war trance.

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality It's Easter Eve as our Love Train leaves the station, so we crack open an Easter egg of revelations regarding “The Resurrection” of Jesus, Persephone, Osiris, Dionysus/Bacchus, Spring and you. Yes, YOU. Want to resurrect your erection—or just your general lust for life… and the afterlife? Listen Springing from the glories of Gospel heaven to the depths of Christian hell, we tell the cautionary tale of Oklahoma Pastor David Evans' cuckold “love triangle” that started in a Super 8 Motel and ended in a murder with the victim's own gun. If you're interested in cuckolding, listen up and learn what NOT to do! As this tragic killing, the Massage Parlor Massacre and so many others demonstrate, we need gun control—for police as well as civilians. Nevertheless, a murder weapon can be just a knee on the neck of a handcuffed prisoner struggling to breathe, as evidenced by the sadistic policing that took George Floyd's life, now on display in the harrowing trial of Derek Chauvin. For comic relief, we have Gaetz-Gate, wherein Far-Right Buffoon Matt Gaetz tries to drag fellow Far-Right Buffoon Tucker Carlson into his own sleazy circus of sex scandal. We love to see one of Drumpf's favorite and most obnoxious punks take a pratfall for any reason, though we're not judging his sexual behavior until more facts emerge. When a Cuomosexual listener wants us to weigh in on the New York Governor's scandals, all we can say is he must be thanking Jesus this Easter for the heavenly distraction of Gaetz-gate. In light of the most recent “gender reveal” tragedy, Capt'n Max, Unscene Abe, Mariah and I deplore the multi-tiered stupidities of gender reveal parties, from jinxing your future child's sexuality to setting your neighborhood on fire. We then take a slight detour into movie-reviewing two new “buddy films,” one being our friend and “Funniest Fundamentalist Refugee” Suzy Award winner Luzer Twersky's star turn in the soon-to-be-released “No Name Restaurant” (about an Orthodox Jew and Bedouin's unlikely friendship forged in the desert), and the other being Eric Andre's Candid-Camera-ish “Bad Trip” (the Chinese finger trap scene reminds me of male bonobos resolving conflict through “penis fencing”). How are “buddy films” like these, focused on male-male bonding as opposed to male-female relationships, connected with Jesus and all those male-bonding Apostles? Was/Is Jesus bi? Aren't we all… at least somewhat? It's just sexo-theological speculation; all I know for sure is that I love my Jesus Jackhammer dildo, one of the stars of our post-show bacchanal, “Easter Eve DTEASE Res-Erection on DrSuzy.Tv,” which also features Unlicensed Professionals Cat Imperio (the “Anal Artist”) and Samantha Fairley, Dayton Rains, sexy trans pornstar Chelsea Marie and amazing glam-punk sex-rock band The DTease (don't miss it)! We also gear up for next week's 29th wedding anniversary ride on the Love Train and, speaking of railroad romance, we're excited for Biden's plan to pump billions into public transportation infrastructure—including trains. Woo hoo and choo-choo! Yo Joe, we know you've got an Amtrak fetish, but how about throwing a bit of those billions to the F.D.R. Love Train? Want more? Can't get enough of that Easter Eve stuff?
