BLOCK PARTY

LOS ANGELES - Take an old-but renovated-1920s speakeasy, with a large bar, erotic art gallery, performance space and TV studio. Add several hundred partygoers representing the adult industry, the Internet adult community, and various hangers-on and friends of friends who heard about it during Erotica LA at the Convention Center around the corner. Mix well and stand back.

That was the recipe for the CyberStars of the New Millennium party at Dr. Susan Block's speakeasy/studio/salon on Hope Street in downtown Los Angeles. While Dr. Block conducted interviews in her well-lighted bed in the TV studio area, the party was blasting away with people lined up three deep at the open bar, noshing on finger foods in the erotic art gallery, and hopping into the elevated bed in the performance space to be Webcast right next to the two-turntable DJ setup. Two women jumped at the chance to be in dildo artist Ray Cirino's outsize cello, one sitting high at the top, one suspended upside-down at the bottom, both with their backsides poking through holes in the front, penetrated by ebony-toned dildos connected to the cello strings that were bowed by concertmaster Cirino as they made beautiful music together.

The party was a celebration of Web Power's iFriends.net Internet site, represented by Ira Weston and his wife Marsha, formally clad in tuxedo and evening gown, but not out of place among the more-casually-dressed partygoers.

Contacted later by e-mail, Dr. Block called the evening "…an exciting mix of artists and exhibitionists, voyeurs and connoisseurs, porn stars and professors, cybersexpots and computer technoids-all celebrating, merrymaking and sharing their talents in art, music, dance, theater, fashion, conversation and sex. Our CyberStars of the New Millennium event really illustrated the fusion of the three potent arenas of sex, art and technology in one spectacular Saturday night."

Rumor has it that the wait was two hours to get in at one point, but nobody dared go outside to check. Among those who did get in were Julian St. Jox, Valentino, Eric Price and Jill Kelly (all cooling their heels in line with Your Faithful Correspondent on the Hope Street sidewalk before we got in at 11:15), Mark Zane, Jacklyn Lick, Erotica LA impressario Ron Miller and galpal Brooke Hunter, Mickey G., Nancy Vee, Amia Moré, and about 500 other people whose names I didn't get.

Dr. Suzy & Dr. Laura Face Off in Celebrity Sleuth

Check out this month's issue of Celebrity Sleuth for "Pair O'Docs," uncovering "feuding Ph.D. therapists" Dr. Susan Block and Dr. Laura Schlessinger in a sensational eight-page spread/review. Though usually the Sleuth strives to remain neutral, in this particular doctoral-philosophical duel, the magazine comes out strongly against Dr. Laura's "strident…cruel and bullying" approach to sex and relationships, and solidly on the side of Dr. Suzy's "sensual spirit…modern philosophy of Ethical Hedonism and hatred of hypocrisy." For background on the feud, see Dr. Suzy's Dr. Laura Diaries.

Welcomehttp://www.drsusanblock.com/Dr.%20Suzy 

to my little 1400-page corner of the World Wide Web.  Here is where I, with the help of   my webmaster and the rest of the Bonobo Gang here at the Dr. Susan Block Institute, explore and express human sexuality in all its glory, danger, fun and foolishness.  This is not your typically dull sex information site, nor your typically tasteless porn site, nor your typically self-obsessed celebrity site.  This site will touch you where no other site dares to touch you.  Here, you will find a variety of high and lowbrow approaches to the many-splendored aspects of human sexuality, including philosophical texts, personal diaries, explicit artworks, raunchy photos,  essays on politics, culture and religion, a radio station where you can hear live and archived episodes of The Dr. Susan Block Show, psychological surveys, erotic art galleries, down-to-earth romantic advice, handy sex tips, dirty jokes, erotic haute couture, fetishwear, kinky paraphernalia, information on bonobos, vintage erotica, book, film, theater, art and travel reviews, excerpts from our own books and magazines, behind-the-scenes shots from our HBO show, stills from our videos, and an eye-opening look into what really goes on inside the Dr. Susan Block Institute at the voluptuous Villa Piacere in the Hollywood Hills.  At the heart of all of the wild-and-crazy and supremely sane things that we do here is our philosophy of Ethical Hedonism: the pursuit and cultivation of life's pleasures, while trying not to hurt anyone, including ourselves, for the peaceful betterment of the individual, the couple, the family and society.   We're civic-minded sexualists.  We're also equal-opportunity exploiters.  We're pro- black, yellow, brown, red, white and especially pink.  We're pro-evolution and revolution (well, certain revolutions).  http://www.drsusanblock.com//Dr.%20Suzy%20on%20the%20Mic  We're up against sexual ignorance and the Dr. Laura's and Rush Limbaugh's of the world.  We follow the Bonobo Way of peace through pleasure.  We have fun in the face of madness, tragedy, repression and death.  And we are at your service as you go through our domains.  Peruse, enjoy and download to your heart's content.  We update various parts of the site every day, so check in on us from time to time.  And please, interact with us.  Leave us your comments.  Call us if you need help (During the week, we charge for it.  On Saturday nights during the show, we don't), or if you'd like to help us with what we're doing.  Send us your photos and writings.  Buy something from us; that's a great way to interact.  I'd really love to hear from you, but even if I never do, I'm glad to be here with you now as your adventure begins....
