NATURAL HIGHS 

I GO TO EXTREMES 

By Cowboi Jen 

They call me Cowboi. 

and the name fits. I am 

your average Philadelphian, 

but on the 

weekends I put away my 

work clothes, put on my 

denim and boots, and saddle up my 

horse. I am one of the top female 

competitors in the country on the 

International Gay Rodeo Association 

(IGRA) circuit. And to think, 15 years 

ago I had never been to a rodeo, let 

alone considered competing in one. 

In 1992 I saw a poster in a downtown 

bar for the first Atlantic Stampede 

Rodeo in Maryland. I was 

quite intrigued, grabbed one of my 

friends, and we were off to D.C. for 

the weekend. 

I expected a weekend filled with 

dancing and cheering on the rodeo 

competitors. That expectation 

ended when I was grabbed by a 

lady on the Friday night before the 

rodeo at the host hotel. I will never 

forget her arm on me and her yelling 

behind her, “I found one!” 

I asked her, “You found one 

what?” and I was told, “Never you 

mind, just come with me.” 

Two cowboys from Arizona needed 

a female for the Wild Drag Race. 

They tried explaining the event to 

me: it involves a real female, a real 

male and a third competitor dressed 

in women’s drag attire. The object 

is to get the steer – yes, I said steer 

– across the arena, and have the 

drag jump and straddle the steer 

while the other two competitors get 

the drag and steer across the finish 

line. Did I mention this is the gay 

rodeo circuit??? 

Well, I signed up with the guys 

and became a competitor at my 

very first rodeo. We won first place 

on both Saturday and Sunday, and 


much to my surprise there was prize 

money and a trophy buckle that 

went to the winners. 

I came back to Philadelphia with 

one hell of a story. Two men from 

Washington, D.C., called me up and 

asked me to compete with them at 

a rodeo finals in Arizona. I went and 

got hooked. I went to rodeo after 

rodeo all across the country, and at 

each one I learned a new skill. 

The most extreme thing I have 

ever experienced isn’t what I did, it is 

what I lived. In November 2001 I was 

diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Disease, 

stage IVB. The cancer was everywhere, 

including my bone marrow. 

I fought for a year, and finally the 

resolve hit that I needed a stem cell 

transplant to survive. 

Less then a month before my transplant 

I had gone to the doctors for a 

round of high-dose chemo to try to 

kill as much of the cancer as possible 

before my procedure, when the 

doctor came out and told me my 

counts were too low and the chemo 

had to be put off by a week. 

I jumped up and down with joy 

because the Atlantic Stampede 

rodeo was that upcoming weekend 

and I knew I would have the strength 

to compete. I packed up my bags 

and my horse and headed off to the 

rodeo. 

I entered seven events. I had never 

done 7 events healthy, let alone 

sick. The rodeo started off with calf 

roping, then my blessed chute doggin’. 

I remember holding my breath 

and using every ounce of strength I 

had just to finish the event. I called 

for the gate, and with lightning fast 

speed I brought the steer to the line 

and threw him down. I remember 

just lying there with all eyes on me. I 

had the strength to throw him down 

but couldn’t get back up. 

It was event after event over the 

weekend with pretty much the same 

results. I competed like I was possessed. 

The last event on the second 

day was the flag race. 

I was led to the entrance of the 

arena, and I found the last ounce of 

energy left in my body. I sat upright 

and stormed into the arena and 

finished that event. When my horse 

and I left the arena, I just collapsed 

on his neck. They untied me and 

lifted me down from his back. By 

completing that event I had won 

the All-Around Cowgirl title for the 

weekend. 

This win lifted my spirits and gave 

me the strength I needed to survive 

the transplant. I remember holding 

on to that all-around trophy buckle 

while I was at my sickest in the hospital 

and reliving the moments over 

and over. I once again found the 

strength to survive the extreme. 

I have now competed in more 

than 70 rodeos across the United 

States, and have more trophy buckles 

then even I can count. 

I recently have brought my love 

of the extreme to Philadelphia. I 

started up the Liberty Gay Rodeo 

Association, and we are planning on 

bringing the rodeo to Philadelphia 

in May 2008. Check us out at www. 

libertygra.org. 

My friends think I have a death 

wish with everything that I do. They 

couldn’t be more wrong. I thrive 

on the rush, and have never felt so 

alive. I have chosen to live life to he 

extreme! 


SOUND BITES 

Cruxshadows make Billboard Top Ten! 

September 

2006 saw goff 

idols stick it 

to the man! 

Major label executives 

must have snarfed their 

double lattes when 

they clicked on the Billboard 

Hot 100 Singles 

Sales chart and discovered 

that the country’s 

top selling debut single 

this week was from 

a goth band on an 

independent label in 

Philadelphia! “Sophia”, 

the brilliant brand 

new single from The Cruxshadows, was 

America’s top selling debut single on 

the Billboard sales charts this week, and 

snagged the #7 spot overall on the sales 

chart (P. Diddy’s new single made it to 

#9 -- better luck next time, Puff!)

Same-sex stork couples 

raise chicks 

Stewart Who, PlanetOut Network 

published Friday, May 26, 2006 

I 

n the latest example of homosexual 

activity among animals in captivity, 

same-sex stork couples at a zoo in 

Overloon, Holland, have delighted zoo 

workers by adopting and raising a number 

of chicks. 

A pair of lesbian storks were given 

two eggs to sit on, while a gay male 

couple was given one egg to nurture. 

Staff were unsure if the gay storks 

would have a natural urge to raise 

offspring, but were surprised to find the 

birds embraced parenthood. 

Wild animals usually express 

homosexual behavior in mating rituals, 

but the storks in Overloon are tenderly 

caring for and feeding their adopted 

chicks. 

Parc Overloon spokeswoman 

Esther Jansen said all three chicks had 

hatched successfully: “The gay storks 

look after the eggs and the chicks just 

as well as our heterosexual birds.” 


Yes, there is still sex 

(great sex!) after motherhood 

By Robyn Alezanders 

As any woman who has given 

birth can tell you, when that 

recommended eight to 12 

week waiting period is over 

and you resume sexual relations, it’s 

awkward. 

Never mind the changes to your 

breasts (especially if you’re nursing), 

waist and hips; your vaginal muscles 

have stretched far beyond accommodating 

a penis, and your insides still 

feel like they’ve been through a roller 

coaster. 

Gone are flexible and lengthy times 

to get sexed up; we now have sleep 

deprivation, weight issues, and smell like 

milk and baby spit-up. It’s absolutely no 

exaggeration to say having the opportunity 

to take a shower is an accomplishment. 

And if we can make it a bubble 

bath, then the house faeries have truly 

smiled. 

Forget about whether or not you 

should keep it hushed, now that there’s 

a little one. Forget about whether or not 

you can still do it in other parts of the 

house. You’ll work out concessions to 

your child’s bedroom proximity as he or 

she grows. You have to start somewhere, 

and that initiating moment is learning to 

preserve sexuality and having a newborn. 

Truthfully, I was a mess after I had my 

daughter. I did get hung up on what I 

looked like postpartum, and as much as 

I wanted to resume the sexual life I had 

before her, it wasn’t easy. While there 

are people who have sexual preferences 

and desires completely unlike what 

their social demeanor and/or appearance 

may suggest, I do believe that a 

certain degree of one’s innate sexuality 

corresponds to their character. I suddenly 

stopped being confident not only in 

private, but in public. I seemingly shifted 

from a very open and direct person to 

a frumpy shadow, carrying the title of 

motherhood with little else that entailed 

womanhood. 

Fast forward seven years, and I’ve just 

had a son. Four months after his birth, 

not only am I resuming sex, but it’s with a 

new lover. The self-assurance in my sexuality 

that had eventually returned has 

propelled me to get through sudden 

single parenthood, and live life. 

My new boyfriend says he understands 

that I’ve been through a lot, and 

it’s been quite some time sexually speaking. 

Maybe it was his patience in taking 

our first night slow, maybe it was his affirmation 

that I was indeed sexy. I felt sexy, 

and over a year later, still do, and fully 

embrace my sexuality unabashedly. 

Was I affected by the difference in 

my ex-husband’s and my boyfriend’s 

attitudes towards what I had become? 

Partly; a great deal though came from 

my own expectations, and how I didn’t 

need to erase enjoying myself with another 

from my responsibilities and love as 

a parent. 

There will be times when anticipated 

sexual feasts become quickies. When 

oils are needed to combat hormonal 

dryness, and different positions are necessary 

for comfort. When the yoga pants 

and tank top you’re seduced in not only 

substitutes for fetish wear, but also happens 

to be exactly what you’ve worn all 

day. It takes a while to adapt, but does 

it lessen the fun? 

Only if you allow it to. Tackling the piledup 

dishes in the sink? Test out a kitchen 

chair? Changing the linens? Never too 

late to hang handcuffs or scarves. 

Taking baby out for a stroll to the playground? 

Wear a skirt, and if baby falls 

asleep, take advantage of discreet 

hand explorations. 

And while you’re on that stroll, stop by 

your favorite sex and lingerie shops. Use 

the turning phase of motherhood to remind 

yourself of everything that defines 

you – a particular CD, a crossword puzzle, 

a new pair of fishnet stockings … 


TOPPING FROM THE WOMB 

By MARTINE PICARD 

There is a new master in my life. He 

is ego driven and demanding. I 

serve his every desire with great 

pleasure. Since the day he 

came into my life, this little man has 

been pushing me to the most blissful 

limits. Recently we celebrated his very 

first birthday. 

It never occurred to me while I would 

play and explore my boundaries, that 

one-day the things I learned about subspace 

and how to enjoy intense physical 

sensations might be called upon to 

give birth to my son. 

We gave birth at home, underwater 

and un-anaesthetized. 

There was no safe word. 

Since I was a tween I have known a 

few things. I have known who I am. I 

have known unusual desires, which I 

wished to embrace. I have known I was 

a person who wanted to feel all of life. 

As an adult, I explored the corners of 

my sexuality and found a personal challenge 

there to embrace pain and learn 

to fly with it. 

When we began our journey to decide 

how and where we would give birth, a 

few things were key. I wanted 

to 


PHOTO BY EVI NUMEN 

PHOTO BY EVI NUMEN 

have my child without drugs. I didnt 

want him to be born into hospital sterility 

and cold confusion. I also hoped to 

have the chance to experience intensity 

unmatched by any other experience 

in life. Those wishes were fulfilled. 

What we discovered on our path 

eventually lead us towards midwifery 

at home. We learned that our choice 

to home birth would also give our son 

a great developmental advantage, as 

he would not be born into anesthesia 

sickness. It would also allow my body to 

ride the endorphins and do what it was 

biologically designed to do. 

I realized that I would have a rare opportunity 

in my life to feel a gift of truly 

uncontrollable intensity. I wanted to experience 

it bravely and fully. 

We did our homework. Encouraged 

by my partner, we found a team of midwives 

with both medical training and life 

experience. These wise women held 

our hands through our pregnancy and 

our birth. 

When the day came, my partner 

held and supported me while I rode the 

heightening waves for eight hours. 

Time folded into itself like a Jacobs 

ladder. I pushed and gutturally 

hollered. I dug down deep inside 

and called upon the whale song 

of the generations of women 

who came before me (including 

my own mother) who gave 

birth without drugs. I squatted 

and squeezed out HE, who 

had been residing inside me, 

in my dark wet womb. I released 

him ecstatically into 

a warm birthing tub where 

he was caught by his fathers 

strong waiting hands. We 

raised him above the water, 

where he softly and 

sweetly drew his first magical 

breath. 

Our hearts, which had 

beat as one, softly realized 

that we were now two. When our umbilical 

was done pulsing, we knew it was 

finally time for us to be physically separated. 

Our house, already a buzz with friends 

and family who came to celebrate our 

birth, exploded in joy and shared experience. 

I will never forget the passion of the 

greatest moment of joy in my life. 

I hope our story helps to give some of 

you who are considering un-anesthetized 

birth the courage and company 

to embrace the challenge. 

Enjoy your birth, and the unparalleled 

flight you will experience along with it But 

don’t forget, there will be no safe word.

TALKING TO THE KIDS… 

Discussing the “birds and bees” with kids can be 

awkward for all parties concerned. 

But PASSIONAL has a few resources to help: 

The first book in a series, 

The Adventures of 

Trixie and Dinkidoo is a 

fanciful romp through 

one girl’s discovery of 

masturbation. Full of 

savvy-sweet storytelling 

and deceptively innocent 

illustrations, it’s a self-love 

affair you won’t want to 

miss, and neither will the 

pre-adolescents in your life 

A Kids First Book About Sex 

is not nearly as interactive 

as the original Playbook 

version by sex ed pioneer 

Joani Blank. However, it 

is filled with information 

written in the language

Brand 

new 

pooper: 

My first 

colon 

cleanse 

By Ryan goldner 

Have you ever had that “not so fresh” 

feeling? 

Well, I have. I had been feeling bloated, 

uncomfortable after eating, and 

wasn’t having much luck losing weight. I 

had heard about colon cleansing in the 

past, but never seriously thought about 

trying it until I saw an intriguing show 

on Lifetime about it. The documentary 

talked about famous people who had 

great experiences with colon cleansing, 

including Star Jones, Paula Abdul and 

Ricki Lake. So I figured if a hose up your 

ass was good enough for Star Jones, it 

was good enough for me! 

I found a holistic health center off of 

South Street and made my first appointment. 

The fee was $90 for the first session, 

but I decided to splurge and have 

a day of inner beauty. I was instructed 

that the day before the appointment 

to have two salads, one with lunch and 

one with dinner. In the dinner salad, 

I needed to add one tablespoon of 

cooked corn; this is invaluable in determining 

the transit time of food through 

your system. 

The technician was very pleasant, 

and first gave me a colon cleansing 101 

course. She explained how toxic waste 

builds up in our colons through poor 

nutrition and bowel habits. This waste 

impairs the colon’s ability to assimilate 

properly the minerals and vitamins we 

need. A buildup of material along the 

colon wall causes sluggish bowel movements, 

constipation and other problems. 

She stressed that toxicity affects 

our nervous system, making us feel irritable, 

depressed and anxious; it affects 

our glands, making us tired and lacking 

in enthusiasm and drive; headaches, allergies 

and skin disorders 

occur; we crave sugars 

and starches; gassiness 

and bloat arise. Toxicity 

affects the way we feel 

emotionally and physically. 

I was then given a 

full-length gown and 

lay on my left side. After I 

was properly lubed, a small 

instrument, about 4 inches 

long, was gently inserted 

into my rectum. The rubber 

tubing inside the instrument 

began to simultaneously carry 

clean water in and waste out 

in a mildly pressurized system. It 

was a little scary at first because 

I kept feeling like I was going to 

have an accident on the table and 

expel all the water everywhere, but 

you come to realize the hose is sucking 

everything out. 

After a few minutes I laid on my back 

while the session continued. Gentle 

abdominal massage was performed 

periodically by the therapist, who 

administered and monitors the entire 

procedure. There is a sink under the 

table where she monitored what was 

coming out of me the whole time. You 

have the option to watch along if you 

want, which of course I did. Surprisingly 

there was no smell what so ever. 

After about 30 minutes of being put in 

different positions, I felt the water in my 

upper stomach. It was explained to 

me that some of the things coming out 

of my colon may have been there for 

many, many months and had never 

been passed, and that your colon gets 

blocked up with undigested food, even 

in the healthiest person. 

At the end of the session came the 

roughest part. The technician filled 

my colon with almost 5 liters of water, 

and asked me to hold it in while she 

removed the initial instrument. I was told 

to go into the bathroom and let the 

water loose. 

Once I let the water go 

(in the toilet), I got very 

dizzy and almost fell off 

the toilet. But when I stood 

up, I instantly felt energized. 

My pants fit MUCH 

looser, and the paunch in 

my belly was gone. 

The only confusing part 

was when I read a sign in the 

bathroom that said “tipping 

is encouraged.” Now 

come on ... what do you tip 

someone who just hosed out 

your dirty hole? I decided on 

the standard waitress tip of 14 

percent. 

I later weighed myself, and 

I weighed 6 pounds less than 

I did that morning. That night I 

passed out at 6 p.m. and slept until 

9 the next morning. The whole process 

exhausted me. 

Over the course of the next month, I 

felt energized, well rested, less stressed, 

and I didn’t feel uncomfortable after 

meals. I also had awesome night’s 

sleep, and woke energized and refreshed. 

All in all it was the best 90 bucks 

I ever spent! 

I highly recommend giving it a try. 

Of course, check with your doctor 

first. Whether you want to lose some 

weight, gain energy, or just want to get 

ready for a big weekend of fisting, your 

pooper will feel like it was just rolled off 

the showroom floor!

DIRTY LAUNDRY 

Dear Maid Mindy: 

Is it safe to iron leather? My favorite leather shirt has 

wrinkles in it after a long train ride across country in a 

suitcase and now it looks awful. 

Bunched up Butch 

Dear Butch: 

Try hanging your shirt on a coat hanger in the bathroom 

while you shower. If the wrinkles don’t steam out by 

themselves, gently iron the garment at a warm setting 

after layering clean brown paper between the iron 

and the leather. Store your leather garment in a wellventilated 

area and cover with a cloth to keep it dust 

free. Avoid storing your leather garment in plastic. 

Leather is porous and it needs to “breathe” especially if 

it gets damp. Also, be sure to use a conditioning oil on 

your shirt after ironing to make it soft and healthy again.

XTReME CORSETS 

Delicious Corsets makes some of the strongest, 

most durable corsets on the market today for all 

occasions from bridal to extreme bondage and 

body modification. As a co-sponsor of the Diabolique 

Ball, we asked the head designer of Delicious Corsets, Amy 

McConnell, about the deep end of their corset creations. 

PM: What is the sexiest thing about 

body bondage and waist training? 

AM: The empowerment the corset 

gives, the smooth hourglass shape, 

the tightness of the corset wrapped 

around the body, the contrast 

between waist and hip, the way 

your hips move when you walk 

corseted... 


PM: How do your corsets help body 

modification aficionados achieve 

the most dramatic cinch ? 

AM: They are very durable and 

reinforced. We do all custom work 

so we can start with a perfectly fit 

corset then base your next pattern 

from your last pattern. In that way 

we only reduce the waist size for 

optimum waist 

reduction without 

reducing 

the hips and ribs 

unnecessarily. 

PM: What designs 

have you 

created for the 

extreme corset 

aficionado? 

Do you have 

pictures? 

AM: We created 

a locking corset 

with no front 

opening and 

the back lacing 

was covered 

with a panel 

that locked into 

place with 8 

padlocks. 

PM: What 

collection will 

you unveil at 

this year’s Diabolique 

Charity 

Extravaganza? 

AM: This year 

we are making 

“men’s wear inspired” corsets 

for women. We have new corsets 

based on a Tux, a man’s vest, cummerbund, 

and more. 

PM: Advice for those looking to try 

extreme corset training? Resources? 

Recommendations? 

AM: Start slow. Begin with a comfortable 

waist cincher with room to 

tighten. Wear the corset as many 

hours daily as you can. Try working, 

eating, and sleeping in it. When 

you feel comfortable wearing the 

corset regularly, start tightening it, 

slowly. Wear a light t-shirt or corset 

tube underneath, and it is a good 

idea to have more than one corset 

to train in, you wouldn’t wear the 

same underwear everyday. Go 

online and find others who train 

and ask questions. There is so much 

information on the internet and it is 

always changing. 

PM: What is the most extreme thing 

anyone you know has done in a 

Delicious Corset? 

AM: Gone to church.

SEX EDUCATION & MORE from PASSIONAL 



STARSCOPES 

ASTROLOGY By Dr. Andromedus as channelled by Eric Hamell 

A 1975 statement, titled “Objections to Astrology” and signed by one hundred ninety-two 

leading scientists including nineteen Nobel laureates, declared astrologers “charlatans.” Dr. 

Andromedus, based on the wisdom of his ten thousand years as a disembodied spirit, has 

declared this statement “bosh.” 

Aries, the ram 

(March 21 to April 19) 

In an offer you can’t resist, the local 

football team will invite you to became a 

mascot “with benefits” if you agree to reside 

full-time in the club house. 

Taurus, the bull 

(April 20 to May 20) 

The flashing light on a police car 

will give you a seizure, impelling you to butt it 

with your head. The department will sue you 

for totaling the car. 

Gemini, the twins 

(May 21 to June 21) 

You will learn in a dream that 

you’ve been bestowed with super powers, 

at the expense of losing consciousness for 

half of every day. But you’ll be frustrated 

to find that the super villain you were 

recruited to fight has gotten away with 

another crime just as you awake each 

morning. 

Cancer, the crab 

(June 22 to July 22) 

When your surgeon informs you 

that she found an implant in your head and 

removed it, you will sue her for the loss of 

your psychic powers. 

Leo, the lion 

(July 23 to August 22) 

Your attempt to help your starving 

roommate with tips on where you’ve seen 

roadkill will backfire when you realize the 

health department is spying on you from 

across the street. 

Virgo, the virgin 

(August 23 to September 22) 

Although you’re a year older and 

wiser now, most people will be slow to recognize 

your blossoming genius. It’s already 

common knowledge, however, among 

alpacas. 


Libra, the scales 

(September 23 to October 22) 

You’ll worry that you can’t march in 

the fall parade this year because of your arthritis. 

You’ll compromise by drifting a couple 

millimeters above the ground, while limiting 

your speed to match that of the marchers. 

Scorpio, the scorpion 

(October 23 to November 21) 

As you knew would happen eventually, 

they’ll come to execute you at work. But you’ll 

delay it half an hour by taking your lunch break. 

Sagittarius, the archer 

(November 22 to December 21) 

It will be frustrating to find that 

turning the key in your car opens the hood 

of the car parked in front of it instead of your 

own driver’s-side door. You will rue the day 

you started believing in magic. 

Capricorn, the goat 

(December 22 to January 19) 

You’ll try to ignore the alien flopping 

around on the roof, but things will go 

too far when it comes into your bedroom. 

You’ll finally be able to sleep after finding a 

way to scare it outside again, this time shutting 

the window after it. 

Aquarius, the water-bearer 

(January 20 to February 18) 

You’ll be excited and proud at the 

surprise unveiling of your company’s new twentyfirst-century 

generator, a basement-heater-sized 

unit that will power the whole building. It’ll be a 

little unnerving to learn you’re standing next to a 

thermonuclear reactor, but its sky-blue color will 

be awesome. 

Pisces, the fishes 

(February 19 to March 20) 

It’ll be really neat to find they’re 

playing movies on the night sky. You’ll be disappointed 

to learn that this was for one night only 

while the star projector was being repaired.

X-TREME 

NOVEMBER 18, 2006 

PHILADELPHIA, November 18, 

2006 Xtreme Fashionistas, 

Fetishists, Pin-ups, Bound 

Beauties, Human Ponies 

and other Fantasy Fanatics are 

cumming to Philadelphia this 

November 18 to Be Bad for a 

Good Cause at the tenth annual 

Diabolique Fantasy Masquerade 

Ball. 

Diabolique is not your mothers 

charity ball--- there may be 

tuxedos and gowns in the mix, but 

the royal carpets are human, the 

punch is as spiked as a bulldog’s 

collar, and the masks are often 

made of black leather! Each 

year, the Ball attracts hundreds of 

patrons from around the world and 

well-heeled locals with outrageous 

costumes, creative interests, and 

few inhibitions. 

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 

10 years for the Philadelphia’s 

most unusual charity fundraiser, the 

Diabolique Fantasy Masquerade 

Ball, which returns to Shampoo 

Nightclub this year. But the time 

has come for Diabolique X, or 

X-treme that is, since the theme 

of this year’s Ball is going back to 

its fetishistic roots to bring fashion, 

fantasy and sexuality together for 

an unforgettable evening of being 

“Bad for a Good Cause” 

Creators Kali Morgan of PASSIONAL 

(formerly Fetishes Boutique) and 

Psydde Delicious of Delicious 

Corsets have teamed up with 

local diva Domina Barbi and a 

host local community activists to 

bring the sweetest, spiciest mix of 

interactive exotic entertainment 

to Philadelphia. Singles can arrive 

early to buy a playdate during the 

star-studded Dominatrix Auction 

that kicks off the open-bar VIP 

reception (and raises funds for 

Woodhull Freedom Foundation). 

Also on the VIP agenda are 

exclusive performances and a 

special awards ceremony. 

The Ball opens to the costumed 

public at 9PM where Johanna 

Constantine, Mike Saga and Stone 

will kick three separate dancefloors 

into gear with visual projections 

by SmACK! Extreme sports will 

be represented from local Roller 

Derby gals with their wheel fetish 

on in the X-tremely sexy white 

room. On mainstage and you can 

expect only the most extreme 

action from visiting performers like 

The Baroness (NYC) and other 

national celebrities of ill repute 

from Suicide Girls to slutty drags 

including fashions by Delicious and 

PASSIONAL. 

Costumes are mandatory, guests 

must be 21+ 

TIME & DATE: 

Diabolique Xtreme Fantasy

XTREME PHILADELPHIA 

WWFD? 

RELIGIOUS 


Philadelphia has shut down five private 

adult clubs in as many years, forcing 

local and visiting pervs into the 

underground, apparently in order to maintain a 

clean “traditional” image our city. However, 

tradition clearly paints a less-than-puritan 

picture of our “founding fathers”, most 

especially one Mr Benjamin Franklin 

(whose 300th birthday was celebrated all 

year long). 

Like many moderns, Franklin lived 

with a disease that was likely contracted 

via sex. He admitted to extra marital 

affairs and took responsibility for 

children borne of them. 

Nor was Mr. Franklin a stranger 

to sex clubs, although he did not 

publicly condone or condemn the 

existence of such places. It was 

widely reported that Franklin 

visited the Hellfire Club in 

London to drum up support 

for the American Revolution. 

London Hellfire was 

basically a swing-club famed 

for raucous parties where 

dilettantes wearing only 

masks would meet for anonymous 

group sex. While he was there, 

Ben was alleged to have read aloud his essay, 

“On Farting,” and also to have introduced his 

grandson, William, as “the illegitimate son of 

my illegitimate son.” 

Obviously, Benjamin Franklin proved that 

a person’s sexual proclivities do not inhibit 

one’s ability to make achievements in science, 

politics, education, or life. 

Were Ben alive today, would he 

have sanctioned the closures of 

Philly’s sex clubs? Would he 

support current laws in five 

states that currently outlaw 

the sale of vibrators and sexual 

enhancement devices? Or 

others that restrict women’s 

access to birth control and 

vital health services in many 

of our United States? Or many 

that criminalize consensual sexual activities 

between adults? 

Ben Franklin may have taken the, “Don’t 

ask, Don’t tell” position on these matters 

when he was helping to shape this country in 

the 18th century, but were he reincarnated into 

our current world, he would surely demand a 

literal interpretation of the First Amendment. 

And were he to visit a club, he might even 

jump into the mix of Real Sex television to 

perform a nude recitation of the Bill of Rights 

– he was reportedly fond of the “air bath”. 

In Philadelphia and throughout the United 

States, we might benefit from a modern version 

of Ben Franklin-- a leader (or at least not 

a follower) to emphasize the value of science, 

common sense, health, education and human 

freedom over feigned outrage at the prospect 

of being subjected to “indecent” non-exposure, 

or on rewriting the “traditions” of history. 

One admonishment often quoted by Franklin 

was that “Those who would give up their 

essential liberties in exchange for a little security 

deserve neither liberty nor security.” 

BRING ON THE BENJAMINS. Get a VIP ticket to 

the Diabolique Ball, and bring a few Benjamins 

for the Dominatrix Auction to benefit the Woodhull 

Freedom Foundation. You can get live playtime at

TRANSFORMATIONS 

XTREME DRAG 

Halloween: The hallowed day of extreme crossdressing 

By Angela Gardner 

Halloween! It’s the official holy 

day of obligation for crossdressers. 

And, it’s the one time of year 

that you’re likely to see extreme crossdressing 

on the streets of Philadelphia. 

(Other than some of the mummers at 

New Year’s.) 

Just what is extreme crossdressing? For 

the majority of the world any crossdressing 

is extreme. For most guys, the idea of 

wearing women’s clothes – and trying 

to look good in them – is about as appealing 

as taking a barefoot walk over 

broken glass. They get so embarrassed if 

someone suggests it. It’s as if it were some 

kind of affront to their manliness. But I ask 

you, what takes more balls than being a 

guy wearing a miniskirt and high heels at 

the company office party? Crossdressing 

takes courage. 

But back to the idea of extreme crossdressing. 

Like I said, to some the act of 

dressing like the Church Lady and going 

out of the house for a rapid, nerve-wracking 

walk around the block seems like an 

extreme idea. To others extreme means 

transforming themselves into a 7-foot-tall 

drag version of Elvira and going to the 

Libertine Ball. It’s all relative. 

For purposes of this article we’ll just 

assume that men wearing women’s 

clothing for fun is a given, and that those 

who are trying to dress and blend in with 

other females out in public are the opposite 

of extreme. We will define extreme 

as shocking, outrageous – and above all, 

attention-getting. In that context, even 

the guy wearing a women’s business 

suit at his company office party would 

qualify, since he would definitely attract 

attention. (And possibly a promotion if he 

has great legs.) 

So why not go all the way? Go to 

the office party as RuPaul. People are 

already going to talk (you know how 


they are), so why not do it up right? How 

about showing up costumed as a 7-foottall, 

female angel of death, covered 

in black latex and wearing 6-inch fake 

nails? That’s extreme enough to take their 

attention away from why you dressed like 

a female angel of death. 

Drag queens have long known the joy 

of dressing over the top. In the early days 

of drag shows, when performers were all 

doing impressions of female stars, most 

worked at evoking a feeling of that star in 

their act. To do that they would emphasize 

the most prominent features of the 

lady they were impersonating. This led to 

an amplification of the star’s persona that 

was larger than life. 

Sometime around the 1980s female 

impersonation became less about being 

a particular star and more about being 

a femme figure who was larger than life. 

Performers lucky enough to resemble 

Madonna, Marilyn or Liza could still do 

those characters but those who only 

resembled themselves got to climb on 

stage and awe the crowd with outrageous 

costumes and chutzpah. Feather 

boas got bigger, high heeled shoes got 

higher, and the cry, “More glitter!” rang 

out across the land. 

Thanks to the ground-breaking work 

done by queens like Lady Bunny, RuPaul 

and countless others, if you decide to 

honor the Halloween holy day of obligation 

by doing drag, you have a vast 

range of feminine characters to portray. 

You can go for classic glamour and be 

a 40s movie star, reach into fantasy and 

be a sweet little fairy or a sexy vampire, or 

do your impression of RuPaul – or Condoleezza 

Rice (now that is extreme). 

Whatever you decide, remember to 

take it to the extreme – be the best drag 

at the party. Make it a real costume. 

Get everything just right. Don’t be afraid 

to get a professional to assist you with 

makeup application or costume making. 

It’s not extreme to spend time and 

money on the details of your outfit, it’s 

just prudent. But if anyone asks why you 

chose a drag costume, go ahead, be 

a little extreme and tell them you chose 

drag because you love it. See you on 

Halloween!

GOODBYE, DEAR PHILLY 

By KELLI DUNHAM 

I’m off to the West Coast. Yup, it is 

true. And it is time. 

I 

have been in Philly for a decade, 

more than a quarter of my life now, 

and it has been thoroughly amazing. 

The only thing I can really say 

is thanks thanks thanks thanks for all the 

support everyone has given me, both 

personally and for my writing and standup 

careers. 

Not to put too melodramatic a 

point on it, but when I arrived in Philly, 

I had nigh unto nothing. As in no job, 

no money or things (having just left 

the convent and all) and, as I recall, 

not even an ID. I remember getting 

rejected from selling plasma for that. I 

somehow thought my life was over. But 

because people were so supportive of 

me, I am here now, and they totally let 

me sell plasma. Well, and I have written 

books and I am a nurse and a stand-up 

comic. So there you have it. Thank you, 

Philly. 

I cannot even begin to list the many 

things that I will miss about Philly. But 

even more than cheesesteaks and 

reasonably priced housing and the way 

no one informs newcomers that they 

have to step down to make the trolley 

doors open, I will miss the people who 

have made Philly home. 

OK, I do not want to be bawling while 

I finish up this newsletter, so I am going 

to stop with all this sentimental talk. But 

please please please stay in touch so 

I am not forced to come and find you 

and sit on your front stoop and – um, 

read a book. I am too much of a dork 

to be a very impressive stalker I guess. 

My latest projects: In addition to doing 

a ton of writing (including material for 

my new one-woman show as well as 

many freelance pieces) and massive 

amounts of performing, I have been 

busy with some other really fun stuff. 

Last fall I bought my first camera, and 

I am becoming a picture-taking fool. I 

have enjoyed documenting my road 

trip experiences especially. I post pics 

in my blog sometimes, but the place to 

see a ton more stuff is on my Webshots 

page at community.webshots.com/ 

user/kellidunham. 

Some of the albums are arranged 

according to trip – like the pilgrimage I 

recently made to Lourdes, France – and 

then there are some special categories 

like “where regular folks encounter 

the sacred” and “public art.” And my 

personal favorite, “nuns gone wild,” a 

small but growing collection of stealth 

pics taken of nuns doing mundane 

things like buying chocolate and riding 

roller coasters. 

Have you seen my newish WEBSITE? 

Still KelliDunham.com but with 

an entirely new look, courtesy of 

HostBaby.com. I am in the process 

of redoing my other Websites, 

including LoveLifeAsANurse.com and 

SurviveRNSchool.com. More info on that 

when they are all done. 

I have been keeping a LiveJournal 

(kellidunham.livejournal.com) for more 

than a year now. This is the best way to 

keep up to date about what I do on a 

PASSIONAL ADVENTURES 

daily basis 

(well, the 

stuff that is 

not in the 

TMI category 

anyway) 

as well as 

read notes 

from my 

travels, and 

also hear 

what variation of the “sir/ma’am/sir” 

conversation I have had lately. Don’t 

forget to add me to your friends list! You 

can check me out on MySpace too, 

with the same username. 

Speaking of surviving nursing school. 

Which we kinda were, right? Guess who 

won the American Journal of Nursing 

Book of the Year Award? Yup, me, for 

the second edition of “How to Survive 

and Maybe Even Love Nursing School.” 

Yeah, I am thinking this is probably the 

first time they selected a book illustrated 

with cartoons as their book-o-the year. 

Tee hee. 

Finally, on the cool-ass lip gloss 

front, while in Portland, I will be doing 

order fulfillment for Pussy Pucker Pots 

(pussypuckerpots.com), the 100- 

percent vegan, 100-percent naughty 

line of LadyLiscious Lip Balm! Very cool, 

seriously. 

As for my upcoming gigs, after June 

30 I will be in between Portland and 

San Francisco, so I am still ironing out my 

schedule. Stay tuned to kellidunham.

Tantric arts, tantric hearts 

By Edie Weinstein-Moser www.liveinjoy.com 

Tantra incorporates breath and energy, awareness, moving 

beyond simple pleasure, to transcendence 

Tantra connects with the idea that 

sex is more than what goes on 

below the belly button. It is an honoring 

practice that allows partners to 

simply “be” in each other’s presence. 

Eye gazing, breathing together, moving 

energy through each chakra brings 

with them the ability to merge, not only 

with the other, but with the ultimate 

Beloved. 

Kim and Brad Walker live the definition 

of tantra. This Houston-based 

couple began practicing when they 

met and married in 1993. What they 

bring to “the art of expansive weaving” 

are open hearts, inquisitive minds 

and the willingness to live on the edge, 

even as they simultaneously exist in the 

daily world of raising a family, paying a 

mortgage and mowing the lawn. 

“Tantra’s basic philosophy is finding 

joy in everything you do,” they told me. 

“It involves using your personal energy 

to empower your life and manifest 

whatever you desire. As sexual beings, 

our energy is often easily focused in the 

sex chakra (considered the second, or 

sacral chakra). Tantra teaches how to 

harness our personal energy and channel 

it with love and consciousness.” 

Brad and Kim also stress that in tantra, 

the spiritual connects to the sexual 

– something not talked about as much 

in popular depictions. “Tantra is both a 

physical practice and a spiritual expression 

that involves realization of your 

sexual connection with your partner as 

a sacred ritual, a way to show worship 

for God’s gifts and the divine spark 

within you and your partner. 

“It is often sensationalized and associated 

solely with the physical aspects. 

(ie: marathon sexual sessions, bigger 

orgasms etc). While these are important 

aspects of the physical expression 

of tantra, they are merely exercises 

for enhancing and harnessing your 

personal energy for spiritual growth and 

development. Sexuality is sacred. It is 

a tangible energy that can be used 

to manifest positive realities. Ecstasy is 

sound, movement, breath and intention 

combined- joyful expression of the 

soul.” 

For two years I have joined Kim and a 

group of courageous women for Goddess 

Getaway Weekend- .a Gathering 

from all over the country: 20s to 60s, all 

shapes and sizes, professionals, students, 

homemakers, gay, straight and bi (or, as 

Brad likes to refer to it, “fully sexual”) to 

celebrate our divine feminine essence. 

We’ve danced, shared visions, experienced 

“manna-festation” techniques, 

and to offer ourselves a “Goddess-spot” 

(G-spots). At the end of a weekend, I 

spoke with some of the women who 

shared from the heart. 

“The most valuable lesson I learned is 

acceptance,” one woman said. “...the 

amazing variety of normalcy in sexuality 

allows me to accept myself for who 

I am and to accept other people as 

they are. It’s not that often that women 

get together and explore their own 

body in an empowering atmosphere, 

...it’s such a physically empowering 

thing to do, to have a sexual and spiritual 

experience combined.” 

Kim spoke in her musical Texas-tinged 

voice about the female ejaculation 

class. “I think it’s important that women 

know that yes, they can ejaculate, that 

it is powerful, and that it is blessed waters 

that can be used to heal, “mannafest” 

and create whatever you want. 

What I like about doing the workshop 

is that it helps create a community of 

women who can support themselves, 

women who can become friends. 

When people get together, they can 

create an energy that can increase 

peace, love, joy and passion in the 

world.” 


SEXUAL HEALING ????? 

SECRET GARDEN II: 

VAGITARIAN 

DIET ADVICE from Dr. Jez 

Melts in your mouth and in 

your hands: The honey pot 

is a tasty treat if you have a 

fluids-bonded relationship. Don’t worry 

about taste; unless it’s just having a bad 

day, a juiced-up swirl is easy on the palate, 

and is even addicting. Flavors from 

buttered toast to spicy marinade 

to vitamin-fortified fountain, a 

vagina is more than a mouthful 

of wonderment that should be 

celebrated with a long, deep 

tongue-kiss. There are other tasty 

bits nearby, but it is best to lick the 

front first before moving to the 

backdoor, as fecal matter and 

bacteria around the anus can 

bring unfriendly (and irritating) 

bacteria to your front door (but 

not vice versa). 

Wrap your candy before sharing 

with strangers. Word up to 

the cunning linguist: You can get 

infected with herpes, warts and other 

STIs from somebody’s tongue, or your 

mouth can become infected from 

somebody’s genitals. This might surprise 

those who think of oral sex as “safe.” 

While saliva is safer than blood, it is still a 

fluid that can carry infections as well as 

non-infectious irritants like sugar (which 

can cause yeast overgrowth) and pepper 

(which can actually burn the sensitive 

skins, thou some love peppermint). 

Oral barriers created for sex include 

Glyde Dams and Hot Dams barriers. 

In the absence of these “made for lingual 

discourse” products, smaller, thicker 

dental dams work, or cutting a latex or 

poly condom to create a barrier can 

work in a pinch. Easier still is a simple pair 

of latex underwear coated with a slippery 

layer of lube. Plastic wrap, on the 


other hand, is not ideal, as most brands 

have actual holes in the plastic for use in 

microwave ovens. 

Flavoring the flora can be overkill, but 

the barriers we use to avoid bodily 

contact shouldn’t torture your taste 

buds. Latex tastes like latex, but add a 

little love potion like O’My hemp-based 

lube, and it can taste like strawberry 

cheesecake! 

Drink from the fountain: The vagina 

produces and delivers exotic flavors that 

are too strong for some but are addictive 

to the Kuni connoisseur. These holy 

waters and potions are usually delivered 

as liquids, though some are thicker than 

others. Female ejaculate (called amrita 

by tantric sex practitioners), is sometimes 

spontaneously produced and 

other times prompted by intense g-spot 

stimulation, This fluid contains elements 

of urine mixed with prostatic fluids that 

taste sweeter than pee. 

Speaking of which, bedroom watersports, 

where people receive 

pleasure from watching each other 

urinate, tasting a partner’s urine or 

being showered in urine, are all the 

rage. Some friends of mine used to rate 

attractiveness with a pissometer: “I’d 

never let her pee on me …” If someone 

was really hot, they’d fantasize, “I would 

let (so-and-so) pee on me anytime!” 

Pee looks like a money shot, isn’t as 

slippery or bitter, and it is relatively harmless 

stuff that comes out sterile at first 

shot. But be aware that traces of drugs 

and bladder infections can be found in 

urine, and possibly in female ejaculate 

as well, and that stagnant fluids attract 

and grow bacteria if you “soak in it”. 

Recommended preparation would 

be to drink water with electrolytes for 

a clear stream with a smooth taste. 

My pals report that consumers 

of artificial sweeteners produce 

a sweet tasting stream of tinkle, 

but more research needs to be 

done regarding natural sweeteners 

like sweetleaf, so send in your 

true confessions, dear reader! 

Pink lemonade is a cocktail (or 

cunttail?) of urine and menstrual 

fluid that shares advantages 

and disadvantages of both urine 

(above) and blood (read on). 

The Moonflower can hold 

poison. A more acquired taste 

is menstrual blood. But fear of 

it can be easily overcome by 

determined clit-pleasers! The nutritional 

advantage for those who choose to 

indulge in the menstrual mysteries is the 

presence of a lot of iron. The bloods 

can also be used like paint as part of 

a playful ritual. Taste-wise, they can be 

lapped up happily with whatever other 

creamy juices flow forth. Texture-wise, an 

occasional chunky clot can scare even 

the most determined feeder, although 

it is no more harmful than liquid, and its 

stewy nutrition is definitely an acquired 

delicacy sought after by a select cult of 

vampiric vaginal devotees. 

A major disadvantage is that menses 

can carry bacteria as well as infections 

including HIV, so persons not exchanging 

fluids should definitely use a barrier 

between a bleeding vagina and any 

other juicy bits.

are lapping through a barrier 

like a latex or poly dam, you 

may wish to add some juice 

to both sides of the wrapper 

for the benefit or your 

tongue and her clit. O’My 

natural, hemp based lubes, 

do just that- provide a body 

safe (does contain glycerine 

though) and very tasty slick 

in sugar-free flavors that taste 

sinfully satisfying for having no 

calories! My favorites are the 

Cheesecakes, but there are 

also Cappuccino, Pineapple. 

Passionfruit, Kiwi, Strawberry, 

Cherry, and Melon. $16.99 

Pussy-shy? 

Get to know yours better 

By Mistress Eden 

Vagina. So many people are talking about 

it. There are plays, poems and stories. But, 

are you still afraid of it? 

I as a woman, try to avoid the subject until I 

absolutely have to. Why wasn’t I taught to love 

my vagina and take care of it as well as I take 

care of my face? I look at my face, play with 

it, make sure it is all right and take great care 

in how it appears. The vajay-jay gets scrubbed 

in the shower or bath and shaven, but never 

examined. 

I know that this may sound strange to some 

people, but I, like some others, procrastinate until 

the last minute before I have to go the vagina 

doctor. It can be an awful experience. I have 

had someone from a clinic facility that I used to 

go to spread the word that I was HIV-positive so 

much that even an ex-boyfriend approached 

me about it, begging me to tell him it wasn’t true. 

After that, I became afraid to go to the doctor. 

It took me years to go back. 

I was horrified, and it took me into a long slump 

of depression that affected all of my relationships. 

After finally getting back on my feet, I decided 

that I was going to take control of my vagina 

and be assertive and unafraid. Or at least 

pretend to be unafraid. 

I made the decision that I wanted a female 

doctor. I also made the decision that I wanted 

what I wanted, and I was not going to take 

no for an answer. My comfort ability is at stake, 

I want to love my body, and the fear of the 

unknown is not going to stop me. 

Go to the doctor. Just go. Put one foot in front 

of the other, and soon you’ll be walking out the 

door. Ask questions, and don’t be afraid. This is 

YOUR body we are talking about. 

And then when you get back home, sit in a 

comfortable, quiet place and look at your pussy. 

What color is it? What does it look like? How does 

it feel? Think about the best sex you ever had. 

Watch it quiver. How does it react? Ask your 

partner to help you. 

It’s such a weird and cool looking thing that 

people seem to not be able to get enough of. 

Why should you be shy or afraid?

double duty 

How I got hooked on moonlighting 

By brian mc V 

I 

was working in my uncle’s car wash 

when it happened. I detailed this 

nice Mercedes at the end of the day 

when this guy rolled down his window 

and flashed me a hundred dollar 

bill. Sometimes customers would tip, usually 

a buck or two, but they just held the 

money out the window when that was 

the game. This time was totally different. 

The guy, an older businessman 

kept the money in the car and waved 

it around in front of his face while his 

eyes locked onto mine. I had no idea 

how to react... I mean, what the heck 

was he doing? Not knowing what to 

do, I shrugged and said that I wasn’t 

sure if we had change. I was already 

wondering in disbelief if he was actually 

going to tip me a hundred dollars, but 

my thoughts were interrupted when he 

asked what I was doing after work. 

“Nothing much,” I told him trying not 

to watch the money he was waving too 

closely. I knew the dangle was a bait, 

but he looked like I could take him out 

worst case, and I broke my balls each 

week to make about a hundred bucks. 

“Meet me around the corner at 

Burger King,” he invited as he drove off 

with his windows down (and I imagined 

with his hundred bucks still in his hand).

I hadn’t even had sex with my 

new girlfriend in the summer of 1990, 

although we had gotten close. But I am 

a kinda hippy-move-slowly guy, and my 

totally mellow tude drew fate to me that 

summer evening as the workday ended. 

I knew better than to say a word to 

anyone at the shop, but as I grabbed 

my pack and my jean jacket, I kept 

thinking about that money. Obviously 

there was a string attached, but what? 

Did he want me to date his daughter? 

Run an errand, set up his wife? I had 

heard stranger stories… I was supposed 

to meet up with my girl but not til later 

that night, so I decided to find out what 

was going on with the money man. 

I walked over to Wendy’s and got 

in line for a drink when I saw him over to 

one side. He motioned me over and I 

brought my drink and sat down. 

What’s up? I asked. 

“I wanna blow you” he said, very 

matter of factly. 

I had asked my girlfriend to do me 

like that but she wasn’t ready. But his 

guy wasn’t exactly my dream date. Not 

that there was anything wrong with 

him, but he kinda looked like a younger 

version of my grandfather. Nonetheless, 

$100 would double my week’s pay, 

and then I would have gotten blown, 

at least, and I was very curious to feel 

that. I had a condom in my pack just in 

case for the day my girl gets on it, but 

that day wasn’t likely to happen on this 

evening. I just had to ask, 

“For a hundred bucks?” to which he 

nodded. 

“Where?” 

“Right out in my car” he said as I 

scanned the lot looking for the classic 

blue Benz I had just polished. 

“It’s around back” he explained 

following my gaze. 

“How do I know that you won’t drive 

off somewhere?” I asked. He handed 

me the keys and stood up motioning 

me to follow. 

I was nervous and couldn’t even 

imagine how I could function for 

this guy. Much as I wanted to feel 

somebody’s mouth around me, his was 

not the one. In fact, the thought kinda 

disgusted me. 

I followed him to give him the keys 

and tell him never mind, but he didn’t 

turn back, so I just kept following him 

straight over to his car. 

“Look, I don’t think I can do this,” I 

told him. 

“You don’t have to do anything,” 

he said, pulling out his hundred dollars 

again. “Just get in the car.” 

I did as I was told, and he came 

around behind me on the passenger 

side with the door open. He had parked 

the car out behind the dumpster with 

the door over by trees and he got down 

in his dress pants and unzipped my fly. 

I fumbled in my pack for the condom I 

had buried in there but before I could 

say or do anything his mouth was 

around me. To my surprise I responded, 

in spite of my terror at the prospect of 

being caught. 

It didn’t take long before he 

swallowed me whole, and zipped up 

my pants. Wow. That was the start of 

something. I doubled my pay that week 

and for the next three weeks until I went 

back to school.

BOTTOMS UP 

DIRTY 

POLITICS 

By Sarah Hoffman 

I 

started writing about Extreme Intimacy 

and Polyamory, but then my class got 

cancelled. 

Apparently somebody who considers themselves 

a “friend of the Leather Community” 

wanted to “save us” from our own presentation 

which this person considered “unhealthy.” 

A call to the venue owner expressed 

dissatisfaction with legal and medical issues 

related to the topic, and pressured the venue 

to cancel the class. 

But nobody was saved. People were 

denied useful information because a 

“concerned” person chose to shut us down 

rather than show up and discuss concerns in 

a diplomatic manner. My workshop was not 

the first, nor will it be the last cancelled due to 

internal politics in the community 

The fact is that much of what BDSMers do 

is not “legal,” whether you are in a bar or 

a car or a bed or a shed, so there is always 

the danger of harassment or damage, but 

more so when personal politics, belief, or in 

some cases jealousy divide and splinter our 

common cause of free (and informed) sexual 

expression! 

As if worrying about the religious right, the 

government and law enforcement were not 

bad enough, why now do we have to extend 

suspicion to people in our own clubs and 

groups? The only think I can think about right 

now is that we need to stop trying to put each 

other out of business and start preparing a 

defense against the common enemies who 

want to criminalize and destroy our lifestyle.

I did with a corset stay inside of that organ 

which you delight in theorizing about... --if 

you had gone through the fear of that, and 

been compelled to sit talking to people 

afterwards and wondering how you were 

going to get to the closet in time; if you had 

had this happen at one o’clock and been 

compelled to lecture at 3; if this had been 

your sequel of a pleasurable experience 

with me, as it was mine with you, you would 

be ashamed ...”

Fighting back in the war on sex 

CHEERS: We have 7 big 

reasons to celebrate! 

1) Now 286 cities, counties, and 

government organizations protect 

employees against discrimination 

based on sexual orientation. 

2) A Missouri law barring ads from 

sexually oriented businesses within 

a mile of the state’s highways was 

declared unconstitutional by the state. 

3) Over-the-counter emergency 

contraception has finally been 

approved for over-the-counter sales for 

adult women. 

4) North Carolina overturned a law 

prohibiting cohabitation of unmarried 

couples. 

5) Unable to get the Justice 

Department to prosecute hotels, a 

coalition of 13 national conservative, 

sex-negative groups recently resorted 

to having to place a full-page ad 

in USA Today urging the Justice 

Department to investigate whether 

pay-per-view movies in hotels violate 

obscenity laws. 

6) The Supreme Court’s holding in 

Lawrence v. Texas that intimate, 

consensual sexual conduct was part 

of the liberty protected by substantive 

due process under the Fourteenth 

Amendment continues to have a 

positive effect on court decisions and 

governmental practices around the 

country. 

7) Same-sex marriage is now legal in 

Massachusetts, and, though vetoed 

by a misguided governor, did pass the 

California legislature. 

Each year, we fight to advance 

sexual freedom as a fundamental 

human right. The radical right finds 

tangential, obscure issues to “rabble 

rouse” in an attempt to mobilize 

what they view as their base 

supporters. While sexual freedom continues 

to make major historic gains, we are winning 

one battle at a time, while the religious right 

advances a comprehensive program and 

philosophy. 

“America’s War on Sex” (Praeger, 2006), 

by WFF board member Dr. Marty Klein, documents 

that the attacks on reproductive rights, 

sex education, sexual entertainment and 

consenting sexual expression are all connected. 

While right-wing “decency groups” claim 

that their goals are protecting children, families 

and communities, the common theme 

of their attacks is “sexuality is bad” – sexual 

thought, imagery, information and behavior 

all are bad. 

And their well-funded aggression doesn’t 

end there. According to Klein, their goal is 

transforming American secular democracy 

into a religious state. Sexual regulation is their 

weapon of choice in this battle. 

One such right-wing group recently announced 

it had targeted eight swing states 

(Were they unwelcome in the other 42?) in 

which to mobilize evangelical Christian voters 

before the November elections. Like a 

traditional political machine, this group’s local 

coordinators will prod pastors to speak 

about political issues, conduct voter-registration 

drives, disseminate voter guides, and run 

get-out-the-vote campaigns for the purpose 

of crushing freedom. The issues on which they 

will mobilize would-be voters include restrictions 

on pornography, broadcast “indecency” 

(like HBO), sex education, contraceptive 

availability, adult entertainment, and the 

dreaded “gay agenda.” They are truly obsessed 

with sexuality. 

Those who cherish civil liberties need something 

just as comprehensive to challenge this 

war on sex: we need a sexual freedom movement 

to conceptualize a broad range of issues 

as intimately connected, and fight these 

many challenges in a comprehensive way to 

counter the religious right. 

The Woodhull Freedom Foundation is building 

that sexual freedom movement by: 1) 

continuing to partner with groups like NOW, 

NGLTF (The Task Force), Sexuality Information 

and Education Council of the U.S., Community 

HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project (CHAMP), 

the American Association of Sexuality Educators 

Counselors & Therapists (AASECT) and 

many other groups; 2) partnering with the 

ACLU, the Free Expression Network and the 

Free Speech Coalition to initiate and support 

legislative action to advance and protect 

freedom of speech and sexual expression; 

3) generating local activism against sexually 

repressive laws and practices; 4) educating 

conservatives that sexual oppression undermines 

families, and educating progressives 

that sexual repression destroys life as much as 

economic repression; 5) reminding people of 

the importance of sexual freedom, as in our 

“Sexual Freedom” track at the annual NGLTF 

conference; and 6)neverending media work 

promoting sexual freedom as a fundamental 

human right – op-ed pieces, radio, TV and Internet 

appearances. 

Although there are hundreds of groups 

doing vital work countering specific forms of 

sexual repression that stain our Constitution, 

The Woodhull Freedom Foundation exists 

solely to advance sexual freedom as a fundamental 

human right while fighting the many 

political, social and economic forces driving 

and expanding sexual repression. We will win 

America’s War for Sexual Freedom!

The Sexual Freedom 

Watch List: Nine problems 

you can help solve! 

1) Cohabitation of unmarried couples is 

still illegal in Virginia, West Virginia, Florida, 

Michigan, Mississippi and North Dakota. 

2) Since 1993, more than 11,000 service 

members dismissed from the military for 

being gay – including hundreds of Arab 

language translators last year. 

3) State and local organizers are 

aggressively targeting adult businesses, 

blocking licenses, prohibiting openings 

and conducting raids that can only be 

termed harassment. 

4) Ninteen states have passed 

constitutional amendments outlawing 

gay marriage and, in many cases, 

domestic partners’ rights. 

5) Right-wing rhetoric continues to fuel 

violence against LGBT people. 

6) Fourteen states, including South 

Dakota, Louisiana and Ohio, are 

considering statewide abortion bans 

during this legislative session. 

7) In June 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court 

agreed to consider the constitutionality 

of allowing abortions in the first two 

trimesters. 

8) Lower courts are resisting the 

application of favorable ruling in 

Lawrence v. Texas, and rule against 

private, consensual activity. 

9) Laws against adultery, cohabitation, 

possession or sale of sex toys, and any 

family configuration other than male/ 

female, remain on the books in many 

states.

XTREME VICTORIAN 

A Naughty Victorian Holiday 

While Queen Victoria sat prim upon the throne in England, 

the British gentry and the rest of the world were 

looking up each others skirts, into each others footwear, 

cinching themselves into obscenely tight corsets and 

having affairs with those outside of their own social 

classes. As the weather gets colder and the nights grow 

longer, celebrate the pervery of generations past with 

Victorian-inspired fashions, passions and a December 

holiday party that will be announced at the Ball (p. 19) 

and www.CafeKink.com 

Dress the part with the Colette Corset (upper left) a 

genuine Victorian corset pattern in all black or antique 

pink leather with black trim (sizes XS-5XL, $389.99) 

and glisnet Bustle Skirt (upper left and front cover, sizes 

S-3XL $189.99). For a masculine (?) look , Velvet and 

brocade Versailles Coat (red and gold or black and gold 

brocade or black canvas with black velvet trim sizes 

S-XXL $399.99), Cotton Crepe Shirt $39.99 (black 

or white sizes S-XL), and Unisex Leather Cincher 

($259.99). 

Put on your punishment boots (inlay, upper left center) 

and sit in the corner! An extreme footwear style was 

were created for fetishists of old to prevent the punished 

from walking about (leatherette or patent vinyl sizes 

6-14 $129.99). Festive holiday velvet (left center) is 

a cranberry-colored twist on traditional fabric in sizes 

S-3XL: the Zipper bustier ($139.99), Matching Thong 

($19.99), Circle Skirt with Garters ($59.99) and leatherlined 

Padded Blindfold (23.99) that perfectly sets off the 

Cuffed Serving Tray ($79.99) and a healthy Chocolate 

Paint Palette -5 flavors in a wood crate for $18.99. Shortsleeved 

satin French Maid’s Dress (center right, sizes 

S-4XL, $119.99) to serve up Varnished Wood Plugs 

($49.99 ea) and other toys that will be prizes at this 

winter’s party. 

The satin Cake Skirt, brings out the hungry child of all 

generations for $99.99 (sizes S-4XL) The long sleeve satin 

Victorian Maid’s Uniform (bottom right, sizes S-4XL 

$169.99) with 40 yard Fluffy Petticoat (generous sizes S- 

XL $69.99 white, black, red or custom colors) are classic 

looks to serve pretty (see above for cuffed serving tray). 

Lift your skirts, drop your trousers. Discipline rituals 

inspired extreme fantasies from group schoolrooms, to 

the practices of the private governess. Is it any wonder 

that a maid could earn extra by playing the role of disciplinarian 

with a few good rattan canes? Take the caning 

class (p.40 or www.fantasyworkshops.com) or just pick 

up a few of these goodies 

(sanded, unvarnished 

singles Canes 3/8” or 

5/16” wide by 20” or 30” 

long $8.99, Rattan “Faggot” 

Bundles $39.99) 






PASSION ????????? 101 

XTREME FETISH EDUCATION and MORE 

October 21 

Saturday, 1pm-3pm 

Torture Ties and Bondage 

for S&Mers with Sexy Sadist 

Bondage arts have been 

used for centuries to arrest, 

interrogate, torture and even 

execute unfortunate victims. 

In this fairly advanced class 

we will explore sadism, 

masochism & edge play with 

rope and include topics such 

as predicament bondage, 

partial suspension & hojo 

jutsu (perhaps even a bit of 

breath play) This class is NOT 

for novices and no one will 

be admitted more than 5 

minutes late. 

October 21 


Breath & Blood Flow Play 

with Sexy Sadist 

Breath play is edgy, scary, 

dangerous, and hot as hell! 

Some of the most common 

forms and styles of breath 

play, from smothering to 

bagging and even blood 

flow play techniques will be 

covered with safety information 

that can keep the risk at 

manageable levels - and how 

to know the signs of danger 

when pushed too far. 

November 4 


Sensory Deprivation & Control 

with Lolita Wolf 

Controlling a partner’s senses 

can effectively change 

the whole psychology of a 

person. Using various toys 

and techniques (both storebought 

and homemade), 

you can enhance both 

the reality and the fantasy 

in a scene. Of course, we 

will deal with all the safety 

issues. Please come and 

volunteer. We’ll be taking 

participants from the audience. 

November 4 


Caning – Ouch from “Ah!” 

to “Zowie!!!” with Lolita Wolf 

In the Victorian era, caning 

was traditional for severe 

punishment. Canes are very 

scary - even just the threat 

can terrify. But caning can 

be sensuous as well and, with 

finesse, you can have your 

partners begging for more. 

Some can actually come 

from being caned. Selection, 

care and techniques 

covered as well as some role 

play and ritual. 

All PASSION 101 classes, unless otherwise noted happen 

on Friday nights from 7-9PM at PASSIONAL. Advance 

registration required as space is extremely limited, $35 

per person or $60 per kissing couple. Register in person 

at PASSIONAL or online at www.passionalboutique.com. 

PASSIONAL sells the deluxe violet wand kit complete with 

ceramic-coregenerator, body contact pad, 5 separate 

electrodes and two metal accessories for $599.99. Get yours 

this holiday, and get FREE registration to the class. Nickel 

claws (5 for $169) are great for wands and other sensory 

adventures. 

November 24 

Edge Play - Pushing the 

Limits of a Slave with Sarah 

Hoffman 

This class deals with several 

different aspects of edge 

play. How do you safely 

push limits? What are the 

necessary psychological 

issues that you should be 

aware of? When is it safe to 

move beyond ordinary play? 

What are some key issues for 

submissives in edge play? Is 

it really about submission or 

slavery? Learn the difference 

is between hard limits 

and not-so hard limits. 

December 1

and Amy

Wand Guild certified Violet 

Wand instructor in the
