How I came up with this Bonkum invention... |
|
I had been in this amazing relationship with this beautiful and spiritually gifted woman, JW. She opened me up to a world inside, instead of my normal externally, visually-stimulus driven existence. I was in love with someone who was a healer, a guru, and a friend who I could confide my inner instabilities. During our relationship we explored territories uncharted in my past affairs of the heart. Communication was deeper, a stronger connection, passion more powerful and energetically time shifting, altercating, and mind awakening. We were in deep learn together. It was beautiful, yet we knew from the beginning that it had a limited life span. We were just too different and wanted different paths in life. Knowing this, we loved each other in the moment and saw each other for the people we were and are. I met her through a mutual friend whose wife had just had an affair with JW. When I was looking for a home, my friend suggested I call JW. We had a few conversations on the phone while I was on location in New York. When I got back in town I was full-tilt, fast-forward, ready to find a place to move into since I was going to be couch surfing and living in a buddy’s closet-literally, it was where I slept. So after meeting with JW and being around her professionally for real estate, the attraction was immediate and mutual. It was when she told me she was getting out of real estate and moving away within a month, was when my heart felt the tug. She had asked me out for coffee to discuss the plan of her segue and shifting me to another realtor, that I realized we needed to walk on the beach. I needed to say goodbye and when it was time – we hugged. I did everything in my power to not kiss her as I said my goodbye. It was one of those moments that I was so consumed in the rush of feeling and excitement but it was inappropriate, but I broke down and within a few moments of her leaving, I had called to ask her out that night for dinner. After that amazing night together, we were inseparable for her last week. We knew she was leaving so we spent as much time together as possible. She was so nurturing, passionate, loving, sexual, and sexy. Then at the end of the week, I broke my ankle playing soccer. I had been on a breakaway to goal and had been taken down by three defenders. Snap, crackle, pop. Torn ligaments across the top of the foot and a spiral fracture of the tibia. One week into the relationship and this. I was living in my buddy, Jeff’s closet like I said, but it was a big closet. Unfortunately it was on the second floor of an apartment building, which sucked when climbing stairs with a 40lb leg cast and crutches. She offered to have me stay at her place on the ground floor. My amazing brother, without a blink of an eye, switched my stick shift for his automatic. I worked in the editing room of Men In Black 2 on the ground floor, so everything was working out. I realized that I had not been as healthy due to the extreme hours and work schedule for the past year. My body was not running as usual and thus broke when put in a strenuous tension via soccer playing. JW became my nurse, my patron saint, like no other would, or could have. She knew holistic medicine, and advised me to go to acupuncture, and many alternative solutions to western medical practices. So while I had a cast and was being condemned to three months of stiflement by western medical doctors, she was using energy healing and vibration therapy. The doctors were amazed at how fast I was healing. This was happening while I was working a highly competitive, stressful, time pressured job, during the time she was getting ready to move to Santa Fe. We were both falling hard and yet it didn’t seem complicated. It seemed right. Well, she left when she sold hr place at the end of the month. She had some seminars to attend in Germany that she had planned before I was in the picture. So I went back in the closet at my buddy’s place-get your mind back on track-this is a hetero love story. We had learned to trust our intuitive nature so we were very connected even when we were apart. When we tried calling each other we always knew who and when they were calling on the phone. It was incredibly odd, strange, and exciting. It’s hard to actually explain it. Just after she said she was leaving we found the place I wanted and I immediately went into escrow. Timing was perfect. She could finish it before the she would leave. I could not move in since I had a renter who I was letting stay until he found a place to move into. So the closet was still home for another month and a half. During this time JW had traveled extensively and had come back. I had made the accommodations in the closet comfortable with a queen sized inflatable mattress. She was not ready to move to Santa Fe yet due to us, so she was skipping in and out of the closet between trips and traveling. I eventually finished Men In Black 2 and moved into my place, that was when JW moved into the upstairs loft with me. At this point in time we were exploring each other and our living situation since I had planned to have two friends in the downstairs bedrooms. It went amazingly smoothly. JW and my lives were and are different. She is quiet and contemplative, I am not. We loved all the same. I made her a place in my room to meditate. We were happy. Divine Invention During one of the times we were together and she was not traveling, I was making love to her and asked her what would make sex better for women? I was serious and always love and want to know what women are thinking and what they want sexually and emotionally. Giving it some thought, she said, that after making love for long durations, she gets tired holding her legs up in the air. She loves to be in positions that feel great, but getting to hold them comfortably makes for strain and discomfort. She also felt that if she could change the positioning of her clit and pelvis, she would be able to orgasm easier. I already had an idea for something that would go over the bed to use as a suspensions device. I had been thinking of something, due to my broken leg and had been wishing there were a product that would allow for comfort while wearing a cast. During sleep, my heavy cast laden leg would sometimes fall off the bed and then my muscles would get tired and be extremely uncomfortable and strained. I could not believe nothing was available on the market that could be easily dismantled and setup in the home consumer world. Nothing. So JW stated her female needs, I already had some inkling how I could solve this. That is what men do right. We fix things. Women talk and discuss their problems to get them heard, and men go to the shop to figure how to fix. She was getting ready to leave for a trip so while she was gone I used that stimulation to have something ready by the time she got back. I drew out some preliminary sketches and started organizing the materials needed. My brother Jason had a welder, I went to a metal shop downtown to get the materials. You should have seen the calamity. We were busy in his driveway trying to learn how to weld and laughing at how bad the beads and seems were, but we bent the metal and welded it together. It formed essentially the shape we ended up with though no where near as graceful and sexy. The welds held out during testing but they were rough and would tear the underside of my mattress. I went to bondage shops and hardware stores to get the perfect pieces needed. I researched online and to see what was available and when I needed something that was not out there, I designed it myself. I put together my first prototype. It was cool looking. Industrial, raw, nowhere near precise or exact, but it was pretty cool. The general idea and shape was formed, so now for the fun part. Testing. JW came back from her trip and saw that crazy invention on the bed. She was in awe and amazed at my tenacity. Immediately she wanted to try, so in she jumped and amazingly, within three minutes she had an orgasm and laughed loudly. She couldn’t believe what I had done. An idea, A BUSINESS. If we could tap into the masses, this could help people enjoy sex more. It could help those that need help with positioning, discomfort, excitement, fun. It could help those with disabilities. I could have used it while I had a leg cast, not just for sex with the leg cast but also just a device to suspend and keep in one position while I slept. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. People with bad backs who might want to raise their legs while sleeping. Mature people needing assistance to get in and out of bed. People with broken limbs could achieve comfort in their home, easily, without having a buy a whole bed built for suspension. They cost thousands of dollars and completely take up the space of a room with all the attachments and suspension pulleys. After launching the product and the website at AVN in Vegas in January 2004, I realized that in the adult world, people want more. More suspension, more leverage and more positioning. So it developed further and became bigger, stronger. Now it keeps evolving and the positions and creativity of its users are more advanced and excited to seek its potential. The future looks bright and the world is just starting t see the potential and power its many uses posses.

One way to get the word out there about your product. |

 I have been driving around donning a Santa hat in a Ben's truck with a bed on the back with white and black satin sheets, the Bonk'er toy, aninflatable doll, and a bunch of Bonkum.com magnets and banners attached. I have had a huge amount of onlookers laughing, pointing, and such. I went purposefully into peak traffic times on the 405, 10, 101, 110 freeways during rush hour and Xmas break traffic. I would then drive up and down Sunset Blvd, Santa Monica Blvd, La Cienega, La Brea, Santa Monica, Venice/Main Street/Abbot Kinnee and Hollywood Blvd honking, waving, and wishing all a Merry Xmas, Happy Bonkum! I then went to the Hustler Store, A Touch of Romance, The Hot Zone, House of Erotica, Nighties and Naughties, The Pleasure Chest, 665, Dream Dresser, etc... and parked right outside of them all while I would pitch the product to the managers during the Xmas rush thus exciting the patrons about the product. It was fun and I got great responses from the managers of the stores. I got a great response from onlookers and drivers by. Lots of thumbs up and people saying they are going to the web site. Had a great response by the manager of A Touch of Romance. She says her distributor is the largest on the west coast and that she manages three stores for them. She was emailing and calling them and the owner while I was there before I could leave. The Bonkmaster strikes again.

The Bonkmaster Strikes Again |

Our first launch into the adult marketplace. The first trade show. |
|
Wow- was I in for a surprise! In setting up the business and wading through the legal, corporate, patenting, design and product development, I knew I needed to launch the product with a deadline. That deadline was the AVN trade show on Jan 8 2003. AVN is the premier adult industry trade show. Boasting over 35,000 attendees and exhibitors it is definately one crazy experience. I have never been to the trade show before, so I signed up for a booth and payed the $3000 entry fee.
I setup the booth space with the Bonkum associates (friends) who all converged together in Vegas for a meeting of the Bonk. Well all I had to say was "I think this will be a good time" and in trusting, they all converged to Vegas to witness the showmanship, the spectacle, and the pizazz that The Bonk'er being released, would provide. Jason, Wilem, Eujin, Steve, Shannon, Michael, David, and Danny were all surprised, shocked and excited to see the responses and masses who were at this show.
Wow did it ever fulfill all expectations. Women of all backgrounds and ages stepped up to the bed to try the new adult toy. Men couldn't believe that women could be so liberated(even at an adult convention) and thus many pictures were taken for publications around the world. The constant banks of photographers and videographers gawking at the spectacle of this new device put a smile on all our faces. We were definately on to something. 
Of course, for a little publicity we had temporary Bonkum tattoos made so we could get to meet our audience, one on one. So, for the entire weekend, we all moistened our sponges and put on over 600 tattoos on women from all around the world, and a couple of men too. Fun stuff. We had Cleopatra of the Nile come and visit for a photo op's and promotion for her fans. Countless number of inquisitive models, pornstars, and spokespeople modeled, oggled, and played with the Bonk'er on the bed. Kinky Kerry from the UK, Tori and Cat from Phoenix and the list goes on of those who came in to model for Bonkum. Kinky Kerry even got so into the fun of it, that the shows security had to come and escort her out of the trade show for good after she put on, I mean took off, everthing for a show, stimulating and exciting the crowds senses. What a performance she gave. Flashbulbs were going crazy. She even gave a strip show sing just the Bonkum Banner as hte tease. Tori kept coming back to the booth after meeting us, and putting on all sorts of demonstrations and shows exciting and enticing the consumers. 


Documentarians, writers, journalists, photographers, and videographers came to see what was this spectacle in the little booth was all about. Our poor neighboring booths had to deal with the mass swarms of people clogging the aisles, but they all got to gain the benefit of a great show while listening to the DJ stylings of the Bumfights' booth behind us. The Bonkum crew all had a blast and we really got to see the masses appreciate the new device and play with it while having fun. We got to test market the product and hear the responses from fans, the critical, retailers, and distributors alike. If you have never been to an adult trade show this is the one to check out. It is fun and exciting and you will see both main stream celebrities, pornstars, and the new, cutting edge in adult products. 
We got to hang with our new booth neighbor friends at Buttweiser, they do a lot of the street flasher videos. Intimate Associates started to take notice at the booth on the other side and gave us a lot of great info and contacts. Sikworld Clothing were our other neighbors who loved our show and our traffic we constantly had blocking the aisles. We also had the opportunity to meet mutual friends Freddy and Eddy of FreddyandEddy.com, Steven W. from Kumcleen.com. All in all it was a good time and a hell of a lot of work. Both Wilem and myelf lost our voices on the third day and could barely talk on the fourth. So much to say to so many people. 
We got to see how many pornstars, models, and everyday folk, go commando, as they exposed themselves while playing on the toy. It was wild and it was fun. Every person who got in the bed had a smile on and isn't that what it is all about? Just think what it could do for you in your bedroom!

Wow does it make me mad to feel the heat of repression and witness the mindset of the moral high roaders. |
|
I hate to see something like this and I hate it even more when this happens to me. I feel I have to champion this thought for a moment. What is this country based upon? Is it religious dictatorship, which is really religious hyopocrisy, or moral high ground? Why do we 'feel' certain expression should be looked down upon or deemed 'bad' for others to read ro make thier own judgemnet about. This society we live our everyday lives in is so hypocritical about subjects that point in the direction of sexuality, openness and freedom of expression. It is really sad to be witness to this outdated mode of thought. When will freedom truly be the thought people think of America to be? I do believe that in the future the people like Larry Flynt and Hugh Hefner will be marked in history as great models of humanity for helping push our societal boundaries and helping us all question our own moral being. The future will allow people being more aware, more open, more sexual, more thoughtful and more intelligent. Why is the writing on the wall and why can't we see it? This example I need to rant about just happened to me. EzineArticles.com is a website that allows writers a free forum to write about articles they know and are passionate about, mostly in conjunction of business, so that when authors who write the artciels have a link at the bottom of the article, readers will click onthe link to learrn more about the author or products they sell online. I had sent in a few articles to be reviewed and after gettting six articles submitted and posted on the EzineArticles.com site, they granted me an 'Expert Writer' status membership. I was in the review process of the last three articles when all of a sudden, based on the ideals of reviewer Wally, he chose to cancel the membership and delete all the articles already posted, based upon his own 'high' moral code, unfortunately at the loss of EzineArticles readers. Please read on to see the progression of emails that happened... I hope you all stand up and take notice and really think about how this and many other reactions to sexuality and any of thousands of different ideas are subjected to editorial supression based on subjective individualistic values. It is really sad. Bonkmaster____________________________________________________________________ Hello Bonkmaster, Thank you for your submission to EzineArticles.com titled "LA Erotica 2004".

Your account and articles have been removed. Wallyhttp://EzineArticles.com/ _________________________________________________________________ Dear Wally and the EzineArticles.com editorial crew, How can you go from accepting my articles and granting me “Expert writer status” with 6 articles to outright canceling my membership based upon YOUR OWN individual puritanical values based on two articles with url link issues? EzineArticles.com has posted these articles with the results of many viewers reading per article. I can understand you might have issues with the content, but YOU are now imposing YOUR idea of what is morally RIGHT to read, on the viewer. This actually goes against what this country was founded upon, freedom of speech. By choosing to NOT accept my writing, you are basing it on your interpretation of the actual content (url links or whatever), but not about the true meaning I am trying to convey: freedom and expression of openness, a subject I thought that EzineArticles.com should really be concerned with, especially in the literary world. Maybe this point should be re-thought, because this negative ‘good content fit’ direction of EzineArticles.com just shows me that Ezines is not really expressing anything of real substance into the world, but only expressing certain thoughts deemed ‘clean’ and edited by the 'granters' of good and righteousness blessed by those at EzineArticles.com. I do not think any company should be in the 'granting of ideals' business. I understand that my information might not be Shakespeare, but the information is relevant for people looking to see how a business model can be formed in the adult industry. This is from someone who has never been in the adult world prior to inventing a product that helps people sexually. This sex business ‘world’ is the largest business on the internet (16 Billion dollars per year) which is consistently growing in demand and will forever be changing to the positive, the minds of the populace, whether YOU at EzineArticles.com, like it or not. In writing my articles, I am trying to change perception of the adult world, placing it in a different light. I want to make it something more accessible, more fun, without the depravity of what has so often been brushed under the rug by many, like you, for so many years through the history of this puritanical country. The information is at least entertaining and viewers are flocking to read these articles on various other sites I have them posted. I had hoped EzineArticles.com were a different business. It saddens me to see this kind or exclusion in the ‘supposed’ writing community and makes me realize that EzineArticles.com is just a business model based on business marketing instead of true freedom of expression.

The zany and irreverent Dr Susan Block |
|
I had never seen or heard the Dr Susan Block Show so I had had no idea what I was walking into… I had heard her name before but that was it! I invited my brother Jason and Tori along to witness because by just going to the web site I knew that it would probably be a wild experience. We arrive before the show starts. Jason arrives separately since he is coming from the opposite direction. Tori arrives with me and we bring up The Bonk’er for the show. To get in we need to be on the list and the security is tight. It is not in the safest or most comfortable surroundings geographically. The streets were empty of cars and lined with trash and the homeless were around the corners with fires burning in cans, but that is downtown LA-love it or leave it.. After we get in we sign in and sign off on disclaimers, we greet the bouncers and other assistants of the show. We settle in and get ready to meet Dr Susan Block. The show is taped for live and recorded internet distribution and has a live radio feed. It is all done in the Los Angeles downtown loft space that has become part erotic museum, part working studio, sets and all. The sets are wild and have an eclectic flea market-kitchy-creative flair to them. Wild colors, all contrasting, leopard and animal prints, pinks of every hue, mixed in with yellows, oranges, penis’ and dildos, feather boas, pictures of George W, Jesus statues, space rockets, and a live snake or two slithering around her neck. You name it, it seems to be there. I can see how her mind works. Dr Susan writes books as well as her web site, is opinionated, controversial, intelligent, and has her own style. I appreciate the wackiness of her character, or at least the character she is playing. It is shock value and I love it for what it is. 
She is focused and was preparing for her show, which I still do not know what to expect. I get to meet Eric Chase, the lawyer for Rob Black of Extreme Associates, and a bunch of other porn stars and starletts. Kiss, Lucky Star, Trinity, and Dee Wise and a few other people associated with the adult world promoting something in some form or fashion. Dr Susan Block comes out to meet us and kindly asks us to place The Bonk’er on the bed before the show. We do this in amongst the cameras and sound gear the technicians have set up. Dr Suzy lights up when she see The Bonk’er on the bed. Tori, Jason, and myself sit idly by and notice they have a wine bar. Hmmmm, we saddle up. Just then the show begins and Dr Susan starts on her opening monologue rant, which goes on for about fifteen minutes. It is entertaining, to say the least. The show is very loosely themed on the Passion of The Christ with an extreme twist. She then starts inviting the guests onto the bed one by one until all of a sudden the bed is packed full and the show is moving along with the same creative wackiness as the set is eclectic. Jason is videotaping the show for our records and Tori sits with her mouth open laughing at all the crazy antics. I then get invited into the bed and bring Tori to demonstrate but after I show the virtues of The Bonk’er with Tori, some of the porn stars start using it in the foreground of the set as Dr Susan continues the show in the background on the bed. The topics discussed were Jesus, First Ammendment Rights, Ashcroft, Bush, blowjobs and numerous other diversions you can only imagine you would have while the host and many of its guests were naked and having sex in the moment. It is kind of insane but controlled in some way by the master of ceremonies Dr Susan Block. I could sense that the lawyer was not too excited to be in the middle of the porn stars on the bed and he was pretty excited to exit at the opportune time. I did my demonstration while Dr Susan states I am a gifted inventor that looks like a magician. We all laugh and I move with Tori back to the couch. The show continued for another hour or so, and then most of those on the bed, as guests, had left. After the bed episodes, I think this must be the end, but no, part two of the show continues. This is where more of the themed Passion of the Christ comes into play. Dr Block asks both Tori and Me to help out by being a rabble-rouser and for Tori to whip the Christ-like talent in the next skit. Mario Saucedo, a local artist and friend of Dr Susan Block, has a dramatic entrance with a huge bondage cross he very slowly and dramatically dragged onto the set. It was a sight to witness. It continued on for a very long time and was extremely funny since the alcohol in Mario kept getting in the way of his accent and dialogue with Dr Block. We all had a blast for a very entertaining and insane experience. 
It is hard to begin to describe the utter lunacy and fun-whacked out times that were had on that show. I can’t believe they muster the energy to do this every week. Below is the way Dr Susan Block explains the show- you can see how it goes together…  
Here is how Dr Susan Block described the evening... The Passion of The Cross, The Crucifixion of The Pornographer & The Bonkum of The Bonker ... Brothers & Sisters, Lovers & Sinners, Easter Bunnies & Porno Honeys, Pascal Lambs & Chicken Hawks: Enter the Irreverend Dr. Susan Block's Speakeasy Cathedral and bare witness to The Passion of The Cross. This is not your Father's Jesus. It's certainly not Mel Gibson's Father's Jesus. It's a Commedia Erotica Rez-Erection. It's also The Bonkum of The Bonker and The Crucifixion of The Pornographer: The Passion of The Extreme. The Passion of The Kiss. Interracial Cunnilingus, Fellatio, Doggy-Style, Dildo-Play, Hot Talk, Hard Whipping, Beautiful Bad Girls, Well-Hung Men & a Bloody Nasty Christ on The Cross. What more could you want in an Erotic Easter Eve Passion Play? Unllike Mel's White Easter, our Passion Players are People of Color. The Artist/Carpenter Mario Saucedo is Jesus Christ, or, as Mario says "I am Cheeses!" The Cheddar Christ. He takes a whipping and keeps on licking. The Pleasure Christ. Art Curator Kim Mendoza plays Mary Magdalene topless. Kiss and Lucky Starr play themselves, the hottest, horniest interracial couple in porn. Trinity Post, a porn newcomer and faith-affirming Catholic who "loved" Mel Gibson's The Passion of The Christ, fucks herself twice with a Jesus Jackhammer dildo from Divine Interventions. In the midst of all this mad fornicating passion, Dr. Suzy attempts to conduct an interview with criminal defense attorney Eric Chase about his film "In Defense of Rob Black." Rob, who is currently suffering through his own real-life Passion Play, calls in to chat about the cross he bears as America's latest symbol of obscenity, being prosecuted and persecuted by that Crisco-Anointed Crusader, Ayatollah Asscraft. Trinity, who wants to be in Rob's next "Extreme Teens" (she's 21), and Dee Wise, a participant in Extreme's "666 Gangbang," and the Reverend Bookburn all chimed in with support for Rob & Lizzie's heavy cross. PLUS a special treat: The Bonkum! A boudoir apparatus that looks like exercise equipment, but is really a high-tech device enabling lovers to enjoy all kinds of positions that might otherwise strain your back or break your leg. Looks like having sex while flying on a trapeze. The Bonkum is created by an ingenious and charming sextoy designer named Jordan who looks like a magician, and even has a lovely blonde assistant named Tori wearing nothing but Bonkum undies and a big smile as she assumes all the positions the Bonker helps you assume. Tory looks like a Choir Girl but whips Christ like a Roman executioner. Jordan is great as the "Rabble," enthusiastically tossing semen-stained tissues at Mario's bloody Christ as he writhes on the Gothic Cross. If the blood is really strawberry-flavored food coloring, what is the semen? Mmmm.... Another Taste of Spring... In addition to the live feed, this broadcast includes a bonus presentation of "Freedom & Restraint"Dr Susan Block The Bonkmaster is a filmmaker, inventor, and designer for the company Bonk Designs @ www.Bonkum.com.

Sometime over the next few months, we will edit the show for cable TV and give you a copy.Dr. Suzy would love to have you back on the show soon, especially since she didn't get a chance to try the Bonk'er herself. Next time, she will definitely try it. We're thinking of some Saturday night in June, and we will get back to you with some dates. Let us know if you have any ideas for other guests that we could have on the show with you that might have fun with the Bonk'er. Thanks also to both you and Tori for being such good sports and participating in The Passion of The Cross segment. Both of you helped to make the evening lots of fun!Rox |

The premier, modern day 'Cathouse' |
|
Dennis' Angels:Another stimulating and scintillating journey, following the travels and scenarios of the always-exciting, never-suppressible lifestyle of The Bonkmaster… I have realized in my short life of 35 years that I could die happy. I have lived a full and exuberant life by most standards. Many predicted I probably wouldn’t make it past 30, heck even 25. I was going pretty fast, and for some reason I seem to shock people with my antics. I might have started to slow down, and if that is the case, it allows me the time to journal some of the antics I get myself into. My buffoonish nature keeps me having fun, pushing the boundaries of morality and consistently in trouble…. I am driving from LA to Carson City at the request of Dennis Hof, the owner of The world famous Moonlight Bunny Ranch, to hang out, watch and be a part of the shooting of HBO’s “Cathouse”. Driving through the Mojave and still fuming at the cops of the world. Imagine what the speed limit would be if Germany had a desert? Damn ticket! 85 in a 70 BITE ME Mohave. I leave the scene of the crime and I see an aristocrat with a cane and stop to pick up George Ukon. He is a 66 yr old homeless, Ukrainian, retired geologist. George started right in and spoke nothing but bitterness, conspiracy theories, and hostility toward the American government. He is very friendly, interesting, a twisted and lonely man. George shows me the damage his bicep muscle got in an unwanted fight and how he has scotch-taped his lower eyelids down to stop his eye muscles from twitching. The tape makes him look like he is crying tears rolling down his face. I barely speak while he is on the journey with me. He constantly talks and I figure he must be by himself so often that he just needs to have someone to rant to. We all need to rant, I scream at the top of my lungs while I drive, but I refrain because his rants are way more interesting, whether I believe his ramblings or not. He writes down some conspiracy must reads in my notebook and I drop him off in the snow capped mountain valley of Lone Pine. He was generous with his farewell. No unwanted well-wishing or bullshit, just a simple vacuous goodbye. I make Bishop in 4 1/2 hours, Mammoth in 5 hours, Lake Topaz in 6 1/2 hours, Minden in 6 3/4 hours and Carson City in 7 1/2 hours. I love to drive alone so my mind can race, and I get to scream aloud in my car. After driving into Carson City from the south, I take a right onto Highway 50 for 6 miles leaving the city limits. I came upon a sign which said “Entering Lyons County” (One of the few counties where brothels are legal) and then, soon after, a billboard which read Moonlight Bunny Ranch. This is Red Rock Road, I notice a sign above a nearby daycare center that reads ”Trust Jesus”. I trust He has blessed this road! A menu of services is presented to you at arrival.
I hop out of my car and I press the doorbell to enter, the gate unlocks with a loud clang, and I push forward… a little nervous and very excited, I finish my phone call and the front door magically opens…I walk in to be greeted by 25 women lined up, all smiling at me with hellos while Kris, a 19 yr old man, hands me a menu of the services and introduces me to all my new friends. The Menu names 102 girls and lists some of the possibilities of pleasure packages available…from a lingerie show to a half and half, a viagra party to a 69 party, shame and humiliation to a whipped cream party, a two girl party to a more than you can handle party. Whatever your desire they can take care of your fantasy and needs. Mammma! After the gracious and glorious opening presentation, I speak…”I am here to see Dennis”, the formation breaks and they walk away murmuring under their breath, I call back, “but it was nice to meet you all!” They don’t care. Damn–that was harsh. Businesswomen! Dennis is off at his house with the HBO crew so I straddle up to the bar to wait. I meet Lainey, a friendly and sweet (aren’t they all), long-haired brunette with a thick South Carolina accent. She is fresh in the business, three days new, and says all the right things to me. I start to ask what is a girl like her working in a place like this? It was better than “Do you come here often?” She is an exotic dancer back home. Her boyfriend was ok with her doing this when she originally left but he has since had second thoughts and is calling constantly only to be reassured by Lainey that everything is great. Is it? Lainey and Jordan
I meet a young girl from Oklahoma, who has only been here three weeks. There are many newbies scattered in with the many veterans. It is rumored that Air Force Amy, the top draw and proclaimed “the hardest working girl in the west”, can do over a two million of dollars of work, also bringing in many spillover clients for the other girls. 50% of all monies coming into the ranch go to the house. $800 a day in business for each girl, will allow her free room and board. If they do not meet he quota they pay $19-24 per night depending on which of the rooms the girls occupy. The girls get different rooms depending on the length of stay or the tenure or stature they have at the ranch. Some bedrooms have a bathroom and are larger than other bedrooms. Porn stars, pinup girls and famous name dancers are top drawer because they command more clientele and can be marketed since they have a name. The girls pay $45 a week for a mandatory weekly doctor checkup. If there is a problem they do not work until the problem is solved. Dennis in car, with the HBO crew at the front of The Bunny Ranch
Dennis comes back and while I have been waiting at the bar listening to Dennis supervise the training of the Hooker school they have for the girls. Common sense and hospitality are paramount, “it is in your best interest to buy the customer a drink so you can get know them and what they might like”. Funny, I never got a drink from the girls? No denim shorts and a few other general clothing guidelines. His choices are reasonable, fair, and precise. He knows his business, his clients, and his girls. His, behind-the-scenes-team, are all pro’s and are generous with the praise for Dennis. He is known as the consummate promoter, and that seems to gives the marketing edge The Bunny Ranch has over the competition. Harmony is essential in Dennis’ brothel. He prides that The Bunny Ranch girls all get along and are pleasant to talk to and be around. This is part of the interview process to work there. Pricing is negotiable and is regulated by the girls themselves. Each girl has different pricing and it differs for every scenario. The price I told the girls for my service was $1500 per hour. That is to begin with, but it radically increases depending on the style of loving, and the multiple orgasms I can provide. They didn’t appreciate my humor. They charge a similar way, $1000-1500 an hour, $500-800 a half hour and there can be some negotiation but it depends on what is wanted by the client. They make a price with the client, the girls tell the cashier, and then the client pays at the cashier and then the work is provided. The girls average 4 clients a day and can do as many as 10. They work 12 hour shifts and have a driver to run errands so they don’t have to leave the compound and work. They get free food and the kitchen is always open. The girls can opt to live outside of the ranch and some live nearby. Some rent for the time they are in town working and then leave town until they are to be rotated into the schedule again. Schedules are flexible and must be worked out with Madame Suzette. They are free to come and go after shifts. There is no shortage of girls and they are constantly rotated. It is said that there is a list of over 2500 girls to join up and be a bunny. Over 250 girls are working in rotation. Some go and comeback every few weeks, months, and some stay in rotation for years. Air Force Amy is a staple and has been working there for nine years. She seems sad, beyond her smile and I noticed maybe a little loopy, but she still smiles whenever the line up occurs. Rough job Dennis, but somebody has to do it!
I have spoken with many girls and they are all different ages and demeanors. Daisy is a beautiful woman, has a little more experience and has the respect of many of the girls. She doesn’t do what she doesn’t want to do. If the clients want to do something she is not comfortable with, she leads them to another girl who might. Dennis runs a fair and comfortable establishment. His girls are top priority and the clients have much respect but are to be on good behavior. All topics are open and discussed. If the girls are not comfortable with the client or what the client wants (two separate issues) they quote a rate accordingly. Some price by the hour, others by the experience. Everything is negotiable. Women can make anywhere between 30K to over a million per year depending on how often they work or how aggressive they are at selling themselves to the clients as they walk in the door. Repeat customers are often requesting the service of a particular girl and often bring friends which spill over to other girls getting the work too. There is a rumor that The Bunny Ranch pays the highest taxes in Lyons County. I can see that they do a brisk business even when they are shooting the HBO documentary “Cathouse”. It amazes me that so many clients don’t mind being seen on camera for the show. The HBO crew is constantly running around having people sign releases. If you see me on the show having fun, I did sign a release but you won’t see me having a release! I am wearing the cowboy hat during Daisy’s birthday Luau party. That party was a prelude to an interesting scene with Daisy, her boyfriend, Sunshine Lane and The Extreme Bonk’er I was promoting. It will play in one of the episodes on HBO, probably the third in a six part series. I believe they release two shows a year. There is definitely no lack of subject matter. As HBO is running around trying to capture the essence of The Ranch, A transsexual named Heather walks in and surveys the lineup of girls. Dressed in a silver leather top and 6 inch heels she commands a presence and HBO goes wild. Heather is a freak and I love him/her. He/she is really interesting, open-minded, and a type of person that I get along with. In a VIP room, TheThrillHammer.com team, have a post-apocalyptic industrial chair. This fascinating new technology and invention allows the clients choice of Bunny to be controlled sexually with an internet connection and a credit card. The technology allows for a robotic vibrating manipulator to play with the girl of choice. The client can see the girl via a web cam and pleasure her with the robotic device through keyboard strokes on his computer at home. That is the best way to really explain it unless you go to the web site to get the greater details. HBO definitely found it exciting to shoot. Some of the girls stayed clear of the HBO shoot opting for none of the exposure-so to speak. Awww come on, I had too. He is one cool cat!
Dennis was an entrepreneurial real estate developer before he started dating a woman he later found out was a hooker at the Bunny Ranch. He befriended a few of the girls there and became friends with a daughter of one of the girls. Years later he met up with the daughter again and she was dating the Bunny Ranch’s owner who was then 74 and looking for an heir. Dennis was still a real estate stud making a killing, or so he thought. It was great money, until he learned it was chump change compared to what he could make owning the Bunny Ranch. The owner asked if Dennis would be interested in owning a brothel? Dennis remembers saying “what American male wouldn’t?” Dennis made a deal to purchase the Ranch and became an American Pimp, but not just any Pimp, but a Pimp with a vision to single-handedly change the stigma of hooking. He is a master promoter elevating the Bordello to the forefront of the industry. Being featured in the New Yorker, Playboy, Penthouse, Marie Claire, TV Guide, A&E, Inside Edition, 20/20, MSNBC, Howard Stern, featured as himself in a Hughes Brothers documentary called American Pimp, or having The Bunny Ranch showcased on “Cathouse” the highest rated non-fiction show on HBO, has elevated his business and the acceptability of this sex industry to the mainstream. Dennis is constantly reinventing the image of prostitution in America today. Maybe he is helping the American public open up to the possibility that it is ok to like and want sex, after all, it is just that-sex, we all do it, we all love it. It IS the only sport we can ALL do legally over the age of 18. As I write this even Diane Sawyer is set to spend the night at the brothel. She is to do a story about Dennis after she saw the HBO show and couldn’t believe the all these people would sign releases to be on the show having sex. Good times! Heather is looking fabulous to the right of me with the whole crew.
Dennis’ right hand woman is Madame Suzette. A cheerful woman who coordinates, cuddles, nurtures, shapes, and who manages over 250 women- 45 women weekly. Just think, for a minute, about the monumental task when handling your girlfriend’s period: the drama, the insecurity, the volatility that you have with one woman. Now multiply that by 250! Somehow she stays sane but she did admit to driving hard and fast to get to her day off at the end of the week. Are the stereotypes that hookers are girls from broken homes or damaged youth? Yes and no. Quite a few that did have the normal sad stories that seem to be objectified and coldly told over years of hardening. There are many girls who had no place else to go but to use their looks and bodies as their business, but there are a surprising many who choose to be there as a good paying job, an alternative to waitressing, or just want to try something different. Remember this is the cream of the crop job in the world of prostitution. It is as safe an environment as could be. Prostitution on the street corners, forget about it, way too dangerous. My hat is off to those girls who can be so open to try something with such a normally negative social stigma and still be cool and empowered by their actions. One beautiful, bright, well-traveled, 27 yr old, aspiring actress was pretty balanced, as far as any actress can be, and has a loving family. No twisted back history or the usual stereotype. She is very open, quite kinky, and wanted to see what the experience would be like. It was refreshing to hear that opposed to the stereotypical story. Where else can an actress make money to live in LA and have a flexible schedule? She is a little put out by having to handle the social hooking stigma, being an actress and all, and so she is looking into being a Dominatrix in a Bondage dungeon, similar pay but without the sex. She likes the freakier side of life she admits. Another 28 year old who had a beautiful complexion and auburn hair was shy but that did not stop her from soliciting many who came in the door. Her beauty kept the clients choosing her because of her demure nature and she stayed busy. She was the stereotype of the Wendy’s teller who then becomes a waitress. She didn’t think she had many choices and wanted money, so she became a stripper, making the career advancement to hooker was next choice. What’s the next career move? She told me that she had been paid $400 that day just to be held for a few minutes. No sex, just a cuddle, some comfort, and a little intimacy. I thought the humanity of that moment was quite touching. I don’t know if she saw through her own shell to see the moment as I did, but that is what I will take away with me. She has another viewpoint I am sure. I haven’t walked in her shoes. Remember she still made the trek across country to try something new, taking a chance at losing her boyfriend and be open minded enough for the experience. Could you be open and brave enough to do that? It must take a lot of power to want, or reach out to the experience of taking in so many men. There is an interesting resilience and empowerment these girl’s posses. Ashia is 18 and loves to fuck. I can understand that, who doesn’t? Nobody I want to know. She makes it clear by constantly telling me this with many other things, rubbing her ass up against my groin, and stealing away my cowboy hat. On my left is Brittney who keeps whispering that she wants my cock as she gently kisses and licks my ear. Damn it has been a rough day! Who teaches them to speak this way? These two are prime examples of the hard sell-pun intended. Both are good salespeople and both do very well I’m sure. I tease them by telling them my price, which is higher than both of theirs and that just frustrates them getting them hornier and more excited. Hmmm 2 x $1500, that could work out for me for an hours work. They both protest my pricing saying that I have to pay them and that they will be the best I have ever had, but they don’t know me and what tricks I can do!!! I am The Bonkmaster and they are but children. Just one of the girls…
Roxy is a beautiful, voluptuous, buxom, curly blonde, 18-year-old newbie. She has told her family and her boyfriend, a recently retired boxer, that she is on vacation in Florida. Interesting choices people make. I had several conversations with her prior to her first debut. She was very nervous. The first is always the scariest, also stated by several of the other girls. I watch her carefully from the beginning of her first shift at 8pm. Line up after line up, she is picked more than any of the other girls. Do men smell it? Fresh meat? What is it, she didn’t advertise, none of the men even knew. She sits on my lap as I talked to Dennis and I feel the dissipating sweat and the clammy skin of her last experience evaporate away. I ask her how her trip has been? She replies that she was extremely nervous at first, but after a few, it got real easy. They were real quick, she said with a smile. This girl knows what she is doing. I ask her if Boxers are good in bed –she replies that her boyfriend can work it and she confesses to loving his beautiful 10” Italian cock. This makes the other girls giggle, me too because I am just happy to be here. The doorbell rings again-the girls line up-she is picked again-and people say there is no such thing as beginners luck!

Here is a list of some great music to make love too... |
|
Life, truly is fantastically beautiful. Such as those precocious moments that we cherish, like when we enjoy a bottle of frosty cold beer in the steaming hot shower. Or a cold naked dash through the snow to the hot tub, juggling the armful of drinks. That rush of air shooting up the underwearless shorts, as you hang your leg out of the door-free Jeep. The terrorific and merciless sound waves make when they collide with the very rocks that you stand on, as you scream bloody murder to the Gods, water cascading down your face and body, as your buddy next to you screams right along side of you, both hoping you don't get plowed over by Momma natures' intense and radical force. This music list is just as powerful a force. I find music to be such an erotic and stimulating backdrop to life. This list has the special qualities that either make you want to get down and dirty or is downright romantic for the mood of a beautiful evening. Use it will for an extra kick of emotion or soul to your evolving life. This list is my list, everyone has their own personal tastes and view, this is just part of mine. I am a connoisseur of life, love, and of music, so here goes... Enjoy.Sade Love Deluxe and "Lovers Rock" If you want a fantastic date night that will get you both in the mood, try going to an open-air, summer concert, she puts on. Bring a blanket and a bottle of wine, the rest is simply magic. I had a fantastic evening at the Hollywood Bowl that I will never forget and to top it off Yousou N Dour opened for her during the Lovers Rock tour.Donna DeLory has a mistical lilt, but is definately a soothing sexy sound softer than Sinead O'Connor but with a strikingly similar tone.Mariza is my choice for Portuguese Fado music. Her presentation and voice are unparalled. I had the pleasure of seeing her in concert at the Disney Concert hall here in downtown Los Angeles playing with the LA Philharmonic Orchestra and her three guitarists for her first show of this magnitude. She was humble, passionate, and extremely sexy. I have never seen such emotion and passion come form the Orchestra. She even played for me and my friends in her special "unplugged" version, literally two feet away with the spotlight on us and the band, we were just lucky enough to have the seats where she chose to play in front of. Unbelievable. I saw many crying with emotion during the show, both in the Orchestra and in the audience. It was magical and so are her CD's.Fado Em Mim and Fado Curvo are the two albums she has out and both are exceptional. Andrea Bocelli is legendary as a performer. His music is romance and passion. Definately not for everyone, but I think it works for everyone who is a romantic. Romanzais always a classic choice for his work. Sogno is another beautiful album for the collection. I even have the release that Victoria Secret put out a few years back called Mistero Dell' Amore which unfortunately does not seem available anywhere anymore. That too is quite a good cd.How about Bryan Ferry. What class and soul his voice permeates. Avalon For a more loungey, fun, and sexy flavour, try a couple of French artists. Serge Gainsbourg I especially enjoy the electronic remix album I Love Serge: ElectronicaGainsbourg it is lighthearted and fun. His more roots style and classic feel are felt with the albums Aux Armes Et Caetera, Comic Strip, and Jane Birkin et Serge Gainsbourg. For an interesting blend of humour and wit and classic cafe music try Paolo Conte the best collection is his The Best Of Paolo Conte. Unapologizing and very fun.Norah Jones and the multi-grammy-winning album Come Away With Me is a must have for every collection. Her voice is just plain sexy and gets me in the mood every time. Norah Jones follows the lead of Getz, Gilberto, and Jobim. They restructured Brazilian jazz world music. In doing so they created sexy soulful music that changed the way we feel. Getz/Gilberto is an amazing album everyone should have int he collection. Totally tantilizing and erotic. Tony Bennett and KD Lang reinvented both of their own careers with the albumA Wonderful World and what a wonderful album it is. Sexy, haunting, real. I have a place in my heart for the four female singers who changed music, values, racial and social stigmas in thier time. Etta James her album Heart Of A Woman and Love Songs are two of my favorites. Nina Simone is a much overlooked goddess of soul. I love the album My Baby Just Cares For Me. Billie Holliday is another who lights my fire. A smooth satin voice, with classic songs we all know, are best represented with the albums Love Songs, Lady In Autumn-The Best Of The Verve Years and Billie Holiday Live. Captivating. Ella Fitzgerald is a force and her music is legendary. The albums that spring to mind that I feel I reach for more than others are First Lady Of Song, and The Collection. For a real treat, try the sass and class melodies of Louis Armstrong, the albums Best of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, and Louis Armstrong-Ken Burns Jazz have a definate presence, are disarming and are very sexy. No collection can do with out Old Blue Eyes. Frank Sinatra is a must for mood music. He sets the tone and you can enjoy his flavor. Songs For Swinging Lovers is a good choice for his style. It is not a style I alway bring out for love but I do enjoy the imagery he conjours. Ok, enough of the historical music... let's update and move forward... Verve Remixed is a cd which takes the artists such as Tricky, Dorfmeister, Thievery Corporation, UFO, and King Britt and have them remix and reconstitute a new flavor of the classics that I have mentioned previously with Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn, Gilberto, etc... An amazing cd and one that will work its magic into your heart. This brings us to now. There are some beautiful cd's out there that are beyond romantic. Here is my short long list or is it my long short lis-oh you get it... Ever growing, titilating and stimulating. Bebel Gilberto is a must have. I cannot stress this enough. Daughter of Joao Gilberto, Bebel's lustrous voice tantalizes the heart and emotion weakens the knees so you just fall into bed. Get Tanto Tempo you will fall in love with her and love to love the one you love. We all love that voice of Shirley Bassey. Wow, I wouldn't always pull her out for a sexy evening, well sometimes I do have that Bond penchant, but there is a remix album made which will blow you away. The Remix Album-Diamonds Are Forever Anything and everything Thievery Corporation has done is sexy. Abductions And Reconstructions is a prime example of their work. Mirror Conspiracy and The Richest Man In Babylon are others. Victer Duplaix is one artist who I swear could rule the world if he got his live show to replicate his cd quality. The production is sexy and sleek. His live show sucks. If he could connect with an audience and feel what they are feeling he would soon realize he loses his audience immediately. I have never felt so disconnected at a show, it made me mad. I had to leave early and go home to play the cd so I could make sure I wasn't crazy. I wasn't the cd's International Affairs and Singles-Prelude To A Future are both remarkable productions. Sexy and complex. Gus Gus is a band I highly recommend. Polydistortion and This Is Normal are my selections to use. It is interesting music from a duo I have actually worked with before. They are unique and varied in there influences. They also have there own graphic design company as well as a film production company where they direct music videos and commercials. Waltz For Koop another beautiful cd every romantic should acquire. Royksopp is one more interesting bands, try the cd Melody AM.Also take a look a look at Telepopmusik and the album Genetic World. You have heard a few tracks on the radio or on several Mitsubishi commercials. The album is real sexy and the singer seriously can belt it out. My friends and I danced with her while she sang and performed with Telepopmusik as she moved through the pulsing crowd at the Temple Bar in Santa Monica. I used to see her scream, sing, and dance madly while performing with the Wild Colonials at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, she still has those lungs and that voice! Now we have to nod to several bands here that are serious players. Supreme Beings Of Leisure. I was at an art gallery in downtown LA when I came accross these artists and what a great show they put on. This self titled album is a must and very sexy. Supreme Beings Of LeisureQuirky and influential, Stereolab generate a feeling different than any other band. Emperor Tomato Ketchup is a great cd.Air are French and serious mood music. They were featured in the movie The Virgin Suicides, if that movie wasn't moody I don't know what is. In terms of calling it sexy, hell yeah everything they do is ultra sexy. Try cd's Moon Safari, 10,000 HZ Legend, and Premiers Symptomes.Bossa Cuca Nova is a good choice for a latin beat flavor. I love the drum beats they have at the end of the cd they want you to use and lay down for your own tracks.If you don't know about Morcheeba, well now you do. Sexy and prominent. Beautiful melodies interlaced with disarming rhythm. Check out the cd's Big Calm and Fragments Of Freedom. These next artists are starting to gain notoriety on the club scene worldwide. Check out Armand Van Helden 2 Future 4 U, Bran Van 3000 and the cd Discosis. Etienne DeCrecy have a downtempo groove which might fit your need. Check out the cd Tempovision you will not be let down.Massive Attack are another group that needs no build up. If you don't know em, you should, go buy right now. You will love this album. The cd Mezzanine is a staple in the music lovers library and it should be in yours too. Thier latest offering 100th Window is another staple and a fantastic journey. Speaking of Massive Attack- you can't leave out Tricky. He has some pivotal, sexy cd's out, but the flavour might not be for everyone. His raspy voice can be a turn on or a turn off, but I like it so it is on definately on my list. I have all his cd's but Blowback is the one with so much emotion and sex appeal it has my vote. I see him around the neighborhood getting coffee. I heard he has a studio around here somewhere. Hello neighbor keep up the good work.Nicola Conte is an artist you should seriously consider for pure sex appeal. Wow. Bossa Per Due is the cd you need to get. Zero 7 A staple for chill out and your late night groove. Great music to stare into the eyes and focus deeply on your loved one. Simple Things is the classic.Just as you play certain music after the party, you must also choose the music to play before the party, Groove Armada is one of the bands you play at the beginning of the night to get the feeling going. Vertigo is a classic cd that gets your bones moving. I went to a show they put on at the Santa Monica Airport Museum and actually had sex there at the show. So yea it definately gets my groove on.Morricone RMX is a multi artist remix album of the music of the legendary and great Ennio Morricone. Everyone should listen to this album if you like the old spaghetti westerns or the imagery they conjour up. Very well done.An obscure album I find extremely sexy is Banco De Gaia and the album Igizeh. Truly astonishing, the emotion it conjours is as beautiful as the landscape of sound it projects.Radiohead are not everyone's idea of a romantic band but they get me all emotional and that is romantic to me. Try Kid A and AmnesiacFat Boy Slim is a big influence in my dance life. Love it. Maybe its the English in me. I wouldn't recommend this to those who want a slower groove, but if you like it a little faster, check out Halfway Between The Gutter and The Stars.I also Love Moby. Try for some atmosphere that is like nothing else... Play and 18. You need them for your library anyway.I was in a bar in Flagstaff Arizona traveling across the counrty on one of my walkabouts when I came across William Orbit playing on the stereo. What is this music? Try Strange Cargo 3 unbeleivable, I found this years ago, now the boy seems to be doing alright since he is gone on to produce for Madonna.I have many of the Chillout, Buddha Sounds, Trance, Rebirth OF Cool, Buddhas Bar, Cafe del Mar etc... series. They all are great, some better than others but there are so many out there go try for yourself. The Buddha Bar series is usually the best. If you want to get into the spiritual realm of your love music try Pasayadan and Mahalakshmi Stotram (As sung in Siddha Yoga Meditation Ashrams) or Om namo Bhagavate Muktanandaya ( Cahnting with Swami Chidvilasananda). There are quite a few great cd's out there but you should try them out of your local Yoga studios which seem to be selling more and more these days. Moving out of the spiritual realm, try Santana Just a grammy winning funky mix of talent in one sexy cd. Supernatural.Another super rock star band is Coldplay. Every track is really good and sexy. Geoffrey Oreyama is someone who drips sex appeal. African singer who has rich subtlety and vocal layering. He caught the attention of Peter Gabriel who has him on his Real World label. Beat The Border is a beautiful album. Speaking of Peter Gabriel, Passion-The Last Temptation Of Christ Soundtrack is phenomenal and should be in your collection. The artist Lisa Gerrard has one of the most beautiful tones and drips sultry and devastating emotion. Try any of these albums... Duality and Gladiator Soundtrack. Damn they are good.Deep Forest and Enigma are both scintillating artists and any of the choices of their albums work very well for mood music. Sarah McLaughlin is serious sex. Check her panties at the door and try out the cd Fumbling Towards Ecstasy While your in this realm, try Melissa Etheridge and her explosive power on the cd's Melissa Etheridge and Yes I Am. Then try a little dose of Sinead O' Connor. Oh I have had a crush on her since I heard the raw unbridled power of her vocals on Lion And The Cobra.Annie Lennox is a powerhouse of vocal haunting emotion. Tap into that energy with Diva.Bjork is a multifaceted artist. Unbelievably cute and sexy. Something about Post gets me all worked up. Try many of her other work too. Try Jonathan Elias' The Prayer Cycle. An amazing cd that will haunt you forever. In a very good way. The following are a group of male vocalists that are all have they're own flavor. David Gray.

You know a lot about music and variety of them. Check out Kruder & Dorfmeister. Electronic ambient mood music and sexy. I play with my partner all the time with k&d in the background. Oh my god...lots to say. First, holy cow man, I reprinted your list of music. What an extraordinary palette of knowledge and music you have there... Astrud and Gilberto--I would have added Diana Krall The look of love--one of my favorites is Roberta Flack or course Barry White--Ella my all time favorite. Do you have all that music? Can I pay you to burn me several CD's. An hey there is some new stuff out I have caught in passing that I have literally spent sleeplessnight thinging about. Perhaps you know it? Anyhow, I'm a huge music person. Jordan you seem to be searching... Did someone break your heart... Are you still with your girlfriend... A guy of your debth and talent will never find satisfaction (giggle, lonterm anyhow) in many...just one. Your a bleeding heart bleeding soul artist We live for love. We crave love. We need to be elevated beyond mediocrity, to rise above the mundane... be foolishly deluded. Pain, romance, yearning, romanticizing and fantasizing is what spawned the lyrics to those amazing songs and melodies.. All I know is that when I listen to amazing music I am soothed, lifted, regenerated solidly in belief that " someday he'll come along, the man I love..." It just seems more than random, I guess. Anyhow, I must be ovulating, very hormonal. What's your sign? Silly stuff but just curious. I want to see you. You've just inspired me right now. Thank you.K Thank you - Very cool response. It is what I am trying to illicit with my whole site... positive emotion. I am listening to "My Sweet Lord" sung by Billy Preston at the Concert For George Harrison at the Albert Hall - What a DVD.

Well there are many more but these are damn good ones. |

My friend Ludi sent this to me and I thought it good enough to post... 1. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women makelove they produce amounts of the hormone estrogen, which makes hair shineand skin smooth. 2 Gentle, relaxed lovemaking reduces your chances of suffering dermatitis,skin rashes and blemishes. The sweat produced cleanses the pores and makesyour skin glow .. 3. Lovemaking can burn up those calories you piled on during that romanticdinner. 4. Sex is one of the safest sports you can take up. It stretches and tones upjust about every muscle in the body. It's more enjoyable than swimming 20laps, and you don't need special sneakers! 5. Sex is an instant cure for mild depression. It releases endorphins intothe bloodstream, producing a sense of euphoria and leaving you with afeeling of well being. 6. The more sex you have, the more you will be offered. The sexually activebody gives off greater quantities of chemicals called pheromones. Thesesubtle sex perfumes drive the opposite sex crazy! 7. Sex is the safest tranquilizer in the world. IT IS 10 TIMES MOREEFFECTIVE THAN VALIUM. 8. Kissing each day will keep the dentist away. Kissing encourages saliva towash food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay,preventing plaque build-up. 9. Sex actually relieves headaches A lovemaking session can release thetension that restricts blood vessels in the brain. 10. A lot of lovemaking can unblock a stuffy nose.Sex is a natural antihistamine. It can help combat asthma and hay fever.

10 Reasons To Have Sex |

An Adult trade show in LA |
|
So here we go. The Erotica-LA adult convention is a huge 35,000 person experiance in the LA Convention Center June 10-12 in downtown Los Angeles. It is an interesting type of person who shows up at these shows that you have to witness if you enjoy people watching. I say this because here you see thousands of interesting chracters, a cross breed of stange, perverse, adn unbelievebly cool and open minded people that saunter by the booths at the show. This is the second serious trade show Team Bonkum has had a booth at. Tori flew in and Jenny drove up from Orange County to model. Jeff had his sax in hand and was there for demonstrations and sales support. ..............Tori and Jenny...............................Catwoman?.................................Peek-a-boo!................
This show had many voyeurs and photographers, and not enough buyers. I had heard that would be the case at this trade show, but what the heck, got to get the product out there. .........The constant crowds...................What were they looking at?.....................So very Saxy...............
It was fun and exciting, Tori, Jenny, and Jeff made sure of that. I used the show to promote the product and spread the Bonkum name while demonstrating the product and its benefits. During the show we realized that we could use this time to redefine the roles we played and use the experience to challenge what we have done before. I wanted to streamline our efforts and raise the bar. Assessments of practice and the evolution of future trade shows were set in motion. What I mean is to develop the models to run the booth and in doing so train the sales team (models) to handle the consumers one on one. I can then focus on other vendors and the broader scale for distribution, new territories, and markets. Keeping the team focused and not running off to walk around the venue was something I had not planned to handle. So my focus now is to lead in a way that finds talented, professional sexy models whom can see the benefit in working on commission to generate sales and build that team for future shows. I also need to implement a way to gain leads and to organize those leads into tiers of different markets of importance and to have an organized follow up process. Training models will be an interesting task, one I would not wish on anybody! ..............Mommy?..........................Hmmm, which one do I want?.........................I likey..................
The show provided some interesting characters. Tori found much joy in the whips I had brought to use as color. The color was mostly blue, brown, and red asses, as she paddled and whipped the photo-seeking, non-spending-lookey-loos. Tori turned it into a male punishing frenzy. Her whipping technique put all the boys in their place. These ‘men’ and I use the term very loosely, could not run away from this sexy girl implementing punishment when their boys are right behind them laughing at their pain. Egos and brains in a clash of wills. It was joy to watch the minds of the weak working. Men are weak when a beautiful woman has a whip and she asks you to bend over. That was the joy to watch, they just could not say no, even if it hurt badly. All was not lost, they still got to get a photo with Tori with her devilishly cute grin and whip in hand. .....Harder than you thought huh!..... By day she plays a cute blonde... This guy enjoys this way too much!
Tori and Jenny both enjoyed the attention a duo of pretty girls can get from the crowds. Using that to their advantage allowed for some interesting scenarios with an assortment of characters jumping in the bed. Dennis Hof from BunnyRanch.com stopped by to get in the bed. You can see here when British Pornstar, Layla Jade, jumped in to play in the Bonk’er with the girls. ......Looking for a free lunch?.........Some days are better than others..........Now thats a sandwich!.........
Gary is a fetishist and loves anything feet. He fell in love with Tori who loves to whack and pain those who find pleasure and stimulation in having a beautiful blonde displacing all mercy. Gary likes to be trampled more than anything. With or with out shoes, he does not care. He likes all kinds of shoe attention. He likes six inch stilettos, knee high boots or bare feet smashing and crushing his body and yes, of course his crotch. So Tori did, and did she ever. We will be putting some of that video footage up on the web site under the membership part of the site because it is really pretty hardcore to watch for the faint hearted or any of us men with balls. .....................................................For once in my life I am at a loss of words...............................................
Having the bed setup with 2 sets of Bonk’er (4 arms), Tori could walk, caltwalk style, up and down on her Gary runway and the crowds loved it. Well, at least, could not turn away from it! It was a sight you do not witness everyday. For the first two days running our booth, we had barely avoided being shut down by the Erotica LA lawyer and security for “pushing the envelop”. You think it would be pretty hard to do at an adult convention, but we seem to have the goods to do it easily. My Mom is so proud. This is what almost got us the boot the second day since some old lady felt it “offensive” to have someone trampling another person? I mean what do you expect, there are half naked Pornstars slithering all over the place and you cant take a little trampling? Imagine if you will, gorgeous Tori in her sexy outfit wearing 6” heels jumping up and down on Gary, a graying middle-aged man wearing glasses. A sight for sore eyes? No, maybe not, but definitely a sight for all eyes, except maybe the old lady who complained it too offensive! It had the crowds ogling and then some. What do you expect at an adult convention? ..........Good little lesbian.............................Hey isn't that MY job?...................Go get 'em cowgirl, rope 'em in.
Jeff stepped up as the saxy entertainer doubling as the sales rep pro-Bonkum endorser. An amazing sight was watching Jenny and Tori positioning on the bed as the Jefferman scored the sexy scene with his sax playing for sheer visceral and audible vibration unmatched through out the show. Tough work Tori, swing to the beat....Just another fun loving couple...You got to admit, The Bonk’er is sexy!
We got to meet Papa Hertz, a Dom Master who was intrigued with the BDSM possibilities of the Bonk’er. He invited Tori and me to visit some of the dungeons in and around the Los Angeles area to learn the ‘Scene’. Of course I will have more on those experiences later, in another series of articles. Much was discussed with many other vendors and distributors. I got to finally meet the owners of WildInSecret.com, and our friends FreddyandEddy.com kept stopping by to enjoy the antics. Our friends who run Intimateassociates.com stopped by to enjoy the show and say hello. It was great to see all the friends and neighbors whom we have been in contact with and progressing their business presence as well.We made a splash in January at AVN in Vegas and it is great to see the Bonkum ripple expanding. My job continues to expand and still makes me shake my head in amazement of what I am doing. Absolutely crazy.The Bonkmaster is a filmmaker, inventor, and designer for the company Bonk Designs @ www.Bonkum.com.

Bonkum does Japan |
|
I am building a business. I am growing exponentially. I am going farther than I have been before, both geographically and psychologically. I had the experience of building multiple careers, being successful, then dropping out after eleven years at the height of success. Well, maybe not dropping out, but evolving and shifting my power. The excitement of knowing you are on the adventure of a lifetime creates a buzz and such anxiety. I sit on a plane trying to learn as many words in Japanese as I can. I sit next to a beautiful Japanese woman wearing a face mask, like what Michael Jackson would wear. Her name slid right passed my ears since it was said in such a rushed Japanese accent, that I felt awkward in having her repeat it a third time. She tells me about the place I am traveling to since I showed it to her on a map I bought. I am on my way to meet with the Representative Director of a Japanese adult toy company. This relationship started at the AVN trade show in Las Vegas in January of this year and the communication is touch and go. It has been slow and yet consistent. I didn’t think anything would come of it, but then it came upon very quickly, minus the six months of emails and disruptive communication. There are said to be over a 100,000 hotels in Japan. Between 14,000 and 40,000 are to be Love Hotels. At 20-50 rooms per hotel this is big business. The hotels are totally packed on the weekends and really filled out through out the week. You can buy a room by the hour, or by the night. Cleaning crews work 24/7 and clean the same room as much as 5 times a day. I have heard that the masses of hotels run along many of the train systems, this makes it easier for the patrons to come and go, so to speak. This is the world I have somehow fallen into, and here I am. I am to meet an interpreter at the airport. I wonder if her placard will say Bonkmaster-San or Mr. Jordan-San? I am to work with her for 4 days and she will be escorting me from the train in Tokyo to the Shinkansen Express high speed rail. This rail system is fast, 270mph fast, and connects the endless stream of Japanese cities. My anticipation for the train ride is building. The train ride will take 2 1/2 hours- where a car would take 7 1/2 hours. ..............Yuka: the interpretor................................Takao: the guide..............................Electronic everything.....................
I meet Takao, a Product Manager for the company I visit, and Yuka, my 24 year old Japanese model-interpreter at the entrance to the city(baggage claim exit). The Placard says Jordan Dawes, no San.We get to know each other a little and communication is fun as we all try to get used to each other. ....................From train view....................................Yuka..........................................Another view of Japan from train................
We get on the Tokai express train, also known as Hikari. It is interesting that the train has an English marketing slogan “Ambitious Japan”. I ask Yuka why and all she could think of was that it looked cooler than if it were in Japanese. We speed along on the train and I try to sleep since now I have been up for almost 24 hours. It does not work and I stay in constant buzz of closed eyes, no sleep, wanting a shower and anxious to get into bed mode. We arrive in Gifu and are greeted by Masanori another employee who smiles a lot and who cannot speak a lick of English. We communicate in a flurry of smiles, nods and handshakes. We get in the car and drive almost 1 minute and we pull up to a building that seems like it could be a building for a cab company. There are few markings on the outside so I think we must be just getting info or something. After getting out of the car I realize we are already there. This was the company’s office. Wow, I am tired. We walk in and I see the liveliest most colorful array of sex toy furniture ever. Lines of hundreds of different vibrators, lube, bondage furniture, mannequins, clothing etc… I have never seen so much color in adult toys in my life. Vibrant. This isn’t Kansas… We all get acquainted and greet each other, so many names so little time. Lots of smiles, nods and other greetings and then they take me out to eat. ............Inside this new world................................Another inside view of Japan................
Sushi, it is. We start with drinks, Sake and beer. Many Sakes (Michi-Zakari)and beer, and then the feast begins. I did not see them order, but a line of trays and plates of food begin to roll out of the kitchen and continued for hours. I tried to keep record of all the food we had, Katsuo, Kinme-Dai, Anago, Hirame, Tokobushi, Toro, Shishamo, Sazae, Octopus, Tendon, Chawan Mushi, Hamaguri, Crams, Unagi, Angel, Dikon Root with Kobashira and Hida which is well known beef, from Gifu cattle revered for its tasty flavorful meat. Much love was shared that night as we really got to know one another and explored each culture. Much ground was covered and friendships formed. I learn that many who I had met from the company had come in from around Japan to represent the company and meet me. They have offices around the country and each have taken the time to come into visit and get to know me. That is respect in the business culture. The need for me to learn their culture, language, business etiquette, social etiquette, and mannerisms are important, but I also have to bring my own ideals to the table. It is an interesting balance of social tightrope walking. I have to bring the American–western flavor to Japan and incorporate the Japanese sensibility to the product that I bring there. That is what my business is about. Bringing my ideas and values and openness but yet also being open to other culture and incorporating that into the product and its marketing. I believe that the dinner was the beginning of that process and it was achieved in the way we all connected. I did not see or feel any mistrust or ill will, just a fair fondness to learn about each other and each other culture and people. We leave all happy and full. We make plans to meet at the office, visit a Love Hotel, and then to have lunch the next day. I then go and crash into the bed for some much needed sleep. The hotel I stay at is not a Love Hotel. The next day we meet and go directly to the Love Hotel to see the rooms so I can measure the beds and see how they are set up. This culture is far different than ours, of course, and so are their beds. They want my product and I want to sell them it. Win/win. Talk about a quick import/export learning curve. So here I am, visiting a large adult toy distribution company. They distribute mainly to the Love Hotel sector, which is the largest adult market in Japan. The culture has small homes so many in Japan do not buy furniture or bigger toys for the home, like the dungeons we make in America. They go out to these hotels for their kink. The furniture is not like in America where everything seems to be black or chrome, it is lively and neon with pinks, yellows, and oranges. The rooms are outfitted with karaoke machines, mirrors, lights, Sony Playstations, and bondage furniture. Many hotels outfit the rooms with different themes and cater to different tastes. You choose when you enter the hotels and look at which rooms are available. ................An elevator sign................................Never Enough Karaoke....................................................Sega anyone?................
These love hotels are constantly packed. You pull in with your car and place a free-standing sheet which blocks your license plate from being seen. Everything is discreet. The entrance opens into a foyer where you see a wall of pictures, backlit and whichever are lit up lets you know which rooms are available. If they are dark, they are being used. Of the wall, I see maybe 10% are available and it is about 10:30am. You slide in a credit card and then you get entrance. You never see a manger or anyone. The video cameras can see you though. You have a sense of quiet in the hotel. The hallways are empty, we are rushed discreetly by the manager, through the halls, since they do not want us to intrude upon the guests. We enter a room where The Bonk’er product would be setup. It is setup on the bed and I discuss plans for locking the product down. I designed it with ease of dismantlement as a benefit. Here in the Japanese hotels, they want it secured so no one can walk away with it. I realize the engineering I have to do to re-design and I take the necessary bed measurements. We discuss the many possibilities and I take a lot of pictures. What a world I live in! After we complete this, we discreetly disbursed and move out through a back exit, which even outside, has high paneling so as to not let anyone entering see you. It is all so mysterious. It is humorous how big a business it is, so much of the culture, yet so discreet. ...............Discreet is everything................ Do not even let them see your license plate.............
We leave to meet at an Udon Noodle restaurant. Again another lunch where the entire company shows up and we eat. It is getting hot outside, very humid, and my tie is getting to be uncomfortable. We all have a good meeting after lunch and draw out many of the deal points to our agreement. They want to be the exclusive distributor to both Japan and Korea. From what I understand, they want to market the product on the web, to the hotel market, their catalog, and to the line of stores that carry all their other toys. We come to terms and we all are happy. I leave to go back to the room to relax and have a break before dinner. Tonight we go to Shabu-Shabu and the dinner is bigger than the last night with more family and employees attending. Delicious, every bit of it. I have learned that the Japanese language is filled with many nuances and is very ambiguous. There are many ways to say the same thing. It is also not fashionable to express feeling in the language, so to express feeling or excitement they say it in English or another language. Yuka tried to figure out how to write my name in Japanese. There were so many variations to choose from that I got to create my name out the many beautiful Hiragana (letters). I also found out my name –Jordan, also means joke in Japanese. Hmmm. We separate the women from the men and the men take me out. I don’t know why until we pull into “The Complex” a Philippine hostess bar. ......................Good fun times..........................................The boys..............................................Here comes the buzz........
Of course all the girls in there new Masanori and we got a table right in front of the stage where the girls performed karaoke for us. Shozou, a type of Sake they drink like water there, became my friend that night, and the girls poured it in abundance. ..................Feel the moment........................I might not be a rock star here, .............................Groupy?......................................................................................but I'm huge in Japan............................
Such is the reason I was on stage much of the night, cowboy hat wearing, unbuttoned shirt singing the likes of Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, and of course, Guns and Roses-American style. I made an impression, loudly. The President of the company was in rare form too. Smiles were as wide as the as a rice field. .............Ham or cheese?...........................So much fun..........................I don't know what I am doing........
Laughter and good times were had by all. Angel, one of the girls from the Philippines spoke English well. Actually all the girls did and as they sat with us all night. They told me that this was a great gig to come to Japan and sing and dance at these clubs. They pay well and they have opportunity that they don’t have back home in the Phillipines. Angel tells me she loves me as I leave with the gents. I have no idea what the other girls told the guys I was with but we all had smiles and piled into the car. I meet the company again in the morning for the send off- all a little groggy and foggy. We still smile though and much had been accomplished this weekend. We leave on the express train again and I sit with Yuka and learn more about Japanese culture. I ask what the Japanese think about Americans. She replied that they like our individual independence, that we can and like to be alone and have fun alone. Americans are friendly and outgoing, and that we are easy to get to know each other. The Japanese like our spirit, our jokes, our unique, creative ways, our hospitality and willingness to donate to charity. I ask her what is she proud of to be Japanese. She replied that the Japanese are loyal, cohesive, and hardworking. They also need restriction and are not as free willing as we Americans are. What are the things the Japanese do not like about Americans? She stated that we are too individualistic, do not like to compromise, do not like to change our minds and we can be cold. She also stated that we don’t care about the little things. This would make sense if we are truly a creative nation and we look at the bigger picture. It seems that is a big difference about the overall concepts of work. The Japanese excel at the micro management where as America excels at macro management. Not in every case but there might be something to think about in that statement. Yuka also continued by saying we hate to be restricted and love freedom to a fault. She said a word in Japanese that she had trouble interpreting since it means so many words in our language so I will say all the definitions the dictionary came up with for that one word. Random, irresponsible, vague, remiss, lukewarm, trifle, cruise, strong disagreement, too much pride, too patriotic, and proud. I found this conversation fascinating. We bid each other well in our travels and each went our separate ways. We shall see each other in a month. I say farewell to everybody, person by person and give them a nice friendly hug goodbye, American style. I make it to my hotel in Narita and relax. I love those vibrating heated toilet seat/bidets. Wow I could live on one of those, especially while watching those Japanese commercials. Hours of fun.

A little kindness goes a long way. |

My personal beliefs and character are infused into this product, and the product is being less of a product and more of a feeling or a movement of thought and expression. I believe the world needs a more open attitude about sex and life in general. I believe sex is a beautiful moment we get to share while in love. Sex can be the most beautiful and open expression of love. Sex can be an open portal to spiritual transcendence. Everybody does it yet everybody is often embarrassed about it. Why is that? Lets think about that really hard. Puritanical upbringing is outdated, yet we still feel embarrassed or ashamed when we see others embrace or affectionately display love publicly. I feel that display is beautiful. It is an overflowing act of love that is shared with the world, an abundance of emotion and passion. What is not cool is why so many of us feel the first knee jerk reaction to be negative, or to say “get a room”. Why is that? What has us programmed that way? Like a beautiful work of art, love is witnessed ever so often. What if we saw random acts of love on a more regular basis? What would that do for the world? Spreading love could literally disintegrate terrorism and hatred. If you saw any lovers kissing wherever you go, would you turn and run or smile and admire? If you smiled would your heart be open and warm? While wearing that smile, would you spread another smile to a passer by? Would that smile on the passer by infect someone else down the road? Does more kissing equal more world love? I think it is worth trying. Everybody kiss your partner or your friend and smile when you someone smiles at you. Simple and easy, maybe change can happen. Maybe we can combat terrorism one smile, kiss, orgasm at a time. The Bonkmaster is a filmmaker, inventor, and designer for the company Bonk Designs @ www.Bonkum.com.

The strain and pain of business ownership. |

I sit here enjoying the rum from my friend The Captain and a sheet of blotter acid. Oh the joys of blotter acid. I fear it will not do the trick as I sputter and dribble into a foaming mess of words and babble. Damn the rabies or is it the acid? Damned Cujo, should have bitten him back. I am enveloped in the moisture of a drifting cloud. Sputtering and waving at the wet nothingness, it lingers, taunts, teases, only then does it pass me by. My dream island mystically appears through the dissipating cloud entrails. I am somewhere in Thailand (much like the Goldfinger island). The tropical island is quite large, many trees, many hills(-mts?) so if I am being raucous and loud my guests can still venture forth to a quieter part of the island for Jordan-less bliss and tranquility. I have heard it is sometimes a necessity. Hammocks under trees and huts abound to shade your head from the (sometimes) harsh glare of the sun off the crystal white beach sand. The moisture inhibitor (AKA-a bar) -“Apple Apple RocketShip” is placed at a not too far distance from the highest vantage point overlooking the majestic views of the hilltop peaks, aquamarine waters, and coral atolls. At the waters edge “Bottom Cupcake Fruit HappyTrail”, a straw bar for moonlight dips with a passion buzz allows for a more intimate setting for the beach bonfire with sticky marshmallow delight. The boat dock will allow for feet dipping, fun fishing, easy off loading of supplies and wild boar, and a peaceful footing as your entrance to my fantasy island welcomes. Let the stirring of your fantasy take hold, close your eyes, tilt your head back and let us dream together, let the hallucinogen help us collectively materialize this vision faster, together… Oh FUXKING SHIT, back to my ranting reality... I placed the product order two months ago...It should have been ready a month ago...It wasn't, so I stomped my feet and clicked them twice (or was it three times) and had just the product available for the sales orders quickly finished and available for pick up for shipment. I dealt with idea that the manufacturing company will take care of the rest of the order while I am gone traveling the world, generating new sales orders for business, right? It was not ready when I came back from my three-week journey. I call them and the product was supposed to be at the warehouse Monday for me. This is now nine weeks later than the scheduled delivery date for final product. Who is the point man at my manufacturing company? Apparently I don’t pay them enough for that service so it as always has to be… ME! Where was I? Oh yeah- Out of the friggin country. Let me backlog just a bit on this rant… this would be the domestic company in charge of all the finish work for all the metal part of my product. This is not where I get the hardware, not where I get the leather goods, the packaging, the labels, not the brochures, not the legal, not the design of anything creative. Just the actual overseer of the already engineered metal fabrication which includes tube bending, welding, steel bending, powder coating, and the transportation of the product back to the manufacturer after the final application. When I arrived home to collect the order, my manufacturing company said it should already be ready at the powder coating factory and will be delivered Tuesday morning. I get a call from my manufacturer that they had not painted the red versions yet. How funny it is, that this order was due a month ago had not even been powder coated until now. So in response, I let the clients that I have already pre-sold product to, know this shipment would be shipping later this week and made up the packaging and the invoices and did everything that I could possible do for shipment. The powder coating factory sent out a truck with the product, but it had trouble off loading for three days due to a water main issue at one of their vendors' loading docks and in doing so, kept the product hijacked on the truck. Stress and frustration boil as I try to keep cool and let the client know the product will arrive shortly and be shipped to them this week. The truck finally off loaded Friday afternoon, three days later than originally told, depending on which time I had been told that is, since there have been about twenty different times now. Unfortunately, when the truck arrived it didn't have ANY bases on it, just arms! Oh the joy! Also, the black and the white arms were all damaged and scratched, the only arms that were not were the red which were just painted. The bases can't even be accounted for yet, so until the people who account for the numbers come in at 7am Monday morning I cannot tell you when I can ship these out, let alone where they physically are. I haven’t screamed, but I have people screaming for me, and they have people screaming for them but nothing can be done until next week. My blood temperature level is exploding because I got the call from the manufacturing company about the bases after I had already sat in traffic for 45 minutes to get to their plant. This was after waiting all week to pick up and ship after traveling to Japan, China, Hong Kong and Las Vegas while at three different trade shows selling the product. I love owning my own business… So... back to the tranquil palm trees and cool ocean breeze of Thailand I go. Coconut drinks and peach rum... water volleyball and nakedity all day long, come on baby- materialize, materialize, materialize, where the fuck are you, MATERIALIZE...

The Adult Novelty Trade Show |
|
The Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo (www.ANMExpo.com) is an adult novelty trade show for the industry. Distributors, chain stores, large home party companies, and customers that buy at distributor quantities are invited to attend. This is show is geared for the manufacturers of adult novelty products and is held July 26th-28th in the Sheraton Hotel at Universal City, Los Angeles. 
Now that I have the logistics out of the way, I can add my flavor. So, arriving late, like I seem to always do at these trade shows, Team Bonkum (Tori and myself), wrestle the bed up to the Rooftop Garden, via the loading dock in the basement, via the kitchen, joy, the kitchen staff loved us carting through. Then I setup the bed and continue loading in the rest of the goodies, while Tori got ready to model. We have this setup down pat since we have now done four trade shows in a month. The show is really spread out over two main ballrooms downstairs, the rooftop garden, and the poolside rooms also showcasing other vendors’ booths. As we walk in we see a higher caliber of toys and products that would normally be at a trade show. Lubes, oils, dildo’s, massager’s, condoms, herbal supplements, blow-up dolls, vibrators, butt plugs, videos, books, remedies, candies, and a multitude of other products and services. Some standouts were the make your own dildo kit @ www.EmpireLabs.com and the aesthetic forms of Fun Factory vibrators @ www.FunFactoryUSA.com, the unusual vibrators of Natural Contours @ www.Natural-Contours.com and the Erotica Video collection of Dr Michael Perry @ www.SexualIntimacy.com. The videos he offers are high quality production and are very tasteful and he has a great collection of various topics. Another standout are our friends JT Stockroom @ www.Stockroom.com, they offer high caliber leather accessories and products to the BDSM and fetish market. Nasstoys, Doc Johnson, Topco, Cal Exotics, and Pipedream were all represented downstairs in the ballrooms. These are the original companies that founded and created ANME. ................................
The temperature upstairs was freezing since the air conditioning was jammed on high. The foot traffic was constant and not too demanding unlike many of the consumer shows like the AVN show in Vegas or the Erotica Show in LA. Getting the consumers our brand awareness at those trade shows is our main purpose, here, the purpose is to connect with distributors and buyers of retail stores. We did that and then some. We were constantly busy showcasing the positions and the variations on what the product can do to benefit the users. Tori was swinging around and showing off her moves and style looking as cute as always. 
Day 2 had a lot more traffic. Many repeat customers too from the day before. Word was out and the buzz was strong about Bonkum. I heard many talking about in the downstairs ballroom when I went for a stroll. I also heard from many who came upstairs to see what the fuss was about that they had come up just to see the booth and the product. Love to hear that! My buddy Jeff Magnus came to help out on this Tuesday. He knows the product well and can vouch for its virtues and benefits. He then played his amazing original melodies on the Sax for all to enjoy. Like a pied piper he spread joy and good spirit around the booths. JT of JT’s Stockroom ended up going downstairs with The Jeffaman at the end of the day to jam on the piano in the lobby for an impromptu session enjoyed by everyone having a drink at the bar. Another woman stepped up to sing along too adding a flavor of beauty and style to the show that all appreciated. 
Day three and Team Bonkum was tired from the traveling and the multiple trade shows. We were interviewed by numerous media and have been linked to the AVN site. Some vendors wrapped up early but we were still getting quite a few interested parties until the very end so we stuck it out and got to hang out with many of our neighbors up on the Rooftop Garden floor. All in all good times and we got to meet some more fun and interesting people. The Bonkmaster is a filmmaker, inventor, and designer for the company Bonk Designs @ www.Bonkum.com.

Yeehaa, ride em Cowgirl! The swinging community is alive and kicking in the always-sunny Las Vegas. |

Monday, July 12, 2004
This years Lifestyles Convention (www.lifestyles-convention.com) took place at the Stardust Hotel. It was told to me, it was the best-attended show to date. Over 4,000 swinging couples and numerous voyeurs attended from all over the world. I had never been, but had heard a lot of crazy stories about this show from many, many sources. Some parties are on-premises parties where people play at that location, or off-premises, where people meet and greet and then play elsewhere like a hotel or a comfortable home. 
The “lifestyle”, as it is commonly referred to in the swinging community, is and has become a huge cultural phenomenon. This sub-culture is based mostly upon female to male and the party’s usually only let in single women or a woman with a man. Single men usually cannot enter without a woman, for obvious reasons. The double standard seems to be a practical and comfortable practice throughout the lifestyle. In and out of the swinging world, I have found it interesting that in our society, we are accepting of a het-identified women who choose to explore the intimacies of another woman, but the het-identified men do not have the same opportunities to explore their potential bisexuality. These parties, however, do allow to act as a gateway for coupIes to explore their curiosity with like minded individuals, but not usually out in the open party but at an off premise party or meeting. I have heard, and assume, this would be different in Europe and other societies, but in ole USA we have some ways to go before our puritanical upbringing allows for some evolutionary sexual progression. Swingers seem to be in the upper middle class demographic, and multi ethnic and multi cultural. I have found swingers to be very open minded, and all seem to feel stifled in some way by the repressive societal attitudes about sexuality and are looking for opportunities to meet like-minded people to socialize with. Many find the thought of having sex with others very arousing, stimulating, and find that it is a catalyst for improving their own sex lives in many ways. I had found that many at the “lifestyle” convention were more ‘mature’ than expected. It made sense though since the expense would be steep for those younger to attend. With the maturity of the guests come some of the benefits and disadvantages. The swinging community is very accepting of a variety of body types, sizes, ages, and shapes. Tori, Jeff, and The Bonkmaster arrive in the city of sin...
Being that this is not a normal “party”, but a whole bonanza of sexual awareness, The Lifestyle Convention allows for a bounty of experiences in a short time period. Whether you are there for a choice encounter, a party, or a seminar on your sexual subject of choice, you will not leave disappointed. The seminars ranged from topics such as the swinging lifestyle, male & female bi-sexuality, pleasuring a new lover, couples massage, marriage, Taoist sex, genetic sexual behavior, female sex appeal, erogenous zones, cross dressing, erotic dance, sexual health, sex videos, photography, First Amendment Rights, BDSM, fisting, gangbangs, bukkakes, and oral pleasures. Whew that was a mouthful, but you get the point. They like to enlighten at the show. Seminars and lots of adult play, seem to be the purpose of this trade show. In fact, this was much less a trade show and much more of a place to explore your fantasies in the city of all sins. The Erotic Art exhibition was an interesting venture to escape too during the show. There was a broad selection of art and photos of stimulating erotica. The marketplace area, where the vendors and booths existed, resided in the ballroom next to the Erotic Art Museum, which worked as a great place for the vendors to escape to whenever a change of scenery was needed. The exhibitors were diverse in the products they were promoting or selling. Online Swing Clubs intimateassociates.com or their online community intimate.bz They also have a very popular adult game perfect for swing parties.
Swing Clubs: plushparty.comDallasInterlude.com Swing travel resorts Hedonism-resorts.comDesireResorts.com Tools and toys for the bedroom: Just fun and very popular sportsheets.com,the fun and exciting bungee sex swing @ bungeesex.com, and the very interesting power tool attachments @spindoll.com, interesting inventions @ pleasurethrone.com and numerous other vendors were operating in full swing, pun intended. 
The parttakers of the weekend experience would drift in and out of the tradeshow between the seminars and parties that seemed to be a constant. The poolside seemed to be a place to be seen and was a focal point for many during the day and into the evening. There were some rooms off of the poolside that were dedicated to the “lifestyle” and to enter the party hosted by Club-Lifestyles, you needed to do more than be just a voyeur to gain entrance. At this party we saw a really hot couple playing in the middle of the room while a multitude of other couples were copulating in their various styles and ways. There were a couple of other parties around the pool in the hotel rooms where people could cum and go as they pleased;-) Every night of the “show” a theme party kicked off the evening. People would wear their most provocative, most outrageous, or sexiest. The kick off “Welcome Wednesday” dance, “Naughty Neon Blacklight Night”-Thursday, “Moulin Rouge Lingerie Night”-Friday, and the “Hollywood Glitz and Glamour” party on Saturday. These parties were in the huge conference center and were very well attended and consisted of Dj’s, dancing, and outrageous costumes. These balls would kick off the evening for people meeting and greeting and then leave to go off to another party in the hotel or by the pool for another mass gathering, play, and dancing. Many hotel rooms were host to hundreds of parties, large and small. The East Tower penthouse suites were the location of several of these parties hosted by Southern California Lifestyles and Lifestyles themselves. These parties were the largest organized parties at the show so Lifestyles asked Bonk Designs if “The Bonk’er” could be setup on two of the master beds in the master suites. It became a showcase of the parties. Hundreds of people attended these parties over the three nights and I heard many good things about the performance of it from the patrons and hosts the following days. The hosts, Susan and Steven, were grateful but said there were problems that arose from having it in the rooms. At about 2am the parties were supposed to close down, but because “The Bonk’er” was available, they could not get the people off and out of the bed. I guess on Friday night, they had four or five women using it in the bed together. It must have been really sexy because the roomful of men watching would not leave until 4:30am. I cannot understand, is this a problem? On another night, I heard they had several couples using it until 4am, I guess it is hard to tell people to stop when they are there to just have fun, I mean, at what point in time/position do you get a word in? When I was there we saw one of the rooms filled with couples or multiples of partners going at it. I counted eight or so clumping of couples in the one room at one time. Two of the couples were using the bed that “The Bonk’er” was setup on. Many were there to fulfill their voyeuristic fantasies and many were there to take action, but there were many, no matter how you counted them. Here you could see small clusters of group sex, couples enjoying each other, couple swapping, BDSM scenes, electro-stimulation, paddling, flogging, spanking, teasing, and voyeurs. We witnessed a scene where a domme actually made a sub he was spanking go into an orgiastic climax in front of a crowd of about twenty-five. She convulsed on the inflatable mattress for about ten minutes before recouping her senses. Down the hall from the suites, sportsheets.com hosted another party that was packed. The room was smaller than the other suites so it filled quickly and became a very hot scene, and I am not just talking the action, it was HOT. Here you could see many voyeurs and many exhibitionists playing with the Sportsheets setup on the bed while multiple partners were using it or playing around the couples using it. Sportsheets had also supplied many chain ticklers, teasers, and feathers for all to play with. We would dip the chain ticklers in ice and run them up and down the skin while taunting our partners with the sexual energy. The lifestyles organization is ever growing and they host many of the premier swinging conventions. They do this year round and are tied with NASCA.com and to many of the travel resorts catering to the lifestyle such as Hedonism-resorts.com and DesireResorts.com. The alternative lifestyle is feeding this growth as more and more people are being exposed and are becoming increasingly open to sexual awareness and freedom to choose their sexual expression. You do not need to be a serious “swinger” or be in the ”Lifestyle” to attend, you just need a healthy desire to explore your boundaries and be open to the possibility that you might learn something about yourself in a sexually charged atmosphere with the one you love.

Bonkum goes to Burning Man |
|
As Austin "Danger" Powers would say...the wildest party of all times."...anonymous sex with multiple partners, in a consequence free environment..." I'm kidding of course, I love any chance to work in Austin, but you can have that here, if you want it, and anything else your heart desires... ...........................................................................................................It all begins with a bed...what you decide to do is up to you!
Let me begin this blog this way. I love Burning Man!!! This ‘Glitter Monkey Rodeo’, is the very essence and spirit, of what an arts festival should be. There is a feeling and pulse of an electronic art-dance-peace-love-in. It is a fascinating social structure, a beautiful community, and a mind and heart opening experience. I had the best time ever. However, this was not the best burn ever, I just had the best time ever. The art installations were not as prolific or numerous as in the years past, the burn was not as grandiose, and the Opera was not performing before the Temple Burn. There were also many first timers who did not know certain assumed Burning Man legends, so it was tough to fight the masses during the actual run around the fire at the Burn, but still a blast, and very well worth it. There are way too few words describing emotions in our language to understand what the experience is like, so do not really judge until you get the experience of being there. Do not use this, or any article, book, news show, anything that you may read or see, decide your perception about the festival. One thing the Burning Man experience has taught me, you cannot describe the indescribable. So when someone asks, what is it like, keep it vague, short, and don’t waste either of your time. This was my experience. Everyone at my camp and at Burning Man had a completely different version of the experience, even though we sometimes occupied the same space, time, or even similar emotions, but our experiences were vastly different. Words will never convey, to the non-partaker, the collective information the body receives, being in the middle of the exciting chaos that is Burning Man. So many beautifully strange people, so many exotic sounds, so much amazing music, so many weird and bizarre experiences, so much extreme everything, happening all at once. This is Heaven and this is Hell, depending on your state of mind and attitude. In the years past I have gone out to Burning Man because of the community, the art, the music, the complete and utter visceral extreme exuberance slammed into the senses, and the escapism of civilization as we know it. I respect the experience, so do the tens of thousands that venture forth each year to be a part of this dream. This year was not much different, but I did need the escapism more than anything since I have been so jam-slammed-packed-busy. I chalked up the expense and the experience, as a business write off, do to the making and promotion of, Camp Bonkum. So in a last minute (a day or two) scramble to get all the required necessities: tents, food, water, inflatable mattresses, tent stakes, mushrooms, ecstasy, pot brownies, sunglasses, sun block, Marcia, Jan, and Cyndi (my fat, naked, blow-up dolls), bandannas, our souls, and as much fur, makeup, and bizarre costume extravagances that you can think of, we pack it all into the our bubble transport and whisk away to the dusty desert. ‘Ben of Love and Pleasure’, (BOLAP), and me, (Bonkinator), are off on our merry way. First stop, gas station, second stop food, third stop, to pick up our friend, David, (JungMan). Jungman is our resident our Jungian psychologist. We all need one in our social mix these days. Two hours go by and the anxiousness sets in. Are we ever going to get on the road? We still had to meet up with Yvonne (Fuzzy Sateen), Henry (Rabid Elf), and Julie (Blue Pixie Stix), an hour and a half away in Frazier Park, near the Grapevine. We fly out of town only to get ten minutes before the highway becomes a parking lot. I love LA. That little butterfly buzz in the belly starts to creep inwards, that feeling that we are in for a treat and some serious goodtime fun. I love that feeling of anticipation. That excitement is undeniably a rush of adrenaline. We make it up to Rabid Elf and Fuzzy Sateen's place about 4:30pm and start to load the RV with wood, tools, fur, a 50 gallon water barrel, The Bonk’er parts, as many bikes as we can fit in the trailer, tents, more fur, and a some more fur. Did I mention yet, the fur? Pink, red, and white fur, you betcha baby! Never enough fur. So on the road we go, and a very long trip it is, so out come the Djembe, and the other assorted drums and percussion tools, the music gets turned up, no matter who is asleep. The drivers rule the road, and pulse of the music is the rhythm, the melody, our excitement keeps the beat. Around 2:30am we get a flat. We had never before had a flat in an RV. This is an adventure! We call AAA and we call the RV Company. Normally with strong, burly men around, we take care of our own, but in this case the tired hours at 2:30 am we call for someone to do the dirty work. Well we found out that unless you have AAA coverage for RV’s you’re out of luck. Unfortunately we had hung up the phone with the RV Company when they said it would take 90 minutes to get someone out there. When AAA came out forty-five minutes after we called, and they told us this information, we sheepishly called the RV Company back to hail their services again, and wait another 90 minutes. Joy. We slept. Around 5:30am we got back on the road. This was in Sacramento, so we still had some way to go. Reno was coming up and then we had to go another 100 miles North from there. We had left on Wednesday hoping to arrive in the wee hours of Thursday morning, it turned out to be more like around 11am. ...................The car races across the Playa.................Photos by BOLAP..................................We enter a new world...........................
We cruise through Gerlach, N.V., the last hint of civilization before we enter Black Rock City. After Gerlach, we roll off the pavement and onto the playa, we had to pickup some tickets at will-call. The dusty, post apocalyptic looking Black Rock City, N.V. and the ‘Vault of Heaven’ themed Burning Man 2004 was awaiting our arrival. A car screams by in the distance kicking up the coolest cloud, I stare at it in amazement, a dream, I have always wanted to speed over the playa at two hundred mph plus. I feel the anticipation of my first-time burner partners. The excitement builds. We make it to those that greet us. They call themselves The Greeters. They spin the desert awareness info into a verbal regurgitation, tortuous, vomotus, spoken bile. It was a painful experience for the ears, just entering what should have been Shangri-la, turned into a sarcastic, twisted, and horrific melody of dialogue that they made us listen to, while we politely smiled and pretended we cared. All we want to do is get into camp and play. We’re fucking tired man, and if I am not going to sleep, which I was not planning to do the entire trip, then, I want to spend it my way, not in a fucking RV listening to this BULLSHITE-O. Get me going, move it on man, oh shit, a moron decided to pull in front and ask a question. (OH NO! Who, what gives them the fucking right to slow down THIS train man… Don’t they know who we are? My crew calmed me down with a smack to the back of the head. I relax to a calm state when they stuff a cocktail of Vicadin, a shot of Tequila, and a couple of yellow uppers with some sort of pink bumblebee-looking horse-tablets down my throat. I swallow, and the wash came upon like a vague memory of a distant blotter experience in high school when the hay fields turned pink and then caught that vicious orange flame under the rainbow sky. I was the king of hell fire then, and now my power has come full circle. I pass out and the RV careens off the path and takes out twenty or so camps, but who is counting at this point. I awake to the morbid screams of rabid, granola-crunching campers screaming bloody murder. I guess, from the stories told in the latest circles, Rabid Elf heroically jumped behind the wheel, knocking past me to the helm of this ship, before even more major damage had occurred. Major damage being that, several bloody, strewn carcasses had somehow lodged onto the undercarriage, and were dragged and mutilated under the transmission of the RV. No free rides here! So Rabid Elf was able to stop the carnage from worsening. Damn he's good. I guess in the pass out, I had steered the 45’ RV, with the wildly out-of-control trailer, directly toward the mass encampment of tents, but then Rabid Elf got blamed for the carnage since he had jumped in line and took over. It is mildly funny how those peace loving ‘Burner’ civilians turned real nasty and very un-peace-like. It was like they HATED us. How could they? I ask. They don’t even know us, man. We’re cool too, we just want to be part of the club! At this point, I realize I had puked on myself. I took notice as I run my saliva-enhanced, dripping fingers through my now, slimey hair. I did not care at his point. Damn it all, I just want to love somebody and now, anybody, you with your red flambé-hatred in your eyes. Let me love you? Rabid Elf is defending himself well in this tortuous, venomous, sneering crowd. He swings a long piece of lumber at anyone who moves on him, he is amazingly agile and adept with the wood. It amazes me the anger and vengeance this crowd seeks. Rabid Elf uses Marcia (or was it Cyndi) to probe and antagonize the assailants. God love that Crazy Elf, what a sense of humor! It is as if they actually care for the human lives that were lost! How odd, do they not see the statement we are making? I look to the world we have created so quickly, maybe this will be the theme for the camp this year. Camp Hatred Incarnate, we will suffice as its core lead group, to seek out, and hold a throne for its savior. I look back to the masses of the angry, we shall find a King in this crowd, oh yes, the one with the blood red eyes will do just nicely…I snap out of my day dream and back to the moron in front of me as he moves on. I feel like I am on Tattoine and the Storm Troopers look on to me in my Land Cruiser, I stare intently into their eyes, "These aren't the droids you're looking for", they respond, "These aren't the droids we're looking for" they wave their hand, “Move along”, I drive on and a dust cloud swirls away as we drive into the camp… Burning Man begins. The scenario unfolds, and we search for a campsite. We all have friends who have saved us a spot to put our RV, but we can’t find any of them. It is around noon and for God sakes, no one is alive. Burning Man is dead. At 10am they, those humans, all fall to the ground where they were last standing and sleep, you see them everywhere, on couches, on the ground, on art cars. It is the last location where the last of the adrenaline and ecstasy wore out and they fell to the ground. It's damn amusing since we drive the RV slowly but we still spew dust onto them as they sleep. Breathe, little minions, breathe. ..................................................................................................Arabian Furry Shit?......................................................................................................
We find a great spot by the longest row of bathrooms. We were in luck, we were up-wind, and had a monumental corner outfit. We set up shop in record time. It was simply spectacular when we all had no real pre-conceived idea for what art direction was going to transpire. Some called it pastel Arabian, some called it shit, but it was pastel Arabian furry shit. We had three inflatable mattresses showcasing The Bonk’er, a huge pink-furry-ceiling/canopy, red and white fur flooring, pastel, transluscent silky fabric. The rigging of Rabid Elf, made the wind a non-entity, the flowing pastel silks of Furry Sateen and Blue Pixie Stix added the touches admired by the fairer sex, and by most of the civilians in the Burner world. .......................Are we on Tattoine?..................................some desert collection of humans......................................cool perch chill spot.................. Really cool, at night the strobe light bounced off this spinning, the man looked as if he was falling into the ground.........The ever popular torch victim.............
Somewhere, somehow, we venture out and explore this psychedelic monster party. We are wide-eyed and biking through the majesty of the spectacle. No words or even emotions can be portrayed with the rush of energy and visceral complexities of this creative art fair. Gasoline is being launched into the air just to see how big a fire-ball can be achieved. Why? People need to know these things, and it is damn fun. Burning Man is the ultimate adult –scratch that, Burning Man is the ultimate playground, period. I love the complete and utter non-stop, balls-to-the-walls, A.D.D. nature of the place. Anything you want, go get it mother fucker, it’s out there. If you can't find it, look harder or build it yourself. ................Is this 3:00, 6:00, or 9:00?..............................Theses were floating with air in the wind........................................A vibrant brain.......................... ....This is our navigation star for most of the week.........People congregate around the base of the Man......They felt so much worse than they look. Playa feet.
The night approaches and the anticipation grows inside of our being, what will we get into?We get dressed up, wigs, goggles, make-up, playa wear. Dancing is on the agenda. The big red dome is awaiting and the pulse is inviting. Kan’nal is pumping. An amazing spiritual rock eclectric soul based band that thumps, mesmerizing and fucking awesome. Our camp is also fucking awesome and we are in a great location for late night mischief. 9:30 and Earth is our camp location mapped out by the organization of Black Rock City Planning Committee. We have landed where the clubs reside out on the fringe of the city. This is where the world speaks at night and so to have a camp here means no long stumbles across the playa at night and if you want a beer, something warmer, or a shag, camp is right around the corner. Fuzzy Bunny came to grab all left over fur from us......BOP was the funniest game I ever saw. 10 foot, 1" PVC with a Stuffed Animal beat stick! Hilarious duels...............................................................................The teddy bear overlord reigned. Exhaustion was the strategy for success. ..............................................................................Warriors came and went, always leaving exhausted.
The troops were lost on this starry night. Ben of Love and Pleasure was my wingman, and danced and played all night, we did. We happened into every club we stumbled upon. Coronas in hand we danced, and then we danced some more. Club after dusty club, out on the Playa we thumped and sweated till the next club drew us in and over to its core. ‘Lotus’ was a bang, we loved that DJ and the cretins who played there. Dancing with the lovelies: the cute Asian girl who loved to rub her freak all over us, the blondes who needed to shake their asses all over each other, the crazy Swedes (what were they saying?), so many faces, not enough names. The gay parade wanted BOLAP in his gay magnet furry-Pink jacket. Stonehenge and Revolution, were two other clubs around Esplanade and 10:00 that we loved. We met so many and danced with so many more. The sun was peering so we ventured to get more beer. Back to the camp we crawled, and yes our camp was dead, we sufficiently laughed and dropped a bottle or two and awoke all of the inhabitants, but we left as swiftly as we came, and out again onto the world, we broke free again. The camp was happy to se us leave. This was THUNDERDOME! This camp was so very cool, and ultra violent. When I saw this action I was mesmerized, and had to let my friends leave with out me. Bungee cords attached to humans with sticks, war was on! The MC was great when he made a TV crew become the warriors. They didn't want to be in the spectacle but the crowd wouldn't let them leave until they saw a duel! The cameraman had to duel with the soundman. I think the soundman one? So carnal!
 A noisy DJ, playing neighbor, with a brightly lit camp, caught our eye or our ear, so we entered his large dome structure. About ten women were all strewn about huddled for warmth and asleep while a DJ spun for himself and his friend. His friend was a Russian who said we could have any drink in the bar as long as we put on some clown makeup. I was sufficiently soused and needed no alcohol treating, so I donned just the makeup-a little rouge on the nose... on Rudolph, and Donner and Vixen. My mind wanders as BOLAP partook, as he is known to do, and also donned a red shnoze, or was it his forehead? The conversation was dull and we were the life of our party, so we left. Back out to the Playa, back to the dust, back to the sunrise and back to the dance. The sun was ever creeping, and the dancing was just starting to pump again. We came upon a new club we must have mistaken for a mirage, because it was not here in past reveling, I swear. We boogied down hard and the wind was brisk, the girls were bumping, so there we stayed. I just happened to look over to see a fellow Venetian, Cheeky Monkey, dancing with some of her funky brethren. What a world, full circle. We boogie till we could boogie no more. Cheeky Monkey climbs on stage and her man goes down on her behind the spinner. Good show old chap. Make that Monkey squeal! The sun was up and the moment was coming, the inevitable crash. Back to camp, like a sun-hating vampire I go, BOLAP in tow. I slam face down in the dirt, home again, home again. It was time to rise. Camp had already been up for a while. I felt good, surprisingly good and then I realized I had only been asleep for an hour and a half. Oh well, things to do. I am up. It was time to rock. I hop on my bike to explore. Lots of Art Cars, a Merry-Go-Round art car (?) powered by human motion, a double Decker dance bar car, a motorized orange furry carrot, and a motorized, size 253, copper foot.
I found the coolest solar powered robots with wheels that were cruising on the playa. If they were stuck against something, you picked it up and followed the instructions to send it in the direction of the sun. Each had a homing device so that the owner could electronically track its path over the course of the week.
Dust storms were fantastic to try to outrun on your bike. Sometimes you just couldn't do it...This was the Lush Camp. They planted Tropical Palms in the desert, creating one of the biggest camps and amazing DJ party zones.
While BOLAP and I were cruising, we did find a telephone booth connected to God. About a hundred feet away, a temple was elevating the deity, to answer all questions you might have.  This is Diana from Mexico, fun, free, and open.
Two white angels or were they blonde Mermaids walked by on ten foot stilts. They’re flowing silk, white garters and a beautiful presence had every head turning and many cameras snapping pictures. Hitler just walked by dramatically in full uniform. How odd! I wonder if he's hot? Do I offer him a drink...No, I need a snow-cone for him, and maybe a fuzzy teddy bear... I head back to camp to relax in the midday sun. Camp Bonkum needs a chaperone. The Bonk’er sets were up and people wanted to play. One by one, two by two, the people were stepping up to jump in the fascination that is The Bonk’er. So many were asking and so many were partaking. Men and women alike were asking and getting into The Bonk’er, fascinated with its capabilities. I even loaned out a set to a threesome after showing the positioning benefits, and they freaked out and had to try it. Off to their camp they went and the stories I heard the next day were grandiose and spellbinding. I was riveted and proud to somehow be connected to that moment, even if by proxy. They have a very liberal camp.  Photos were taken by my camera, by a desert wanderer who was friends with the exhibitionist in the picture.

The Rangers even came a knocking to try to see if we were 'vending' which we were not, we were just ‘enlightening’. There was one who was kind enough to try to not be a dick, but he warned us that there were the militant Rangers who had a chip, and so to be aware. Sure enough they came a knocking too, trying to exert their nazi-like pressure, without warrant. Yes, even I can piss off the Burner authorities. I need to put that at the top of my resume. 'Can design and architecturally challenge any authority'. I am so good at exciting those "in charge". As a kid I excelled at it, ask my parents, and my hometown police department, and the Deans at my college. It seems I have mastered taking it to the limit and still get away with whatever I am doing.

We bask in the being, and revel in our cooling camp. The wind drifts in, and the silks sway, calming our afternoon. We use the fur that was the basis of our camp, to make our Camp Bonkum Designer Burning Wear collection. Red fur body suits, jackets, shorts, shoes, hats… whatever. It gets nipply at night. It is a great break, before the storm arising in our souls for the evening endeavors.  The temple was exquisite this year. There was so much wood work to be burned. The structure was amazing. This was all cutout plywood, which means a lot of glue. When this caught fire, the heat was so intense.
As we were walking, we were approached by a trio, a man with two mistresses, dressed in orange. One would ice an orange cotton sheet of and drape it over you while hugging and wrapping her bountiful breasts around you. His other mistress would spank and whip you, and I relished the moment, after you come up for air, he would then send you free with an orange Ice Pop. I got over thirty five ass slaps and beatings out of her. Thank you. I love Burning Man. The day was blue and clear, gorgeous by most standards. The center camp was an oasis from the sun. Hundreds congregated and many classes were presented. Music, massage, yoga, painting, inner healing, spoken word, lap dances, coffee, capoeira, drinks, conversation, newspapers, peace. It was calming and beautiful. It was time to get back to our encampment. I bike slowly over taking in the undeniable beauty that unravels at every moment. Slithering around in a haze under the Arabian tent, I get a shouting female wearing black, hollering at me to join in the Red and Black parade. Not thinking twice I grab my camera and join the race since I am wearing a full body of red fur. More than fifty people in a procession proud to be wearing red and black were strutting their stuff. I must have looked like the king in my Red Fuzzy Monkey Suit. After about four blocks of screaming at others, who would fit our stringent criteria, we stop at a bar. Just so happens this bar has a stripper pole! Yehaaa, let the good times roll. For every female dancer that got up on stage, there was a male dancer who could dance their asses off too. This was by far the best pole dancing show I had ever seen in my life. Just so happens I captured most of it on video. Unfortunately in my foggy haze later in the day, I erased part of the footage, not much, but still you can view it here on the website when I get the camera back from my editor. I kind of fucked up the camera while watching naked participants fly down zip line and into a couple of mattresses. That footage will be up too, Fuzzy Sateen, BOLAP, and The Bonkinator - flying on a zip line in dusty wind only possible to be understood at Burning Man. Were we a sight for sore eyes? No just strange. The night had arrived and now the time to Burn. Laura (Super Sweet), Taryn, Jen, John (Laughing Boy), Tom, Evie (Spanish Fly), Charles, and the crew were all babbling, glo-stick adorned, and ready to roll. They met up with us to venture forth into the night, the burn was upon us, and the mayhem ensued. The crowds were wild, the art cars wilder. Normally the circles of light on the Playa give us symbols to navigate with, so we can see the Man of Neon in the center. This is our reference to the other lights for beacons home. This night all the art cars were creating an inner circle of light blocking the markers previously used to gain distinction of location. The confusion ensued when the man was burned. The chaos of the posse of deranged masses created havoc and complete disarray. I loved it, what a melee. Somehow we ended up lost from each other and across the playa. Too bad, but Lush, the dance club at 2:00 and Esplanade, on the other side of the desert, was rocking. So dancing we did. Woooo hoooo, the tropical palm tree’s they had planted, created a theme that was magically enlightening, we had found our oasis. We climbed an abandoned double story art car overlooking the party. Chaos was seen in the revelers singing, shouting, dancing, and screaming, I was relishing the moment and did not want it to end. The music was so off-the-hook and the party-goers were having the time of their life. Stumbling back in the darkness we found a chain link fence, built as a telephone booth. I really still don't know who we were supposed to call since I was a little distracted by the energy and moment. Fun times... Photos by BOLAP.....Rabid Elf revealed..............................Rabid Elf and Blue Pixie Stix.....................
Stumbling across the playa was so much fun in the middle of the night, art cars and neon, bikers and pedestrians, costumes, and craziness. This is my experience. We get back to camp and continue the adrenaline juice. Eventually everyone finds there way back and everyone has stories to tell. Never enough time, never enough stories, never enough parties. This is the time of the experience when things got really fun, but that is something I have to take with me, and not for public consumption. Yes, I have to edit a little bit to protect the innoce…? Errr well, you know, maybe not innocent, but some do have to have their privacy… The day after the burn, we continue to showcase The Bonk’er and its magical powers. We saw many Burners pack up and leave for the mainland, civilization. It was sad to see our own finality slowly coming upon us. A state of venturing back into 'the other world,' was a sobering reality. Jungman decided he had enough and hitchhiked out back to Reno. Funny thing is, he only got a couple of hundred feet before the truck he hitched a ride with, broke down. So off he went to find another ride. He ended up in Reno at a Motel 6 and slept there that night. He hitched a ride back up with us when we were ready to roll by the day after. The Temple burn was to happen this evening and the humbling rush of silence was permeating our hearts. The chaotic madness that is the Man burn slows down and is quietly humble for the Temple burn. Silence approaches and we watch patiently as the structure falls. We all see and feel that this is the end of another life altering experience. I realize in this moment I had slept an entire 4 1/2 hours the entire trip of four or is it five days, and the wall had just slammed against me. I leave the temple burn early to get back to camp to eat. The troops arrived after I got the food out. I was about dead to the world and they wanted to keep the party going. I needed shut-eye bad. I went down and they went out. They packed camp around 2am after they got back but I was still dead. I awoke after we made it to Reno. There we slept in the RV at Safeway, beating the Burner rush in the morning. We pick up Jungman and we all use the time to shower and clean the RV so we don't have to travel in Playa Dust the entire way home. One of the best things we could have done. We all felt so much better getting rid the playa head. The trip back was calming and a decompression of sorts. We were all in a haze and wishing it had not ended. The scenery was gorgeous and lush. Food and showers were amazing. We turned up the music and rolled down the highway back to LA, beeping and waving to fellow Burner brethren along the way. For every single person who handed me an icy-pop, a sno-cone, a piece of candy, a stuffed animal, any words of fascination, a hug, a kiss, a touch, THANK YOU! You are all beautiful and amazing people. For all those that I didn’t get to meet, I hope to see you next year! For those wanting more info about Burning Man click any of these following links.

Rev.Dr.Green thanks, that was fun to read and see... and the coolest thing for me was a picture of the bike that kicked my ass. you see, the night of the temple burn i got a little high. ok, i got very high and later we all went to otter camp and danced to the bands there, which was very fun, but after a while my playa boi and i headed back to camp on our bikes...no more street lights, signs disappearing...very dark. there was a woman with a heart on her bike, it was lit up, and as i turned to check it out i went full bore into a light pole - ouch! over the handlebars onto the playa, full on sliding on my face, my whole mouth filled up with playa dust...it was truly a sight to behold! luckily i was not hurt, having done a fine imitation of a rag doll in motion, and i just got away with a small scrape and a little fat lip - no harm done. the woman on the bike and her friend both rushed over to see if i was ok, and we all laughed about it, and we rode off... you have a picture of her on your bonkinator...thanks for that! bike in background...note to self: focusing on the neon love in the dark can get your ass kicked :) That was Susie from www.worldsuzi.com. I do not know if she has her website up yet, but she is a character. She is doing a documentary on Pink power, across the nation. Sorry for your accident, sounds like something we can all relate to out on the playa with so many distractions. I love your picture. You rock! FYI: Susie was in The Bonk'er out on the playa.

The Down Low: Blow By BlowDay OneDo you hear that cracking? No? Well, that is my back cracking as I expressively pull my arms wide representing how open and free I am becoming. I am in the midst of an awakening, spiritually not so much sexually. I have always been very available to not being uncomfortable or shocked in situations that might scare or offend others, so as I write this about the first Gay trade show I have encountered, some might feel I have turned to the other side. Unfortunately, for the boys at this show who wished this, no. 
In this crazy line of business I have designed, I am now branching in to new territories. I have to, well, I want to market not only to the hetero market but the Gay, Lesbian, BDSM, Fetish, and Swinger markets. There are others that derive from those markets, like swinger clubs, gentleman’s clubs, etc… but for now I am focusing on the efforts to delve into the five markets mentioned before. So, as I begin my entry into the gay market…the first foray is the Gay Erotic Expo LA 2004 trade show! WOW! That is all I have to say. Just when I think I have seen it all… This show comes along. It is a small show, smaller than I thought. Many vendors did not come due to missed flights due to the hurricanes in the south, whatever. There was still quite a strong wind blowing the gay contingent, showing the sponsoring vendors such as Raging Stallion, Falcon Studios, RAD VIDEO, and numerous others. It was so much fun. I was one of the very few heteros that were there. That was fun since every gay man wants to be the one to turn you. I felt like a sexy stripper at a bachelor party. Gay men, scratch that all men, seem so forward, or maybe it was because we were at a sex convention and the horny meter was turned on overdrive. .....................The Bonkmaster Swings......................................Lambert and Cashetta......................................The crowds were mesmerized...............
Anyway, I set up my booth not knowing what to expect. I immediately saw the Porn Star Michael Brandon (AKA The Monster, more on that later), whom I had previously met at ANMExpo.com when he introduced himself stating he wanted The Bonk’er for a fisting video he was producing. We have had several email correspondence and discussed several avenues for mutual business opportunities. When we met, he introduced me to his team of studs, his line up of ‘Raging Stallions’: Mario Ortiz, Parker Williams, and Steve Richards. Each was hornier than the next, especially (Steve Richards), that guy is all hands and kept trying to get into the Bonk’er and be showing off his goods to all the cameras. Who am I to stop that, free speech right? Great fun, and a good sport, all the participants in the show enjoyed it. "Hands" AKA Steve Richards from Raging Stallion
I also said hello to model and actor Jack Lawrence whom I had met at Erotica LA 2003 a few months earlier. He was sporting a fireman’s uniform and was driving the men wild as he signed autographs and posed for pictures. So the show begins and the crowds continue rolling in. I meet the security woman, Juanita, and the MC’s, the hilarious tranny, Cashetta and her buddy Lambert who entertained the masses. I meet Rachel of Outrageoustoys.com, and a score of other vendors who are neighbors and sponsors of this event. The vibrant haired trannies from (sexual awareness) were fun and loved to tease Steve and jump in The Bonk’er. Many patrons were amused at the constant entertainment, so was I, the MC’s did shows consistently all day and believed in shock value. I loved the shows, they were really pushing the limits, and of course I loved that aspect. I did not know they, or anyone else could get naked, but they did, full tilt boogie and then some. They featured the stars Jason Adonis, Matthew Rush, Michael Brandon, Michael Lucas, Latino Fan Club favorite Viper and twink newcomer RJ Tyler, and the stars held nothing back, literally. The stars not only got naked but also stroked, licked, and did more than could have gotten away at any other type of convention. I guess the convention center looks the other way, because Juanita, the security guard was on stage getting in the mix with them! She was absolutely crazy and full of life. I could not believe she was so wild and she was married too. She was on stage and touching them, playing all the games with the MC’s, and just when you think it couldn’t get crazier, it did. The Fans went wild for Jason Adonis, ........................................................Matthew Rush with Cashetta, Lambert, and Juanita.showing his better half.
Michael Brandon got on stage. While doing a show in front of the hundreds of spectators, he began a strip tease and then it got wild, all clothes are off and he starts stroking himself, pleasing the crowd more then even himself. He then had a ’friend’ get on stage and from behind him, started to massage his nipples and tease his neck, taking Brandon out of the moment on stage and into the ecstatic state that is where he needed to be for the show, and so the crowd was mesmerized as he literally exploded onto the crowd beneath him. I could not believe what I was witnessing. That was a show! The crowd loved it. I guess this must happen a lot at these shows because I think I was the only one shocked. Silly white heterosexual man I am. As I was shaking my head in shock, a police officer jumps on stage and physically takes Michaels hands behind his back and handcuffs him while taking him off the stage. The crowd did not know what to do run or hide, but then we see that the cop was actually actor Jack Lawrence who had dressed up in a uniform he uses for these events. He told me later that Michael’s hands were still slimy. I know huh, some information you just don't need to know. ......................................................................................Michael Brandon and his "Stallions"............................................................
So the rest of the day consisted of other stars showing their wares, you get the point right? Well everyone in the crowd did. The MC’s Cashetta and Lambert were hilarious and the comedy was spot on. Lambert was from LA and Cashetta was from New York and flew in for this show. They were friends and had great chemistry on stage together. I laughed all day while tending the booth and modeling The Bonk’er. It is funny I would normally be pulling women into The Bonk’er to demonstrate, but here the clientele is different, a lot different! It is funny because whenever there was a woman it would be instinctual for me to just guide them in. The instinct isn’t so automatic with the men. Hmmm, so when I pulled in a few ‘women’ and found out they were not women (think Crying Game), I was again enlightened, you just can’t always tell. ........Steve Richards gets whipped (he wishes).............Matthew Rush gets on the Bonk'er for a swing.......You can't keep Steve Richards out of The Bonk'er........
Usually I get some models for the trade shows but for this, I can model. I can shake my ass and get the boys excited. I would grab on-lookers and pull them into the straps showing the possibilities. I would grab my whips and smack ass, and that’s when Steve would see me and again come running. He’d have to jump in The Bonk’er and I would have to grab someone to play in The Bonk’er so I would not have to deal with him trying to grab me. ...............Rachel from Outrageoustoys.com.........................................Viper.....................................Cashetta and the nipple tweaking Bonkmaster............
As flattering as it was, the boy is just one horn dog! Anyway, the end of the day arrives much quicker than I thought it would have. I had a blast and loved the complete insanity of it all, as usual. I go home and tell my buddy Jeff, who usually helps out at these trade shows. He was busy that day and could not make it, but after I told him some of the antics and he saw that even I was shocked by what I had seen, he was in for day two. He had to see what it was that I was talking about. Day TwoWe both had no idea what we were in for. Unfortunately, do to poor planning due to the convention center; the LA tri-athalon is happening and taking all the parking. We finally get into the show and setup. We show up and I introduce him to everyone I had met the previous day. The day starts out similar to the previous day. Different shows on stage with similar crowds. My buddy, Jeff Magnus, starts to witness the surroundings and what I did the day previous, and his mouth drops. The stars do their thing on stage and he walks around meeting consumers and vendors alike. He watches the shows but then they get even wilder than the day before. That’s when Cashetta and Michael Brandon approach me to do a demo on stage. Well why not, got to live for now. I am feeling sexy and liberated. What is going to happen right? I had the full rigging of The Bonk’er with the black leathered Bonk’er Body Sling, the Red leather Seat Strap, and the four arms in red on a queen-sized, red satin sheet bed. Sexy! So imagine the sight of a white blonde haired transvestite, a black woman security guard, a black gay man, a naked white gay porn star, and me, in a tuxedo and cowboy hat, all on stage together. Well, Michael wanted to promote his new toy, a life-like dildo of his member he calls ‘The Monster’, and so he asked me if we could incorporate it into the demo. Of course we could. So I start by having Michael in some positions in the Bonk’er and that’s where it got wildly out of control and fun. Right there, at the beginning. Yes, I begin to show some positions and the crowd was receptive, fully knowing I was the token hetero, since Michael repeatedly told them, and so he strips for the crowd. That gets their attention. Since I was on the bed showing some basic positions, I get into the Bonk’er Body Sling. As I sit there with the microphone talking about the bed, Michael gets on top of me with his Monster and starts to demonstrate to the crowd the ease of use and the comfortable positioning while naked and on top of me. I see the audience is now WIDE eyed and completely shocked that I am doing this. Michael, Cashetta, and Lambert are all in hysterics at this and are having a ball. Many jokes fly and the audience love it.
That is when The Monster dildo comes out. So I get Michael into another position receptive for his own Monster, and I then call in the Juanita. There is only so far I can go since this is just the beginning of the demo. So I place Michael in a position available for the audience to witness and then I have Juanita manhandle the Monster and work it into Michael’s rear. I however, take the opportunity to tweak his nipples and excite the crowd a little. I had the attention to say the least. So I saw a lot of open mouths and “No he did not” shocked looks. She was working Michael well.
So then I flipped him around and showed off a few more positions and teased the crowd a little more with Michael and he began to stroke the countdown. As he began this countdown, His buddy came out to tease Michael. Nipple love and some neck tease, Monster began his magic. Well enough of this, my job is done here, so I begin to walk off stage, then I figure, screw it, and I jump in behind the friend of Michael and tweak his nipples. After getting this going I look over at the security guard lonely, and so I wave her over to tweak me. So there we have the most multicultural train, on stage in front of the crowds, audience in shock. She tweaks me, I tweak friend, and friend tweaks Michael, as Michael strokes the Monster for the crowd. It was definitely not your, or my, everyday experience. He gets stimulated and then screams GAY EROTICA LA 2004 and then explodes into the crowd. Unbelievable. Cameras were flashing, the crowds were cheering, Cashetta and Lambert were cracking jokes and calling me the 'formally' straight Bonkmaster. It was very surreal. As I walked through the crowd, high fives and nods of appreciation were recognized. Boys came up to me stating the show was amazing and that they loved it. All of a sudden there was way more interest in The Bonk’er and what it could do…People came to the booth and were asking all sorts of questions and getting in and trying it out. Crazy. ..................................................................This is when we stepped the show up a level or two, the fans loved it...................................................
I ask Juanita, how would her husband feel about this? She responded, he doesn’t watch these films, so he’ll never know. Hmmm. Interesting, maybe he will know if he leads a secret life. You hear it all the time, crazier things have happened... During all this, Jeff was running around capturing the moment with video and stills. He couldn’t believe the insanity of how far it went on stage. Laughing the entire time we just cracked up for the rest of the day. As the day progressed, we saw more traffic to the booth and people taking more pictures and getting into The Bonk’er. I meet and speak with Frank Strona from SafeSexCity.com. Frank tells me of the non profit that he works with in the San Francisco area that promotes safety, sex, awareness, treatment, and communication. MentorSF.com and CyberRelate.com are also part of his umbrella of companies promoting education in sexual practices. Please visit these web sites to learn more about what they are doing to provide quality services. Walking around the vendors I stroll past the Raging Stallion booth and sure enough, I witness another insane sight. I see a consumer who wanted a picture with Michael. At first it was normal and usual, but Michael has no issue about having his pants down for the photo shoot so the guy gets on his knees and mock kisses the Monster. Well Michael had no problem with it so the guy goes down on him for a photo. Michael enjoyed it and so the guy continued and went for it. Michael had no on e in the booth and was looking around for help, seeing me he waves me over. Knowing that Michael needs extra stimulation, I reluctantly helped out and tweaked his nipples while this craziness ensued. The cameras were flashing and I was cracking jokes and laughing at the sheer absurdity of the situation I was constantly getting into. This IS the Bonkum website, ....................................This girl is exactly who I am talking about!!! She loved this stuff and was so turned on by what are you looking at? The logo, right;)........................the man on man action, you should have heard what she asked to me do after that!
Michael kept talking to me the entire time. What do I say? The other guy couldn’t speak so I just kept talking to Michael. It was so surreal! Michael was telling me how he liked his nipples rubbed between his moans. Well then, again the Monster had his day and pictures were flashing and the crowd was going crazy. The bizarre thing was all the women who were intently watching while I was in this situation. After the end had come, several of them came up and talked to me stating how hot they got while watching this. Now this is where it gets interesting. I have been starting to realize and notice the growing numbers of women who are tuning in to watch gay porn. They love men on men for the similar reasons men like watching women on women. Maybe because one man is good, two is better. The body is beautiful, be it man or woman. I know this isn’t always true for all women, but I am seeing this more and more, especially with the younger women in their early twenties and the more self-aware women in their thirties. I personally prefer women, and I admit I like to see a couple of women kissing. I can’t think of a hetero, or many gay men who doesn’t. It seems fair for women to want the same. So all of a sudden, I feel hot again, to the female audience. They come and want my picture and are trying to get my number. Can I be a rock star too? How do I get myself into these situations? .........The Bonkmaster...........Jeff and the lovely Rachel from Outrageoustoys.com.........

Maybe we all should think about how we can please our partner better! |

I recently got this email … Very interesting, products for orgasms? Hmm... Well I have to say I don't normally need products for that. Is that your business? Hi there. Yes, actually it is. I created The Bonk’er for the reason that women have problems getting clitoral stimulation when a man was not rubbing or hitting the right spot. This device changes the positioning with ease and comfort so that orgasm can be achieved faster and with more accuracy and less work, so peak elation and self-actualization can occur. It aslo is amazing for just about any multiple angled position that you could fathom to explore or create. Elevated sex can all of a sudden aloow for greeater excitement and explosive fulfillment in the bedroom. I have heard nothing but wows and adulation of this product after its use. Heightened, more stimulating sex is the driving force of my business. Love can stem from that or it could not, but it really eases other problems in a relationship if you're both sexually satisfied and intimately connected. I cannot tell you how many women believe they are sexually satisfied. I truly hope you are, but I find that this is usually the initial response to any sexually related afrontment or question pertaining to thier intimate world. Remember sexual satisfaction is a relative term. If you are happy, that is great but what about in a year with the same person you love. What about ten years doing the same positions. You see, life is an exploration and with it you want a partner to it explore with, sexually and otherwise. Sex can always get better! Isn't that the whole point, to see if we can gain greater understanding, knowledge, experience, or enjoyment out of life?Sex can be even more mind blowing and internal as well as external! I have asked many women and found that many do not orgasm near enough. They cite problems within themselves, problems with lovers, with work or other outside sources. I want to change everything. The way we think, conduct business, the way we feel. Unfortunately we are fighting an issue dictated to us by our puritan upbringing. Our parents are at fault for not recognizing the hypocrisy they have been teaching us. They did their best but it is time for us to evolve at a greater rate and really question what is important in life and what is not. I believe happiness and fun is contagious and can cure so much of what ails us. Sunshine and exercise are also amazing cures we do not get enough of. I grew up in Europe so I see this country a little different than most. We have been lead to believe that our bodies are a temple. I see this is true. Then why do we not treat our bodies with more respect with the foods we intake. Why is our government allowing such toxins to be consumed which will ultimately cause cancer? We also allow the houses of Gods to rule our decisions. These decisions are based upon writings and beliefs made thousands of years ago. The core of all religion is a set of moral standards that outline good and evil. You know what was acceptable in society then, well, that was then and this is now. Good is still good. You see it all the time with people you are amazed with that act to better mankind, or at least their family and friends. I have found many women even through they think they are satisfied, are not. They haven't even thought about what would really satisfy them, sexually or otherwise. They are living in a world that dictates to them what would make them happy instead of questioning it themselves and really thinking about it. Think about the articles in Cosmo, Marie Claire, TV shows like Oprah, Dr Phil, the salacious ‘news’ programs. Most think that a relationship is going to solve all the problems, when usually it just complicates them. Do not get me wrong. I am a romantic and wish for the partner of my dreams but what or who is that partner? Most make stupid choices out of desperation because we just want a relationship so bad. I really have to question what I REALLY want, as we all do. We first have to be at peace with ourselves and as often as we think we are ready, we usually are not. We grow and evolve and change, so do our thoughts, ideas, and perceptions. I am not on any soapbox, just venting at a rate that feels refreshing, so you might be put off by my candor and excitement, but I get on rants and go with it. I have worked in the feature film industry for over ten years and was very successful but I got extremely burned out doing movie after movie. So last year I took a break and formed several companies. This is the one that is I felt could be the most successful, quickly, to allow me to venture forth on other products and businesses later. I will also be marketing it to the health industry for bad back and broken limbs and aged people needing assistance to get in and out of bed. Eventually I hope to make this a non profit and help in AIDS awareness programs and assistance through such organizations such as www.Nextaid.org. Please click here to learn more. I do not take life as seriously as many others, so you will see my humor and personality take shape in this business and web site. It definitely brings smiles to everyone, even if they do not buy. What more can you ask for in a business? I call it extreme positivity. I love the people that "get" it, they are usually very open and extremely intelligent. I use it as a barometer for those that enter my life. Anyone who is offended or does not understand the bigger picture of what I am trying to do (Saving the World One orgasm At Time) does not need me to waste my valuable time on their mind set. I am saying that if people can understand that I am trying to spread peace, joy, and love, then we would have less hatred, fighting, and war. I would love nothing more than to get as many sets into Iraq to be used. If they had more sex, then do you think that they would want to fight so much? Islamic fundamentalists are angry people with stubborn beliefs, they see only their way, what if we could show them that there are other versions of the same truth...

SO here we go… my buddy Freddy, from freddyandeddy.com calls me Sunday asking if I wanted to go to the Lingerie Show in Vegas on Monday, the next day. Somehow we both forgot… then he called just as I was thinking about it on the Tuesday night. Hoping that I would want to bail, Freddy asked if I still wanted to go. “HELL NO”, "Do you want to bail?", conjuring up the bravado…“HELL NO” he said. We originally wanted to drive, but then I thought of the traffic and hell getting there and back for an eight hour journey. The show was ending on Wednesday, so we decided to fly. While I was on the phone Freddy booked two tickets. Freddy picks me up at 7am the next morning and off we went. Vegas Baby- here we come. Well we weren’t going for too much fun, business baby, just a quick in and out. We arrive and shoot over to The Rio and enter the show quickly. I have never been but I had heard it is a good show to be vendor at. I walked in and it was quite large. Not Erotica LA or AVN Adult Entertainment Expo large but definitely bigger than the Lifestylesand the ANME show. We immediately see many vendors we know and begin talking business. Lots of lingerie vendors, of course, but the models were always pleasing to look at as we cruised quickly around: Shoes, heels, stripper stilettos, G-strings, nighties, bathing suits, gowns, anything and everything revealing. A Porn Stars’ dream closet. We did not have too much time to go too leisurely since we have only one day. Too many vendors and not enough time. Freddy and I were cracking up the entire time. Both of our energy is rocking, as always, and we both are talking a mile a minute with each other with the other vendors. Immediately we see Jen at the Tantus booth and Freddy begins to get a lesson on fisting. It was too funny not to take a picture. He just thought the fist needed to be pushed in.  Ummm, I think he needs a new ENTER strategy…
After we see the Tantus booth, we go to see Tom at Sportsheets, distributors Entrenue, Sinclair Institute, Domar, Alexander Institute, Eldorado, and Christie’s Sales Corp, some of the best vibrators on the market Fun Factory, Sexbungeeswing.com, Leather supplyLeather By Dante, lube and oils by Wet, Nalpac, plus size erotic clothing Simply Thongs, Leather BDSM supply Black On Black Leathers, glass dildos Phallix, body oils, lotions, lubes, and bath products Ceduxion, and rubber wear LeatherNot. There were not any shows this day but there was supposed to be a fashion show the day earlier but the entire show was pretty dormant by the others shows’ standards. We raced around until we couldn’t stand anymore and needed food. We met up with Ellen at Intimate Associates and had lunch before she had to catch her flight back to San Francisco. After she left we raced back in to finish the show. Pretty uneventful in the whole scheme of the normal wild times, but lots of good business and contacts made. Entrenue had a ton of books they were getting rid of, so I stocked up, but no where near as much as Freddy did. He has enough reading review material for the rest of the year. The bag we filled was a monster to bring back on the plane. He had to bring them though, he was so excited to show the goods to Eddy when he got home. Freddy bought a lot of product from several vendors and the day was a very eventful quick spin, to the city of sin.

Pink is the color of love? |
|
At Burning Man Arts Festival, I met Juicy Galore. Juicy is an artist, a free spirit from San Francisco. When I met her, (see my blog article to see how I met her) she found me as I was in the idle of shooting the bed in t he middle of the desert as the sun was setting. A beautiful setting during the last daylight moments of the sun’s fleeting glimpse, before the dark of the monumental Temple Burn. Juicy Galore jumps in the Bonk'er at Burning Man while I was shooting the setting sun.
While she jumped into the Bonk’er to try it out, we started talking about our ideas and world change. I spoke and told her about Bonkum, and she spoke about her project. She is starting The Pink Revolution which is about living in courageous abundance, rather than the current paradigm of fear and shortage. In her words, to “celebrate the awakening of our country, and be a part of shifting our global consciousness toward being loving stewards of this planet, and of one another.” Her intention is to broadcast this message to the world by shooting a documentary of her travels as she spreads her version of joy and meaning to the world by openly discussing the possibilities where freedom, sexuality, and female power can be openly touched upon and revitalized into our society. She believes this is missing in our daily world and we need to be reminded of our internal power. Thus the idea of a Pink Party was created, to build awareness. “A conscious gathering to reclaim our hearts, reclaim our nation.” I was up at The Love Parade dance and visiting friends when I met her at a Love Parade sponsored party at The Mighty, a hip warehouse club in downtown San Francisco. When I accidentally came upon Juicy Galore again she was telling me her plans of this party but was hesitant about where or when to start. I immediately jumped in to seize the moment and encourage her whole-heartedly to attack this opportunity she had, and to set in motion her mission. She was very blown away by my enthusiasm and excitement about her ideas and her intentions. I gave her ideas and stated the certainty that if she just set a date and told people that it WAS happening instead of that it WILL happen, she could achieve this opening campaign to seek exposure to her idea. Yes, she enjoyed the push. I guess I had her so revved up about it, that the few days following the party, she had organized a location, The Mighty, the same club where we had bumped into each other. She had secured a score of DJ talent to play and had set it in motion due to my encouragement. She wanted me to bring a Bonk’er set so that she could set up a fun play room during the course of this party. How could I say no, I had helped set this in motion, I could not squash her vision, so I whole-heartily accepted. This stated, I pack my car and head up north to venture forth on this revolutionary mission. As Juicy states, “this isn't just any revolution – it is the PINK revolution. Pink is fun, sexy, and liberated! We are all pink on the inside. It is time to stop alienating and start accepting. We all want the same things at our core, some of us are just at a different point in our evolution. We can no longer afford to judge and shame. A paradigm of limitless possibilities is here.”Well how can you argue that! Some new friends...  I arrive to the party to see everyone donning Pink. Pink boas, pink, hats, pink scarfs, pink shoes, etc.. I set up the bed and the DJ’s start spinning. The Video Jockeys and artists were visually touching up the evening with additive flair to the music. The San Francisco community came out to dance, eat and support. I think the event went over much better than I had thought, people danced till 4am and seemed so happy to be a part of the event. Using his computer and an array of diverse software, Kev Lar was able to manipulate the projected imagery of the evening to work in harmony with the music from the Dj's. Very cool and very fun. One highlight of the night, I got to meet KevLar a VJ who has since worked on a couple visual projects with me. I was able to hang with him in the booth and learn about what he does visually to enhance the show using his brand of visual art and motion video, music-synched flair. Some of the 3D animated, projected visualizations that KevLar was responsible for.
In the Bonk’er room people played, spanked and partied while a different DJ spun, creating a totally different aural flavor. All in all, I enjoyed seeing people come out to support a friend and her pink vision. A beautiful electronic flower resided next to the DJ.
Into the night there were numerous artists and visualists. While many danced inside, many were outside watching the fire dancers... I love how fire can be captured by the camera. It is a dance. All in all, it was a success. I think the evening created awareness and everyone had fun and danced all night long. People finally left about 4:30 am and filtered into the night...

A really genuine art showcase |

Sunday, December 5, 2004
Living in Los Angeles allows for much headache and stress. Traffic is abysmal, pollution is excessive, and the prices of services are astronomical. However, there are many advantages of living in a metropolitan surrounding. Culture, diversity, and art. I enjoy frequenting the art world here. Architecture, design, music, and art are essential to my being. There are thousaands of galleries and studios in and around Los Angeles and a thriving arts community flourishes. Silver Lake, Venice, Downtown, East LA, Hollywood are just a few areas to name of the burgeoning arts communities. Create Fixate is an ongoing art collective. A like-minded community that promote, resource, and reference artists and thier medium. Music, art and business collide to create a symbiosis which has been running three years long. As the website say's...Create: Fixate is an organization dedicated to supporting and educating potential and emerging artists by providing them opportunities to work, create, exhibit, and sell their art. Through education, mentoring, marketing, and cutting edge mixed medium exhibitions, Create: Fixate is committed to filling the intergenerational, socioeconomic, and cultural gaps which have come to define the contemporary art world. Below is a sampling of some of the live music you will see playing in part of the spacious exhibition. Dj's and other entertainment combine with live artists as they all jam together to create an eclectic montage of sound and image. Why do I journal and post a gallery show? I love to go and meet other designers and artists and hope to help use Bonkum.com as an art community resource. It is all about community and what better place to help promote and discuss love and art with other like minded, forward thinkig souls... 
I like to look at other things as well as the art. I was digging into the moment as people passed by behind me during the show, the reflections in the glass. The Alexandra was across the street. It seemed so European, a momentary escape for me.  I love old architecture. I love the mouldings and the details. So many developers trash this stuff. I like to run my eyes over each texture. Think about the life hese mouldings have had. What stories could they bleed? Above are my friends Bryan, Ludi, and Astrid. Sometimes you need to dance on the ceiling.
This is actually pantyhose sewn together. Intricate and very unique, the texture was beautiful and very original. The arttist had many pieces of various styles and sizes.
These two are from the really talented illustrator, designer, artist Kazuhiro Tabuchi. Visit the Patrick Finley Studio to see more of his work. Cool guy and works as a visual effects artist during the day. Below is Cory Richardson, a true Action Hero, standing with my friend Paulynn Cue Balaire who was my muse that evening as you can see her playing in many of my photos.
Ok, here I was viding off the colors of this painting. Then we started to mess with spinning the camera as we shot the image. Using phtoshop I placed the images into the same frame as the original work. Cool huh. Different variations on the same art. Notice the colors changes from one spin to the next. This was shot of some people next to me as I was messing around with the camera, so I threw it in the frame as well. Some friends at the show with me- Bryan, me, John, Danny, and Ludi.

Ok all I just got back from Las Vegas visiting the out of control annual AVN show, and yes it was crazy. I traveled with Freddy from FreddyandEddy.com and met up with Eddy, Deb, Celtic Frog, and the infamous Celtic Ranger. The show was as crazy as ever, (read the blog) or see the Bonkum video from last year.
The energy surrounding these trade shows is always undeniably more frenetic and wild than any other, rightfully so, when you have hundreds of the most famous porn stars milling about in next to nothing, while thousands of fans are clammoring to get pictures and autographs. The vendors seem to just hold on for dear life while the madness streams around them. Insanity purvails as the hordes of masses flash and snap thousands of shots while videocameras are buzzing and quickly losing power by the second. Jenna Jameson was signing autographs in between scowls of bitchiness. Nicki Hunter was all smiles and hugs. Tera Patrick was gracious and looking great. As for products, I saw some new ones I had not seen before. I got to meet some new vendors and artists also. I know, I have to post it though!............................................Lexi Marie is a good friend of Tori's from Phoenix.
Dwight and Mike from gearessentials.com my favorite brand of cock rings. Nicki Hunter and the Bonkmaster. Nicki and the Bonkmaster worked on some promo videos for Bonkum recently, check the Bonk'er Sutra Position Guide- Bonker Classic Set and the Bonker Extreme Set, The Bonker Classic Video, and The Bonker Extreme Video

This is Asstroknots and thier unique line of Pyrex toys. This is Scott Alexander, a model from Gunoil.com lubricant. We had worked together recently on some Bonkum promo videos.
This is Dr. Sheldon Burman founder of the MSD Clinic. I couldn't help myself in taking the picture of him with the sign in the background as he ate a banana. We had a good laugh about it after. The always beautiful Heather B standing with the Bonkmaster from The Stockroom.com.
The picture to the right is of The Bellagio hotel. At night is amazing as the water show shoots up to music. We didnt like Celine Dion they were playing but redeeemed themselves when then played some classical.
Freddy from FreddyandEddy.com and The Bonkmaster take on Las Vegas. We were in Ceasars here. Behind us is the most awesome glass art sculpture attached to the ceiling. It was beautifully backlit as you can see. This was the beginning of an evening of drinks into the night. Somehow we ended up in the Barbary Coast? Yeah well we were going into Drais, a great after hours locals club, at about 2, but it wasn't happening there yet-still too early, so the bar upstairs looked good (at the time).
This is Freddy with friends, Celtic Frog, and Celtic Ranger. Some pictures of the huge and beautiful holiday ornaments throughout Ceasars.
This was a crazy show that was happening while we were all eating at a restaurant in Ceasars. I still don't really know what was happening because the sound was so muffled. The fish you see are from the huge tank we ate next to.
This is Celtic Ranger, Freddy, and Celtic Frog after Freddy and I had been to Internext and then the bar since 2 in the afternoon. Yes, see his smile, we were more than beginning our buzz. The show was a little disappointing this year compared to last for me. I did have a booth last year, but still, it seemed not as exciting as last. I did see a lot of people and got to greet and meet many new vendors and see new products. So it was sa successful trip. I really enjoyed hearing the stories of the Celtic Frog Celtic Ranger. They were so excited to be there. It reminded me of myself last year. Very fun all around. The Bonkmaster is a filmmaker, inventor, and designer for the company Bonk Designs @ www.Bonkum.com.

AVN AEE Trade Show 2005 |

The Adult Industry Internet trade show |

Friday, January 7, 2005
So I get the call from Freddy about going to Vegas. I had planned to go by myself, but Freddy was all jazzed to go with for the chance to shoot business ideas at each other. The Internext Trade Show in Las Vegas is happening just prior to the AVN AEE Trade Show which we were both planning to visit and walk through. Internext (formerly ia2000) is an adult internet trade show mostly geared toward webmasters and controllers of the programming and business side of adult websites. It is a trade show for business to business alliances with other sites or service providers. This show is for networking and e-commerce both on the convention floor and after hours at the industry's parties. The show is January 4 - 6, 2005.
Ok, now the background is out of the way, I meet Freddy at his house and get set to take off. Deb, one of Freddy's business partner is supposed to meet us up there but is flying as we drive up. We both leave the same neighborhood at the same time. She to the airport, us in the car. Freddy and I can energetically talk about anything when we travel and there seems to never be enough time to talk all our business ideas out as we travel, so our drive went incredibly fast. So fast that Deb was calling us from her hotel to see if we were at the show yet. We weren't yet, but we did beat her to the show. Internext is located at Mandalay Bay which is on the closest part of the strip near the interstate 15 coming in from LA. Needless to say with the taxis and shuttle time from the airport to and from, we made it half hour before.
I walk into Mandalay Bay convention area to see the entrance to Internext.
Walking in we see booths of vendors who engage in all facets of online business:
Adult content (both photo & video), Age Verification Systems, Content Protection, Web Hosting, Webmaster Affiliate Programs, Online Gaming, Online Shopping Networks, Customer Service, Audiotext Bureaus, Media Buying, Webmaster Resources, Internet Billing / Credit Card Processing & Online Checking, Web Design, Internet Law Firms, Video Streaming Technology and Services, Search Tools and Engines, and Web Statistics.

Freddy and I weren't sure what to expect since we both had not gone the show before, so walking in we were a little hesitant. The price for entry was very steep at $195. In we go with some talking to the press public relations team there. There were a lot of seminars available, but we arrived at the time that most of the best had past.

We enter to see booth after booth of very similar service providers. Many content providers and hosting services. I was glad we came for the AVN show and this was a sideline since this didn't really fit my business model right now. Not to say this would not fit my future model depending where the business evolves to in the future.
We walked the show and met lots of vendors and other contacts. Freddy was really excited about the hosting companies. I just absorbed everything in. We walked it pretty quick and then decided that the air was just right for a drink and so we left to mosey up to the bar and get some lunch. We had to pick up a few friends of Freddy's from the airport who were coming in for AVN, and so we needed to get something in our belly before they arrived. From that point Freddy and I got loose and passed the time at several bars along the way to the meeting point. At that point I had already gambled at the craps tabled to minor success before the inevitable spiraling downfall the alcohol allowed for. We met up with Freddy's friends and continued to good times into the night... 2-3ish and then we had to crash for AVN the next morning. Good times, good company and worth the trip.

A Great online community |
|
Sunday, January 30, 2005
Our friend Paynie, who runs and lives in The 'Red Loft' in LA's downtown loft district, held a social networking meeting for the online community Tribe.net. Paynie is a member since 10/06/03 and invited Tribe founder and CEO, Mark Pincus, to come to LA to discuss and encourage Tribe users to come and speak out about the direction they want to see The Tribe online community go in the coming years. Traveling with his colleagues, Elliot and Brian, they all came to discuss the future of Tribe with some of the areas most loyal members. 
The Tribe online community is reaching far and wide, leaving Friendster.com and MySpace.com to represent a more languid, tame, and corporate feeling community. Something about the Tribe community has an eclectic soul and reaches beyond the traditional communal sources for information and resources. Could it be that the largest portion of contributing members are part of the counterculture Burning Man collective? It definitely helps and deepens the roots of the diverse nature of the community. 
Online communities such as The Tribe help people create connections that can enhance the spirit and soul of living in a daunting city. We may be a few miles apart, but in traffic laden Los Angeles, that can equal a daunting two hour journey. So to find that new career, to hunt for an apartment, get the inside scoop on a great local restaurant, or to just connect with like minded groups in the kinkfest mindset you might share, the online community is a home for those that need to share in that community.
To have a community work, members must participate. The more you put in, the more you get out. People share ideas, art, poetry, music, items for sale, dentists and doctors, professional help, and accountability. Be active in citizenship and you and your friend network will flourish. 
Mark discussed many ideas for the promotion and development of the network. He also wanted feedback from the meeting about what users wanted in terms of content, advertising, and proposed the question how they could make the site profitable without losing the community and values the site has now. Creative suggestions were tossed around and were discussed with intelligence and enthusiasm.
People were excited about being part of this community and were genuinely excited to actively help in defining the future. I do not know if we answered many of his questions but we did bring up many new ideas and did discuss some great topics they might be able to implement. I went to this meeting to see how they developed this community so quickly and tap into how they made it flourish so well, where so many other communities have floundered and failed. In being part of the meeting I realized that the reason this has worked was because of its members being so active in trying to make this successful. Having high energy members and excitable artists drawing on passion and desire creates an energy not matched anywhere that I can think of-besides Burning Man itself.

That's right folks, Bonk'im is here and in production. |

Thursday, February 10, 2005
After much engineering and testing, I am finally happy with the design and the results. We have recently sent in the patents and are doing a production run.

Here you see The Bonk'im on the foot of the bed. Here it lays dormant, waiting for use by its master. Check out its strength and sexy look.

This is the side view. The extended wings are what go under the mattress. The chains are what you attach to the legs of the bed to provide extra strength and support. The Lips are what you push up against with your feet.
I originally created The Bonk'er for women to provide assistance, leverage, stimulation and exceptional enhancement during sexual activity. This has been achieved and proven, so my creativity wanders onto the next project, how to help men. What can provide men better sexual leverage and assistance to achieve a higher orgasmic experience? If women can change thier pelvic angle to enhance better clitoral stimulation, how about adding a platform or device for men to leverage against. This platform will allow for greater performance, push-pull, grind, angle, stroke, placement, and positioning.

Kind of like a powerful footboard that will not be torn loose, The Bonk'im is designed to be incredibly strong and allow for stable and comfortable support. No more spinning your bodies around the bed to find a wall to push up against to get that extra umph. This is an amazing device that works so well. First, unfold the Bonk'im, then open leg extensions, then slide the leg extensions under mattress and attach chain to the foot of bed with the D-rings, clip to Bonk'im. Done. Easy.

The sturdy, steel-metal tubing, the tasteful and sexy Lips shaped design, the comfortable mesh-like trampoline fabric feel so good on the feet. I just want to go and use it right now as I write this. I am so excited about this new product. The engineering of the design allows it to fold up quickly and easily to be stored under the bed or in a closet. I like to leave mine up and ready for use.
Like The Bonk'er on its initial prototype test, my girlfriend had an amazing orgasm within three minutes of use. We both knew there was something to this. Well a similar thing happened with me with The Bonk'im. Within three minutes of the first time I used it, I came uncontrollably and got wacked on the head by my partner because of my short fall. Hmmm. I have to relearn how to make love again while using this awesome device. I am up for exploring the enhanced feeling and stimulation it offers.

I have not even begun to complement its uses while using The Bonk'er. Together, what a jungle gym! Both partners are finally using leverage and enjoying what could be the most gratifying and sexually stimulating experience of thier LIVES!

There are also new attachments and features I am developing. Imagine your lover lying in the bed on their back or on their knees. Attach an optional Bonkum chain or Bonkum bungee cord, (depending on the sensation you are trying to achieve- hard yank or spring cushion), connect to The Bonk'im to The Bonk'im Waist Strap we are developing. Connect to the waist of your lover, so that every slight push off you have against the Bonk'im, it pulls your partner onto you more. Push-pull action, enhanced stimulation will help in breathing and enhancing your rhythym together. Different leverage and a very exciting new development for the adult sexual liberation front!

We had a shoot with the good folks at the Alexander Institute this weekend. We did a new video for his collection and we showed the positions with this couple, Chelsea and Jonny Zinn. During the shoot I was sick as a dog and could not be my usually frenetic and energetic self. So as I dragged ass and plowed through the positioning, I had a moment of creativity and came up with a couple new positions. We shall implement these into the position guides at a later shoot date.

Thursday, February 10, 2005
Well we are working on some new products, as we always are. Here are some of the designs... Feel free to comment at the bottom of the post about what you feel about the pieces. Hope you like.These are the 'Heart On' model, two sizes for our testing purposes... These have a Dichron metallic finish which, because of the glass, enhances the sparkles and glow in the heart handle. A lot of work and love goes into each piece. Each piece is individually crafted by a glass artist we are working with, as we develop several more designs. The raised pink hearts on the shaft are actually Gold, fumed into the glass, because of the light refraction in the glass, it turns pink. We are also doing some with red hearts and a helix-spun silver handle which are looking amazing. I had a very good friend try these -for testing purposes- and she said they were the best feeling dildo's she had ever tried! The beauty about glass is that can be heated up and frozen for an additional desired effect and sensation. Run hot water over the piece or have a bowl of hot water next to the bed, add some lubrication, and explore yourself, comfortably and relaxed. Enjoy. This is 'V Day'... and 'G Love' This is Wing Wang with a beautiful nubby ring This is the 'Heart On' with a Silver Dichro Helix in the Heart and red glass hearts for texture on the side. Beautiful If you would like to purchase or inquire about any of the pieces above for Valentine's Day or as a beautiful gift for your lover, please email me Bonkmaster@Bonkum.com for more info. We will be posting these in our products selection shortly. The Bonkmaster is a filmmaker, inventor, and designer for the company Bonk Designs @ www.Bonkum.com.

Helping out whenever we can |

Tuesday, February 8, 2005
I have worked in the film, hotel, restaurant, construction, and several other industries in my life. I have seen much waste. Waste in terms of the excess scrap and debris, abundant food thrown out of restaurants at the end of a night. Excessive lumber and supplies tossed at the end of any developed construction or from sets torn down in the film world. These supplies could be recycled better. Food could be donated to homeless and those in need on a nightly delivery run provided by a business or a collection of businesses. Unfortunately we have not implemented that level of social awareness or have had socially aware organizations that can handle such quick turnaround on supplies and the rescources to distribute to the needy. Why not?I feel our society changing for the better but it is slow and we all need to help out and do our part. Finally the corporate world might see that social consciousness might be lucrative and worthy of development. The hybrid craze is hopefully beginning this shift and thought change within our complex society. This is an interesting idea for a business...hint hint hint. I am always aware to try and change thought and develop a better value product and service that will help and achieve a better world. Eventually, after initial business expenses are paid back to the investors, I would love to extend Bonkum profits to Aids awareness and relief. I hope to join forces with such NGO's and non-profits like NextAid.org to give help to those that need assistance. In keeping with this spirit of thought, I am always redeveloping a better and more distinct product. During these developments, I realize that certain samples and evolutionary changes of products result in redesign and repackaging. I recently upgraded the previous version of The Bonk'er to a more easily shippable version that will suit the customer better for transportation. This will also be better for my distributors and retailers. It will allow for more shipments made with less space used, dropping the shipping price for the distributor, the retailer, and the end user. The repackaging of the product has resulted in the excess of old packaging the problem of what to do with the excess. Even though the numbers of the packaging are not that great, I use this as an example of the thought I feel should be part of our everyday process, work, home, or school. What can we do we recycle and help others, our future children. 
So I live in Venice Beach California. There are a huge number of homeless here. Who would not like to live at the beach in Southern California. If you were going to be homeless anywhere, you want to be warm right? I used to live in Massachusetts. That is damn cold there. I would rather live in Venice Beach sleeping under the stars, than sleeping in a dumpster trying to warm up to a steam drain or the neighborhood rat.
Anyway, I see the homeless everyday and even in California in the temperate winters here, they are cold at night. I hand ot clothing to them when I can. I give food when I have it and I donate cash sparingly. I hire them whenever I can to do odd jobs around the yard. I have been burned by having them work around, but that goes with the territory. So now I have an issue, I would rather buy them food then give cash. Just my own beliefs. I have lost my car antenna (sometimes used for crack pipes-also known as the ghetto tax) and other instruments of value around the dwelling, due to allowing certain workers in my domain. I do not let that slow down my efforts to assist. So with the excess of boxes I had, I wanted to use them constructively to help provide shelter or comfortable padding to sleep on to some that might need it. I contacted several homeless shelters who stated they did not have the space to hold three pallets of boxes. As I was leaving one place with my box, I met a woman walking her dog who took immediate interest. I told her what I was doing and she just happened to be developing a new trailer for surfboards. Check ToloTrailers.com She said she was needing boxes and they just might fit. I gave one to test. She called back immediately and said they work. Great, she wanted the outer shell of the box. I had about a hundred of the inner packaging to provide for the homeless. More than enough to hand out individually. So off I go to explore the downtown homeless. I had found out through the homeless shelter that the restrictions on handing out anything to the homeless in Venice was really limiting. I don't want to get to deep into it, but let's just say our laws are really hypocritical. 
I pack up a buddy's Explorer and head downtown. The first few 'clients' were not too receptive. I have been downtown before to hand out food, but whenever you do, you must surpass they're suspicions and let down their guard. Once that is achieved, then the rest is smooth when they realize you are trying to help. Here is a group who were very grateful to the outreach. It started to rain as I pulled away, so I know they were a little happier with having something to shelter themselves and provide a surface with cushion to sleep on.

The ever time consuming and debatable topic |

What is Pornography?Think about what IT is. I have been wrestling with this question for a long time. I understand that there is a definitive, subjective line that we all draw at a certain point when WE decide in our own minds, what is beyond the scope of art and venturing into the nebulous nether world. My question to you is where is that line drawn? It is a question of individualistic opinion concerning taste, morals, possible social manipulation and a touch of family history. Where does the term Pornography come from? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------[French pornographie, from pornographe, pornographer, from Late Greek pornographos, writing about prostitutes : porn, prostitute; see per-5 in Indo-European Roots + graphein, to write; see -graphy.]-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So we get the term from the Greeks, figures, but more even more interesting, is that they were writing about prostitutes. Why do we as a civilization, connect a prostitute with something so negative? Speaking on behalf of Devils Advocate, pun intended, they provide a service that is in obvious demand, as far as a profession can go. Historically it is the steadiest job security in any organized civilization. Granted, some religious teachings and a few diseases have altered our perception on the goodness, or value it pertains to our culture, but this is a sideline conversation to the point I am trying to question. Let's get back to this later... Why is it deemed a bad thing if there is such a negative connection to this term, pornography. Doing a quick online search for the description of the term brings us... --------------------------------------------------------------------por·nog·ra·phy ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pôr-ngr-f)n. Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal. The presentation or production of this material. Lurid or sensational material: “Recent novels about the Holocaust have kept Hitler well offstage [so as] to avoid the... pornography of the era” (Morris Dickstein). por·nogra·pher n. porno·graphic (pôrn-grfk) adj. porno·graphi·cal·ly adv. Source: The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth EditionCopyright © 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.Published by Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok so... "sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal". So that would include most commercials, music videos, TV, film, print ads, internet, billboards, magazines, train stations, bus stops, taxis, and virtually all media worldwide... right? By this definition, all are causing sexual arousal on some level of attention-getting advertising and shock-value, attention-grabbing headlines to those celebrity, media saturated TV watching junkies, we call our youth, scratch that, our modern society. Are our youth being turned into sleazy, porn watching, media saturated ADD misfits? Probably, but are they going out and causing harm and destruction on our kindred folk, I doubt it. Just like video games, we have other lives outside of the world we choose to live in while at home. Another definition... --------------------------------------------------------------------Main Entry: por·nog·ra·phyPronunciation: por-'nä-gr&-fEFunction: noun: material that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement NOTE: Pornographic material is protected expression unless it is determined to be obscene. However, child pornography is illegal under federal and state laws prohibiting the depiction of minors in sexual acts. —por·nog·ra·pher /por-'nä-gr&-f&r/ noun —por·no·graph·ic /"por-n&-'gra-fik/ adjective —por·no·graph·i·cal·ly adverb Source: Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law, © 1996 Merriam-Webster, Inc. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Well at least someone over there at Merriam-Webster had the thought to let us know the legal implications of the pornographiic lines we cross! We still jump back to the vague term "material that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement". Hmm... I have seen furry animals having sex, I know that is a fetish in the world, would this be pornography? I guess it would if shown in a manner to cause arousal, but unless you are showing it to 'The Group That Digs Furry Animals Having Sex', most of us would not be aroused by this. This is here the term pornography is and will never be defined. What is pornography and arousing to you will, or might never be to me. So where is pornography a closed book case? Only when children are involved! I think this is pretty universal, since children do not have the ability to make a balanced decision by themselves, let alone the emotional ramifications resulting from such activities. Another definition please... --------------------------------------------------------------------pornography n : creative activity (writing or pictures or films etc.) of no literary or artistic value other than to stimulate sexual desire [syn: porno, porn, erotica, smut] Source: WordNet ® 2.0, © 2003 Princeton University pornography Still or moving images, usually of women, invarying states of nudity, posing or performing erotic actswith men, women, animals, machines, or other props. Some sayit degrades women, some say it corrupts young boys (whodown-load it from the World-Wide Web or exchange it onfloppy disks). Most of it is in the form of JPEG images.There are many sites on the World-Wide Web offering porn ofall sorts, almost always for a subscription. It is said thatthese are a driving force in the evolution of new technologyand techniques for the web. Advertisements for them certainlyconstitute a significant proportion of all spam. There areeven pornographic computer games, an early example being MacPlaymate. Beware - many institutions, particularly universities, havestrict rules against their computers and networks being usedto transfer or store such things, and you might get corrupted.(2002-03-08) Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing, © 1993-2004 Denis Howe pornography pornography: in CancerWEB's On-line Medical Dictionary Source: On-line Medical Dictionary, © 1997-98 Academic Medical Publishing & CancerWEB -------------------------------------------------------------------- Material with no value other than stroke ability? Who is to decide the value of literary or artistic measure? Our God's, our religion, our judicial system, our lawyers? I think we are failing to see that we need some sort of sexual arousal to feel. We often and regrettably lose the chemical, emotional, and physical needs and desires we all need to live, like air to breathe, water to drink, we need to be touched and we need to desire. Certain 'art' or 'pornography' is needed, like a doctor prescribes medicine for the body. It is a jump start for a chemical reaction in our bodies. What is pornography to you? We all have varying opinions and lines that are drawn, but ultimately, there is no definition. Whatever it is to you, is not to me. Granted there are varying grades of erotic art. Some are better than others, lets just leave it at that, until then, lets not use the word PORNOGRAPHY, because the term, just does not fit.

The very popular website focuses on adult product reviews, news, and informative topics on anything sexual and fun, is now in it fifth year and has evolved into a retail location in West Los Angeles, California.
www.FreddyandEddy.com was formed, sort of, as a fluke by ‘Freddy and Eddy’ as a side project. The hetero couple, some question the name thinking a gay couple, were frustrated by the lack of information about adult products. Information that could explain what the toys do, what they are for, which videos to watch and why. Freddy posed the idea to Eddy as a way to kick start their sexual activity after their child was born and sex and the marriage took a secondary backseat. This seems to fit a common theme expressed by many of the couples who visit their website and who scour the internet for help. Freddy was not getting the sexual activity he needed and so, to learn about products that would stimulate Eddy, they could explore together. Not to mention being able to would create a fun website for others, while playing and writing reviews together. How fun, it incorporates lots of quality time together: toy research, sexual exploration, discussion, writing, and a common goal. Brilliant idea for a couple trying to capture that sidetracked spark.
FreddyandEddy.com is an oasis for information, ideas, discussion, and advice. Kind of like a consumer reports for the adult industry, Freddy and Eddy are the couple we all know in our home communities that live behind the white picket fence, who partake in the PTA and local after school sports programs. They are normal people, well sort of, they actually did something about a situation that they were both uncomfortable with, and acted together to turn a situation most lazy couples would have been complacent about and turned into something magical.
There are always questions we all have about products and which ones that actually work well (Lelo ), products that last ((Fun Factory), lubricants that taste good and work well (Shunga), and videos that are high quality (Andrew Blake). Quality products are essential for the adult industry to move out of what the vanilla world has often deemed ‘seedy’ or having the pre-conceived ideal of being disgusting or in bad taste. It is this latter notion that has propelled the negative stigma with the adult industry for years. Freddy and Eddy are one of a handful of new companies that are shattering that ideal, and dare to elevate the industry standards on products that are out in the market. That concept is a relief for all couples who come across their website. I hear more people state their relief after they explore the website and see how fun and informative it is. They love to know or read about products they are looking for information about. The experience is always pleasurable. From purchasing, to the feel of the thousands of pages of information about erotica on their site, you can be guaranteed a great experience not offered by any other website.
Based on their success on the thousands of ever increasing daily visitors and growing sales, they decided to move the ‘store’ out of their third bedroom and into a warehouse to fulfill orders and gain larger inventory. Looking around the area for that warehouse location became an act of frustration, so Eddy had an idea to try something a little more adventurous. What if they actually have a space to take appointments and display products as well as act as a back office space to fulfill the website orders? They scoured the area close to home for exactly what they wanted and found it on Venice Boulevard. It is a great location with lots of passing traffic to see their website name and store front.
They signed on a place, moved in and started to do business out of the new location featuring appointments for upscale sexual products, advice, couples instruction, website fulfillment with a Hawaiian coffee bar. So far the process has been seamless and the business is ever expanding. On the lighter side it is getting recognition on television as Discovery Channels’ The Sex Files and the reality show Blind Date are highlighting the store in their on-air programming. The buzz is growing rapidly and the website is the place to be. The future looks bright with seminars and classes being offered to couples at the store. Couples pole dancing, how to seductively strip dance for your partner, couples massage, home sex toy parties (think like Tupperware), sexual awareness classes, and instructional classes on using unique products like The Bonk'er or The Tantra Chair. The possibilities are unlimited and just the tip of the iceberg for this fledgling business model. A business model I believe will be copied and dismantled throughout the sex community and country as our sexual awareness becomes more prevalent at this time.
Open most Saturdays from 11am-5pm (call to verify).

While attending and exhibiting a booth at the Erotica LA 2004 I got to meet an assortment of colorful characters, exhibitors and vendors, consumers, and industry veterans. At the Bonkum booth we had a couple of beautiful models (Tori and Jenny) and a line of willing men getting whipped and spanked at the booth by Tori. The booth was getting quite a crowd and a huge amount of exposure. BDSM mentor Papa Hertz was one character who happened upon us and liked what he saw. Papa is an experienced BDSM mentor and revealed to me that he would be interested in revealing “The Bonk’er” product for the BDSM circles he travels in. I have not been involved in that scene so he offered to mentor me and “initiate” me into that world and show me the ropes, so to speak. I told him that I would be bringing my beautiful girlfriend Tori along since I love spending time with her and she is so tickled and pleased to spank and whip our fellow man at the consumer conventions, she would love this excitement. I have always been open to new experiences but I haven’t been to too many BDSM parties. I have been to a few fetish parties where the “scenes” ranged from blood and needle work to whipping, spanking and rope work. I really wanted to get to see a real lair and a serious dungeon in all its working glory. We spoke briefly on the phone a few times so I could get the lingo down and learn the proper attire to wear. Being that I was excited for the first time experience, I would call Tori immediately after every Papa conversation and let her know what the latest info was. We coordinated the time, dates, and location of the party. Tori and I met prior to the party with Papa at a local grill to get to know each other over a drink. Papa was not aware of Tori’s beauty since he had not spoken with her at the convention and his interest was immediately peaked. We came up with names for us. Papa liked the name Jordan Minor for me since the organizer of the party was named Ms. Jordan. Tori became Ms. Tic. Short for Miss Lunatic since she wields a whip like a madwoman. He talked about femme domme play and the etiquette and words we needed to understand. The party was at Riverside's Dragonsgate Studios (www.MistressJordan.com) a location discreetly hidden in an industrial strip mall behind tinted glass windows which would never reveal the secrets within. Such an interesting location for a BDSM scene, I felt like I was about to be walking into a metal fabrication shop. In a way it is. We opened the door and entered into this world. It was a very normal office with a desk and a couple of bookcases. There was a couple that greeted and signed in the guests and partiers. One of which, was a photographer of the events and had published the magazine “Mirror Mirror” (www.MirrorMirrorMag.com) a west coast fetish magazine. After the formalities, they open the door behind them and revealed the new world awaiting us. We immediately walk into a completely different scene. We had “The Bonk’er” in tow and needed to get it set up and dressed for the evening. We were both interested and amazed at what we immediately saw. A man was naked and infused and talking with us about it. For those not knowing what I speak of, the act of infusion is the injection of saline into the scrotum to enlarge the ball sack. This is supposed to be enjoyable, for some. After completion of the process, it take a couple of days before the saline dilutes into the system and normal size returns. I have not done this so my first hand experience has to be placed in the hands of the enlightened who have done it and tell me about it. After witnessing this first off, I had so many questions, but there were so many rooms and bondage equipment I needed to see. I was a kid in a candy store. I set up “The Bonk’er” in a room Ms. Jordan set aside for it to be used and Ms. Tic went off to get changed. While Ms. Tic was changing, the gorgeous Ms. Sascha (www.SaschaDevere.com) closed in on the newly setup “Bonk’er” and with hooded-gagged-slave in tow, drove right into an amazing ”scene” hooking up his wrists and ankles to the arms of “The Bonk’er” and then using a basic spreader bar to attach and separate his ankles to "The Bonk'er" and it also allowed as an extra tool for her to hold onto while she began smothering his face with her love. What a scene it was she played it beautifully and teased and tormented him riding him like she would a horse saddle. I kept looking around for Ms. Tic to see this, but she was still dressing. This all happened right after arriving so the evening really had not even begun yet. Crazy fun. Ms. Sascha continued to put on a scene that got quite a bit of attention and definitely got me excited. Ms. Tic came out and was absolutely breathtaking, dressed in a black corselet and black knee-high boots. Oh my, did she had everyone’s head turning, then it was time for me to change so we could move forward into the evening to explore the dungeon in all its glory. Leather pants, a black tank top, and a leash for my Femme Domme were the clothing for me. I did not get the looks that Ms. Tic got, just looks of envy from others wishing to be controlled and maybe punished by the likes of Ms. Tic. She then guided me, by leash, into the main room and walked into the many adjoining rooms exploring the party and all it had to offer. “Do as I say,” she commanded, “Yes Ms. Tic” I enjoyed playing along. We watched scene after scene play out as we saw numerous whippings, spanking, floggings, suspension, and electrical stimulation. There was even a medical room that had a cute young couple doing some rope work on the gynecological table. This is where Papa taught Ms. Tic how to use a crop, how to slap and how to inflict a sting and how to use it kindly and as a stimulator. Interesting things we do for fun. This got us excited to play ourselves. All the whips, slapping, moans, and whelps became a seamless interwoven cacophony of sound like a masterful concert of music. The instruments being the perverted bent metal toys and devices that stretch out the strings of flesh and bodies which become the vocal bellows of sound for our collective pleasure. Ms. Tic began by locking me into a trapeze bar which was then hoisted up by chain as high as I could comfortably handle. Then Papa supplied the crops, floggers, a leather slapper, and wooden paddles and Ms. Tic went to town. What a sight, and I could see since I was pants down and standing in front of a huge mirror which enabled me to see the carnage about to be inflicted upon me. Ms. Tic learned the techniques and together we learned the words and the dialogue needed to allow for continued play. Red, Yellow, and Green equals stop, slow, and go. After every “hit” I need to call out a number on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most painful. I never went above 8 and Ms Tic was kind enough to ease the pain between hits with a loving kiss, rub, or pat of the pained and now bruised posterior. We had a great connection during this scene and many were impressed with both of our technique and ability to take it further than expected for newbies. Ms. Tic unleashes me from the trapeze bar and I sink into her lap on my knees to show my respect to her. I casually look over and I saw a large man be cuffed in to the trapeze bar where I had just been. Mr Tickles loved to be cuffed and tickled by Ms. Jordan. Ms. Jordan is a firey, beautiful, curvy, redhead who lights up the room with her spirit when she puts on a scene. She said later that evening that “he (Mr Tickles) had been coming to her for this for over fifteen years since she opened her doors”. She was tickling up and down the body with her fingernails. She would tickle him lightly and then a little harder then a little softer and lighter. I was so intrigued. I had never thought of BDSM as also something that was so light and fun. He was giggling so much it was infectious throughout the entire party. Everyone was having fun and they were feeding off his positivity. I did see several party'ers that I have remembered from some of the conventions. People that have stuck out due to their fetish wear or because they have come to me to talk about The Bonk'er. Interesting how this all comes full circle. I saw some goddess worship when I was looking around as I was worshipping Ms. Tic. My eyes were open to the exciting and otherworldly experiences of the BDSM scene. The etiquette and the role-play were fascinating to learn. Papa loved teaching us and has promised to continue to take us to a number of other Dungeons to explore more. I look forward to the next experience and am always excited to explore the world I have seemingly gotten myself into following this world of “The Bonk’er”.

Thank you so much for including us in the article! It is a well written, interesting, detailed account and reads wonderfully! We are delighted that one of your first forays into this world was at our studio and that you enjoyed the experience. Your play equipment was a definite hit!We would welcome you and Ms. Tic to attend future events with us. Please let us know whenever your schedule, itinerary brings you to our area. Our August party will be 8/21, Sept. party 9/18 or 9/25.Thanks again!!Mst. Jordan Jordan, Thank you very much for the mention in the story. I had a ball doing the session. Let me know if you plan to attend other parties and events. Mistress Sascha Jordan; Thanks for writing up your experience at Jordan's Dragonsgate. I'm glad you and Tori had fun. My take on the evening can be found in my column, which I do for SandM.com. I also had a chance to let MsTic [pronounced "mystic"] use her crop on my privates. She has an experienced touch. She allowed me to worship her a bit too, which I relished. Tis a pity it will be awhile until she returns. Ever since you introduced me I have been casting about for a legal case I could undertake in Arizona where I am licensed as an attorney so I could witness her skills as an exotic dancer. Ever since that evening I have been domming a female sub. I hope to introduce Jordan Minor to the joys of possessing and controlling a woman's body. I am fortunate to be a surrogate for an out of town Master who allows his slave to come to another local dungeon in order to experience a "taste" [of the crop, the whip, the leather slapper and the paddle; do NOT read too much into the word "taste" - grin] from other doms. She has said she is game to be dommed by a femme dominatrix so perhaps MsTic will get to learn about the different pleasures of domming a woman. Perhaps MsTic will give me notice of her next trip to SoCal so I can try to arrange a scene for her with my part-time femsub. /Papa |

ClubSlick.com hosted the New Blood Competition to seek out new talent in the fetish world. The Bonkum photographer, Jordan Dawes also of QuickBlinkFilms.com won the New Visions Award . The New Visions Contest presented the winning artist’s work at the Stormy Leather Gallery opening on Friday July 29th at 7pm to 9pm with a cocktail party to commemorate the work. The New Blood Awards were part of the Five Days of Fetish hosted by Stormy Leather and part of the award will be featured in a center spread in the San Francisco Magazine The Spectator. 
We arrived early to place the art on the wall. We met Paula from Stormy Leather and she helped us with accommodations. Unfortunately Cat, the organizer, had a passing in her family and had to leave town. This meant that many of the plans had to take a back seat to partial chaos as we tried to figure out how we can pull this off quickly. We moved the gallery space around to our liking and placed the art. It looked great when we finished. We left so we could change and be back for the opening. We arrived late due to traffic we showed up to a reasonable crowd and the drinks flowed. Wine and cheese with vegetable plates. The norm for a cocktail party.   
Two of the other New Vision fetish photographers highlighted, were Quaevide and Konrad Kruzewski. Check out here work on their web sites at these links. I got to mee them at the showing and they were very informative about the fetish photography scene in S.F.. The Club Slick New Blood Awards also featured the latest in Fetish Fashion by holding a contest for New Designers and New Torments a contest focused on the designers of new dungeon furniture. This contest was to be highlighted on Thursday July 28th at The Citadel. The five Days of Fetish theme mixed art, play, an assortment of fetish instruction and parties. This made for a popular lead-up to the New Blood event at club, Space 550 for the Debaucherama hosted Midsummer Nights Scream Party. My Mom took this photo of me hanging around. We brought in Jeff Magnus to blow the horn fantastic.  
My Mom told this guy that from the neck up he looked like a banker. We all had a good laugh. Its true, he does, in reality he is an engineer and he talked at length with Richard, another engineer. It was pretty surreal hearing the two techno speak while seeing him wearing the corset, donned with multiple floggers.    
Paula, in black, works with Stormy Leather. She was helping a customer tie up this neck corset.    
My friend Richard, in white, from Intimate Associates came out to support the arts and buy some leather pants.  Jeffaman is banned to the confines of the jail to blow the blues, but then got blown. Tori hangs around looking cute.   
I was trying to get Tori to be cute and bat her eyes...My mom shot this one of me too.  
Jeff, shackled to the cell. This cat can strike a pose! Grrowwr. Maybe more like, meow?    
Terry Hall, in red, is the editor-in-chief of Spectator Magazine and will be publishing the art in the magazine spread.  
Tori lounged around in the Dungeon. I think my Mom really had a good time in there.     
Paula is more than eager to don the outfit and pull out the whip. If I could only have gotten her working Tori, thats her in the background hanging on the horse. That would have rocked some of my fantasies.  
The evening was pretty tame, but all in all a pretty good showing. More than expected. Thanks to all who helped organize the event and to my Mom and Jeffa for helping place and hang the art. It always takes more time than expected. Thanks to Dad, Richard, and Tori for showing support. If any one would like to see the gallery, it is available fro the month of August at the address of Stormy Leather 1158 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA 94103 Phone 800.486.9650 415.626.1672 The Bonkmaster is a filmmaker, inventor, and designer for the company Bonk Designs @ www.Bonkum.com.

Yes it is that time of year again for that wonderful and amazing experience in the desert. The Arts Festival and its community that worship the Burning of the Man. Burning Man's 2005 Art Theme was "The Psyche: the Conscious, the Subconscious and the Unconscious" Burning Man 2005: Cracked Ego or Fractured Psyche?..........................2 men enter... looking through dust and exhaust fumes of endless miles of RV's .............................................................................................and mutant vehicles entering the Playa, these two show signs of hope as they await for salvation... 
A collection of terms to describe this festival would be verbose and undermining of the festivals true description and meaning. So, in my normal annoying fashion, I have to try and spew a few distinctly verbose upheavals into the world. This might help indicate to those who have not been, what this 'wacky arts fest' might mean to those of us who keep going back for more. You may begin to embrace the rough references that some of these English words might mean, but I still do not believe that there are enough adjectives in our language to describe what this festival is and what it does to our soul while we are there in its presence. Please bare with... What Burning Man is: Burning Man is a spiritual and surreal paganic landscape of a hyper-real tribal cultures mixed together, dedicated to embracing one another. Burning Man-2004 is an ever-growing all-consuming community that has spread ritualized dance, music, art, and fire in a combined mesh of a soul-thumping, life-affirming, kick-start, heart-awakening experience. In short, it rocks the soul like no other! If you need more of a description, think of it as DisneyLand for adults, but the kids can come play as well. I know that I get butterflies in my stomach in the days proceeding the Burn-trek desert-migration. When else do we get those feelings we used to get as a kid, pre DisneyLand? The only other times I get those nervous excited 'feelings' are when I am sharing love with someone truly fantastic and special, like I am with my beautiful partner, thank you Tori. Aside from those beautiful moments, which are far and few between, I am always trying to reach that level of anticipatory heightened excitement. Maybe that is too telling of my A.D.D. nature, but I am who I am and I love to live to play, at least, I live to work hard which will afford me my time to play. You think there might be something special ahead??? 
Burning Man is the most significant tribal and social movement of our time. It is a basis for a creative utopia, a communal society, a second seed of community based growth of what society could and should be. To better understand it history I found this great quick history page of the Burn... Burning Man-History. Are we taking what we enjoy and thrive-on in the desert back into our respective communities and societies? Are we planting the seeds that will sow and shape our future communities worldwide? That will remain to be seen. We participants, exuberant in nature, reach beyond the parties and the excessive flair. We dance 'where the wild things are', we are the cornerstone of this culture. I know we do express our thoughts, our ideals, our passion through blogs, and photos, and art, and expression, so maybe we might just plant those ideas that will help shape this generation and the next, but our way, expressing freedom, thought, art, performance, and the most important-passion for life! How can we transform our culture? How can we transform it's positively unique message of higher consciousness, creative environmentalism, art awareness, embracing community, inventive ecology, interactive connection, and social evolution, and help the world see through the clutter we abuse our everyday lives with? We have tapped into the highly activated community to do this, but will it transform and morph into a widespread social movement? I think it already has and the greatest part, it hasn't even really started yet. We Burners are taking what we can into the community and spreading its word like good little missionaries. Remember the damage the Christianity did in the Brazilian jungles? The message was clear at the time, but misguided? Some might think so. What is the difference between the message Burning Man is spelling and Christianity and are we really doing it differently? That is the question we must all ask ourselves? I do not try to misplace religion into the Burning Ethos, but there are always similarities when you mix spiritual awakening and social and tribal rituals. Come hell or highwater, we will make it to Burning Man... 
The Burning Man Arts Festival downplayed it's 20th anniversary with grace and did not trumpet its own growth or grandiose nature. It did focus much of its usual energies and flair on its steadfast beliefs of communal outreach and enlightened environmentalism.

So I was working at my computer on Monday and Tribe.net sends me an email notice, actually a posting from a member, for a pair of tickets to see Nine Inch Nails at the Cox Arena in San Diego. My girlfriend, Tori, had been giving me shit for not spending much time with her recently due to my work load, so I thought this would be perfect to take the afternoon off and scream - literally - we played a bunch of NIN cd's all the way down to San Diego - to see this awesome show. It so happened that the prototype samples I had been working on had been completed the day before- so I had them in my truck and they just needed to be boxed and shipped out, one to UPS for China and one to the manufacturer rep in Costa Mesa. I had not physically met the rep in Costa Mesa so, due to this excursion, I could stop by, shake hands and then drop off the sample to him. They were a great group of folks. Afterwards Tori and I left and were filled with excitement and were both horny as all hell, I get that way when I am free from work mode, Tori is always horny, thank the Lord - Amen. We stopped for a bite after getting through Costa Mesa. While devouring a Shawerma plate I noticed in the OC Weekly an advertisement for the article "From Behind The White Picket Fence", this are my friends', (FreddyandEddy.com), article which will be highlighted weekly in the LA Weekly, OC Weekly, The Village Voice. Wild, I had to call him up and congratulate him. He was happily drinking a celebratory beer with his bud Tom when I called. We laughed about the events of the week, both of us are slammed busy but we are both taking a moment to savor the flavor-so to speak. Tori and I continued our journey down to San Diego and met up with Mark and Lisa, the holders of the tickets, at Effin's, a college sports bar in San Diego around the corner from Cox Arena. We waited for the appetizers which never came due to a rush of other like minded Nine Inch Nails lovers killing time until AutoLux left the stage. Queens of the Stone Age were up next so we skipped over to witness at the Arena. Wow their drummer was on fire. Amazing band, but the NIN fans were a little non-plussed about the whole event. The lead singer was way cool and joked about the fans not getting into the show in a good way. He heckled the fans right back. The show could have had more of a spectacle but the band rocked really hard and I have to give them props to being on the show's bill and being subjected to the NIN hardcore fans. It was a great prelude to the show that was about to begin. Although there was an element missing at the arena: BEER and any alcohol for that manner??? Why, what, ooooh, killed me. I really wanted a frosty beverage. The crowd was so chill and docile, hmmm now I know why. Take a time out from reading this to watch this clip video by Queens of the Stone Age -- It will make you smile... Ok back to the blog. That was my segue for the NIN setup... ...and then the smoke enters... A sheer fabric surrounded the stage. We could see behind it and the fabric contained the mass of smoke billowing from behind... up and over the fabric the smoke billowed into the arena. Something was brewing here.. Then the stadium lights dimmed and the music kicked in, fuck that, exploded in a wave of powerful, tormented energy. Mark and Lisa next to us were thrashing about and loving the show, energetically dancing and grooving to the show. The light show intermixed with the sounds from a yet unseen band started the entire show off on an electric note. The entire first song the band was hidden in smoke and behind the sheer curtain. The curtain then rose, like the reveal of OZ to the arena. Billowing smoke spilled out onto the audience as the pulsating light and an aura of audible electric-metal sound collided into a symphonic collection of kick-ass industrial techno rock. Trent Reznor, though bulkier and dare I say, cut, had as much angst, energy and soul to energize small energy plant. He played classics like 'Closer', 'March of The Pigs', and the new 'The Hand That Feeds'. About five songs later the Curtain dropped for a visual segue into the next set but then the video stopped and then the Trent came to the unlit mic to announce that drummer, Jerome Dillon, was having heart palpitations and had to run off stage. He expressed that the EMT's were trying to sort out what was wrong. We waited. I knew now that once the EMT's were looking, it would be a futile effort to wait around. The EMT's would have to check him into the hospital. I was right. The show was cancelled, to be rescheduled for Nov 20th all tickets will be honored then. Damn, but it was good show non-the-less. With the mass hordes of people filing out of the parking structure at once, we got to our car, but the thought of sitting in the parking garage waiting our turn to exit with all the other attendees just did not work with us. We hung out in the back of the truck until the masses left. Now that was a great night and Tori was a happy camper. We never said goodbye to Mark an Lisa, so if you are reading this, we will see you next show, since you will be sitting right next us rocking out, once again.

Create Fixate (www.createfixate.com) October 2005 proved to be another success. Walking in we see the usual suspects of art and sounds mixing the eclectic nature of the visual and aural arts. Spinning her cool was KCRW's Liza Richardson Environmental attorney Bryan Theiss and Visual Artist Nate Pagel dicuss the ever growing concern for the environment and how to act through art to create awareness. Uwe Kneile and Attorney Colleen Cox laugh it up enjoying the creative mix in downtown Los Angeles. Below are some highlights from artists in the show... enjoy These images are from the artist Adrian Avila. He approaches art with a distinctive flair of his own. This is the work of the artist and commercial photographer Jessica Boone. I had the opportunity to meet and speak with her after she jumped up to cease and cripple my photographic nature. She ended up being very apologetic for her quick reaction but then we had a very long conversation about art and her visual velvety style of photography, and then she let me take a few snaps. Here is a sampling of some of her art. What I like about Jessica Boones work is the use of color an dof selective focus with a frame. She chooses a certain point to deride your attention too. Sexy, sensual and stimulating all at once. The colors are strong and powerful though you cannot see it in my shit ass photography. For that I apologize to all for this half ass effort. My video projector which was quite new, had been stolen from the event earlier that day or the night before and so my head was not really in the right space for being that creative. I am still dealing with the curator of the event and the insurance company to boot. Not a fun experience. I had let a fellow artist whom I also put up for the weekend, borrow it so that he could project his visual work, along with him borrowing two other video projectors from other people, mine was the one that got stolen. |

Venus Trade Show, Berlin, Germany |
|
2005


 The Venus trade show in October in Berlin, Germany is equal to the AVN trade show in Las Vegas in January. It is large and caters to the vendors B2B and B2 consumers. The show was a little more expressive in its freedom of sexuality but not as much as I thought it would be and not that much more the AVN in Las Vegas. Lost of booths and much of the same I have seen at other shows. Maybe I am getting way too seasoned but I think there needs to be a lot more inventive and new products being developed and all I see is a basic repackaging of the same old stuff. On the plane over to Venus I got to meet Tim and Morgan of cybersocket.com who told me many of the after hour functions going on during the show. Really cool people an dvery eager to help a young entrepreneur get out there... I hope to remain friends with these two.    Some local scenary and my friend Meir of lovingcouples.com (AKA Alexander Institute) whom I got to spend some with at the show. He was so bashful when I grabbed him to take this picture... but has since asked me for this picture... The show also is sponsored by many names in the industry that are larger in Europe than the companies over here. That was pretty cool to see different names of corporate sponsorship.Many parties were rocking. Thursday night was a reception for the sponsors, crew and performers. It was at Babylon ( babylonbarberlin.de). There were many other parties such as the Orion.de party and the Hustlaball.com Berlin 2005 which was kitkatclub.de taking place at legendary in Berlin. This was one of the main events. I did get to meet a ton of European distributors which was the point of me going there. I did get meet with Mario and Federico of brunogmuender.com. Mario likes to talk, wow, but a great guy. Bruno was not around but I did see Mike from GearEssentials.com was tooling around their booth. He was there since they are a distributor of his so I ended hanging with him, he is great fun. We pal around at some of these shows sometimes. He tried to bribe me to sleep with him by giving me a fury ring at IML. He wishes I was that cheap. He thinks I am secretly gay so he calls me a metro-sexual, a queer tease. He saw me in action at IML so maybe he is right! Not!I met with Orion.de, Pjur.com, ABSHoldings.com, Mantricmarketing.com, Apollo, Scala-nl.com, st-rubber.de, TSX, and a host of twenty or so other distributors and wholesalers. I met with many reps from Italy, Spain, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, United Kingdom, France, Croatia, Netherlands and Russia. Very successful. I felt a need to travel around Berlin a bit to get a 'feel' of the city before I left. So I took the moring to go on a tour of the city. When I took this, I was literally on the East and West side of Berlin. This is what is left of the Berlin Wall. Here is Check Point Charlie. The harmonious Gendarmenmarkt is known as one of the most beautiful squares in Europe. It was created at the end of the 17th century as a market place. The Konzerthaus or Concert Hall is the most recent building on the Gendarmenmarkt. It was built in 1821 as the Schauspielhaus by Berlin's famous architect Karl-Friedrich Schinkel, who around the same time also designed the reconstruction of the Berliner Dom. The Konzerthaus was built on the ruins of the National Theater, which was destroyed by fire in 1817. I was astounded by the history of the architecture. Most of the buildings I passed by were shot up and had holes and mortar blasts form the first two World Wars. It is really captivating to see still. Because of the grey overclouded skies, it seemed incredibly surreal, as if I was in the middle of a black and white war movie, with all the towering buildings I would see in some of the propaganda war films. This is the Reichstag, the seat of the German Parliament and one of Berlins most historical landmarks. So impressive in person. I was about a half mile away when taking this picture. On the border between East and West Berlin at the Pariser Platz, This lady stands in front of the Brandenburger Gate which was the symbol of the city's divide. Since the fall of the wall, it has become the symbol of a reunified Berlin. I left Berlin on Saturday morning and then was about to board the plane in Frankfurt and realized my green card was stolen. So I could not get on the flight and I had to spend the weekend in Frankfurt waiting the US embassy to open on Monday morning. On Monday, after navigating through the maps of the subway to get there, I then made it to the embassy at 8am and found out that the embassy had moved the entire location to a new one across town. This had happened just the week prior and it had not been updated in the phone registry yet. So I then made it to the new location by 9:30 am and then stood in line outside in the rain for an hour before getting in and then waiting another three hours before getting the two pieces of paper which allowed me back into the country. I flew through the city in the subway, which I now know pretty well, and then barely made it to the plane @ 2pm. I slept and then had to deal with another 2 hour ordeal after landing and getting through customs and immigration on this end. So yeah I missed tmy own birthday party which was at my house. It was a combined party for my brother Jason, my girlfriend Tori, and my friends' Steve, Reg, Bret, and my Nephew Mason. We also made it a Halloween costume party… the party was a hit, so I keep hearing.  Try navigating this mess in German... It was fun though and now I know how to get around Frankfurt... fast! What a trip and now the green card should be on its way to me. I had a non-expiration green card. Unbeknownst to me they passed a law recently that they all have to have some expiration, so mine had been expired with out me knowing. So in getting a new card I killed two birds with one stone...I applied for a new one upon entering the country after a long hectic process to get back in, but it should be sent to me and then I just have to get fingerprinted and photographed at some location downtown in the near future...I don’t want to go through that process again...

 While growing the business into a global and profitable entity, the ideal operation is to lessen cost for the business while keeping costs down for the consumers while delivering an efficient and high quality end product. The consumer always wants to have as much as possible for the dollar and pay as little as possible so they can buy more of the other products they want or need. The Business wants to increase prices to afford greater growth potential for the business and develop new an exciting other products that will broaden the worth of the company or brand. Due to the Wal-Mart’s, Costco's and Targets, the consumer is used to business catering to the masses on the level of mass consumption and mass distribution. From a small business standpoint, the only way to compete is to take manufacturing overseas and still then, the numbers in manufacturing a product will in no way compete with the vast distribution channels Costco's, Wal-Mart’s, and the Target's have in place and can manufacture in the millions driving down the price and shipping costs.
There is so much to learn in working with the manufactures' overseas. Overseeing the entire process from concept to production; timelines, sampling, quality control, tracking, export customs, shipping, import customs, brokers, warehousing, divining, and fulfillment.  
So much hustle and bustle of the city leads to the ever hanging smog, ships constantly come and go like no other port. MIx that in with the drowning humidity, even in winter, and you have a city constanly moving and shaking.
Unfortunately there are many factors that are part of the balancing equation to an efficient operation overseas. Can you compete in business while manufacturing in a domestic capacity. If so you will gain speed and possibly greater control over your product. If you go over seas then you will be subject to longer time periods to manufacture and lack of control to update your product to increase customer operability. If you choose to implement new designs or change some aspect of your product then you must allow certain time issues and or travel time to implement or shipping time and customs for sampling. This all takes valuable time and if you have distributors or deadlines based on holidays this can be a detriment to your business. Cost is an obvious reason for producing overseas. When I mean overseas I mean any place outside of your domestic region or country to manufacture. Cost of labor and sometimes materials are often untouched and definitely will not be matched compared to the soaring inflation and employee rates in the States. Quality is also another reason to go or stay State side. Sometimes other countries outside of the US get a bad rap for quality, but they can and will surpass quality if you are specific about the needs you have and the reasons for the issues regarding the material choices. If you have a reputable company you will find they will even help design a better mousetrap with you if you are open to implementing them into the development. In the coming entries I will be focusing some of these topics based on the latest trip I made to the southern region of China. If you have a rep in China who will organize your travel once you have landed in Hong Kong then you will find the communication issues will be a lot easier regarding visa, customs, immigration and entry in China. You will also find that many of the manufacturing plants will have accounts at local 5-star hotels in the area of the plant. You will also find many of these companies will also handle all travel once inside of China. They often have several employees chosen as drivers to escort you so you do not land yourself in trouble while getting around the regional plants. If you have not a rep or have no contacts for sourcing you can try www.alibaba.com for lists on manufacturing plants or you can start to ask around to like minded inventors or business people who might already be using sources in the production vein that you might be thinking. This might work for or against you. Obviously you do not want your competitor to have access to your ideas and designs, but you could possibly benefit from saving yourself tooling costs which can be very expensive.   If you fly into Hong Kong and then drive one hour north into the Guong Dong region of Southern China you will realize immediately why China will be such a powerhouse of a country in the following years. You can also go north by taking the ferry out of Hong Kong and entering Shenzhen which seems to be the most civilized want to get through customs and immigration. Most of this region was mud roads here ten years ago. Now it is a thriving metropolis and a region boasting over twenty million workers. Now I say workers because most of these people are here only to work. Most have traveled in from other parts of China to work in this region where the money is. Although the rapid expansion has been growing this region, people still live where they grew up or where they’re families are. This is changing because with jobs and the economy growing, people are starting to move families here and planting roots. In one of the three epicenter cities of Guong Dong region, DongGuong City boasts too many manufacturing plants to count. There are over two thousand manufacturing facilities just for SHOE production. This area is also a hotbed of furniture manufacturing but you can find specialty plants for anything or everything. Some plants deal with only certain items, some handle all; metal, wood, plastic, ceramic, electronic, rubber, silicone, etc... It seems everywhere I turn to look a new hospital, school, road or manufacturing plant is being built on every corner. It is fascinating and amazing to see such rapid growth unlike any anywhere in the world. Up next; Hotel and other suggestions, and inside China... |

I know I have been incredibly slack in the Xploits as of late. I have been traveling a lot, I got engaged to my beautiful Tori. I have been preparing to sell my house while looking for a new one, and also developing the new website which will have enhanced user features. Soon to be live in the near future... Anyway, Men's Magazine chose to do an amazing spread highlighting The Bonk'er Classic, The Bonk'er Extreme, and The Bonk'im. The double page 'DeBriefing' warrants some kudos for the layout and the honorable mention. Check it out for the September '06 issue due on newstands now.

What a wild couple of weeks it was. I am in discussion with the Japanese distribution company whom, at my first trip to Japan, I had made good contact with. Read the Japanese Love Hotels article to find out a deal I had been working on with a Japanese company to distribute The Bonk’er to Japan and eventually Korea. The coordination of the second trip was proving quite an ordeal. The Japanese were paying for the trip. I had been coordinating the models, so I was trying to be diplomatic and keep the Japanese in the loop of the decision as to which model and look they were going after. So I kept sending them email pictures of different blonde American-girl-next door type. Tons of girls applied or at least were interested to the online ad I placed on Craig’s List. That was fun, over 40 girls responded in less than three hours of posting. The time delay of emails to and from Japan and the scheduling of the girls’ flights was a nightmare and extremely slow. Finding blonde girls who are models was easy. Under normal circumstances, these are not normal situations I create, so when they see my web site, some quickly dismiss the product as pornography, or as something distasteful. I found it interesting to be able to offer an opportunity to go to the Far East, expenses paid, with top dollar pay, but yet these young girls would say no so easily and dismissively, it really showed their age and level of experience. I found the older models in the 25 plus ages were the ones more open and excited about the opportunity. The younger ones were a little flippant and know-it-all, like these experiences happen all the time, what do I know, maybe they do. I found a few choice models that I felt would represent the company well and got the Japanese responses, that took days of emails and waiting. During this time I had to coordinate the airfares so that the prices were not so exorbitant. I also had to organize the travel for Tori and myself going to Hong Kong and Mainland China for a meeting I had set up and the flights back to Tokyo and Los Angeles. Once the other model had been decided upon, I would then coordinate her travel to Tokyo then back to Los Angeles, depending on her schedule since she had to work back in LA. Once that was all set and ready to go, Japan called the day before we were to leave and said the trade show was off. What!!! I guess the booth they had been building was already being built and setup, but the President of the company had some reservations about something that was happening over there. The person in charge of the trade show coordination on the Japanese side emailed me to cancel the flights and so I did, only to get an email a day and a half later to re-book the flights and come on out a day later than previously scheduled due to the time change and delay in everything. Crazy. I frantically re-booked everything after confirming with the models again that they want to go. And we all left in a frenzy of cell phone calls, cab rides, and a cyclone of confusion. This guy was in for a shock when he opened my bag of 'tricks'- floggers, chain, handcuffs, paddles, whips, the usual kit I bring to any meeting.
The flight over was exciting because I had Tori with me and we had been upgraded to business class the flight over. The stewardess kept kidding around with us since we were all over each other in my seat as everyone on the flight slept. We were having fun and were excited so we went to the bathroom to join the mile high club. That was when all of a sudden the flight attendant started knocking on the door incessantly. I guess since we were in the bathroom that the flight crew and captain used and she found it appalling that anyone dared get into mischief on her shift. Tori left to go outside and had an earful from the stewardess. I walked out to take Tori back to the seat as the stewardess was still fuming. We can laugh about that one for a long time. We arrive in Tokyo twelve hours later and collect our bags. Now the other model, Danielle, had to be on a different flight that left approximately at the same time from a different airline. This was due to the tickets I bought for Tori and me to go to Hong Kong after this trip. She was arriving at the same time in Tokyo, approximately, so I told her to not leave the airport and we would find her there. Eventually her flight landed and we met up in the Tokyo airport terminal one. We waited for Takao to meet us. Here we are at the mercy of the person who speaks English but only enough to communicate on a base level. Takao is really great, but when we speak we do a lot of nodding and laughing because we are both trying to figure the language out. Anyway, we wait, and wait, and then I call the office to find out if Takao is coming. No one in the office speaks English so I said a few words to let them know I had arrived, “NO Takao”, and to help us since we are stranded in a country none of us knew how to communicate in. I did end up using my pigeon Japanese and get the cell number of Takao from the home office. I still don’t really know how that happened. I then tried calling Takao and reached him about four times. Every time he kept asking me where I was, and every time I repeated I was in the same place he picked me up the first time I came to Japan. I couldn’t understand why he wasn’t there. He is responsible and did a good job, but we were waiting now about an hour and we have been traveling about 18 hours and we were exhausted. The girls were pretty good and patient. Finally Takao realized he was in terminal two and we were in terminal one so when he showed up and was all smiles. He liked the girls I brought. That’s a good sign. I guess the Japanese like the blonde all-American types from Takao’s reception. ..................The road less traveled......................................Takao and Tori.......................................Sushi feasting.................
We got in the car and headed to the Hotel. It took another hour or so to get there and when we arrived at the hotel, we see Yuka and Harumi, our interpreter and our business contact. We hug and greet and then they check us in and we make plans to meet in twenty minutes for dinner. We got to the top floor of the hotel for a spectacular view of Tokyo as we dine on Sushi and Sake. What a meal. Tori was not initially a fan of Sushi, but she has been open to new foods since she has been with me, and my favorite food is Japanese, she has been quickly acquiring the Sushi taste. So here she got to enjoy some of the delicacies the country offered. Danielle also enjoyed the food and was eager to try everything. We had some talks as to what happened with the confusion prior to the trip but in the confusing communication, much was not gained from the conversation. I still do not really know what happened. We all were exhausted from the trip but we had a delicious meal, got re-acquainted, and then went to our rooms to sleep. The company was really excited having us there, and gave us a run down on the first day of the show. We unfortunately missed the first day of the show, due to the scheduling and quick change of last minute plans. The second day of the trade show was the next day and that is why we were here, to make a splash in the circles of the Japanese Love Hotels. .........................................Coming in at Night..........................................


I awake at four in the morning every day I am in Japan. Just can’t seem to sleep past that time. So I get up and I go for a run in the morning to check out the surroundings. I run around the convention center and it rains the entire time. It was beautiful. The convention center is on the bay so there were ships coming and going. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I ended up taking pictures on this run. Here are some of the images. ....................I love the design of even the toilets and the trash cans here! ........................................Yes, that is a saw!................
Now on the surface, Japan is a somewhat conservative nation. Their kink is discreet and behind closed doors, but it is there, in full force. This is the reason for the Leisure Hotel Trade Fair. They sell products to the Love Hotels that operate on the idea that everyone needs their kink and not everyone can have it in their home. These foot massagers need to be in American manicure/pedicure places, I would jump aboard.
Takao arrives at my door in the morning to take me over to the “Big Sight”, the name of the convention center in Tokyo. We walk in and I see the show for the first time. WOW. It is definitely a sight, Japanese models everywhere handing out trinkets and brochures. The products are vast and we move through the traffic and head towards the booth. These were really cool light panels. I don't know why I was so drawn to the light.
The trade show is home to any and everything involved with the Love Hotels industry. Sheets, hot tubs, bathroom fixtures, electronic portals for entry into the hotels, TV’s, gaming stations, exotic showers, steam-rooms, jacuzzis, perfumes, toiletries, lube, and numerous other electronic gadgets as only the Japanese could think of. I was fascinated by the culture here in the trade show. Vastly more composed and way more business-like than the U.S. versions I had been to recently. So civilized. 
These Tubs are awesome. I loved the ones with a TV built in!
This will be perfect for us to make a splash. We have the best booth in the best location. They put my product booth area on the end of their booth. It overlooked the resting area where there are tables for people to eat and do business. Perfect for us to keep their attention and create a stir... 
I start setting up the booth for the girls and meeting all the Japanese models and workers. I greet them by adhering Bonkum temporary tattoo logos on the employees. They loved it. I met many other models from other booths too, so I tattooed them as well! All the models loved it, and giggled when the Tuxedo wearing white guy was sitting there tattooing them. I then tattooed anyone I could grab walking by. Everyone lwas laughing and smiling, or maybe just laughing at the Gaijin. Takao had gone back to get the girls from the hotel. When they arrived I had tattooed so many, that now many models and other sales reps were coming over to get tattooed. I had to help them out, but the time for demonstration had arrived.
Danielle is new to this and needed to see some positions, so Tori and I showed her. Danielle was enthusiastic and jumped right in with Tori. Yuka was at first hesitant but then started talking to clients and got really into it. I had been given a microphone to talk to the crowd but that didn’t work too well. I started talking and between the feedback and the physicality of my positioning activity, the microphone just kept falling into my lap. It was easier for me to just get into positions with the girls and literally show the products for the business people interested. We had the attention of everyperson walking by. It was crazy for Japanese standards. I heard many Japanese laughing and many were snapping pictures. I have seen some of these pictures on websites in Canada and Japan. It is wierd how viral it gets so quickly. 
There was a lot of interest, the girls were magnificent and drew a constant rush of traffic. There were lots of cameras, lots of looks, staring, and smiles. The girls were having fun and the crowds were constant and definitely excited. You could really get a feel for the crowd when they were interested. The business people loved the concept and orders were rolling in. 
I could not speak their language so when people tried to talk to me, I immediately would grab a representative from the company. It was fun and I would make a lot of faces and have fun with everyone I met and tried to speak with. It was a real trip watching the Japanese business people. You could tell some ones importance quickly by how many satellite representatives they would have around them. It was a trip trying to communicate when there were so many, I didn’t know which one to look at. Yuka was trying to translate and was also answering questions about the product since she had seen it now quite a bit. By the end of the day I had gotten Yuka into the bed and had Tori and Danielle getting into positions with her. If only her boyfriend could see her now! 
Click this link to see us walk out! By the end of the day we were quite tired from the experience. We all went back to our rooms to relax before dinner. We met up for dinner again at the restaurant upstairs and exchanged the usual courtesies. After another delicious meal we discussed business and talked about future plans. We went to bed full and exhausted.
These are from behind the Fuji Televison Complex.
The next day we met everyone in the lobby and said our farewells. Danielle, Yuka, Tori, Takao and myself left the hotel, and said goodbye everyone from the company. They gave us Takao to escort us around on our only day to see the city. We went to the “Television Studio”. It is a tourist place of a studio for many of the Japanese television shows. It was fun in a strange Japanese way. I don’t get the television style there, but am totally enthralled and entertained by it. I could stare at the commercials for hours. The Japanese have a sensibility and humor that is so foreign to the cultures I have been used to. I don’t get it at all but am infatuated with their pop culture. We see the building, which, architecturally is amazing. We walk through a couple malls but the shops are the same as the ones we would see in America. Gap, Abercrombie, Nike, Pottery Barn, Etc… Same clothes too. The shoes were different, but most everything else was scarily similar. Danielle had to leave to get on her plane, so we departed from each other. She had to go back to LA for a job, and Takao was going to leave our bags at the hotel near the airport where we were to stay the night. Yuka and Takao took her to the airport, and Tori and myself, went to the Ginza District, a different part of Tokyo. My brother had been to Japan before and had said to go here, so off we went. I had heard the neon lights at night were really amazing so that was the goal. One problem, we just had to figure out how to get there without a translator and without someone who knows the transport system. We made it, but it was not easy. We got through the train system and felt like we had accomplished the world. Out of the station we embarked to walk around the city. Of course we had to eat, so more sushi… We walked all day and had fun and became very tired. We ended up going back to the hotel as it was getting dark. It was a strenuous ordeal since we were dealing with going about an hour by car, and a long time longer by train. We made it and fell into bed exhausted. The next day we organized for the trip out to Hong Kong and mainland China, more on that in another blog. I really love Japan and with no real plans in the future for a repeat visit, it is sad to leave. The Bonkmaster is a filmmaker, inventor, and designer for the company Bonk Designs @ www.Bonkum.com.

Love Parade, S.F. 2004 |
|
Berlin, Germany was the original site setting for the massive and famous Love Parade. It's history dates back to the tear down of the Berlin Wall in 1989, when the founder and main visionary DJ Dr. Motte, along with several other techno groovers, came up with the concept of the Love Parade. He devised a celebration to promote tolerance, respect and understanding between nations. To promote it in a new way without politicizing the event with speeches, they wanted to do it with music. As DJ Dr. Motte said "music.. speaks in thousands of languages and is understood by all". Love Parade, Germany
The LOVE PARADE has grown from 150 participants and one truck on Berlin's Kurfürstendamm in 1989 to over a million ravers and 50 trucks. In 1996 it had to be moved to Berlin's Tiergarten due to its size. There, it became the biggest European event of its kind. See Love Parade, video, very cool.
Since 2000 the the LOVE PARADE now demonstrates in other countries like Austria, England, Mexico, USA, Israel and South Africa. Love Parade, International
October 2nd 2004 San Francisco becomes the host city of the setting for Berlin's famous Love Parade, San Francisco. The innaugural kick off was a rousing success as some estimates say over 50,000-150,000 participants rouse and revel in music and dance in the streets of the most vibrant and enlightened city in the United States.
The parade was set to begin at the corner of Market and Beale streets with the first float leaving at 2 o’clock towards the scenic waterfront Embarcadero where it would drift towards the home of the San Francisco Giants baseball team and finally settle for a day long celebration near one of the SBC Park’s parking lots. The beats of drums and electronica filled the streets and the air was crispy-chill in the shadows of the city buildings. People wearing all fashions of vibrant colored fur, plastic, wigs, hats, and costumes of grandiose proportions were fantastic in thier execution and celebration.
As the minutes passed the crowds swelled and grew to enormous proportions all slowly moving toward the final destination where the music and DJ laden floats would park for the party into the night. Music heard was drum and bass, deep house, and heavy progressive, loud and sexy. Everyone was dancing and grooving.
Once the flesta landed at the party destination, the crowds continued to swarm, grow, and grow, and grow. These pictures I am showing represent the size of the venue and the enormous amount of people there. In any one picture, only a small fraction of the vast collective can be seen. The crowds were the same in every direction and continue to go around every corner. To see even more... look below.

This is what I saw first walking in with my friends Ludi, Andy and John. Wow. We lost each other immediately.
I love the saturation of color, bare with me... the subject matter allows for...
There were so many Dj's. Richard Humpty Vission, DMX, Doc Martin, Dr. Motte, Geometrist, Goldilox, Ken Christensen, Clandestine, House of Lotus, Lush, and Spundae and Opel, just to name a fewof the huge lineup... Check out more... Love Parade, Lineup.
These guys were going off. Great energy too!
Is that a snake in your pocket...
I turn another corner and see another swarm of humans... they keep appearing.
I saw this tattoo and I had to take a picture. It was on the back of a beautiful woman...
If you notice the backdrops and backgrounds are all different but the mass hoard of people stay the same in quantity!
Ludi, my friend and roommate, met Paulynn and Eric at Earthdance and had been telling me about them. We all met up and danced the day away.
These are some friends that I met there. Pauylynn and Eric B. We have since become very close and even had there wedding at my house. Family.
Yeah, ummm, I don't know either, but they were good fun and really cool people.
I was spreading the love by passing out www.Bonkum.com brochures, when a group of girls came up to laugh and dance with me. Ok, yes that is me in the subtle afro wig. It was amazing of the attention I was getting for just wearing a weak ass costume as mediocre as this. These girls came over and needed to dance with me. I swear I did not work it. They came to me and I did not even have one of my normal outlandish costumes on. Subtlety has its perks I guess. They were a lot of fun... we danced.
The Frenchy's: Eric B. and Ludi. My posse dances...
...Ok, and we're back from the dance intermission... back to our regularly scheduled programming... Some characters that amuse me...

...and we dance again...the sun sets and we dance some more...
The light as the setting sun was so beautiful. It made the people glo. Speaking glo, this was a glo stick dancer getting on his groove.
