I am a happy person, loving life, am not a self destructive person, I am just trying, consciously and subconsciously, to purge my homosexuality through bdsm. I am just a quite nice guy who happens to be a homosexual in the sexual and sentimental roles.

Until my goal is accomplished (I’ll know when) I’m seeking someone who controls me, restricts me and forbids my interaction with family, friends, neighbours, etc. keeping me alone, isolated.

Until every trace of my homosexuality is relinquished I will not back talk or question your reasons to cleanse me, I will shut my mouth and swallow any anger and argument that arises when you are torturing me.

I have an appointment to get all of my teeth pulled. I decided to trade my ability to talk and eat so that I can gum loads outta dudes like a machine. Also to give awesome rim jobs. I am getting multiple tongue, mouth, lip, and gum piercings. My mouth will be customized to give head and rim jobs to males. I will mostly be gumming loads of cum on a constant basis. So I will pretty much living on a cum only diet. I will have to ask dudes if i can gum a load outta of them just to eat.

I need to end my porn addiction. It’s the main reason I’m still gay and why I waste the majority of my day watching porn online. I don’t want to do this, I just can’t stop myself, no matter how hard I try, how long I go cold turkey, I always come back. I don’t want to be horny anymore, I just want to be happy.

I am the master of a young man, formerly named Lorenzo, that I have renamed Moby Dick due the immense measurements of his penis and the craters it can create. Thanks to the weakness of his mind and character, I have successfully trained him to be my sexual henchman. I now seek attractive young submissives, male or female, 18 yrs to 24 yrs, willing to subject themselves to his huge sexual drive for anything from quickie encounters to permanent enslavement should I find the sight and sound of him destroying you sufficiently exciting.

Be aware his cock is not for everyone, indeed for very few, but those who have been brave enough and understand the the risk of being dilated for days if not weeks if not ending up in the hospital have found an orgasm like no other on earth. I can show you videos where girls scream their vocal cords into rags and boys are split in half. You never seen such destroyed holes. If you’ve ever wanted to get fucked by an equine with a penis 30cm in length and 26 in width, the size of a Pringles tube, here he is in the form of a young man.

ChefBoyardee – Aug 19, 2022
Today I got to know Moby Dick, and I must say his master is not joking about the measures😅, being XL myself I made a comparison, and it is almost 3 times mine, not to mention bigger than my forearm. I never felt so humiliated and excited at the same time. I tried to get him to take it slow but he hadn’t gotten 1/3 of it in before it hurt so much that I immediately blacked out. Afterwards his master showed me a video he’d made of what happened while I was out, and it was so shocking I can hardly believe I’m still alive.

A little off topic, but I hired this twink for a two hour date at Boys 21 sometime back. As soon as he opened the door of the brothel room we were using, he kisses with an open mouth. Tongue in my mouth, tongue in my throat. When we got to the bed we just fell on the bed and kept kissing. Guzzling each other’s saliva, saliva running down our chins, … We didn’t stop for nearly the whole two hours. I couldn’t afford to extend the date, so I broke the kiss just long enough to ask him if he wanted to cum with me while I jacked off, and he said, I already came twice, lol.

I’m Nick and basically a normal boy with a sexy, toned body that looks and feels so good who loves and cares for his friends and family and does his 40-hour job during the day to learn new things through work and somehow to make ends meet.

Maybe I’m a bit shy, but I certainly wouldn’t call myself inexperienced. I’m just a little too happy to have dirty and ambiguous thoughts, one or another of which I’ve already tried and others I am currently living out, even if I don’t look like it.

I see life as positive and optimistic and people like to call me a grinning cheek or a sunshine – even if I don’t always feel like that myself, I seem to have a talent for spreading a good mood.

The process of aging will not pass me by in the long run either, I am very clearly aware of that. It turns me on extremely when people get horny on me and their erotic sexual fantasies take their course through my person, so why not use the time that the present moment has to offer while making men drool is still possible?

Have his eyes pulled out partially, and forced into his nostrils, so that he sees the world through his nose. His tongue should be cut in half lengthwise, pulled a up with force and spread, so that he licks his own eyes inside of his nose. His lips should be cut off and attached under his nose like a moustache. Also, cut off his hands and have them attached on his ears, index finger first, as deep as possible. Also, cut off his nipples and glue them on his head left and right, like very very very small “antennas” on his head. Yeah, that’s all I can think off for now. Oh wait no: Have his legs twisted around 180 degrees and glue the bleeding stumps of his arms together. So, now there is nothing more coming to my mind.

I do a thing with cling film wrap that some guys like. It’s not for everyone but some like it.

I wrap it around myself and under so it pulls my cock right back to my ass between my legs and continue wrapping like that as tight as possible. That then forces my legs to rub my cock with every step I take keeping me horny. And when the long build up finally makes me orgasm it’s mind shattering, like it makes my body keel over and my eyes go funny and my legs shake and buckle then spasm like an epileptic’s.

Last but not least I am an amazing supportive person and great psychologist, so if you’ve got any issues we can discuss them ❀.

Hi, I am a young twink and student with little ambition in life and no talents that could lead to more than a minimum wage level income who is looking for a sugar daddy or a patron in order to have a good time in every possible direction.

—> The term “sugar daddy” is a slang anglicism used to designate a relationship in which a person with a comfortable lifestyle offers the possibility to a person younger than him to share his lifestyle. in particular through gifts or money in return for exclusive access to the surface and subterranean portions of younger person’s body.

His name is Lucas or Lainey
 something like that, I can’t remember. I just call him ‘Lucky.’ I stalked him for awhile. I wasn’t sure exactly why. He was just some deadbeat punky poser. A slutty femboy fresh out of high school, with no future prospects – even before I decided I wanted to butcher him, he was going nowhere. From what I could tell he wasted most of his days away doing nothing. Playing video games, smoking, listening to shitty metal music, jerking off to nasty porn. But fuck he looked hot doing it.

Messy smelly hair he must have washed once a month if that, light cutting scars all over his pale arms, empty pothead eyes you could see yourself in when he stared at me. Scrawny legs he loved to show off in ripped black tights and gothy boots. Dressed like a slut that shopped at hot topic. Sucked random guys off at the local punk bar.

I really thought he was going to be the perfect victim. No one was going to miss him, they’d probably just think he finally offed himself. But once I finally got my hands on Lucky, things changed. When I told him his fate, he wasn’t terrified. He was turned on. He begged to take my cock as I made good on my threats to destroy him.

I told him what I planned to do to him. I told him there were a plethora of choices – suffocation, dismemberment, a full vivisection, maybe just beat him to death and dissolve what’s left in an oil drum full of acid. No matter what sick fucked up promise I made, he was precumming with excitement.

So I decided to keep him a bit longer. Treat him like a fuckable pet. Tell him every night it was his last. That he was going to be another blood splatter on my floor tomorrow. But every day when I wake up to this hot suicidal femboy sucking my morning wood, it’s like he’s sucking the blood thirst right out of me
 how did I ever get so lucky?

If you force yourself on him it is rape no matter how loose his hole. Even if he is spun out of his mind in a sling and he says I’m not sure and you enter him anyway it is rape. The only situation I can think of where it is impossible to qualify as rape is if he was dead.

Strange question but is it rape if the guy’s hole is super loose and he can barely feel it? Idk sorry if offend anyone.

GayCuckCoupleUK (Owner) – Aug 17, 2022
Just so you know he leaks loads of precum. His first bf when he was 14 used to tie a bag over his cock & when he had enough he used to crush 6 sleeping pills and mix them in the cum. He’d make my BF drink it all then he would rape him when he was passed out bc my BF was scared of anal sex back then.

Honest answer? It is looking like I may have the family curse… prostate cancer at a very young age. It runs in my family and I have two older brothers, one dead from it and one still dealing with it. I have just begun getting tests done, but there is significant enlargement.

If tests confirm cancer, removal of the prostate is a given. Shooting a load of cum will become just a memory. From the amount of enlargement, I highly suspect that my cock nerves are probably affected and would have to be removed as well. Goodbye erections or any feeling of pleasure in my cock. These scenarios appear inevitable. If test results show it may have already spread in my case, rather than deal with the side effects and risks of drugs, why not just talk to my doc about removing my balls too. Let’s face it, if I won’t be shooting anymore what’s the difference.

My thought is, if my days of cumming, getting hard, or even having feeling in my cock are over, and it’s only use is to piss, then it is obsolete. If cancer has spread and balls removal is a viable option to increase my short term survival, then why not talk to the doc about removing the sac and cock and giving me a urethral reroute.

So a question: would going nullo make you guys want to load me up with disease more because what’s the big loss or would you be too turned off to even bother? Or would I be more breedable with an empty nut sac and useless cock? Your honest thoughts are appreciated.

p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. Like I said, I don’t see any value in having his seemingly ugly shit poisoning my head. ** Russ Healy, Hi. Yes, he certainly seems to be. Right, Johnson’s so great. He did so much, and some of it is so small that maybe his works are even affordable to the likes of us. Tempting. That’s such amazing and incredibly admirable work you’re doing. So much respect. Obviously, I encourage you to seek out publishing the letters if that’s possible and seems like the right thing to do. I would be completely fascinated to read them, for one. I’m imagining that the public acknowledgement and growing support for transgender identity must have changed your practice in some way? I wonder if it’s made things easier or more complicated or both or neither? Thanks so much. I hope your day ahead rules. ** Sypha, Paul’s a sweetie. They should definitely meet. I’ve been in that situation with collaborators too for sure. I’m like you: relatively swift, and dawdling collaborators can definitely work my nerves. I have to say your thing with Justin sounds kind of beyond the pale of tolerable, ha ha. That Kickstarter sounds cool. I’ll share it. Everyone, Here’s an interesting project that Sypha would like to alert all of us to. Read up and get involved if it’s uproar alley and doable. Sypha: ‘I know there are some gamers on here, so I figured I’d give a shout-out to this Kickstarter. It’s a sequel to the 90’s inspired point and click computer game PERFECT TIDES which came out earlier this year. I played the original game a few months ago and loved it so much I now rank it among my Top Ten favorite games ever! It was created by a woman named Meredith Gran, who previously was best known for her decade-long web comic OCTOPUS PIE (which I’ve recently begun reading). A very talented writer, artist, and now, game designer. Anyway it’s got a week to go and they’ve almost hit the 75% mark of their funding, so I really hope they make their goal as I want to see this game come to life!’ Thank, James. ** _Black_Acrylic, Yeah, she’s great. Happy to facilitate your and her acquaintanceship. ** Bill, Hi. I hadn’t heard much about her in quite a while, but there’s a kind of rediscovery going on now thanks to The Box. Her performances were really wild and always a mindblow. ** Brendan, Hi, B! I wondered if you’d seen her work. Oh, shit, I haven’t checked WhatsApp. You’re literally the only person I know who sends stuff on there, and I tend to forget it’s on my phone. I’ll go find the pix post-haste. Great, excited to see them, and sorry for the delayed pick up. I just read that you guys in LA are entering a boiling hell for the next several days. Duck and cover, dude. Love, me. ** Dominik, Hi!!! Nope, me too. You’d think there’d be some kind of tech by now that could translate animals’ thoughts. Right now when I try to imagine what birds are thinking, I always just imagine single words. You know, ‘Eat’, ‘Fly? Yes’, ‘Fuck her’, ‘Let him fuck me? Ok’, etc. Probably not fair at all to them. I think you’d have dug JW, yeah. Ha ha, nice love there. I getcha. I’d also have your love make sure every public bathroom has a paper towel dispenser because I refuse to dry my hands in those blowers. I don’t trust them. If that’s the only option, I just shake my hands vigorously. Love turning every prison into a prism and vice versa, G. ** Gus CaliGirls, Hey, Gus! The premise of ‘La JaurĂ­a’ sounds strangely exciting. I’ll see if I can find it somewhere. I’ll definitely see ‘Earwig’, but I’ll steel my nerves. Oh, yeah, ‘Spirit of the Beehive’ and ‘Vive L’Amour’ are both wonderful films. Nice! And I’m not at all surprised to hear that about ‘Petra Von Kant’. It’s getting so it’s hard to even remember when Ozon was kind of an interesting filmmaker. My avoidance of that will be plague-like. Happy you liked Josiah’s book. I’ve been good. I’m thrilled that the summer is finally dying out here. I’m basically just doing early work on Zac’s and my new film that we’re going to shoot just after Xmas. That’s pretty consuming. Plus seeing some art and films and this and that. What’s the latest with you? Have you been able to work on your work? ** Right. The month is over, folks, and you know what means, blog-wise. See you tomorrow.

Johanna Went Day

 

‘Halfway through a video of Johanna Went’s 1988 performance Passion Container, a masked, horned, enrobed figure holds up a red container that resembles an oversized organ. Blood pours from it, reddening the figure, now dancing to a No Wave beat. As the dance escalates into an ecstatic bounce, blood drenches the robe.

‘The trancelike dance and allusions to sacrifice recall the quasi-ritualistic performances that characterized Viennese Actionism in the 1960s, but the overall aesthetic is comically macabre. Still, Went’s over-the-top scene is riveting. Few artists would combine the symbols of ritual with noise- and dance music, fake blood, and homemade costumes, and perhaps only Johanna Went would animate it all with humor.

Passion Container is one of around 200 shows Went performed from 1977 through the ’80s in Los Angeles. Performances at venues such as Franklin Furnace (1987) and the Lincoln Center (1991) in New York and Track 16 Gallery (2007) in LA show Went’s more formal side, but it’s the club shows — in which she quick-changes costumes, gyrates, grunts and howls, and smears and swallows viscous ooze — that established her as a cult figure in the annals of LA art and punk, and gave her the nickname “hyena of performance art.”

‘Went began performing in 1975 with improvisational theater troupes Para-Troupe and the World’s Greatest Theater Company. Following a move to Los Angeles in 1977, she started performing solo, adding live music after meeting sound artist and percussionist Z’EV and composer Mark Wheaton, who would become her collaborator for the next four decades.

‘It’s no surprise that Went’s boundary-pushing performances drew eyes from the experimental LA club scene. Consider another moment in Passion Container, in which she wears a bulbous mask with an anus-like mouth, and a nun character shovels gruel into a larger anus-mouth. Signifiers are shifting — mouth, anus, eye, sun. Later, her face emerges from the massive vagina of a larger-than-life puppet as two sewage-green demons fling a huge, pillowy three-eyed head into the audience. The show associates the feminine and maternal with the earth, both threatened by monstrous masculinity (reified in a giant phallus). But Went’s frenzied performance is too fast and chaotic to be contemplated; it’s experienced.

‘In an article on Went for 4Columns, author Geeta Dayal writes: “When Lady Gaga debuted her meat dress in 2010, I had a flashback: it sounded like something Went would have done in 1982. In a just world, Johanna Went would be as much of a household name as Lady Gaga.”

‘Went continued to perform into the 1990s and, less frequently, the 2000s. (She stopped performing after Ablutions Of A Nefarious Nature at Track 16 in 2007 due to an ankle injury and arthritis.) She has received some of her due in 2020, with a limited-edition reissue of her 1982 debut record Hyena (on red vinyl) and recent retrospective, Passion Container, at the Box in Los Angeles. The exhibition (which closed March 28), displayed photos, ephemera, art, and costumes drawn from Went’s personal archive, alongside screenings of her performances (available to view online).

‘The costumes, which Went constructed mostly from discards found on streets and in dumpsters, combine craft with invention. Symbols of traditional women’s roles — baby dolls, high-heeled shoes, a nun’s habit — are integrated into colorful agglomerations of unruly femininity. In one eye-catching example, figures and symbols are painted on a metallic pink robe with a grotesque pink mask. Jarring juxtapositions of stuffed animals and dolls, skulls, and dildos exaggerate the creepy side of the visual extravaganza. Along with demented Muppet-like soft sculptures (including the aforementioned three-eyed head and a giant vagina spewing red fabric), they underscore Went’s ingenuity as a maker as well as a performer.

‘More recently, Went (who still lives in Los Angeles) has been working on drawings for new costumes and writing and performing spoken word pieces, while organizing, editing, and preserving her audio, video, and photographic archives with Wheaton.

‘Her exhibition at the Box has made her “seriously consider the possibility of working with younger able bodied dancers and performers,” she said by email. “Those options have occurred to me before, but the public’s response to the Box exhibit was far greater than I had expected and reacquainted me with my audience.”

‘While Went’s transgression of categories is part of her work’s fascination, it has presented challenges to audiences. For instance, an Artforum reviewer in 1983 criticized her work as a “parody of transgression.” Implicit in this criticism, and its implication that parody and transgression are mutually exclusive, is the discomfort that unclassifiable things cause us as a culture. Went transgressed not only genre but also bodily and symbolic boundaries. Her performances have addressed feminine tropes, such as the mother and virgin, and faux-sacrificial blood is conflated with menstrual blood; in Passion Container and other performances she volleyed giant, soiled tampons back and forth with the crowd. These gestures recall Julia Kristeva’s designation, in Powers of Horror, of polluting objects as either excremental or menstrual, the former threatening the ego from without, the latter from within, both ultimately endangering what anthropologist Mary Douglas calls our “cherished classifications.”

‘Went’s outrĂ© spectacles — intermingling horror and hilarity — incorporated both. Messy, anarchic, sexualized, they engaged fluidity and flux, refusing to be reduced to a single thing.’ — Natalie Haddad

Interview: Women in Punk: Alice Bag and Johanna Went

Visuals

‘The radical performance artist Johanna Went is one of the true legends of the California underground, and one who deserves much wider renown. I first came across her name about two decades ago, while interviewing some punk and post-punk bands from the 1980s. Musicians would talk in awed tones about Went’s infamous shows at venues like San Francisco’s now-defunct Mabuhay Gardens and the late Hong Kong CafĂ© in Los Angeles. She was known for transfixing and sometimes gory performances, featuring fantastical costumes made of materials filched from dumpsters and strange, ritualistic improvised music. But detailed information about her work was disappointingly hard to find. When Lady Gaga debuted her meat dress in 2010, I had a flashback: it sounded like something Went would have done in 1982. In a just world, Johanna Went would be as much of a household name as Lady Gaga.

‘One of the best sources of information on Went is RE/Search #6/7: Industrial Culture Handbook, a 1983 bible for the industrial music landscape edited by V. Vale and Andrea Juno. The book includes interviews with well-known bands like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, but also with key figures in the subculture who formed the vital connective tissue of entire scenes. These were people like Mark Pauline, the wily founder of robot wrecking crew Survival Research Laboratories, and musician and provocateur Monte Cazazza, who originally coined the term “industrial music.”

‘The Los Angeles gallery the Box has mounted a necessary and wide-ranging retrospective of Went’s work from the 1970s to the 2000s titled Passion Container, its name derived from a 1988 performance. Numerous soft sculptures and costumes fill the space—colorful, hilarious, and often grotesque characters, arranged dynamically as if they were attending a particularly demented party. As you look at them leering and posing, they seem almost alive. Many of these outfits were originally worn by Went in her early stage performances.

Passion Container is a crucial step in reviving Went’s riveting body of work. Further exhibitions globally would help to reassert her legacy as one of the most distinctive performance artists of our time—not just on the West Coast, but the world at large. But there should be more—perhaps a book, a tour, a major documentary. And this work shouldn’t just live in the visual-art world; it should be part of the history of music. The stories of punk, post-punk, and industrial music would not have been the same without her searing and original presence.’ — Geeta Dayal, 4columns

p.s. Hey. ** David Ehrenstein, Hi. I honestly just have no interest in Jordan Peterson, and happily I live in France where he is nonexistent. ** Dominik, Hi!!! My pleasure. Yeah, we’ve had, I don’t know, eight baby pigeons birthed near our windows now, and you (or I, at least) do get sort of attached to them, or at least invested in caring that their parents show up to feed them and hang out with them so they’re not lonely and coax them into trying to fly when the time comes, and their parents are pretty good at fulfilling those duties, and of course you cant help but wonder if their loyalties and impulses spring from the same place human parents’ do given how tiny and focused and differently configured they brains are relative to ours, etc. So, yeah, basically, ha ha. Paris Disneyland was lots of fun. The new Marvel Campus is solid, not amazing, and the two new rides there are good, not mindboggling. And we rode everything we wanted, and … it killed a day very entertainingly. You should be its director, clearly. Love putting you in a time machine — my love seems to have a big thing for time machines for some reason — so you could go back and see a Johanna Went performance live in her heyday because they were very weird and great, G. ** Bill, Good, good, my goal was met. Yay me. Oh, wow, thank you a lot for that link. I knew nothing about that for some strange reason. Wow, crazy and awesome. I’ll go find every minuscule thing I can about that. I’ve heard of ‘Resurrection’. Okay, I’m on it somehow. (Don’t think it’s been in France, yet anyway). ** Sypha, Much loftier (and better). Snuggly is squeamish about sex scenes? Granted, I’m not that familiar with Snuggly, but I’d vibed that they were adventurous, so wtf! Maybe Paul Curran can send some of his Yakuza friends over to Mr. Isis’s door. ** _Black_Acrylic, Yes, indeed! I wish I had an ‘in’ in that industry for all kinds of reasons. ** Steve Erickson, Try playing Merzbouw full blast? Everyone, Steve Erickson has interviewed Roger Shepherd, head of the great and legendary record label Flying Nun, and that should be very interesting, so read it post-haste, I suggest. Thanks for the fill-in on the novel. That sounds potentially intriguing enough that even the very tired (to me) zombie thing might not be a problem. Thanks! ** Billy, Hi, Billy. Oh, that’s interesting: I’d never heard that term before. Huh. That Kara Walker piece definitely qualifies. I only didn’t include it because I think it was in the first Edible post a couple of years ago unless I’m mistaken. I’m good. Paris seems un-assaulted other than by slightly too high temperatures. Are you doing A-okay too? And, if so, how so, or, if not, why not? ** Right. Unless you resided in the California region back in the 80s and/or 90s, you might not be familiar with the crazed, brilliant, mind-blowing performances of the great Johanna Went. You might know her recordings, as they were known in the general alt-music scene and still are to some degree. Happily, the LA gallery The Box has uploaded video documents of most of Went’s performances recently, which makes a post intro’ing her work possible. And I’m obviously hoping that you’ll read and poke around and discover her stuff because it’s sadly under-known. So that’s your optional blog assignment for today. See you tomorrow.
