Dr. Susan Block's Speakeasy Journals are based on the history, philosophy, therapy, politics, photography and archives of the Dr. Susan Block Show, spanning 30 years of broadcasting and performance art. The theme of this premiere print edition is "Splosh 'n' Art," featuring a Commedia Erotica cast of artists, exhibitionists, vegan chefs, junk food lovers and FemDoms, showcasing the convergence of food and sex through art and kink. "Sploshing" is erotic food play. Sploshers spray, drip, dump, rub, mush or cover each other in foods of different flavors and textures. As you'll see, things get a little messy. But that's the beauty of splosh... and art. This issue explores such delicious subjects as playing with food, the psychology of splosh, faux cannibalism, "sploshgasms" and (of course) sploshing Trump. This first issue is a must for collectors of print media, researchers, human sexuality students, art enthusiasts, adventurous couples, think-outside-the-boxers, political resisters, food fetishists and splosh lovers. It's unique, fun, informative, and a great way to spice up your sex life! All issues of Dr. Block's Speakeasy Journal are dedicated to saving one of humanity's closest living relatives, our kissing cousins, the highly endangered, "make love not war" bonobo apes.

In this unique and paradigm-changing book, internationally acclaimed and controversial sex educator Dr. Susan Block offers a brilliant new view of human sexuality, war, peace and community, inspired by a role model who isn't even human: our closest genetic cousin, the bonobo.With a provocative, humorous and engaging style that makes science fun and ecology erotic, The Bonobo Way boldly asks: What do these great apes know about sex--and the rest of life--that we don't? Here are some things we know about bonobos: They have lots of sex. They never kill each other. They empower the females.They stay younger longer.They live in peace through pleasure.And we thought humans were the smartest apes! For decades, experts have used the "killer ape" paradigm to explain why humans murder, make war, bomb and behead each other, and supposedly always will. Sure, our common chimp cousins kill, but do they tell the whole tale?Luckily, no. The Bonobo Way shows the other side of the story, presenting the bonobos as a new great ape paradigm for humanity that could change the world... or at least improve your love life. "This book is really good... something I rarely say these days! The Bonobo Way is whimsical yet serious, easy to read yet thoroughly researched, challenging yet ultimately deeply comforting. Dr. Susan Block is living proof that bonobos aren't just sexy and fun--some of them are damned smart, too."Christopher Ryan, Ph.D. author of Sex at DawnFrom the lush depths of the rainforest to the satin sheets of your bedroom, Dr. Block takes you on a fascinating journey, weaving stories, studies, theories and fantasies into possibilities and a practical path of action, presenting a very different kind of "12-Step Program" to release your "inner bonobo," help save the real bonobos from extinction and energize all facets of your life. Whether you don't know bonobos from bananas, or you think you know all about these amazing creatures, The Bonobo Way will show you the way to a happier, healthier, sexier life, and a more peaceful, sustainable culture.

While every cultures cuisine tells a story, there are few foods that carry as much history and meaning as do those on the Passover Seder plate. Haroset: A Taste of Jewish History is the first book ever written about this traditional Passover seder food. In a captivating historical journey, food historian Dr Susan Weingarten traces the development of this ancient dish through a tapestry of social, religious and cultural contexts. She shows how perceptions of haroset, as well as its actual ingredients, have developed through the generations, from the first hints of its existence in the Second Temple period, through the blood libels of the Middle Ages and the pogroms in Eastern Europe, to its role in the gender issues and modern food trends of today. By examining a wealth of written sources, oral histories, recipes and customs from around the world, Weingarten reveals a rich narrative through this otherwise unassuming food and provides a unique and fascinating perspective on the diversity of Jewish tradition, experience, and culture.

Based on five years of fieldwork in Boston, CanÕt Catch a Break documents the day-to-day lives of forty women as they struggle to survive sexual abuse, violent communities, ineffective social and therapeutic programs, discriminatory local and federal policies, criminalization, incarceration, and a broad cultural consensus that views suffering as a consequence of personal flaws and bad choices.
