LOS ANGELES—Susan M. Block, Ph.D., a.k.a. “Dr. Suzy,” internationally renowned sexologist, author of the top-selling The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace through Pleasure and award-winning talk show host, perhaps best-known for her specials on HBO, will present a talk titled “The Bonobo Way of Great Sex” at Adultcon LA 2017. Her seminar will take place at 4 p.m. on Saturday, September 23 at the L.A. Convention Center.
“The Bonobo Way of Great Sex presents a new, sex-positive paradigm for humanity,” said Block, “touching on sexuality, pornography, war, peace, the balance of gender power, as well as building loving relationships and inclusive, 'bonoboësque' communities.”
Inspired by the real bonobos, The Bonobo Way of Great Sex will deliver the science (not 'alternative facts') about our “Make Love Not War” great ape “kissing cousins,” who swing through the trees—and with each other—as well as invaluable tips to enhance your sex and love life, with humor, passion, compassion and life-changing wisdom.
The old “killer ape” paradigm, based on common chimpanzees and baboons, has long been used to explain—and excuse—human violence, sexual repression, hyper-masculinity, misogyny, the rise of Donald Trump and America’s state of perpetual war. However, bonobo apes, who are at least as close to humans as common chimps, never kill each other. Instead, they utilize good, consensual sex (and lots of it), empathy, female empowerment and the sharing of resources to defuse violent tensions before they explode into murder and war, thereby cultivating an ecosystem of “peace through pleasure.”
Block has presented Bonobo Way talks at various symposia, conventions and university settings, locally and abroad. Dr. Block has been a visiting lecturer in Human Sexuality departments at USC, UCLA & Caltech, as well as at her alma mater Yale University for Sex Week at Yale and other events. She has addressed a variety of groups from YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization) to LSO (Lifestyles Organization) on sex, love, pleasure, relationships, feminism, culture and the Bonobo Way.
Dr. Block’s interviews with porn stars on HBO, cable TV and the Internet are well-known, and she looks forward to seeing the stars and meeting the fans at Adultcon. The Bonobo Way of Great Sex will explore the full range of erotic possibilities, including how to “release your inner bonobo,” topping it all off with an exciting book-spanking or two (as well as traditional book-signings) with the book that’s hopefully inspiring a revolution, The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace through Pleasure.
Adultcon LA 2017 will be held September 22-24 at the LA Convention Center. Get tickets here. “The Bonobo Way of Great Sex” is scheduled for 4 p.m. on Saturday, September 23, 2017.
