Saturday night, February 14, HBO-featured sexologist and Bonobo Way author Dr. Susan Block will celebrate "Lupercalia," the original pagan Valentine’s Day, at her studio/speakeasy located in an old converted motel, surrounded by beautiful erotic art, romantic balconies, state-of-the-art sex toys, Juxleather Lupercalian whips and floggers, an open bar and an "aphrodisiac buffet" in “Bonoboville” LA. Click here to RSVP or call 310-568-0066.
“The idea of honoring exclusive, expensive, romantic love on Valentine’s Day is a relatively new invention,” explained Dr. Block. “But the tradition of celebrating all-inclusive, free and natural lust around February 14 pre-dates classical times when prehistoric Romans put on the Lupercalia, a festival of Faunus (the Roman Pan), communal pleasures, purification, fertility, the rush of hormones, the howl of the wolf, the crack of the whip and the coming of Spring. That is what we’re going to celebrate this February 14.”
Valentine/Lupercalia in Bonoboville LA is open to couples and singles. Special celebrity guest couples include Lupercalian Angels Amor Hilton and Ron Jeremy, Miley Cyrus lookalike Miley May and poly partner Brett Ravage, AVN Hall of Famer Alana Evans and hubby Scott, Haley Sweet and Dark Phoenix as well as pop singer Jessica Shores, Rainey Lane, JuxLii, Amanda Blow, Jenny Buss and more.
“If the hard-candy hype, pressure and commercialism of Valentine's Day is giving you a toothache, consider joining us for the un-sugar-coated and delicious holiday of Lupercalia,” offered Dr. Suzy. “Better to have your buns beaten (consensually, of course) than your heart broken. And speaking of the quintessential symbol of V-Day, doesn’t that so-called ‘heart’ looks a lot less like the cardiac organ than a well-whipped derriere?”
