As some of you may know, I do stand up comedy.

This year shit has gotten real and I actually have a show in this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival titled So You’ve Decided To Host An Orgy.

The show itself is rather obvious in its content. Myself, and dominar Luke Bleeser (one of the Hosts of Neo Fetigoth nightclub) actually put forth an educational lecture, complete with audio/visual presentation, on how to host a group sex activity. It just so happens that there are many, many things that can and will go wrong when attempting to organise such an event, and that these problems and pitfalls happen to be hilarious.

We’ve already been described in the official MICF 2012 guide as one of the filthiest shows this year has to offer, so you should probably get a kick out of it.

The show is running Tuesday through Saturday for two weeks, kicking off April 10th at the FAD Gallery

Tickets are $15/$12conc at the door (if any are left that night) or online through either the MICF page listing or the Blernshaw Comedy website.

 

It probably doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone, but the incidence of infidelity is rising in Australia. Be it part of mainstream culture becoming more sex obsessed (I don’t believe this is the case) or people are just getting horny from something in the water isn’t really the issue. The point is that monogamous relationships and marriages clearly aren’t working as a long term construct.

Predominantly there is the psychological component at play here. The fact is that everyone is a unique individual snowflake so we can basically break them down into a limited number of psychological typings, just like an emo. When it comes to experiencing love, John Lee¹ came up with six basic forms of love back in the 70s when that was all that was on anyone’s mind. It’s important to actually realise that there are different ways of loving someone romantically. We’re not talking about loving in a filial, platonic or bromantic way. Actual romance where it’s not creepy to have sex with. These different styles of love are after different things and are often grossly incompatible – he’s not the right guy, she’s just not that into, it’s not you it’s me. This is all directly from incompatibilities people experience between different styles of love.

Another part of this definitely comes down to biology. Till death do us part isn’t so hard when you’re meant to go off in battle and possibly die in your late teens/early 20s, and your life expectancy is barely 40. With the life spans of our generation having doubled over what they were a century ago, we have alot more time to grow bored with things, and we are nothing if not creatures of acclimatization. After all, it took less than a month for AshleyMadison, a website for people who are specifically looking to have a secret affair, to achieve 300,000 signups when it launched in Australia, well over a third of these were women².

So what’s my point?

NEO fetish/gothic is, for want of a better word, and interface point between fetish and gothic nightclubbing.

Every 4th Friday at ABODE, 374 St.Kilda.rd, St Kilda, the club offers a variety of activities for the curious, the regulars, and the members. Originally starting upstairs in what was the members only area, it has since expanded and moved downstairs, allowing for a larger number of people, and a wider variety of displays.

Displays, you ask? (more…)

There are two things in life we can rely on: Death and the Japanese taking any technology available and figuring out how a penis can be associated with it. Did I mention I ♥ Japan?

Either way, you may not have heard of Teledildonics before. It was a field that was big in the early 90s, when VR and the internet were reaching the height of their hype cycles, with people saying that technology that is still a few years away now were going to be available in about 32 minutes time. Basically, teledildonics combines haptic feedback mechanisms and controllers with telecommunication technology, allowing you to fuck someone at a distance and not have to worry about STDs or anything (unless you’re using it at an internet cafe or something).

It all makes the long distance Hug Shirt seem so very 20th century.

P.S. The rest of this post is probably NSFW
