[From Sugasm #144 & Note]

This may come as a surprise to most people but hospital food has been bad mouthed for a long time… rubbery chicken or boiled beef… under done potatoes or over done peas, pudding - vintage 1949.

But here’s the thought… the alternatives available, starvation diet, not needing to eat because you aren’t there, not nearly as appetizing.

As I sit here waiting on my third heart surgery in as many weeks, NPO (nothing passed orally - no food or water), I can imagine that strained rice soup after a day of not eating might be better than (ok, almost as good as) embalming fluid after a day of not breathing.

If you take the worst cook in the world, they probably already work in some institutional kitchen someplace, but they are still a better host than the mortician.

Most of my friends on fetlife know that i have been ill for a long while.

the result is that this week, the INVINCIBLE Master, became the very vincible - drop kicked to the curb - spatua lifted into an ambulance and taken in for heart surgery.

5 daysin a hospital and a pace maker later, i am now - BIONIC Master!!!

horray for me.

sad truth is, though, i’m actually feeling lots better with the obvious exception that the incision hurts like hell… but surgery is like that.. no passing out at the drop of a hat or ignoring everyone telling me i look like hell, i need to see a doctor.

while i will agree, now, that 911 was the right call at the right time, i’m still the arrogant asshole you’ve all come to know and love.

only now i have the optional electronics package.

Browsing his most recent show, you get the feeling few people enjoy their job as much as photographer Lochai.

His Beach Bound exhibit at the World Erotic Art Museum (1205 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach) is a study in Lochai’s various fetishes. While front and center is the theme of women in bondage — hence the show’s title — the photographer’s NC-17 tastes clearly run the gamut: the images include a nun in a leather gas mask, a naked woman perched above a toilet, and an androgynous figure in a full-body rubber suit, lying in a bathtub being pummeled by running water from the spout above.

But as unlikely as it sounds, the images aren’t necessarily shocking — nor does that seem to be Lochai’s intent. And instead of the violence you might expect from a portfolio of bondage photos, there’s a playfulness instead. In images that might otherwise invoke terror — for instance, the pair that shows a woman left bound by a hotel bed, or in an eerily domestic living room — the subjects gaze with a mix of mockery and intrigue at the camera.

As to whether you should go to this show, it’s fetishism — either it gets your attention or it doesn’t. If you’re a regular reader of “Savage Love,” you’ll probably find this exhibit, at the least, entertaining. If you’ve ever protested a gay Teletubby, on the other hand, you should probably save your cash for Miami Spice.

If you do go, be sure to wander around the rest of the museum, which is surprisingly expansive for a place that’s very missable from the outside. They’ve got it all here, with perverse pieces from all over the world, ranging from the contemporary (an 8-foot golden penis statue) to the ancient (Chinese jade dildoes). You won’t look at a lamppost, or a bald guy, the same way for the rest of the day.

Writing a song about self love isn’t as easy as it sounds, I imagine. How do you pen a tune about masturbation that doesn’t sound obvious or conjure up disturbing images? The following artists did it right, in no particular order (and check out clips of the songs, after the jump).

9. “And when my hand touches myself/I can finally rest my head/And when they take from his body/I think I’ll take from mine instead/Getting off, getting off while they’re all downstairs.”—Tori Amos, “Icicle”
Lyrical analysis isn’t my forte, but it seems like Tori is saying she’s diddling herself while her man’s funeral is going on downstairs. Scandalous!

8. “When there’s no-one else in sight/In the crowded lonely night/Well I wait so long/For my love vibration/And I’m dancing with myself.”—Billy Idol, “Dancing With Myself”
Do you think he keeps his leather glove on when he’s doin’ it?

7. “Let me go on, like I blister in the sun/Let me go on, big hands I know your the one/Body and beats, I stain my sheets/I don’t even know why.”—The Violent Femmes, “Blister In The Sun”
The Violent Femmes should really consider having a box of Kleenex on the nightstand for such occasions.

6. “You got your left hand/You got your right hand/The left hand’s diddling/While the right hand goes to work.”—Devo, “Praying Hands”
How instructional!

5. “Do we even need to write the lyrics here?/You know the damn thing by now don’t you? Don’t you? Fine, here it is/I don’t want anybody else/And when I think about you I touch myself/Ooh, ooh, ooh, aah.”—The Divinyls, “I Touch Myself”
Many people fantasize about their own sexual partners when masturbating. Do you?

4. “This I’ve got your picture, I’ve got your picture/I’d like a million of you all round my cell/I want a doctor to take your picture/So I can look at you from inside as well/You’ve got me turning up and turning down/And turning in and turning ‘round/I’m turning Japanese, I think I’m turning Japanese.”—The Vapors, “Turning Japanese”
So the deal with this song is that a guy, like, squints his eyes when he’s about to…you know…and hence he is “turning Japanese”. I sort of think this song is a little racist but it is a classic.

3. “Do I wanna go out with a lions roar/Huh, yea, I wanna go south n get me some more/Hey, they say that a stitch in time saves nine/They say I better stop–or Ill go blind/Oop–she bop–she bop.”—Cyndi Lauper, “She Bop”
Prudes sometimes tell their kids that masturbating will make them go blind. All I know is I can see just fine. Hey! That rhymed!

2. “Cause I just discovered/Imagination’s taken over/Another day without a lover/The more I come to understand the touch of my hand/The small of my back/The arch of my feet/Lately I’ve been noticing the beautiful me/I’m all in my skin and I’m not gonna wait/I’m into myself in a most precious way.”—Britney Spears, “The Touch Of My Hand”
For the record, this is post-Justin, pre-Federline, so girlfriend was probably a little lonely.

1. “I knew a girl named Nikki/I guess u could say she was a sex fiend/I met her in a hotel lobby/Masturbating with a magazine/She said how’d you like to waste some time/And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind.”—Prince, “Darling Nikki”
This song and it’s racy lyrics is what prompted Tipper Gore to form the Parents Music Resource Center, which eventually led to the use of “Parental Advisory” stickers and imprints on album covers. The song was also dubbed ‘pornographic’ and ‘satanic’. Awesome!
