“Friends, Romans, Countrywomen, lend me your ears, I come to bury Valentine’s Day, not to praise it." My apologies to Shakespeare for twisting Marc Antony’s eulogy for Julius Caesar a bit as I open the Valentine Season with Februa Seasons Beatings with a little Valentine’s Day Foreplay to relax your defenses & wake up your senses, including your sense of history, specifically the history of Valentine’s Day which begins with Lupercalia and evolves into World Bonobo Day, both blessed by Pan, Lord of the WiLD. Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality! Because... If love is going to hurt (as it often does), better to have your buns beaten (consensually) on Lupercalia than your heart broken (badly) on Valentine’s Day! Or share the Bonobo Love in The Bonobo Way on World Bonobo Day! Learn about the ins & outs of the High Holidays of Love as I tell the story of how Lupercalian communal ecstasy, hearts & floggers turned into Saint Valentine commercialism, chastity & candy flowers & is now a celebration of the Make Love Not War Bonobos, as I explore on this FDR podcast with Capt'n Max (my Valentine). Make Kink Not War! Ceasefire Now! And check out more of my prose & amazing Lupercalian Bacchanalian shows: https://drsusanblock.com/fdr-valentine-2024
