New Alternative to Adult Diapers and Catheters Sets Men Free â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Super-comfortable,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; oďŹ&#x20AC;ers 24 hour leak-free security, available to many at little to no out-of-pocket cost!

CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the four million American men who secretly wear adult diapers, or use a catheter to deal with your urinary incontinence or weak bladder, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some lifechanging news.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new non-catheter alternative available that not only helps keep men dry and leak-free for up to 24 consecutive hours, but the best part is, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re covered by Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and some select insurance plans, you can try this high-tech â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ďŹ&#x201A;uid collectionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; breakthrough at little to no out-of-pocket cost.

FROM THE EDITOR 2018

Taking cover KERITH GABRIEL

L

ast week, our editorial team was informed by our parent company, Newspaper Media Group that over the next nine weeks, our publication will host an advertisement promoting gubernatorial candidate Scott Wagner.

Nine weeks.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re holding this in your hand, then you saw the ad on our front cover. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading digitally, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll notice the banner ad on our homepage. Let me be clear, that this advertisement for candidacy does not reďŹ&#x201A;ect an endorsement of Wagner on behalf of both the editorial staff here at Philadelphia Weekly or the views of our collective parent company.

SpeciďŹ cally, from an editorial standpoint, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about Wagner as a Republican candidate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and frankly I could give a damn about his political afďŹ liation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it has everything to do with the ethics and standards we try to uphold. Let me also be clear that hosting Wagner as a candidate ON THE COVER of our publication doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reďŹ&#x201A;ect any views of an editor tasked with manning the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last remaining news hub for alternative journalism.

Wagner has been outspoken on his views on LGBT rights, abortion (and ostensibly a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to choose), in addition to climate change.

During a town meeting over the the summer, Wagner intimated that regardless of current sex, those living a trans lifestyle should use the bathroom under the gender â&#x20AC;&#x153;theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re born with.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also alleged that he noted being â&#x20AC;&#x153;100 percent Pro-Life.â&#x20AC;? At another meeting, Wagner called an 18-yearold girl â&#x20AC;&#x153;young and naiveâ&#x20AC;? for her taking issue with the effects of fracking, an ongoing environmental issue here in Philadelphia and globally with its effect on our climate.

In all cases, a spokesperson within Wag-

3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

nerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign was forced to clarify â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but by that time, we all know the damage was done.

I was always taught that people generally mean what they say.

I hold much of that to be evident in this case as well.

Where we have a problem with this from an editorial standpoint, and honestly where I as editor have an issue personally, is that Philly Weekly continually promotes the lifestyle and culture of those within the LGBT community. We actively partner with a number of sustainability groups and organizations to recognize climate change as a drastic issue within not just our world, but also speciďŹ cally here in the City of Philadelphia.

We, as an editorial staff, went to our collective executive group with these issues and were met with understanding that perhaps the ad was not the most ideal ďŹ t. But, by that point, hands ultimately seemed tied. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret in the advertising world that pols pay top dollar for ads and that regardless of afďŹ liation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ďŹ rst-come, ďŹ rst-served for placement as long as you are willing to pay premium.

In the eyes of our sales team, this is nothing more than doing their diligence to keep this unique brand of journalism alive. We live in an era where more and more publications, like ours, are ďŹ nding the lights being turned off in the era of a changing news landscape and as a result, forcing sales teams to make decisions that sometimes arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ideal.

But ethics, man. Ethics.

With all of this said, I just want to proactively send a personal apology to anyone these ads over the term of this agreement will offend. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also apologetic to our partners and other advertisers and implore you to see this merely for what it is at the end of the day: another advertisement.

And at the end of the day, this one is a bit of a hard pill for us to swallow here in the newsroom, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one that we are forced to realize given the current reality of journalism and the general decline of news.

In this business, ethics takes a back seat when money has a hold of the wheel. Q TWITTER: @SPRTSWTR

Architects that designed the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Center One building in South Philadelphia saw it as a look into Phillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope that a modern facade will take over that corner of Broad.

For preservationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Center One building on South Broad Street is up for historic designation. But...why?

BY JARED BREY

I

must have walked past Health Center One dozens of times over the course of close to a decade before I ever really noticed it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the building on the southwest corner of Broad and Lombard streets in Center City. The one with teal bricks and rounded corners and big glass planes with block letters proclaiming â&#x20AC;&#x153;DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.â&#x20AC;?

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to look at on that stretch of South Broad Street. A strikingly ornamented house on the other side of the street was once thought to be the work of famed Philadelphia architect Frank Furness. Facing north, on the other side of Lombard, the Symphony House, built by de-

6(37(0%(5

veloper Carl Dranoff, draws your eye up to the more grandly scaled parade of buildings leading to City Hall. The three-story health center, which was completed in 1960, is sort of shaded away at the corner. I took it for granted until, one day, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sort of the story of mid-century modern architecture in general. For a while, a lot of it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t old enough to be considered important by historians and preservationists. But now it is, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bonanza of activity around trying to protect prominent examples of the style. Lately, the Department of Public Health has begun moving workers out of Health Center One and into other locations as the city seeks a developer to buy and redevelop the prominent corner prop-

erty. The building should be vacant by August 2019, according to a spokesman for the Department of Planning and Development, and the city expects to announce a developer for the project this fall.

Meanwhile, last year, the Philadelphia Historical Commission voted to add the teal facade to the local Register of Historic Places. That means itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theoretically. But developers of other historic buildings have occasionally found ways around designation, getting permission to demolish by claiming that preserving speciďŹ c buildings is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;ďŹ nancial hardship.â&#x20AC;? Even if the developers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go that route for Health Center One, some say, the fact that the building is now listed on the historic register could lower the value of the

property, keeping untold dollars from the city and schools. Which raises a question: What is the preserved building worth?

The city says two developers were invited to respond to a Request for Proposals to redevelop the site, after an initial Request for QualiďŹ cations was released last year. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not saying who the ďŹ nalists are until it announces the winner later this year. A list of attendees for a tour of the site released as part of the solicitation included a host of prominent developers, and rumor has it that the Goldenberg Group, which owns the adjacent charter school building, is in the running. (Goldenberg declined to comment for this story.)

In its initial request for qualiďŹ cations, the city said it preferred a mixed-use commercial and residential or hotel project that would create active uses on the ground ďŹ&#x201A;oor.

It was agnostic about whether or not the existing building should be reused â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but that was before the Historical Commission voted to designate it. The Department of Planning and Development says it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether the designation lowered the offering price of either of the ďŹ nalists.

Earlier in August, the Point Breeze-based developer Ori Feibush, who says he has no ďŹ nancial interest in the property, but who seems to have a special knack for dividing people into camps, posted a poll in a Facebook group about urban issues in Philadelphia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Which would you choose if you had a vote?â&#x20AC;? the poll said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contribute $10mm to our City and School District, or Preserve the Facade of Health Center One.â&#x20AC;?

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no reason to assume that $10 million is the accurate amount by which the value of the property is lowered because of the historic designation. But it stands to reason that it would be easier, and cheaper, to redevelop the property from a blank slate rather than keeping the historic facade intact. (For what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth, most respondents voted for the additional money instead of preservation, but that may say as much about the membership of a private Facebook group as anything else. And yes, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reporting Feibushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poll here with his permission.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hoping to create a dialogue over the very obvious reality that most preservationists seem unwilling to discuss, that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cost to preservation,â&#x20AC;? Feibush says.

The state of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Center One building is yet another structure locked in a battle of development vs. preservation.

Feibush says the poll didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really create the kind of dialogue he claims to have wanted, but he stands by the question: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Either you are willing to sacriďŹ ce tax dollars to preserve a building for the greater public good, or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both are OK positions.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cold assessment of the issue. But I wonder if it may be useful. In Philadelphia, where historic buildings are often threatened by development, preservationists might beneďŹ t from articulating exactly why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth spending public effort or forgoing public money to keep old buildings intact. If they concede the assumption that the best use of all public property is to maximize the amount of revenue you can get from its sale, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always going to be on the defensive.

Feibush says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t personally care about the Health Center One facade. I know some Dept. of Public Health employees wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind watching it be demolished either.

But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some of what the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia had to say in its nomination of the building for historic status: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinctive mid-century style is â&#x20AC;Ś an important contribution to the urban streetscape of South Broad Street, a historic and contemporary focal point of the arts in Philadelphia. The modern impulses of District Health Center 1 are most apparent in its form. A synthesis of geometry and curves, the exaggerated bold shapes are emphasized

by horizontal lines and inset base. The ribbon windows and space-age pilot house skylight transform the building into an icon of science ďŹ ction. At night, light glows through the glass block mosaics and ribbon windows, reinforcing the futuristic feel of the design.â&#x20AC;?

Patrick Grossi, the advocacy director for the Preservation Alliance, says the architects of the building, Newcomb Montgomery and Robert Bishop, employed design elements to â&#x20AC;&#x153;suggest an optimistic future for the city.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether you buy this or not, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open to debate and interpretation, but the architects meant it that way,â&#x20AC;? Grossi says.

Grossi also acknowledges the corner of Broad and Lombard could handle a lot more density than a three-story public services building. But the building is one that could potentially accommodate an overbuild, he says, and there are also other portions of the site that could be built up. And importantly, the facade reďŹ&#x201A;ects an era when the city thought differently about what its public buildings could do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speaking for myself, I really love this building,â&#x20AC;? Grossi says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a niche of architectural history that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really interested in.

But what I also really like about it is, it's a reminder of a time when the city actually did put resources and time and thought into the design of its public buildings. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too many examples of that in recent history.â&#x20AC;?

IMAGE COURTESY: HSC PRODUCTIONS

A look at the lives school tragedies directly affect even if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in the line of fire is the focus of Lockhardt, an independent Fringe show beginning Sept. 7.

First person shooter After receiving high praise in NYC, Lockhardt takes an expanded look at school violence at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fringe Festival

BY KERITH GABRIEL

W

hen we hear of school shootings in America, the focus is always on the victims, those directly affected. The lives lost and those injured take the front seat when it comes to describing the impact of such an event.

But what about the ones in the building? In a different part of the school, the ones not directly affected but that too will have their lives irreversibly changed by such an event?

That side of school shootings is equally as important and is the focus of a powerful independent Fringe presentation called Lockhardt, beginning Sept. 7 on the Arcadia Stage at the Arden Theater. The show will tell the event through the eyes of one teacher, Ms. Hendricks, played by Amanda Curry. The show played to rave reviews during a short theater production in New York City in 2017, but this Fringe iteration has been upgraded to an hour-long production by the folks at HSC Productions.

6(37(0%(5

Before the start of the show, PW caught up with Tom Englan, producer, artist director and playwright at HSC, about what Fringe-goers can expect from this new version of Lockhardt and the intrinsic look at the human side of such a devastating event.

When did you collectively decide that it was time to host a show like this?

This show has been in development since 2017; it was part of a short theater festival in New York City where it ďŹ nished runner-up as best play. Basically, we live in a world where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve become desensitized to just how traumatic something like a school shooting really is. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely terrifying, but for so many until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in it, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this weird desensitization to it all. When we think of trauma even now we think more about direct victims like the people who were hurt, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; teachers, students, staff who just for being in the building their lives are changed forever. So that was really something I wanted to make more of a focal point in the Fringe piece.

Well, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made the piece a bit longer, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now an hour-long show that goes hand-in-hand with the work of the original director of the piece, Ben Smallen. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to basically tell this through the eyes of the teacher, the main character of the story Ms. Hendricks, and viewing her as what she was as a very conďŹ dent and competent AP English teacher to now being charged with having to take care of both her students and herself during such a traumatic experience. How fair is that for her as a teacher? What are the rules that she has to follow?

Do you listen to your own instincts or the rules that are suggested by the school who are looking at it through a second hand lens? How quickly can you adapt? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking to tell this through the teacherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes and how she becomes the protector here in addition to being the educator.

So talk to me about the lead actress Amanda Curry. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her passion for this role and how excited is she to play Ms. Hendricks?

I am beyond lucky to be back with Amanda. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the original actor playing the role of Ms. Hendricks, Amanda Curry. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beyond talented, but more importantly a compassionate actress that brings a lot of realism to the role.

In her normal 9-to-5 job, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually an English and Theater teacher herself at a school in Delaware.

When I decided to expand the staff, the caveat was that we had to retain Amanda. She just does a really great job at showing how strong teachers are but also that there is a humanity to what they do. That they arrive as educators, but then get in their cars and go home and deal with real life and families the same as all of us.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an immense amount of pride brought to this job.

As an outsider looking in, it seems like telling this type of story is really important and vital for you. Why? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about giving a little more understanding and respect to people that have been a part of this. The way that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve summed up this story is that this show is about the victims of school shootings that were able

to have a camera shoved in their face by the news. They were the teachers and the students in other parts of the building that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have direct contact with the attacker, but felt the pain with every shot. That trauma changes you.

What will you hope that fans take away from this expanded version?

Talking specifically about fans of the original show and now Fringe first timers?

The point of this show is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a political topic that people feel they have different solutions to these problems, but what we hope to explore is that there is a root to all of our calls to action and a root for humanity. I think the ďŹ rst thing we need to understand here is that this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a news blip that you watch and sympathize with. There are human beings like us in these horriďŹ c situations whose lives were literally changed forever the minute that ďŹ rst shot went off from an intruder. As an audience member, I want people to experience that and feel the anonymity of threat, feeling the fear and thinking not just about â&#x20AC;&#x153;what would I do [for myself]â&#x20AC;? but also â&#x20AC;&#x153;how would I think of others in that situation.â&#x20AC;?

The folks at Bearded Ladies Cabaret will convey the art of burlesque in their Fringe Festival curated piece, Do You Want a Cookie?

Sex and snacks

Bearded Ladies hope to explore the lines of cabaret in world premiere Fringe offering, Do You Want A Cookie

BY TIMAREE SCHMIT

Y

ouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve deďŹ nitely heard of it, maybe experienced it, but now that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what is cabaret?

The answer? Complex.

This is according to Sally Ollove, associate artistic director of the internationally renowned Bearded Ladies Cabaret, and the question the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming world premiere Fringe Festival production, Do You Want A Cookie? seeks to explore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cabaret is a much mushier term than burlesque

6(37(0%(5

and theater, in part because it combines many different traditions,â&#x20AC;? she explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it does have a distinctive origin: Paris in 1881. We think what uniďŹ es most cabaret performances is that they are late-night events that embrace the centrality of an intimate audience/performer relationship.â&#x20AC;?

The Bearded Ladies will be using a massive, cavernous old factory as the setting for this experiment, combining baked goods with performance as they showcase highlights in the history cabaret, â&#x20AC;&#x153;from Le Chat Noir to Weimar nightlife to 21st-century drag.â&#x20AC;?

Presented at the 448 N. 10th St. arts building over the course of the Fringe Festival, Do You Want a Cookie?

will also show on select nights that will have unique post-show opportunity to enjoy a variety of featured cabaret artists during a segment called Late Night Snacks. Featured performers include Philly beloveds such as Dito van Reigersberg, Jess Conda and Tareke Ortiz.

Given the political climate, now is a particularly apt time to examine this lineage and ask questions about the nature of cabaret, including its very purpose. Ollove, who is the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dramaturg and co-conceiver of this project, explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can see that cabaret often ďŹ&#x201A;ourishes just after or during times of sociopolitical upheaval, but what role, if any, do cabaret artists play in those spheres? What happens when you are both trying to challenge a dominant societal structure but are also complicit in it?â&#x20AC;?

And how long have these feelings been around? How about well over a century. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cabaret history is ďŹ lled with artists who are more privileged speaking in the vernacular of the disenfranchised,â&#x20AC;? Ollove continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Artists who attempt to satirize something only to inadvertently sanitize their target, artists who compromise their values in the name of self-preservation, artists who move to working-class neighborhoods in search of freedom to make their art, only to be trailed by wealthy patrons who change the character of the neighborhood, and artists who start performing for a deliberately insular community, only to become so popular that their work ends up consumed by the very people their community was insulating from.

These are questions and situations that arise again and again in cabaret's 137-year history.â&#x20AC;?

As the show looks at the history of this artform, it also considers the audience itself. Cabaret has tended to have a notably dichotomous following. It cultivates a collection of artists and yet, tied to nightlife, relies upon a degree of institutional wealth to succeed. Surprisingly, the result is a potential for meaningful community building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe cabaret brings people together into a community in a way no other form can because of the centrality of the performer/audience relationship,â&#x20AC;? Ollove explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;That relationship opens up the audience to relate and be present with each other. We believe that human connections are vital and that cabaret can be a way to foster those con-

nections.â&#x20AC;?

So who is the audience for a show about cabaret itself? According to John Jarboe, the artistic director of the Bearded Ladies who directed and co-conceived the piece and will be performing it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The misďŹ ts and the moneyed. People who love cabaret, people who hate cabaret, people who are like: what the hell is cabaret? Anyone in search of a community and a connection to history.â&#x20AC;?

What does any of that have to do with baked goods? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The title is a reference to a quote from a Weimar-era cabaret composer named Friedrich Hollaender who was searching for a deďŹ nition of cabaret of his own,â&#x20AC;?

Ollove explains, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In an essay on the subject, he refers to cabaret as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;poison cookie.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; We've got a number of cookies joining us from far-ďŹ&#x201A;ung places like Seattle, Poland, Paris and Fishtown, each with their own particular brand of poison and cookie.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We've got 14 different performers, each of whom performs cabaret differently,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So come to the show and ďŹ nd out which deďŹ nition meets your needs!â&#x20AC;?

SAVAGE LOVE

Shooting Stars I

DAN SAVAGE

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a cis woman in my mid-40s, and my signiďŹ cant other has a cuckolding fetish.

My ďŹ rst response was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, hell no!â&#x20AC;? But if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m willing to have a threesome, how much further of a stretch is it, really? He does have some experience with this varsity-level kink, so he knows what to expect. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve asked him some questions, but some things I prefer to research on my own. My questions for you: (1) I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get cuckolding. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read all about it, but nothing about it resonates with me. My SO really wants me to be into his fetish if I am going to act on it, but what if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just into being GGG? Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that be enough? (2) How should I go about ďŹ nding appropriate candidates who would be into sharing this experience with us?

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really sure that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want someone with experience as a bull, because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel good about this playing out the way Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen it in porn. (3) We enjoy cross-dressing and chastity play. How do I ďŹ nd someone who will be cool about my SO sitting in the room in a cock lock and lingerie? (4) I kind of have a â&#x20AC;&#x153;typeâ&#x20AC;? (donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we all), and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not certain my type plays into this kink. I prefer someone who is very dominant in public but submissive to me in the bedroom. This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to align with your typical bull behavior. However, I do not enjoy being dominated. Do you think this matters?

-- Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Understand Cuckold Kink 1. Cuckolding isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that hard to understand: A cuckold gets off on their partner fucking other people and being humiliated or degraded by their partner and/or their partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playmates.

Seeing as you already enjoy dominating guys and threesomes, CUCK, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to enjoy about a cuckolding scenario?

2. Vanilla PIV intercourse rarely plays out in real life the way it does in porn. So whether you go with an experienced bull or ďŹ nd someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfamiliar with cuckold play but game, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to reenact whatever cuckold porn youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched or read. Write your own script!

3. By using your words, CUCK. Tell any guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interested in being your very special guest star (VSGS) that your SO is a cuckold and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there in lingerie with his cock locked up. If

3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20

that turns a VSGS candidate off, then heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the right VSGS for you.

4. In most cuckold porn, the bull â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the man who fucks the cuckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife or girlfriend (or boyfriend or husband) in front of him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the dominant partner. But, again, you get to write your own script, and if you want your bull to be submissive, make that clear to your potential bulls.

My wife has a fantasy where sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blindfolded and restrained on our bed. She hears the front door open, followed by footsteps coming up the stairs, and then sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ravished by â&#x20AC;Ś who? She wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, presumably, until itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over. My question: In fulďŹ lling this fantasy for her, where anonymity and surprise are part of the appeal, what do I tell her in advance? Do I discuss the entire scenario with her, so she knows exactly whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen, minus the identity of the very special guest star (who would be a semi-regular weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played with before, but she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily know that at ďŹ rst)? That seems to eliminate the surprise element of the fantasy. Is it enough to tell her, without mentioning the speciďŹ c scenario, that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to make one of her fantasies come true, and ask her to trust me?

-- Ethical Thinking In Quite Unusual, Elaborate Tied Tight Enactment Presumably? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no room for â&#x20AC;&#x153;presumablyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re arranging to fulďŹ ll a varsity-level fantasy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guessing sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather not know whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ravishing her before or during the big event, ETIQUETTE, and she may not want to know after. But you need to ask her what she wants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no presumptions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; before you start making arrangements.

She might want to know everything in advance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including the identity of that stranger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or she might want you to decide everything.

But you need to check in with her ďŹ rst: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honey, I want to help you realize that fantasy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tied to the bed, a stranger arrives, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ravished by said stranger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I need to know how involved you want to be in the planning.

Clear everything with you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where, when, who, how â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or just make it happen?â&#x20AC;?

You may ďŹ nd that she wants to be surprised by who but not by when, ETIQUETTE, or by when but not by who â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or by who but not by when, how, or where. Or she may want the whole thing to be a surprise. But you have to ďŹ nd out exactly what she wants before you make any plans.

And hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bonus pro tip for you: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reveal the identity of your VSGS immediately afterward. Because if it goes well, and your wife wants a repeat, you may be able to get a few more encounters out of your ďŹ rst VSGS. J

Costly Joint-Pain Injections Replaced By New $2 Pill New pill boosts the same lubricating joint luid as expensive and painful injections - without using a needle. Users report dramatic relief from swelling, pain and stiffness without side effects and expense.

By Jack Isler, M.D. Health News Syndicate HNSâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;A popular needle injection for people with joint pain is now available in an inexpensive nonprescription pill. The breakthrough came when researchers discovered a way to deliver the injected â&#x20AC;&#x153;relief moleculeâ&#x20AC;? through the digestive system.

Top US clinics have used these needle injections for years because they deliver powerful relief. Unfortunately, the shots are painful and expensive. They also only work on the joint being treated.

The new pill, called Synovia, delivers the same â&#x20AC;&#x153;relief moleculeâ&#x20AC;? as the injections. However, it has some impressive advantages.

First, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inexpensive and nonprescription. Also, relief is delivered to every joint in the body because it enters the bloodstream through the digestive system.

This gives it the ability to reduce a much wider variety of pain.

Users report greater lexibility and less stiffness in their knees. Hands and shoulders move pain-free for the irst time in years. Even neck and lower back pain improve dramatically.

All this without spending over $600 on needle injections and taking trips to the doctor every week.

The medical community is very excited about this new breakthrough. Dr. Jacob Moss says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Synovia is a great option for those suffering from joint pain.

Injections are usually a last resort

BEFORE: No lubricating fluid luid or or UNHEALTHY: No lubricating cartilage lead to to pain bone-on-bone cartilage leads painful bone-onrubbing. bone rubbing.

because of the pain and expense.

However, Synovia should be taken at the irst sign of discomfort.â&#x20AC;?

New Discovery The needle injection procedure has been given to hundreds of thousands of patients over the last several years.

Doctors use the shots to boost a critical element of the joint called synovial luid. This lubricating luid is found between the cartilage and bones of every joint.

According to the irmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head of R&D, Mike McNeill, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Researchers have been working for years to ind a way to boost this luid noninvasively. The problem was the molecule used in the injections was too large to absorb into the bloodstream.â&#x20AC;?

Top scientists conquered this obstacle by inding a smaller form of the same molecule. This new glucose form is easily absorbed by your stomach and intestines!

Now those who suffer from joint pain can get relief without painful injections. At less than $2 per day, early users like Steve Young are impressed. He says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried more pills than I can count, without any luck. Synovia is different.

My knees and hands havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t felt this good in years!â&#x20AC;?

Impressive Clinical Results Leading clinics use injection therapy because it works. Recent clinical trials show the pill form also delivers major relief.

One example is a landmark study out of Europe. In the study

AFTER: Synoviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HEALTHY: Synoviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sactive activeingredients ingredients lubricatejoints jointsand and nourish nourish cartilage! cartilage so it lubricate can re-grow!

the active ingredient in Synovia was compared to a popular NSAID pain reliever. The goal was to see if it could reduce pain and swelling around the knee. The results were incredible!

After just 30 days, more than 8 out of 10 people who took Synoviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s active ingredient had NO swelling. However, only 2 out of 10 people who took the NSAID experienced reduced swelling.

The study also looked at cases of severe swelling. Amazingly, zero cases of severe swelling were detected in the group taking the active ingredient found in Synovia. This means it was 100% effective for the cases of severe swelling!

In contrast, 9 out of 10 people taking the NSAID still had severe swelling. McNeill points out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The impressive thing about this study is the active ingredient wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tested against a fake pill. It was up against one of the most popular NSAIDs people use every day.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see why people in pain are excited to get relief without an injection.â&#x20AC;?

The New Way It Delivers Relief Getting relief without injections has big advantages. The most obvious is avoiding being stuck by a large needle every week for 5 weeks.

Another downside of injections is the doctor can â&#x20AC;&#x153;missâ&#x20AC;?. The needle needs to be inserted into a precise spot in the joint to work. Otherwise, you risk the treatment being ineffective.

However, boosting your lubricating joint luid by taking a pill delivers relief to all your joints, not just one.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an additional reason the active ingredient in Synovia works so well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it nourishes the cartilage.

McNeill says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is vital because cartilage does not have blood vessels. The luid in the joint serves two very important pain-relief roles: lubrication and giving the cartilage the nutrients it needs.â&#x20AC;?

NO MORE NEEDLES: A popular needle injection pain-killer for joint pain is being replaced. The key molecule in these injections can now be delivered by taking a new low-cost pill called Synovia.

Approved By Leading Doctors The new delivery system for this molecule has caught the attention of leading medical doctors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Needle injections for joint pain have been around for years because they work. Being able to get the same relief molecule through a pill is amazing. Injections may be a last resort, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d recommend Synovia at the irst sign of pain,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Marie Laguna.

Dr. Moss adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The research behind the active ingredient in Synovia is very exciting. This product is a great choice for those who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had success with other joint pain treatments.â&#x20AC;?

110% Money Back Guarantee Amazing feedback from users of Synovia has generated a wave of conidence at the company. So much so that they now offer Synovia with a 110% money back guarantee.

The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, Michael Kenneth says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen how well it works. Now we want to remove any risk for those who might think Synovia sounds too good to be true.â&#x20AC;?

Simply take the pill exactly as directed. You must enjoy fast acting relief. Otherwise, return the product as directed and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll receive 100% of your money back plus an extra 10%.

How To Get Synovia Today marks the of icial release of Synovia in Pennsylvania. As such, the company is offering a special discounted supply to everyone who calls within the next 48 hours.
