Torture Garden - Tonight!

CINEKINK/FETISH MARATHON @ PIONEER
Tuesday, May 29th - 7 pm

Join us for another night of kinky movies, pizza and beer and get your Fetish Marathon off to an inspired start:

Torture Garden TGX
This sumptuous performance documentary captures the unique atmosphere and energy of a normally underground scene as the Torture Garden, the world's largest fetish and body art club, celebrates its 15th anniversary. Colorful, latex-clad revelers fill the screen while an enormous London venue is transformed into an eclectic mix of clubs within a club: fashion arena, cabaret, burlesque ballroom, dungeon and playrooms. (Directed by Mark J. Blackman, 2006, UK, 67 minutes.)

Plays with the experimental short, Bunuel Y'all, which weaves together clips from 'Belle de Jour' with the trance-like flow of fantasy. (Directed by Armand A. Ruhlman, 2004, USA, 10 minutes.)

A beer and pizza reception follows the screening for all ticket holders.

Two Boots Pioneer Theater
155 E. Third Street (@ Avenue A), NYC

Coming up next month…mark your calendars and NOTE A DATE CHANGE for our next CineKink @ Pioneer, when we’ll celebrate our Leather Pride on Wednesday, June 20th.

Rubbing the clitoris, sir?

Over at Sugarbank, they're pulled together an entertaining montage of fondly satirical send-ups of that time-honored classic, the sex education video. Among them you'll find the scene from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, in which bored schoolboys grudgingly recount various methods of foreplay and look on as headmaster John Cleese demonstrates sex with his wife.

Also included is this disturbingly erotic animation, What the Heck is Happening to My Genitals?, featuring Amy Sedaris and her puberty pals:
