This study identifies the emergence of two main identity-types at-play on OnYourKnees: the jock and the coach. Jocks are generally characterized by a focus on sports and body-consciousness, a disinterest or inability to engage in scholarly/academic pursuits, and a desire to be submissive to others to achieve sexual pleasure. Coaches, on the other hand, are characterized by wisdom, dominance, and a desire to hypnotize others. Using Fairclough’s (1992) three-axis methodology for analyzing the relationships among language, ideology, and power, this study analyzes how participants on OnYourKnees simultaneously overlap numerous ideological frames, each with their own conceptions of power, onto their senses of Self and Other. On one level, jocks and coaches engage in identity practices largely congruent with ideologies of Americanized hegemonic masculinity, which stress the development of a single type of masculinity that is seen as paramount to all others. Through this framework, self-identified jocks and coaches create and maintain a binary-structure system that places some men (coaches) in positions of power, and others (jocks) in positions of willing subordination. This is demonstrated through an in-depth qualitative analysis of posts on OnYourKnees, the development of a specific ‘direct’ style of hypnotic trance that places listeners in positions of limited agency, and the deployment of orthographic tools that index self-identified jocks and coaches (analyzed using Halliday and Mathiessen’s [2004] Systemic-Function Linguistics). On the other hand, participants simultaneously align with a bondage/discipline/sadism/masochism (BDSM) ideology that stresses the importance of consent among all participants involved, and places both jocks and coaches on ideologically equal footing. Ultimately, this study demonstrates how Critical Discourse Analysis-inspired methodologies can be used to identify how multiple ideologies can be interwoven with identity construction to create and maintain complex subject positions. iv Table of Contents: INTRODUCTION......................................................................................................................... 1

  • Integrated Kink E-Book
    2 HEY THERE, YOU CURIOUS KINKSTER! - - - - X Welcome to a personal guide on exploring integrated, conscious kink. Perhaps you’re a practicing kinkster, desiring knowledge of how to deepen your connection and understanding of this part of the world, or perhaps you’re new to it all and want to try to expand your kinky horizons.Maybe you have judgments about kink/BDSM and you are looking to consider it in a different light. Whatever your reasons, this is for you. I’m Luna, and I have worked in and around the adult industry for about 10 years now. I have been part of ‘conscious communities’ since my first bush doof/psy party at 15. Since then, I have studied yoga, tantra, meditation and breathwork over the years before moving into the study of Integrated sex, love and relationship coaching, delving deeper and deeper into the psychology of sexuality. I absolutely love to fuse the spiritual, sacred sexuality realms with the kinky, sexy and raunchy. I find that the two worlds can absolutely blend well together and go hand-in-hand. Exploring kink has been an incredibly healing and liberating experience for me (for the most part!) and I love to help shift the perspective of the world of kink for those who perhaps wouldn’t usually give it a go. After years in the Australian adult industry and alternative scenes, running events, a freelance network for models and being a freelance performer, I moved to Europe to explore more liberal, free lifestyles and the creative hubs of the world.

  • Reel Two Send in the Clones
    HOW TO LEGALLY QUOTE THIS MATERIAL www.JackFritscher.com/Drummer/Research%20Note.html Some Dance to Remember 87 Reel Two Send in the Clones 1 Clarinet intro. Then bass and soft piano.“Maybe next time, I’ll be Kan- der.” Kweenie parodied the blues, doing Liza doing Judy. “Maybe next time, he’ll be Ebb.” In the baby pinpoint spot, she was all bowler hat, big eyelashes, red lipstick, and spit curls pasted on each cheek. “Maybe next time for the best time...” Her red-sequined Judy-jacket reflected darts of spotlight around the supper club. “...he’ll be totally gay.” She blew a kiss to her drummer brushing her beat. “He will do me? Fast! I’ll be homo? At last!” Outing her lust for gay men, she teased the lyrics. “Not a ‘lady’ anymore like the last hag and the hag before.” She picked up the chorus. “Everybody loves a lover.” She expanded. “So everybody loves me.” Her green fingernails clawed the air above her head. “Lady Castro. Lady Fol- som. Take a big look at me!” She hit all the right poses to make them love her. “When all you boys are in my corner, I’ll blow you all away!” Chan- neling Judy’s invincible voice, she became Liza the Conqueror. “Call me Kweenie! Call me Kweenie!” She thrust jazz hands up framing her face. As the audience rose to their feet, she exploded. “Maybe next time, maybe next time, you’ll love me!” The supper crowd at Fanny’s loved Kweenasheba. She was as good as Ryan at being other people, but she, singing torch usually best sung by divas one scotch-and-soda past their prime, knew when to quit.

  • Industrial Strength Queer: Club Fuck and the Reorientation of Desire
    Industrial Strength Queer Club Fuck! and the Reorientation of Desire Bhaskar Sarkar Figure 1: Club Fuck! publicity flyer, early 1990. Media Fields Journal no. 7 (2013) 3 Media Fields Journal “The Best Fuck in Town” The research for this essay began in my garage, a space that bears the brunt of my packrat obsessions. As I dusted off and opened a box of club-land memorabilia dating back two decades, a rush of allergies and nostalgia swept over me. Sifting through the flyers, advertisements, and such related to the legendary Club Fuck!, I was transported instantly to Basgo’s Disco, a sliver of a club wedged between a laundromat and a fast food joint along a rundown strip of Sunset Boulevard in Silverlake. This architecturally unremarkable spot, officially acknowledged since 2008 as a GLBT community landmark, has undergone several name changes and witnessed a whole lot of history. Once known Figure 2: Publicity for Sin-a-Matic (c. 1991) and Fetish Ball (1998). as the Black Cat, it was the scene of an aggressive police raid on New Year’s Eve, 1966–67, precipitating street protests that heralded the Los Angeles gay rights movement. More recently, the venue was called Le Barcito and was popular for its biweekly drag shows.1 The 1980s–early 1990s avatar, Basgo’s 4 Industrial Strength Queer Disco, was a blue collar, neighborhood latino gay bar; except on Sunday nights between 1989 and 1992, it hosted Club Fuck!—a weekly event combining fetish cultures, performance art, and industrial/tribal dance music —for a markedly different clientele.

Knowledge Organization. 39(6), 417- 431. 57 references. ABSTRACT: The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that the mechanisms of power around classifications of gender and sexuality are not always top-down or bottom-up. Instead, the weight of social discipline among members of sexual subcultures themselves helps to create these classifications, often reflecting the nomenclature of subjects and desires within sexual subcultures in a complex relationship to a dominant culture. Critically examining two benchmarks in the development of sexual nomenclature within queer subcultures, this paper finds its evidence in George Chauncey’s little known analysis (1985) of a navy investigation of male homosexuality at the Newport Naval Training Station during the World War I era and in contemporary folksonomic classifi- cations of representations of queer desire within Xtube, a database of online pornography.
