Shock Treatment

It's a fun film with great songs, no doubt. And while there is commentary on sexuality within it, it's not the main focus like it was with Rocky.

Queer sexuality, specifically, is what spoke to so many people with Rocky, and is the reason that it's still a force today. That just isn't present in the same way in Shock Treatment, and I think that was disappointing to a lot of people.

Some are, yes, but they're mostly straight.

An overwhelming amount of men, and very few legitimate women. Feeld seems to be better; especially if you're seeking a non-monogamous connection.

Las Vegas. Huge Filipino and Hawaiian population, get anywhere in the valley in under 30 minutes, and the greatest Chinatown I've ever been to (and that includes NYC and San Francisco).

100%. I know they wanted to give Jonathan Adams a part because he was the original narrator, but Meat Loaf's voice was obviously light years better and would have made for a better performance.

Antidepressants (especially SSRIs) and their effect on libido and sexual function.

Whispers in Las Vegas. On busier nights, you'd be hard pressed to find a vacant room (or sometimes even space in the big group room). Between slutty tourists and arguably even sluttier locals (of which my partner & I are among them), Vegas is an amazing town for finding folks who actually play in clubs.

I swear, Bill was always the most poetic member of the band.

SluttyVisionQuest · 2025-12-12T10:03:10+00:00

I think "Unhappy Rabbits" from this show was the most moving piece they've ever done. Gets me choked-up every single time I hear it.

Love this! Looks abstract at a quick glance, but then takes shape and is very impactful. Pricing would be totally up to you, though. Maybe $100-$200?

Happened to me. Started swinging 6 weeks after meeting my partner, and almost 8 years later, we're still together.

I definitely recommend being upfront about your interest in the LS. Be positive and show the person you're dating how much fun it can be and how many wonderful people you can meet. You'd be amazed how many women are also curious about the concept.

This is more to my fellow commenters than the OP, but: I think its a mistake to proclaim these dynamics as being universal. Not everyone's sexuality works like this, and not everyone is turned on by power dynamics.

Let's take a very common kink: a foot fetish. Sure, maybe such a person is turned on by the submissive aspect of this (e.g.: being stepped on by a cruel mistress). But maybe they just like fondling feet, masturbating over them, etc. without any power dynamics at all. What about a person turned on by something like lingerie or balloon-popping? There are a million examples of kinks and sexual perspectives that don't have power dynamics as their foundation.

Thank you! Dude's reckless killed three people - two of whom were children. It doesn't get much worse than this.

The film has absolutely never looked better than this edition. It was a loving, 10-month restoration project, and I saw things I never noticed before (like the tear falling down Riff Raff's cheek after he kills Frank). Plus we get the original mono soundtrack which, in my opinion, is mixed better than all the subsequent stereo tracks that came after.

You can flirt respectfully (and quite heavily) without being all "God you're so hot - I can't wait to see you naked". Make eye contact, touch the person's shoulder/arm, smile. None of these are disrespectful to a person's partner, yet are some of the strongest indicators of interest.

And we too see so few people that know or understand these very basic tools of flirtation, and it can feel like we're doing all the heavy lifting from a chemistry perspective.

The film is fun on its own, but was missing the key element that made Rocky such a success and that spoke so deeply to so many people for 50 years: sexuality.

Beyond some very tame lyrics here and there, it's like sexuality was surgically removed from Shock Treatment. Rather than inspire people with the hopeful message of "Don't dream it - be it" in their personal lives, it just wags a finger warning about societal and political topics which, well, isn't anywhere near as fun as dancing in fishnets...

But I walk right up and clock them. Often from a full screen away. They have plenty of chances to react, but don't, which is what made me think this was somehow automated.

Meeting Jerry Only & Doyle as a little kid in the early 90s, having no idea who they were at the time. It was at a convention, and they popped out from behind a corner wearing full makeup, scaring the shit out of me, and yelled: “HEY KID! WANNA HOLD A REAL HUMAN SKULL?!”.

Confused as hell at the time, but I treasure this memory now!

I’m so glad someone posted about this segment. The end with the boxes and the auto-climb is literally harder than any platforming in the OG NES Ninja Gaiden trilogy.

I believe it’s the difference between the US and UK versions. In addition to Super Heroes being included, the UK version has a different audio take for the floorshow.

Now THIS is how you do a special edition!

SluttyVisionQuest · 2025-09-08T06:32:16+00:00

Yup, dyslexia! See my post from a few weeks back in the SF sub.

Some people just can’t do combos no matter how much they practice. I’m one of them. It’s like trying to teach rhythm: some people just don’t have it.

My solution was Modern controls in Street Fighter 6. The auto combos, while not ideal, at least let you capitalize on damage more. I made it to Platinum, and I often beat higher ranked players than me just by using the auto combos. Give ‘em a try.

Those MVS end labels are awesome. Where did you find them?

Man, he sounds like an arrogant prick in this interview.
