¶ What the doctor ordered Getting vaccinated should be a no-brainer; unfortunately, we seem to be surrounded by people with no brains. Harsh? Maybe. But when medical personnel who work directly with or are in close proximity to immunosuppressed people, children and the elderly won’t get vaccinated, we think justified. The open letter below, from 57 groups representing millions of health-care workers, calls for mandatory COVID vaccinations of all U.S. health personnel as new infections mount sharply. Due to the recent COVID-19 surge and the availability of safe and effective vaccines, our health care organizations and societies advocate that all health care and long-term care employers require their workers to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. This is the logical fulfillment of the ethical commitment of all health care workers to put patients as well as residents of long-term care facilities first and take all steps necessary to ensure their health and well-being. Because of highly contagious variants, including the Delta variant, and significant numbers of unvaccinated people, COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths are once again rising throughout the United States. Vaccination is the primary way to put the pandemic behind us and avoid the return of stringent public health measures. Unfortunately, many health care and long-term care personnel remain unvaccinated. As we move towards full FDA approval of the currently available vaccines, all health care workers should get vaccinated for their own health, and to protect their colleagues, families, residents of long-term care facilities and patients. This is especially necessary to protect those who are vulnerable, including unvaccinated children ‘RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!’

and the immunocompromised. Indeed, this is why many health care and long-term care organizations already require vaccinations for influenza, hepatitis B, and pertussis. We call for all health care and long-term care employers to require their employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19. We stand with the growing number of experts and institutions that support the requirement for universal vaccination of health workers. While we recognize some workers cannot be vaccinated because of identified medical reasons and should be exempted from a mandate, they constitute a small minority of all workers. Employers should consider any applicable state laws on a caseby-case basis. Existing COVID-19 vaccine mandates have proven effective. Simultaneously, we recognize the historical mistrust of health care institutions, including among many in our own health care workforce. We must continue to address workers’ concerns, engage with marginalized populations, and work with trusted messengers to improve vaccine acceptance. As the health care community leads the way in requiring vaccines for our employees, we hope all other employers across the country will follow our lead and implement effective policies to encourage vaccination. The health and safety of U.S. workers, families, communities, and the nation depends on it.

NEW NE WS ¶ Are we sunk?

UNION SUIT

PHOTO OF DAVID WALTON COURTESY LSSC

The Lake-Sumter State College chapter of the United Faculty of Florida union decries the sudden dismissal of a tenured professor and key bargaining member BY ALEX GA LBRAITH

he sudden firing of a longtime co-worker is always jarring. But Lake-Sumter State College faculty see well beyond their own offices when it comes to the recent termination of Dr. David Walton. They see a precedent that could tear up the very foundation of higher ed employment and make union actions little more than a pipe dream. Walton, a tenured anthropology professor who had worked at LSSC for six years, was terminated over email in early June. Walton told Orlando Weekly he was contacted by the college to come in for a meeting via Microsoft Outlook. “I told them I could do a Zoom meeting,” Walton said, noting that he was in Ohio when he received the request. “I also asked whether or not the meaning was disciplinary. They are legally required to tell employees that, so that we can have a union representative with us.” Walton’s answer came in the form of a letter from college president Dr. Stanley Sidor, telling him his contract would not be renewed. It did not specify a reason, though faculty who spoke to Orlando Weekly could venture a guess: Walton was a senior member of the faculty union, who are in the midst of bargaining their first contract with the school. “I see no other logical way to connect the dots to make it make sense,” Walton said. LSSC’s United Faculty of Florida has been recognized by the school following an election. Union chapter president and biology professor Dr. Debra Hicks said that COVID-19 slowed their progress in negotiating a contract with the school but noted they were progressing. Walton was part of a threeperson team that was bargaining on behalf of the union. “We haven’t had any major conflicts,” Hicks told Orlando Weekly. “We have been going to the table in good faith.” Hicks said Walton’s termination came as a shock and took the wind out of the sails of many of their fellow faculty members. “The morale has dropped dramatically,” she said. “If they can dismiss someone with Dr. Walton’s credentials without a reason, then nobody is comfortable about their jobs going forward.” A letter between President Sidor and Vice President of Academic Affairs Dr. Michael Vitale gave some indication as

to the school’s reasoning. It appeared that Vitale and Sidor objected to the number of freshmen orientation classes that Walton was teaching. These classes, dubbed Student Life Skills or SLS courses, teach incoming students how to adjust to college-level expectations. “I discovered that while there were occasions for several faculty to pick up an SLS course to make [a full course] load, one consistently had to do so,” wrote Vitale, also noting that Walton appeared to lack a credential to teach a geography course. “Based on these findings, it is my recommendation that the [tenure] of this faculty member … be terminated.” Both Walton and Hicks pointed out that this was extremely odd. Course loads are assigned and approved by deans at LSSC, they said, with little control given to the staff. “We have nothing to do with the schedule as to what we teach and don’t teach,” said Hicks. UFF leadership called the reasoning for Walton’s termination unprecedented, in a statement about his firing and the union’s actions around it. “Administrative actions such as this is why the United Faculty of Florida continues to grow. Continuing Contract faculty have a legal right to due process,” said United Faculty of Florida President Karen Morian. “I am astounded at Dr. Sidor’s actions, and question the wisdom of a decision which makes a contract with LSSC not worth the paper it’s written on. The business community it partners with, as well as the faculty and students, deserve better.” Walton will receive an administrative hearing, where he’ll be able to argue the facts of his termination in front of a lawyer appointed by the college’s Board of Trustees. While he was wary of making predictions, Walton said his lawyer thinks his case is a “slam dunk.” Vitale and Sidor declined to comment directly, but issued a statement through a college spokesperson. “Lake-Sumter State College and its District Board of Trustees implements its policies and procedures on employment as authorized by Florida Statutes and the Florida Administrative Code,” they wrote. “With respect to this case, Lake-Sumter State College does not comment on pending legal cases.” news@orlandoweekly.com

After making it into the Final Four of a Reddit competition for best county in Florida, Orange County finally sank to the bottom of the sea. The hate-a-thon has raged on for over 60 days on the Florida subreddit, with a county being deleted from the map each day under the guise of being claimed by the ocean. Votes for the next victim were tallied by counting the number of upvotes on suggested counties in the comments of each day’s post. Every post announcing the sinking of one county was also a place to vent spleens about the worst remaining municipalities. Orange County made it to a final four that also included Alachua County, Hillsborough County and Pinellas County, before being sent to a watery grave. Orange County just barely outlived Monroe County (home of the Florida Keys) and Brevard County (home of several exotic ways to get the hell out of Brevard County). With all due respect to The Swamp and Fest, we have a feeling it’s going to come down to the two rival counties on the Bay.

¶ Roasted in the House of Mouse While there’s an entire list of things he claims to be the best at, there are really only two qualifications for being Walt Disney World’s Gaston. You have to be handsome and you have to be quick on your feet. The most arrogant cast member on Earth proved to be both recently, when he roasted a woman who asked him for a date in a TikTok that’s since gone viral. In the clip, uploaded by TikTok user Steph Swift, a woman named Grace Foltz shouts to Gaston that her boyfriend recently broke up with her and asks the strutting muscleman for a date. “Sorry, I’m looking for the most beautiful woman in town,” Gaston responds before walking away with a self-satisfied head waggle. Swift turns the camera back on Foltz, clearly shocked. “Oh my God, did I just get roasted?” she asks. The video has since been viewed 11.5 million times. Foltz uploaded her own video about the aftermath of the viral clip, where she notes that people were calling her “Dollar Store Anna Kendrick.” Foltz has added “not the most beautiful girl in town” to her bio and noted that she’s “still heartbroken but trying to laugh through it.” Whether she meant over her ex or Gaston is unclear.

¶ Cruising for a bruising After a series of stutter-starts, Disney Cruise Line will return to sailing on Monday, Aug. 9. The company shared an announcement to their official parks Twitter account, noting that the Disney Dream would set sail from Port Canaveral in August. While the cruise traffic has been stopped, that terminal has been hard at work updating the area for passengers. As the state of Florida continues to fight CDC orders around cruising, Disney has been working to comply with the restrictions. An initial test sail that was meant to show the line could follow all guidelines had to be postponed after several crew members tested positive for coronavirus. The rescheduled sailing was completed last weekend. The Dream will sail to the Bahamas on three- and four-night cruises. The cruise line backed up the announcement with a video promoting its safety precautions and encouraging guests to get vaccinated. Disney will require COVID-19 tests of all guests who refuse to prove their vaccination status. Guests will be required to wear face masks indoors. — Alex Galbraith

“Don’t you work with old people?”

Amid a “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” more than 40 percent of the nation’s nursing home and long-term health care workers have yet to receive vaccinations, and many simply refuse. Florida, the second lowest-vaccinated state, had a rate of just under 46 percent among its nursing home and long-term care staff. BY J E N N Y D E A M , RYA N G A B R I E L S O N A N D B I A N C A F O R T I S , P R O P U B L I C A

hey are two sisters in two states. Both are dedicated health care professionals who watched in horror as COVID-19 swept through the nation’s nursing homes, killing a staggering number of residents and staff alike. One sister is now vaccinated. The other is not. “Dude. Get vaccinated!” Heidi Lucas texted her sister Ashley in May from her home in Jefferson City, Missouri. “Nope lol,” Ashley Lucas texted back from Orbisonia, Pennsylvania. “Don’t you work with old people?” “Yeah” “What if you killed one of them? Get vaccinated,” Heidi wrote.

either sister is budging as the Delta variant brings a new spike in coronavirus numbers across the nation. Their divide mirrors America’s larger one, where the vaccine to combat COVID-19 is eagerly embraced by some, yet eyed with suspicion and rejected by others. It is the refusal group, including a significant percentage who work in the nation’s nursing homes, that has confounded and alarmed health care officials who are at a loss as to how to sway them. Nursing homes faced a shocking mortality rate during the pandemic. In the U.S., COVID-19 killed more than 133,000 residents and nearly 2,000 staff members between May 31, 2020, and this July 4, according to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reports. The true toll is thought to be even higher as data gathering lagged in the early months of the crisis, health experts say. Working in a nursing home became one of the “most dangerous jobs” in America in 2020, according to an analysis of work-related deaths by Scientific American. Yet seven months after the first vaccines became available to medical professionals, only 59 percent of staff at the nation’s nursing homes and other long-term care facilities are fully or partially vaccinated — with eight states reporting an average rate of less than half, according to CMS data updated last week.

Twenty-three individual facilities had vaccination rates of under 1 percent, the data showed. Staff vaccinations have lagged even as the overall rate for residents climbed to 83 percent, according to the CMS data. The strong vaccination percentage among nursing home residents is credited, in part, to an early campaign to bring the vaccine directly to facilities. That suggests availability is not necessarily the issue behind staff going without. So, what is? The question defies easy answers. Vaccine refusal is regional and often aligns not only with individuals’ political alignment but also with their preferred news sources and which social media they follow. Last week, President Joe Biden took aim at Facebook and other social media giants for failing to police vaccine misinformation that amplifies conspiracy theories and discourages people from getting vaccinated. “They’re killing people,” he said, directly blaming the platforms. On Monday, he recast the accusation to say it was specific individuals posting dangerous information who are culpable. On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell pleaded to “anyone out there willing to listen: Get vaccinated.” While not mentioning skeptics specifically — including those in his own party — the Republican leader urged the unvaccinated to ignore “demonstrably bad advice.” COVID-19 cases are now surging in every state, with new

hospitalizations and deaths almost entirely occurring among the unvaccinated. “This is becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky warned last week during a White House briefing. In May, CMS began requiring weekly reports on vaccinations of residents and staff at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. The emerging data confirms many health care experts’ worst fears, especially for Southern states. Louisiana has the lowest statewide average: Just 44.5 percent of the staff at its long-term care facilities have been at least partially vaccinated, according to CMS data released last week. Florida, the second lowest-vaccinated state, had a rate of just under 46 percent among its nursing home and long-term care staff. Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi and Wyoming all show rates of less than 50 percent, according to the data. Vaccination rates in assisted living facilities are not included in the data. A separate American Association of Retired Persons analysis, released last week, showed that only one in five of the nation’s more than 15,000 nursing homes were able to hit a goal, set by two industry trade groups, of vaccinating 75 percent of their staff by the end of June. While cases in nursing homes have recently slowed, and most of the new COVID-19 infections are among younger people, some experts still worry of a return to darker days. The CDC recently launched an investigation into deaths of residents at several western Colorado senior facilities possibly linked to unvaccinated staff, the Associated Press reported Wednesday. “We need to sound the alarm,” said Susan Reinhard, senior vice president of AARP and director of its Public Policy Institute. “Nursing homes were devastated by COVID-19, and many residents remain highly vulnerable to the virus.” Nationally, more than 89 percent of people 65 or older have received at least partial vaccination, the CDC reported this week. Still, public health experts have warned that even if fully vaccinated, the elderly may be vulnerable to “breakthrough” coronavirus infection because of compromised immune systems and other underlying health problems. In Missouri’s southern region, the overall rate of full vaccination in some rural counties is less than 20 percent, according to state health department and CDC tracking. The latest surge of the delta variant has turned the area into a “tinderbox,” Steven Edwards, CEO of the CoxHealth hospital system in Springfield, recently told reporters. On Thursday, 160 patients were being treated for COVID-19 at CoxHealth, a spokesperson told ProPublica. On May 14, there were 18. Heidi Lucas directs the Missouri Nurses Association. She is pro-vaccine and has been push-

ing hard for nurses to get vaccinated, especially those on the front lines of patient care. Lucas said it is impossible to separate the lack of vaccination among staff from the lack of vaccinations in individual communities. “Nurses are people too,” she said. “They are on social media and are inundated with false information. How do you fight it?” Her sister, Ashley Lucas, lives 900 miles away in Orbisonia, a small town of around 500 people about an hour south of State College. She’s a traveling certified nursing assistant at area nursing homes and chose to skip the vaccine. Her fiancé and her children, ages 12 and 13, are also unvaccinated. “I don’t consider myself an antivaxxer,” she told ProPublica, bristling that some might see her as reckless or ill-informed. Instead, she said her decision was carefully considered. It never made sense to her, she said, that the virus seemed to strike randomly, with some residents getting sick while others did not. She said she is not convinced the vaccine would change the odds. She’s also concerned after hearing that the vaccine could interfere with fertility — a contention that has been deemed false by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization. It all leads her to believe more research is needed into the vaccines’ long-term effects. “This is just a personal choice and I feel it should be a free choice,” she said. “I think it’s been forced on us way too much.” Certified nursing assistants make up the largest group of employees working in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, providing roughly 90 percent of direct patient care. They are typically overworked and underpaid, most earning about $13 per hour and receiving no paid sick leave or other benefits, said Lori Porter, co-founder and CEO of the National Association of Health Care Assistants. Porter said she is not completely surprised by the low vaccination rate. It comes down to trust, she said, both of the vaccines and of facility administrators who now say staff must get vaccinated. Refusal may feel like empowerment. “It’s the first time ever they have had the ball in their court,” Porter said. On March 31, Houston Methodist Hospital mandated that all of its 26,000 employees be vaccinated by June 7 or lose their jobs. Jennifer Bridges, a nurse, sued along with 116 other employees, claiming the health care system had overstepped its rights and that she and the others refused to be “human guinea pigs,” evoking the Nuremberg Code, a set of ethical standards established in response to Nazi medical experimentation in concentration camps. On June 12, U.S. District Judge Lynn N. Hughes dismissed the closely watched case, taking offense to likening the vaccine to the Holocaust, which he called “reprehensible.” Ten days later, 153 Houston Methodist employees either were fired or quit after refusing the vaccine. The judge’s ruling has been appealed. A handful of long-term care chains have similarly sought to mandate worker vaccines, but such action

is far from widespread in the industry. One sticking point has been whether vaccination can legally be required, since all three available vaccines have only emergency use authorization, not full approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The thornier issue, though, is whether the facilities can risk losing staff when they’re already short-handed. Many workers have vowed to quit rather than be forced into vaccinations. Aegis Living, a long-term senior care provider in three Western states, made vaccines mandatory for its roughly 2,600 employees on July 1. Dwayne Clark, founder and CEO, said initially 400 employees refused but when the deadline arrived, only about 100 left rather than be vaccinated. “We lost some staff that we didn’t want to lose,” Clark told ProPublica, “but it felt like the right moral protocol to impose.” Recently the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued guidelines stating that employers can require workers to be vaccinated as long as medical or religious exemptions are permitted. “Nursing home workers certainly have the right to make decisions about their own health and welfare, but they don’t have the right to place vulnerable residents at risk,” said Lawrence Gostin, a health law professor at Georgetown University. “Nursing homes don’t just have the power to require vaccinations, they have the duty.” Still, the issue is far from resolved. “America is a highly litigious country,” Gostin said, “I expect the courts to consistently uphold nursing home mandates, because they are entirely lawful and justified. But there will likely be lawsuits at least until it is quite clear they are futile.” Diane Peters is a registered nurse in the Chicago suburbs who last year worked at a nursing home and is now working at a senior rehabilitation center. She does not trust the science behind the vaccine and is unvaccinated. So is her fiancé. Everything about the rollout felt like propaganda, she said. Development was too rushed. Clinical trials typically take years, she said, not months. “I don’t think it’s safe right now, it needs more time,” she said she tells patients if they ask. Most don’t, she said. Neither do her co-workers. She has only been asked once by her employer if she was vaccinated, she said, declining to name the company. Peters guesses about 40 percent of her colleagues are also unvaccinated, but said no one likes to talk about it because the divide surrounding the vaccine is “surreal.” Staff members are tested regularly and are required to wear masks, she said. She is doubtful mandates would stick. “They can threaten,” she said, “but a lot of nurses would walk.” She trusts her instincts and her own research for now. When asked what would change her mind, she had one word: “Nothing.” This story was originally published by ProPublica.

KEVIN MCCARTHY ILLUSTRATION BY DON KEYHOTEY

SEND IN THE CLOWNS

Kevin McCarthy named notorious chaos agents Jim Jordan and Jim Banks to the Jan. 6 committee because he wanted it to be a circus BY JEFFREY C. BILL M A N

Chris Cillizza, CNN’s purveyor of what

conventional wisdom might look like on quaaludes, last Wednesday opined on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to seat pro-Big Lie Reps. Jim Jordan and Jim Banks on the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. “Her decision to reject Jordan and Banks, the two most high-profile Republicans put forward by [House Minority Leader Kevin] McCarthy, dooms even the possibility of the committee being perceived as bipartisan or its eventual findings being seen as independent,” Cillizza wrote. By Thursday, this limp take became a narrative. Politico’s Playbook went with the never-heard-of-Benghazi headline “PARTISAN OVERSIGHT HITS A NEW LOW.” A Playbook reporter followed up with a tweet calling Pelosi’s move “a gift to Kevin McCarthy.” “He wanted this panel to look partisan and political,” Rachael Bade said. “Now it’s definitely going to look partisan and political.” The actual gift to McCarthy is some reporters’ emphasis on what the thing looks like rather than what it is — the theater, not the substance. By critiquing the theater — analyzing politics in terms of point-scoring rather than truth-telling — journalists can maintain the facade of objectivity, the prime directive of respectable media.

Critiquing the substance would require pointing out that Kevin McCarthy is full of shit. After the riot, McCarthy blasted Donald Trump for not “denouncing the mob when saw what was unfolding” when he thought the party had turned against the president, then raced down to Mar-a-Lago to prostrate himself before his once and future master when he figured out he was wrong. For the cherry on his humiliation sundae, he then tried to rewrite history, saying Trump had no idea the riot was taking place. McCarthy was never going to support an investigation. Not when a majority of his party still believes the Big Lie. Not when the Big Liar could end McCarthy’s ambition to be Speaker with a single line at a MAGA rally. Along with the majority of his caucus, he voted against a bicameral, bipartisan commission that gave Republicans equal representation and veto power over subpoenas. The commission ultimately fell victim to a Republican filibuster in the Senate. Plan B was the select committee. McCarthy wanted it to be a circus, so he sent in the clowns. Jordan and Banks were intended as chaos agents. Both had voted to overturn the election. Both are election truthers. Jordan — whom former Speaker John Boehner called a “political terrorist” — is a potential witness, since he spoke to Trump the day of the riot and continues to be

a confidant. Right after his appointment, Banks announced that he wanted to investigate the Biden administration’s response to the Jan. 6 attacks, though the Biden administration didn’t exist until Jan. 20. It would have been malpractice for Pelosi not to boot them. McCarthy could have replaced them with more reasonable Republicans. Instead, he withdrew all five of his selections and declared the committee a partisan witch hunt. The political theater critics decided he had a point. Even as theater criticism, this isn’t a particularly sharp take. The committee’s report was always going to be produced by Democrats and Rep. Liz Cheney, one of the few Republicans bothered by the encroaching threat to democracy. (She’s since been joined on the committee by Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who’s also lost standing in the GOP for opposing Trump’s fraud claims.) McCarthy was always going to call the findings political. Nothing about that has changed. But now the committee can subpoena what and who it wants without superfluous objections, interrogate witnesses without performative interference, and produce findings without a gaslighting dissent. And it won’t have to worry about Jordan and Banks leaking like sieves and spying for Trump. In other words, the committee won’t descend into partisan food fights. Which you would think is a good thing — unless you buy what McCarthy’s selling. What McCarthy understands — and what Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has used to great effect — is that among the Beltway’s narrative setters, the only acceptable bias is bipartisanship, so anything viewed as “partisan” will be covered skeptically no matter its merit. If Republicans deny Democrats votes, the story will become a “left-wing agenda” that doesn’t “reach across the aisle,” not their reflexive obstruction. They’ve set an obvious trap, and bothsidesism keeps political journalists walking into it like cattle into an abattoir. The point isn’t that Democrats are above reproach, either in strategy or motivation. Far from it. It’s recognizing the uncomfortable reality of our political moment: A major party has become ideologically radicalized and increasingly anti-democratic. To quote Maya Angelou, “When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.” They’ve shown us who they are — McCarthy, McConnell, every Republican who voted to overturn the election results, who used Trump’s conspiratorial ramblings as an excuse to trample voting rights, who downplayed the pandemic or turned the vaccine into another culture-war front, who lavished tax cuts on the rich but now demands austerity for the poor. As negotiations over a bipartisan infrastructure deal drag on, with Senate Republicans extracting concession after concession; as McConnell threatens to filibuster a debtceiling increase, potentially tanking the global economy; as McCarthy sows seeds of illegitimacy before the Jan. 6 committee holds its first hearing, we’d better believe them.

The Vanguard Friday, July 23

his picture doesn’t quite do justice to the heights of audience madness during Shaquille O’Neal’s appearance at downtown Orlando’s Vanguard Live over the weekend — but it comes pretty close. Shaq — ahem, DJ Diesel — was “outstanding” on the decks, and kept the crowd beyond hyped.

With Orlando’s attractions return-

ing to full operating capacity, Walt Disney World recently announced the return of live entertainment across its theme parks. But absent from the list of resurrected productions were any of the Mouse’s resort hotel dinner shows, including the legendary HoopDee-Doo Musical Revue. Fortunately for both guests who enjoy supping their way through a show and the actors employed to entertain them while they eat, other independent venues like Medieval Times and Sleuths Mystery Dinner Shows have managed to keep the lights on. Now you can add a new, yet somewhat familiar, entry to that list. During my visit to California earlier this month, I drove down Buena Park’s Beach Boulevard — the Anaheim-area equivalent of International Drive — and spotted a sign outside the Pirates Dinner Adventure advertising “Teatro Martini.” If that name rings a bell, it’s because Pirates’ sister location on Orlando’s Carrier Drive debuted its own staging of this musical comedy cabaret shortly before COVID-19 closed everything down. Today, Teatro Martini is back in business with what’s being billed as a new show, which I was invited to attend during its recent reopening weekend. It had been several years since I’d visited the Pirates Dinner Adventure complex, and I’m sorry to say the attraction doesn’t make a positive first impression. After an untrained employee attempted to point us through the trash-strewn parking lot (which they charge $8 to use), a sloppily hand-painted sign led us past a stagnant fountain and pile of discarded clothing to a seemingly abandoned alleyway. Happily, the experience improved immediately upon entering the building, as we were welcomed into an opulent Prohibition-era lounge for a quick souvenir snapshot with a friendly photographer, then ushered through a “hidden” passageway into the main performance space. Once inside, I instantly recognized Teatro Martini’s newly redecorated venue as the former home of Treasure Tavern — which I reviewed exactly 11 years ago — despite the room being stripped of much of its quirky

Adventurers Club-inspired knickknacks in favor of generically gaudy speakeasy-meetsbordello decor. Heavy red curtains and flat-screen televisions frame the stage along one side of the long room, and a well-stocked bar dominates the opposite wall, with booths for seated patrons in between bathed in colorfully illuminated atmospheric haze. Location isn’t the only link between Teatro Martini and Treasure Tavern; both feature a burlesque mistress of ceremonies (now called “Madame Talia,” played by Madeline Regier) and her dancing “Jewels” (Amanda Sullivan, April Lorenzi, Ashton Antinazi, Sarah Joyner), hosting an adults-only vaudeville show while attempting to wrangle three slapstick stooges. The earlier production was written and performed by Todd Ferren, who led an opening cast that included Ed Budd, Ali Flores and Heather Leonardi. This renamed incarnation is credited to California director Alexander Makardish, with rewrites by Christina Riba and Nick Kroger. Kroger, who directs the Orlando production, also plays the comic trio’s leader, “Rob,” a role created in Buena Park by Orlando expat Tony Robinette. A veteran of the now-closed Holy Land Experience, Kroger demonstrates his versatility by pivoting to outrageous adult-oriented improvisation, eliciting laughs as much with his Buster Poindexter hairdo and Eugene Levybeating eyebrows as the cutting quips he lands with a Paul Lynde-ian quaver. Kroger is ably matched in moronic mirth by Yan Diaz as “Jeff,” his ethnically ambiguous assistant, and Sissy Quaranta’s “Jinx,” who inverts the usual innocent ingenue archetype by being bawdier than the boys; this kind of character is like nails on a chalkboard to me regardless of gender, but Quaranta goes for the grossout gags with gusto. This threesome powers Teatro Martini’s paper-thin plotline about Jinx’s quest to join the Jewels — and also lead embarrassing audience participation segments that made this ex-Rocky Horror emcee squirm — but the soul of any variety cabaret is its specialty acts. Although advertised as a Las Vegas-level production, Teatro Martini’s lineup seems more

suited for the Ed Sullivan Show of a half-century ago. Athletic adagio lifts and lyrical pole dancing by Benji Aleksandrova & Nicolas Vleeshouwers; Anna Jack’s high-speed hula hooping; and plate-and-cup juggling from Maks Annaev are among the evening’s highlights. All the artists are entertaining enough, but none are anywhere near as innovative or memorable as the Russian quick-change artists once featured in Treasure Tavern, and the initially tight pacing turns plodding before the 90-minute show ends. You may have noticed that I’ve failed to pay attention to the dinner part of this dinner show, but I fear the kitchen has as well. I passed on the optional baskets of deepfried appetizers and exchanged my wilted salad with spongy croutons for a lukewarm bowl of tomato soup. The best part of my stringy quarter-chicken entree was the gravy, which helped enliven the limp veggies; the pesto pasta option was only slightly better. Curiously, meal service was completed before the main performance even started, instead of the courses being integrated into the show structure like at every other dinner theater. Kroger and marketing director Skyler Rankin said they didn’t want audiences distracted by eating during the entertainment, but they don’t seem to mind interrupting the act by soliciting surveys and advertising drink specials. Speaking of drinks, I sampled six of their eye-catching signature martinis, and all except the Amber Rose and Teatro were undrinkable. While it might not be my cup of bathtub gin, there’s a ton of talent on the Teatro Martini stage, which I hope the Pirates management can hold onto in the long term, given their track record of conflict with creative cast members. Meanwhile, the adjoining Jewel dueling piano bar — with its decadent atmosphere and $10 cover charge for patrons not attending the dinner show — could turn out to be the complex’s real sleeper hit. For now, I’m going to leave Teatro Martini to the Villages-dwelling Boomers and drunken bachelorettes to whom it’s aimed, but you might just find me imbibing next door. skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

HANGER MANAGEMENT The family-style Filipino comfort fare at Hangry Dobo feeds body and soul BY HOLLY V. KAPHERR

ome part of me feels like the amount of food you’re served in the two-entree combo at the UCF-area Hangry Dobo is intended to keep the college student population from resorting to the nutritional void that is pizza rolls and Hot Pockets. The other part of me feels like it’s just damn good food and you’re going to want a lot of it. You’ll feel the love as soon as you enter the restaurant, nestled in the Collegiate Way plaza at the corner of University Boulevard and Alafaya Trail. A smiling face and warm welcome await from behind the cafeteria-style steam table, laden with up to 10 rotating Filipino delicacies waiting to be served with rice or pancit — the ubiquitous rice noodles tossed with cabbage, carrot and seasoned with soy sauce. If you’re kano — the shortened version of the Tagalog slang word Amerikano — you’ll likely be asked if you’ve eaten Filipino food before. I’ll encourage you to say “no,” even if you’re familiar-ish with the cuisine, as I am. You’ll enjoy hearing the broad survey of each dish, from the garlicky chicken adobo to the crispy deep-fried pork belly known as lechon kawali. A little nervous about trying the pork shoulder stewed with serrano chilies and thickened with pork blood called dinuguan? Just ask for a little taste before committing. Samples are given with pleasure. The $13 combo is the best way to sample two entrees plus your choice of rice or pancit. Visit with a few friends and you’ll get a survey of each offering pretty quickly. Restaurants where I could, theoretically, try the entire

menu in one visit are a passion of mine. The combo portion is more than generous (see previous note about potentially malnourished college students) and is pre-emptively served in to-go containers. They know you’ll want to tote the remainder home for later. When I visited the cozy shop — the whole place seats no more than 30 patrons — I opted for the chicken adobo (how could I not?) and the dinuguan with rice, while my dining companion chose the chicken curry and chicken kare-kare, a rich, creamy peanut-based stew coating tender chicken thighs and green beans. Though the dishes are displayed behind glass in a bare-bones manner, there’s an element of ceremony and reverence in the way the staff spoons selections into the Styrofoam container. They take care to ensure there’s something delicious in every portion and that the ingredients are evenly represented in each serving: a bit of softened garlic, a few deep-green beans, an al dente carrot slice, a charred chili pepper. Hangry Dobo’s chicken adobo, the Philippines’ national dish, is worthy of the high place it occupies in the cuisine. It’s lacquered with sweet-tangy brown sauce, studded with minced garlic. The slow-simmering leaves the chicken fallapart tender, easily broken down with the plastic utensils the restaurant gives its guests. The cane vinegar that perks up Hangry Dobo’s dinuguan, or, as it’s colloquially called, “chocolate meat,” is what will keep you going back for forkful after forkful. If it’s available when you visit, don’t miss it.

You won’t catch a hint of that minerality that cooked blood usually imparts. Chili heads should ask for some extra serranos in their dinuguan, which impart a pleasantly vegetal flavor to the stew without adding too much heat. The chicken curry was a favorite at the table; the sweet coconut-milk sauce, amped up with fish sauce and loads of garlic, enrobed succulent chicken thighs, velvety potatoes, carrots and sweet bell pepper slices. We also devoured the chicken kare-kare with abandon. What magical incantations were used to keep the green beans so pleasantly verdant and crisp-tender and allowed the Japanese eggplant to maintain its texture and shape even in a steam table, I surely don’t know, but I was into it. I visited on a weekday, so the special crab curry wasn’t on the menu, but I’ll be back for it. For dessert, we couldn’t pass up the halo-halo ($8). While the heat index soared to 105 outside, we stayed cool and refreshed by dunking our long-handled spoons into the shaved ice dessert and stirring up the goodies from bottom to top: sweet beans and corn kernels, purple ube sweet potato and diced steamed pumpkin with coconut milk. Heaven. We also enjoyed the dense, fudge-like, amethyst-hued ube cake, which left us wondering if we could ever go back to plain brownies ever again. College students from UCF, Valencia and Florida Technical College should show their student ID for a 10 percent discount on a meal that’s perfect to stretch dollars through the week. And while the dollars and cents of the eating equation makes sense, it’s the gracious spirit and care that goes into the food at Hangry Dobo that makes you feel like what you experience there is more than just lunch or dinner. Eating at Hangry Dobo feels like a long, warm, delightful hug.

DREAMS LESS SWEET

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE BAND

Orlando punks Vicious Dreams released a new record last year. Now, finally, they get to play the songs live BY MATTHEW MOYER

he story of the album Vicious Dreams by Orlando punk trio Vicious Dreams has, like many albums with the unfortunate distinction of being released in 2020, been one of bittersweet highs and lows. The band — Amanda Little (guitar/vocals), James Moudy (bass/vocals), Andrew Cabbage (drums) — finally had a fulllength album under their studded belts after a series of 7” and cassette releases, and it’s an impressive debut. Visually and sonically, it’s the best summation of the band so far. The spooky artwork, an EC Comics-esque tableau of the Grim Reaper holding open an unfortunate’s eyes towards a television set, rendered by Moudy, was in perfect alignment with the Halloween release date. The sound, on the other hand, is raw and furious, primal yet played with Ramones-y (an admitted influence) precision. The three recorded the songs with Josh Dobbs at his Danger Room Studios in 2019 and it was time well-spent. “The music was a little simpler. A little faster,” says Cabbage. “We just had fun with it.” Vicious Dreams was unleashed on the world on the trifecta of physical formats — vinyl, CD and cassette — by a cadre of labels from around the world like Brassneck Records, GC Records, No Time Records, Snubbed Records and Swamp Cabbage Records (the local imprint run by drummer Cabbage since 2009). Vicious Dreams is the kind of record that’s meant to be heard live, in a sweaty dive bar or DIY space. But there

would be no shows, no nothing for the band last year. “We only started practicing a couple months ago, tops. We didn’t see each other for a very long time,” says Cabbage. The best the band could do promo-wise for an album released in the middle of a pandemic shutdown was release the music video for “Bumper Cars,” which, personally speaking, reminded us of what the alien concept of “fun” was last year. The clip, filmed guerrilla-style by Giovanni Ruiz, showed the band taking in the sights of the fair circa February 2020, being tossed around by thrill rides, all smiles and close proximity. “We were just like, ‘How can we make this fun so that it’s not going to feel daunting for us to shoot a music video?’ So we invited our friend Giovanni to the fair with us and we’re like, ‘Hey can you take videos of us while we’re on rides at the fair and having a good time?’” remembers Little. This weekend their long period of inactivity ends, as Vicious Dreams (the band) holds a belated album release show for Vicious Dreams (the album) in the familiar stomping grounds of Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall with local troublemakers both familiar — Wet Nurse — and newer — Dougie Flesh & the Slashers — along for the ride. It’s a chance to say hello to friends after a long absence and have a proper celebration. “Once we were all vaccinated, we started practicing again, and then when we felt like we were getting comfort-

able, we were like, ‘OK, now’s the time to book a release show,’” says Cabbage. “I have been playing shows with Wet Nurse since I was in my first band, so they hold a super-sentimental place in my heart. And also my first band played at Uncle Lou’s so many times. It’s a punk staple,” says Little. The band has even stashed aside some copies of the mostly sold-out colored vinyl as a bonus for locals. All editions have been selling much more briskly than the band ever imagined. “Originally, because we couldn’t have any tours lined up, I only pressed 300 copies of the LP. And we’re basically sold out,” says Cabbage. “So, it will be going to a second pressing pretty soon.” Vicious Dreams have been familiar faces on the punk circuit, both locally and nationally, since forming in 2015. Little and Moudy came from Tough Looks and drummer Cabbage was eager to fill in some free time as his other project, Caffiends, were at a temporary loose ends. Originally a quartet, the remaining members decided to continue as a trio when the original guitarist left the band — with Little picking up the guitar. “Andrew and James were really motivated to continue on with the band and we’re all extremely close friends and we didn’t want to lose that. So I was like, ‘I can pick up the guitar and we can try this as a three-piece and see what happens,’” says Little. “Our songs changed a little bit. They got … a little bit more raw, so we were able to write songs that had more of a tough edge for the LP. And once we started writing we just didn’t really stop,” says Little. The band undertook several tours — the East Coast, Midwest, incursions into Puerto Rico and even Canada — not to mention booking shows locally before setting to work in earnest on their full-length. And after that, over a year of stasis. Now things are coming back. (Well, maybe. Or maybe not. The members of Vicious Dreams are realistic about what’s going on with the Delta variant in the state and the country.) So any band planning is all baby steps. “I miss touring,” says Little. “But it’s kind of a waiting game right now.” What you can safely bet on is that the band will soon be heading into the studio to record another full-length. “We’re going to be back in the studio in a couple months and recording our second album,” says Cabbage. “It took awhile to get this record out, so we have another one almost ready to go.” They’ve had plenty of down time to write, with 16 songs written over the last year. So maybe being a recording project isn’t all bad? “We have really gotten to delve deeper into the songwriting, so I’m excited to see how people react to the new songs,” says Little. For now, Vicious Dreams return as a live band. For how long, who can say?

BY B AO L E - H U U MIDAZ THE BEAST AND SHARP | PHOTO BY STELTZZ

LOCAL RELEASES On his way to being a heavy hitter in the Ozone underground, MidaZ the Beast has teamed up with lots of people and shown lots of different manifestations. For his latest release, the five-song #LIVENIGGARAP EP, he once again rolls with Central Florida producer Sharp to cast his bars in dark and moody East Coast hues, a canvas especially tailored for the seasoned gruff and gravel of MidaZ’s flow. More than just beats, MidaZ’s storytelling rhymes are set here in a cinematic soundscape rich in atmosphere with veins of urban blues and jazz. In a current hiphop milieu flooded with basic Soundcloud rap, it’s a particularly substantial listening experience. Besides a nod to Nas in the EP’s title, the original cut “Live Nigga Rap” even riffs on the legend’s song of the same name while still bearing MidaZ’s own lyrical signature. This is classic street heat here. MidaZ the Beast and Sharp’s #LIVENIGGARAP is now streaming everywhere. There are few bigger Jesus and Mary Chain Stans around here than me. I mean, geez, look no further than this column’s title. But one person who gives me a serious run for the title is local noise-droner Danielfuzztone, whom I actually ran into in a bathroom at a JAMC concert all the way up in Atlanta back in 2012. Well, his devotion is now publicly enshrined on the track “Ringing Sound” off his latest two-track single. Although staying true to the Danielfuzztone electro-drone aesthetic, the song is a manifold salute to the brothers Reid. The hook that rises from the din echoes their famous

melodic arc, and the title and song length are lifted straight off “Upside Down.” Check it out along with 13-minute A-side “Take My Meditation” on his Bandcamp.

MUSIC EVENTS THIS WEEK There’s some important, pandemicdelayed local business to catch up on this week. But the Delta variant’s now in full inferno and Florida’s dragging national ass in vaccinations, so if you’re coming out, be smart — if anything, for yourself. Systematic: Earlier this month, the Orlando Girls Rock Camp gave their annual workshop glimpse of the city’s fledgling musical prospects. On Friday, though, this new band comprised of recent OGRC alumnae will make their real scene debut. Systematic will showcase their neo-riot grrrl sound with four originals and two covers. They may be young, but I’ve heard two of their originals and these gals can write. Go see what the near future of the Orlando scene will look like. Sharing the eclectic bill will be dark music para-

gon Alien Witch, experimental act Alaska Empath, groove rockers Little Lazy and Big Tit Mike. (8:30 p.m. Friday, July 30, Grumpy’s, $5) Vicious Dreams, Wet Nurse, Dougie Flesh and the Slashers: After more than five years in the game, Orlando true punk believers Vicious Dreams finally released their first full-length album last Halloween. But, oh shit, the pandemic. Well, now that people are getting back out, the band are finally getting to do a proper record release show. And they’ve got much to celebrate, because that selftitled LP is a strong 14-song salvo that rips rock & roll-powered punk that’s as classic as denim. Supporting will be the superlative Wet Nurse and Dougie Flesh and the Slashers. (8:30 p.m. Saturday, July 31, Uncle Lou’s, free) Tribute to Eddie Foeller: Back in November, our music community lost Eddie Foeller, a beloved figure who’s been around the Orlando scene since the 1980s. Now that vaccinations are widely available, a scene tribute — titled “Somewhere You Feel Free” — has finally come together to honor the man. In addition to headliner the BellTowers, the last band that Foeller played in, there will be live performances by the Tremolords (FKA the Hate Bombs), the Green Today, the Ukulaliens and Little Bill. To make it a proper memorial, there will also be storytelling, which is particularly apt since everybody has a story about Foeller. A portion of the event’s proceeds will go to the Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando. This one’s for you, Eddie. (4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 1, Will’s Pub, $8-$10) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs

Orlando scene mover Timothy Murray brings his solo noise project Auto Chlor back to Uncle Lou’s for the first time in years. “Solo” is a misnomer, though, as Auto Chlor’s latest triplecassette release boasts cameos from the cream of the Orlando (and national) underground. Who knows who will pitch in for this show? Expect costumery that brings to mind the best of Caroliner, projections from Broken Machine Films and an opening set from Snotnoze Salem. 11 p.m., contact organizers for pricing. Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall, 1016 N. Mills Ave.

Please join us in welcoming the newest artist-in-residence at the Maitland arts hub, poet and sound artist LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs. The New York-based writer, performer and sound manipulator has performed around the world, cutting and splicing her poetry through effects and machines and has recorded with giants in the experimental music world. Her urgent verse has been published in many chapbooks as well as the 2013 collection TwERK. In this evening’s lecture, Diggs will introduce her work, past and present, as well as discuss the projects she will undertake during her six-week stay in Maitland. This is pretty big news for AHM, as well as the Orlando arts scene as a whole, so do not miss the chance to hear a bleeding-edge performer talk about her craft. Registration required through Eventbrite. 8 p.m., free. Art & History Museums – Maitland, 221 W. Packwood Ave., Maitland, artandhistory.org

Queer DJ cooperative the Soft Collective finally return to live action following almost a year of quiet, taking over the outdoors Sound Garden space at the Henao Center for a night of fresh new sounds.

Struggle Jennings

scion of country royalty Struggle Jennings, along with Brianna Harness and Caitlynne Curtis, steers his “Troubadour of Troubled Souls Tour” into Mills 50 this weekend. Jennings, the grandson of Jessi Colter, stepgrandson of Waylon Jennings and nephew of Shooter Jennings, doesn’t just coast off his rich musical legacy. He has followed his own distinctive creative path, eschewing straight country for a rootsy take on hip-hop which, along with collaborations with Yelawolf and Jelly Roll, has won him a fair amount of notice and acclaim. 8 p.m., $22-$25.

Vibra Urbana Music Festival

Vibra Urbana debuted last year in Miami and promptly sold out amid incredible fan response. The fest has now branched up to Central Florida this summer to give us a taste of “Florida’s biggest reggaeton festival”; in fact, early demand for tickets led to Vibra Urbana being expanded from one to two days. Latin Grammy nominee and Puerto Rican artist Rauw Alejandro is the big headliner for the fest. Other big names include Myke Towers,

Sweet Jesus, that’s smooth! Saxophonist Koz and a few of his famous friends across genres — Kirk Whalum, Mindi Abair and Vincent Ingala — take their “Summer Horns” tour out into the fresh night air of the Frontyard Festival. It’s the third show of a multi-month trek, so expect them to be fresh as daisies. The Summer Horns group specializes in covers of jazz, funk and even a Jay-Z number reinterpreted through their quartet of wind instruments. “It’s going to be a celebration of epic proportions!” promises Koz. And who are we to dissent? 7:30 p.m., $25-$95. Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● JULY 28-AUG. 3, 2021 ● orlandoweekly.com

“CRABS” I’m a gay man in my 40s and I’ve been married to my husband for nine years. There was some mild infidelity on his part (exchanging photos and flirting via text with another guy) early in our relationship. I confronted him at the time, and he lied to me. I decided to let it go, as it was early in the relationship. Fast-forward a few years and he gets crabs and gives them to me. He told me it was most likely from the volunteer work he does in a homeless shelter. I let it go again. Fast-forward another couple of years and I’m feeling insecure and look on his iPad and find confirmation that he was sleeping with the guy he’d exchanged photos and flirty texts with early in our relationship. This sent me into a severe depression. All my concerns over the years were confirmed, and further sleuthing revealed there was another guy he was fucking around with as well. He admitted to all of this only after I showed him the proof. I chose to forgive and forget. The pain was too much to deal with and I just wanted to move on and get back to our lives. At the time we talked about having an open relationship and I told him I was cool with that, but I wasn’t cool sharing my life with someone who lies to me so easily. We mutually decided that opening the relationship wasn’t a great idea and never really discussed it again. I’m happy I decided to move past this because the last four years have been great. We never fight, our sex life is good, we have a wonderful home and social life. I hadn’t felt the need to sleuth on his devices in years. I felt secure in our relationship. Then two weeks ago I discovered he has crabs (again) after he gave them to me (again). He says he has no idea how he got them. This has obviously brought his history of lying and cheating back to the forefront and I’m questioning so many things. I feel like the only way I’ll ever get the truth is if I find proof, but fuck that. I’m not going back to scouring his phone and devices. If I’m staying, I’m staying. But should I stay? Are all past infidelities moot at this point because we’ve put them behind us? Can this new case of crabs be viewed in isolation? Can people get genital area crab infestations during a non-sensual massage? Or am I the idiot whose husband has been fucking around on him the whole time we’ve been together? Scratching Head And Meat Whether or not you stay depends on what you’re willing to tolerate, SHAM. You were willing to tolerate being married to a guy who had cheated on you in the distant past. Can you tolerate being married to a guy who has most likely cheated on you in the recent past and — given his track record — will probably cheat on you again?

Answer that question, SHAM, and you’ll know what to do. As for the new case of crabs, SHAM, sure, it’s possible your husband got them during a non-sensual massage — if they reuse towels and sheets without washing them, if they don’t disinfect the massage table. I don’t know why anyone would wanna get a massage at a filthy place like that, but maybe your husband isn’t so choosy. But I gotta say … it seems far likelier that your husband, a man who lied to your face the last time he got crabs, is lying to you again. That doesn’t necessarily mean your husband had sex with a body worker. He may have gotten one of those full-bodycontact massages that involve the masseuse stripping off and rubbing his body all over his client’s body — and while I think that kind of massage qualifies as sensual, your husband may feel (and rationalize) differently. So let’s go ahead assume the worst: Your husband never stopped cheating on you. Which means your husband is the same person he’s always been. Maybe he’s one of those guys who really wants to be monogamous and feels terrible every time he fucks around behind your back. Or maybe he’s one of those selfish jerks who doesn’t want an honest open relationship because that would mean giving you the same freedom. Whatever it is, SHAM, he’s unlikely to change. So, what do you do? Leaving him means giving up everything about your marriage that you enjoy — the good sex life, the generally low-conflict intimacy, the home you’ve made together, the social life you share. But if staying makes you feel like an idiot, SHAM, your anger (justified) and resentment (ditto) will eventually ruin what you enjoy about your marriage. To be clear, SHAM, I don’t think staying means you’re an idiot. But you’ll have to make peace with who your husband is if you decide to stay. Not for his sake; for yours. Make peace with it again, I should say, as I don’t think you stopped scouring his iPad and phone for evidence because you didn’t think he was cheating on you. You stopped because you didn’t want to know if he was. If you do stay, SHAM, you might let your husband continue to think he’s risking his marriage when he cheats. That won’t stop him — it hasn’t up to now, right? — but your husband will be less likely to seize every opportunity that comes his way if he thinks he’s risking his marriage. If you don’t hand a DADT card and/or tell him you’ve made peace with his cheating, SHAM, he’ll redouble his efforts to be discreet and continue to be careful to use condoms with other guys so as to avoid exposing you to a more serious STI. (I say “continue to be careful”

because if he’s been cheating on you all this time and only brought crabs home, SHAM, then he was probably being careful, i.e., using condoms, with other guys.) For the record, SHAM, I don’t think this solution is ideal — making peace with who your husband is but not telling him — because I’m a fan of ethical non-monogamy. But you’re never going to get ethical nonmonogamy out of your husband. You’re going to keep getting what you’ve been getting all along. If that’s unacceptable, if you can’t live with that, you should definitely leave. If you can live with that, if you can resume ignoring what you kind of knew all along, you might be able to stay. Good luck. I am on the cusp of starting a sexual relationship with a newly paraplegic man. (We’re both in our late 20s and cis het if that matters.) He hasn’t had any sexual partners since his injury, so he hasn’t had much opportunity to experiment with what works for him now. He’s told me he has no sensation below his belly button. I’m not sure if he’s been able to achieve an erection since becoming paraplegic, but he said he hasn’t been able to orgasm since it happened. I’m hoping that you (or your experts or readers) might have some advice and/or resources for us. I want to make sure that the experience is as satisfying for him as it can be. Sensitive Personal Issues Need Exploration Read the blog post “Keeping the Romance Alive After a Spinal Cord Injury” at spinalcord.com. There are some great insights, SPINE, and lots of useful links. My advice: You want to have a satisfying sexual experience with this guy — his first since his injury — and that’s great. But you’re more likely to have a positive experience if you don’t make it all about his dick. While you shouldn’t ignore his dick, SPINE, you need to go into this encounter —both of you — believing you can have a rewarding and successful sexual experience even if he can’t get hard or climax. And non-PIV sex — or any other kind of sex in the absence of one or more erections — isn’t some sad consolation prize. They’re satisfying sexual experiences for everybody involved and, just as importantly, they’re things he can excel at, right now, erection or no erection. If you want him to come out of his first sexual experience after his injury feeling more confident about his body and his abilities, center mutual pleasure, not his cock. mail@savagelove.net
