Arthur Caplan, one of the world's leading bioethicists, addressed the opening reception of the IHEU-Appignani Bioethics Conference at the Turkish Consulate, United Nations Plaza, NYC, on Friday evening, April 21,2006.

He disclosed that a vaccine for Cervical Cancer would soon become available.  Caplan predicted a great public debate would soon begin.  The vaccine has to be given to young girls or women before they commence sexual activity.  For girls in their early teens, this will raise questions about parental control and informed consent.

The vaccination will cost $200.  Access to the vaccine by women in poorer countries is especially important since Cervical Cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in those areas.

WHEELCHAIR HUSTLER

WHEELCHAIR HUSTLER

Watch the video

This video is so dangerous I might well choose to delete it. Im one of the few people on the face of the Earth who has been, at different times in my life: a hustler, a john & a madam. These were social roles I assumed only out of desperation (at least the hustler & john roles; madam was more of an accident). The details would fill a book. If I ever write a book, Ill not be packaged and sold. Ill probably publish it for free on the Internet. I sold years of my life to business and am now no longer in need of money. There are millions of men like me: men too old to attract mates they desire; men trapped in dysfunctional marriages who resort to prostitutes; men and women trying to survive on the streets who resort to selling their bodies. Been there. Done that. This is, as stated in the closing statement, a video in which any similarity to persons living or dead is accidental. With great acting ability, I pretend to be an old john who has allowed a hustler Ive patronized for twenty years (from ages 18 to 38) to wheelchair his way over to my house to, as they term it, give good service. Id like to think this vlog humanizes both prostitutes and johns. Those are labels we put on real human beings to dehumanize them. Call me a dirty old man. Tell me my lifestyle is disgusting. You might be right but these are choices Ive made in life. Prostitution is meeting another human being under bad circumstances. That doesnt mean a friendship cant develop. What are kept women but prostitutes-under-contract? And what about those trophy wives men like Donald Trump and Imus marry? So here we peek into a fairy tale. Supposedly, an old john (played by me) welcomes an aged hustler (played by a friend) who arrives to give oral service in a wheelchair. They say life is stranger than fiction. But this proves fiction can be stranger than lifeJ. Click on the QUICKTIME button to view. This is short and sweet and only runs a little over three minutes. Please leave feedback.

Jim Wheeler was a gay teenager who committed suicide. His family was traumatized. His Mother launched a personal crusade against bullying in schools, especially bullying directed at gay teenagers like her son. Glen Holsten, a Philadelphia TV News reporter, used Jim Wheeler's suicide to frame a documentary named "Jim In Bold" in memory of Jim Wheeler. "Jim In Bold" explores the social and psychological struggles young gay people face while coming to terms with their sexual orientation in small towns all across America. Susan Wheeler, Jim's Mother, gave a short talk at Equality Forum on May 1,2005. She hopes "Jim In Bold" will save other mothers from losing their children.

WHY WOMEN CHASE TRANS MEN (videobloggingweek2006 Day 4A)

WHY WOMEN CHASE TRANS MEN (videobloggingweek2006 Day 4A)

Watch the video

Hugo, my friend and neighbor, let me interview him last Saturday. Hugo was born a woman, has only had sex with men, and is now taking hormones (after having his female breasts surgically removed) to become the gender male he is. We talked for nearly half an hour. He explained his circumstances. Apparently, biologically-born males can't compete with "trans-men" when it comes to attracting women. Hugo has a unique perspective on this. In the second segment of this interview, Hugo talks about how people reacted when he's chosen to live openly as a transsexual. Being a member of one sex and transitioning to being a member of the other sex is certainly "living dangerously". Click the "Quicktime" button below to view this video. Please leave feedback.

SADOMASOCHISM FOR FUN & PROFIT (videoblogging week 2006)

Watch the video

This is an expanded edition of my interview with a woman who makes sex toys for sadomasochists.

New material includes: her anatomically-correct little stuffed animals; explaining how sadomasochism replaces heterosexuality or homosexuality as one's dominant sexual orientation; observation on "giving and taking power" in S&M relationships; being inspired a domatrix (a woman who dominates/tortures men) who got licensed as a "therapist" in NJ & could avoid the cops while billing insurance companies for "therapy sessions" with submissive clients (If bodies don't touch, it's not prostitution.)

She reflects on Internet censorship and politics today.

My earlier vlog, "Hang Your love on the Bedroom Door", was poorly edited and incomplete. Here we have the entire interview edited only to remove quiet moments and unimportant material. It is one of the "crown jewels" of my "Street Fair Project" which will ultimately become a documentary.

Sit back. Indulge yourself. Enjoy the pain :-)

BEHEADING COMMENTARY (Randy Wicker Reporting videobloggingweek2006 Day 3)

BEHEADING COMMENTARY (Randy Wicker Reporting videobloggingweek2006 Day 3)

Watch the video

This vlog contains graphic and horrible images.

You get to see one of the terrible realities of contemporary life, Islamic Law (Sharia) being enforced. I've seen videos of public beheadings carried out by the Taliban in Afghanistan. They are usually filmed at great distance. The photographer who recorded this beheading gives you "up close" coverage. He went insane a few weeks later.

We live in a world in which the mass media feeds us pabulum instead of hard truth. This vlog is a "real deal". My commentary deals with unvarnished truth.

Bleeding heart liberals and scheming neo-cons talk about "enlightened" Islam. They ignore the realities of Islamic law. Islamic law decrees that thieves get their hands cut off, that women who have sex outside of marriage be executed and that homosexual acts be punished by death.

As a gay man, I watched Iran hang two teenagers for being gay lovers last fall. Dubai , supposedly America's best friend in the Middle East, raided a gay wedding a few weeks ago and sentenced those attending to five years in prison.

Today, in Iraq, anyone suspected of being gay is simply cornered and executed by the Islamic militants. No one hears about that. George Bush only wants to talk about the positive things happening in Iraq.

This is a Videoblogging Week 2006. The theme is supposed to be "vlogging dangerously". Being a liberated woman and/or a known gay man is a death sentence in countries practicing Islamic Law.

I stand with Denmark and lovers of freedom. If they want to hang me or cut my head off, I'm going to fight back.

This is a really dangerous videoblogging. This vlog, a politically incorrect memoir, will either make my reputation or destroy it. Frankly, I've transcended such worries. I've always loved living dangerously. Vlogging dangerously comes naturally to me.
