Victim of near-fatal sex play at bondage club doesn't remember incident
NY Daily News ^ | 2-12-08 | KERRY BURKE, MELISSA GRACE and ALISON GENDAR

A retired math teacher from Quebec survived near-fatal sex play at a midtown bondage club but couldn't tell investigators how he was injured, law enforcement sources said Monday.

The 64-year-old thrill-seeker had been found turning blue, hanging in a dungeon room at the Nutcracker Suite on E. 33rd St. Friday morning.

Dressed in a dog collar and a pair of women's high heel shoes, the victim had paid staff at the upscale S&M club $100 an hour to check on him every hour.

"He comes down to visit once in a while," his unsuspecting wife said when reached in Quebec.

The Daily News is withholding the victim's name.

She said she had been told her husband had been found "unconscious on one of the streets."

She described her husband as a retired math teacher who didn't drink or go to nightclubs.

"I thought New York was safe," she said.

The retiree was discovered by club staff about 1:30 a.m. and taken to St. Vincent's Hospital Manhattan.

Doctors removed the breathing tube Monday, but the victim said he didn't remember anything, sources said.

Police were investigating whether club employees could face negligence charges.

Neighbors of the upscale pain club said its clients often knocked on the wrong door looking for the party.

"A steady stream of bankers, lawyers, doctors, going to the ninth floor," said Janet Benshoof, president of the Global Justice Center on the 12th floor. "It was like Guantanamo for sexual deviants. It was Abu Ghraib in Manhattan, but for pleasure."

Target the entrenched political and cultural norms that perpetuate male dominated decision-making bodies and constrain women;

I've just got this crazy, wild-eyed idea that they're probably not going after the Mad Mullahs of Jihadistan.

Yeah, note the irony.

She speaks of “torture” while knowing full well it’s taking place in her own building.

"In Boston a few years back a guy had a heart attack while tied up."

I have to have a little sympathy for the guy though. Yesterday at my wife's workplace, a friend of hers had a heart attack. It was complicated because the woman had a tear in an artery. Had she been at home she would not have survived. I believe she had surgery yesterday but I haven't heard anymore since then.

I’m beginning to doubt Darwin’s theories when it comes to the human race. The worlds population of morons and self destructive idiots seems to be increasing.

How much of that is more available information? Back in the old days you only heard about what your village's idiot did. Now you can hear about every village's idiot 24/7.

Victim? I didn't read anything about a crime or a victim in that. I read about a guy who voluntarily undertook a dangerous pleasure and was injured. Possibly there was negligence or in a Law and Order Twist we will some Canadian hating S&Mer who did this on purpose and then maybe we would have a victim.

Canadians coming to America to employ Americans to do what Canadians won’t do. Or something like that.

Canada's National Bondage System had a 36 week waiting list for a simple spanking. Sure it's free, but who wants to wait that long if you are desperate.

And I'm surprised that no one has said PALOMINO yet (SNL reference).

It sounds like both places may have had Nutcracker suites.

I can’t believe people didn’t get the NANCY PELOSI/SNL “palamino” reference:

Good evening, I’m Nancy Pelosi. For the past 18 years, I’ve been a member of Congress from the 18th District of California, proudly representing the citizens of San Francisco. As of this January, however, I will, in a sense, represent all Americans, when I am sworn in as Speaker of the House.

Despite the efforts of this administration to frighten the American public about the Democratic party, and it’s alleged “San Francisco values,” last Tuesday, you went to the polls in record numbers, and you sent this White House a message

that “Stay the course in Iraq” is not a plan;

that our health care system should serve ordinary citizens, not pharmaceutical companies;

that so-called rough sex can be a necessary and fulfilling adjunct to [inaudible], particularly when it involves fantasy role-playing scenarios, such as kidnapping or forced interrogation, providing of course that all participants are willing and disease-free, and have agreed on what we call a “safe word,” for example, “palomino”;

that an increase in the minimum wage is long overdue;

and, finally, that U.S. citizens do not surrender their constitutional rights the moment they engage in multiple partners and group sex, providing, once again, that all participants are willing, at least twelve years of age, and no peanuts or peanut products are used.

We Americans have always been a religious people, a member of my staff tells me, and whatever you have heard, the Democratic Party is not anti-religion, whether you’re a wiccan priestess, a druid, a tantric Buddhist, a servent of Moloch, the Lord of Fire, Presbyterian, or member of the cult of Kali, your faith will be respected, so long as no animals are harmed during your ceremonies, except, of course, gerbils.

And when the new, Democratic majority convenes in January, it will truly be a Congress as diverse as the nation it serves: sharing the Judiciary committee, John Conyers [a picture of the African-American congressman is shown]. At Ways and Means, Charles Rangel [a picture of the African-American congressman is shown]. At Homeland Security, Benny Thompson [a picture of the African-American congressman is shown]. At Government Reform, Ernesto Guevera, Jr. [the two-toned icon of Che is shown], at agriculture, this naked hippy [a guy sporting a guitar, thumbs-up, and very long, ratty hair], and his old lady [a very young hippy woman]. At Small Business, yet another black dude. At finance, the drummer from Rage Against the Machine. And at Intelligence, Al Qaeda Number Two man, Khallid Al-Zawahari. Truly, a Congress that looks like America.

[A man dressed in gay, leather, sex-fetish clothes come over]: Nancy, you need to OK this.

[Nancy, to audience]: Excuse me. [To man]: Dean, I’m kinda in the middle of something.

Man: I’ll come back.

Nancy: Dean, and about your outfit, it’s alright now, but as of January, you may have to go with more of a business look for in the office.

Man: Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t know.

Nancy: No, no, it’s fine for now, but for after the transition…

Man: Sure, no problem.

Nancy: Who’s your friend?

Man: This is my slave; his name is Phil. He’s a human ashtray.

Nancy: Dean, this office is non-smoking.

Man: Just pot.

Nancy: Oh, OK. [To Phil}: How do you do?

Phil [unable to speak because of a horrid device shoved in his mouth]: Iff rear horror to reef roo. Rurarurashur ah reruming rea-rer.

Nancy: Thank you, I appreciate it. Dean, I better get back to…

Man: Oh, absolutely.

Nancy [back to audience]: With your votes last Tuesday, you have offered us your trust. I promise you, we will not betray you.

[Wretched noise like a drill from offstage, also offstage, Man shouts]: Palomino! Palamino!

Nancy [to offstage]: Palamino!

I cannot even imagine how one begins to explain that to the normal people that you know.
