[BONUS] Giving Tuesday: A Bite-Sized Erotic Thriller by Emerson Dameron

Emerson Dameron Season 4

Giving Tuesday: A Bite-Sized Erotic Thriller by Emerson Dameron is a special bonus edition of Emerson Dameron's Medicated Minutes.

In the realms of the erotic, set against a backdrop of opulence and decadence, Giving Tuesday explores the complexities of human desires, ego, envy, power dynamics, and the complexities of giving and taking.

As the narrative twists and turns through dreamlike sequences, fragmented realities, and the rambling, circuitous monologue of our male lead, prepare to confront your own perceptions of love, intimacy, and the uncharted territories of human connection.

Written, performed, produced, and created by Emerson Dameron, with music by Emerson Dameron.

It's OUT! Sophistication Nation: Brief Interviews with Women I Pretend to Understand: https://emersondameron.hearnow.com/sophistication-nation

Speaker 1:

In Hitchcock's cinematic masterpiece Rear Window, one of his masterpieces the Jimmy Stewart character, who views the world through a telescope from his titular rear window, has to wrestle with his voyeurism. We're all perverts at one stripe or another. Anyone who has a surveillance operation is probably a voyeur. That's why we like to put on a show for them, because it's Giving Tuesday and anyone who's watching a surveillance camera is not only a known pervert by virtue of that fact, but also an authoritarian pervert, be they cops or security guards, whomever, wherever, whatever, we get it on hot and heavy and pound it out for any surveillance camera that we happen to come across, you're watching a surveillance camera. You're getting what you signed up for. We genuinely hope you'll love it because it's Giving Tuesday. That's the spirit of and we are so bad, history's worst monsters. We ate ice cream last night when we were in our slinkets watching old movies on netflix so bad, we could have been doing something productive during that time, but we weren't. Because we don't care, because we love being bad sort of. We think animals are adorable and cute all of them, even the. We still eat meat because we are bad and we're so bad we don't even own it. That's how bad we are. It's so bad it makes me giggle. She'll love it. She'll love being bad. Isn't that our gift to the world? On Giving Tuesday? Let's do it right now. Let's have sex. We've waited long enough. That has nothing to do with Giving Tuesday. It does. You can extrapolate. I want to pin you down and nail you to the center of the earth. When you look at me that way, you can tell that you have a complimentary urge. So let's make this happen. Yeah, I love being seduced. I actually don't want it. You have to talk me into it. You have to convince me. Yeah, I was lying a minute ago. I don't want to have sex unless you can sweeten the deal and make me really enthusiastic about it. Yeah, you are a genius In that regard.

Speaker 1:

We discussed our relationship earlier. We can do that, as long as it's in our love language, just spicy, five-alarm, dirty talk. You're going to give me finesse, as I can tell that I have never experienced. I'm gonna give you goosebumps. The things I whisper in your ear. Let's do it. If you talk me into it, let's not do it. Make me want it. Tease me. You need to be sleazy. Don't make it too easy.

Speaker 1:

And after that romp, we kiss under the mistletoe at your straight-laced work friend's house. Everybody else was out of town. They left LA, as people do for the holidays. But we found some people to hang out with because we need to hang out with other people. Basically, all we ever do is have sex and we want it to get old, have a sounding board and talk about sex positions and other dirty things with other people other couples, people but not these people. They're not gonna be into that, they're gonna be grossed out by it.

Speaker 1:

So just a peck under the mistletoe, give me a kiss, give me Tuesday. Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. I want to have sex with you again right now, and neither one of us can resist. We just finished. That was supposed to solve this problem. You are the gift that keeps on giving. Any day that ends with a Y. We have other dalliances. That strengthens our relationship. That's what we want to believe, which kind of makes it true.

Speaker 1:

I'm sure you're rolling around in my absence. I like to know about that. Just because I like information. I don't get off on it in any way, shape or form. I only get off on sex that involves me and involves me being the single point of focus and being desperately wanted and longed for, and I can usually find that when I'm out of town at non-profit conventions, giving Tuesday is a huge day for non-profits. We usually talk about the results of Giving Tuesday campaigns.

Speaker 1:

Nobody really likes to spit out numbers because this is America and that's the last taboo, if there's a sexual taboo which there may not be. Streaming porn has basically mainstreamed all of that and made it rather pedestrian. Also, we don't know the longitudinal effects of nine-year-olds going up watching porn. They might not be entirely positive. Anecdotally, I know a guy who dates a lot on Tinder. He's in his 40s and most of the younger women he dates are significantly younger, like early 20s, and they say that they like him because all the guys their age have porn brains. They were watching porn a decade before they had sex of their own and they think that's what it's like. It's not. You don't do anal. Pile drivers on a one-night stand, not with that attitude. It shouldn't rule anything out. Life is full of possibilities. You only have the options. You know you have Taking us back Non-profit convention.

Speaker 1:

They don't call it non-profit for nothing. If you are fighting over scraps, it's oddly competitive. There's a lot of sublimation. People who think they're saving the world have weird places where they hide their neuroses and monsters and they come out in strange ways. And I know this because I always hook up at nonprofit conventions. All those women have sex like feral animals. I come home badly wounded and not necessarily complaining. You usually get a special seat on the airplane. They take some damage themselves. They have an oddly high threshold tolerance for pain. In the non-profit business If you can find strawberry blondes with green eyes, that's all I'm going to say. But it's crazy. I don't know if it's giving or taking, or perhaps both at the same time. Taking Thursday is not a day, because giving in a sense is taking, definitely at non-profit conventions.

Speaker 1:

Non-profits should have cheerleaders. There should be cheerleaders for good causes. I may have a bit of a cheerleader fetish. That is not true at all. A fetish is something you can't live without. I can live without anything. You've seen me do it. I'm dumpster dove, eating out of trash cans and lived off the same bag of rice for six months. I don't need a cheerleader uniform to get hard, although I enjoy it. Everything should have cheerleaders. We should have cheerleaders for non-profits. We should have cheerleaders for good causes. We should have cheerleaders for mental health, for self-esteem, for confidence, for the ability to forgive yourself for falling short of your high expectations.

Speaker 1:

Cheerleaders for everything, wearing your favorite colors or your favorite color and the complimentary color on the other side of the color wheel, because that looks cool. And cheerleaders look cool and they're sexy. They're willful, they're playful, but also dead serious about getting you motivated. And they're here for you. That's really sexy For me, at least when they're here for me. When they're here for you, that's really sexy For me, at least when they're here for me. When they're here for you, it's not the same. I'm selfish in that regard, but cheerleaders are not. And you can get cheerleaders for good causes, for non-profits, for states of mind why not? They don't just do sports. Cheerleaders are, if nothing else, flexible. You I don't know if it's a fetish, but you get randy.

Speaker 1:

I've noticed at weddings. Anytime we can go to a wedding, you always want to go and anytime we go, you find some spot rather quickly, as though you've scouted it out beforehand or perhaps done some crank off the back of the toilet, in wherever the bathroom is and wherever this wedding is held. We've been to all kinds of weddings. We went to one in a conservatory mini golf course, one on a Ferris wheel. It was not as cool as I was led to believe. The hand job in the air was fun as the wheel stopped. When our car got to the top, we were swinging back and forth. We could see the Pacific Ocean On the other side. We could see Topanga Canyon on fire Behind it.

Speaker 1:

You just feel the energy of the San Fernando Valley, not the suburban bland fest that it used to be. There's culture in the valley now. You just have to get someone to show you around. It's like Houston. There are a lot of hidden gems. You love weddings and I love them because you love them, because you are giving pretty much any imaginable way. Sometimes you let me run the show and you're up for anything. Seriously, I've tried stuff I didn't even like, but it was just humiliating. I wanted to see if you'd do it and you did. And sometimes you like to seduce and you're masterful at bringing those things together. But that only really happens at weddings. It's a special kind of sex we have at weddings. We got a brand new move out of it the bouquet toss. It'll be in Urban Dictionary eventually.

Speaker 1:

I am by nature a sensualist. I never really got a chance to thrive in that regard. But I love the life of the senses. All of them Taste, smell, touch. It's the way that your goosebumps rise and you have this little moan when that happens, and then a cat purr when you're so satisfied Because you get a chance to seduce me and I let you win. Works out well for both of us, and you know what you're doing in that regard. But I am living a life of the senses, sometimes Not like I could be. You know what you're doing in that regard, but I am living a life of the senses, sometimes Not like I could be. I feel like I had a chance to be really good at that when I was younger and now I got stuck with depression instead Got good at that. Have I missed my chance to be a great sensualist? I like to think not. I believe that leaving that door open accomplishes more than closing it. Even if there's nothing coming, I can live that life of the senses, be so good at that, so good at giving and taking, the kind of taking that's more generous and feels better and more giving than giving Giving itself.

Speaker 1:

And you need it. You need help, but for right now you at least need a massage, because it's a crazy amount of tension. You know I would be tense too If I was hiding what you're hiding. I know what you did last Giving Tuesday. Yeah, you, I don't know. Do you know what I'm talking about? You don't know what I know. It's not going to do you any good to lie about it, all what I'm talking about. You don't know what I know. It's not going to do you any good to lie about it. All you can do is just stonewall me, and that's what you're doing. Come on, it's sexy when you lie. Yeah, you can't help yourself. You want to choke on it.

Speaker 1:

You are incorrigible, just like you were last Giving Tuesday. You want everybody to find out about that. I can tell them about that, or I could get distracted by some really nasty thing that you do for me right now and I could talk about that instead, because that is that would be way more interesting. Whatever it is that you do, it's going to be interesting. I don't know if it's going to be as interesting as what you did last Giving Tuesday. See what you come up with and when we're done.

Speaker 1:

We started off nice and sensual and then, when the ice cube came out, things took a turn for the kinky and stayed there for quite a while I don't know how long, because we both lost track of time. There was no beginning, no end, no past, no future, just this. You know what this is. Yeah, this is way more interesting than what you did last Giving Tuesday. You were off the hook.

Speaker 1:

There we are reading to each other by candlelight, just thinking about how there is no word. I was gonna say precious, and then I caught myself and I heard what I was about to say and I realized how badly deficient that is. But is it that word or is it the entire English language? I love you. There you go, take it, bottle it up. I'll write it down. I'll write it in my own blood. Let's read poetry to each other by candlelight Tomorrow. I'll write it in my own blood. Read that In tomorrow night's haze of post-coital bliss.

Speaker 1:

Like you, I like to stay in practice. We sleep with other people. We've always done that. We've always been open about it as open as we want each other to be. You don't like it when I talk about it. I just want to know. So I, because whatever I'm imagining is is going to be more graphic, uh, and I might get some ideas. Who knows? There's a lot of stuff I haven't tried.

Speaker 1:

You know, what I'm trying to say is, as we've established, I want to be wanted. I want you to want me. I need you to need me. I long for you to long for me. I lust for you to lust for me. I'm burning up inside. I need someone who wants nothing more than to throw herself into that lava.

Speaker 1:

However, what I was gonna say is, because of that, I don't like even the idea of paying for sex. Don't patronize sex workers as a habit. It's too expensive and it feels degrading to me as someone who is establishing that he has to buy the kind of companionship that he wants. Look, maybe I want something really filthy. Maybe you have to pay for that. At my age, that could be it. Don't judge. Don't kink, shame. Don't even shame kinks that I didn't tell you about, because they're none of your business. Don't shame me at all. I have a right to do whatever I want and not be criticized. I went to a sex worker last week. Yeah, I thought you might want to know. No, you really don't want to know, but I need to tell you because honesty is important and this is important.

Speaker 1:

It was spectacular, I'm not even gonna lie. It was a Giving Tuesday special and on Giving Tuesdays they run specials for sufferers from severe depression and other mental illnesses, but mostly that one. We're non-threatening the depressives in us. Yeah, it was really convincing. It felt more like what my Hollywood adult brain thinks that intimacy is supposed to feel like than the real thing, which of course it did. It's constructive, it's designed by someone with a wide range of experience who's probably cynical about it and knows, in the way that marketers and dog trainers do, people's base instincts and what we really respond to and like gets off on just watching us chug through those hoops.

Speaker 1:

Be that as it may, I felt so wanted, lusted for, longed for, worshipped. It was like having sex with someone I love is supposed to be like. Yeah, with you it's different, because I am in love with you and that's real sex and that's gonna be messy, and so was this. But oh, in the best possible way it sent shivers down my spine and back up and back down again and through my nervous system to other parts of my body. I learned a lot. I can tell that you're upset, but someday maybe we can have an adult conversation about it and you can hold your end in that.

Speaker 1:

For now I have an idea let's get the tension out. Let's get down and dirty, spiritual and tender and intimate and loving, because every golden shower's elixir from the fountain of youth that doesn't make us young physically but keeps us eternally young in the beginner's mind, where we really belong, in order to experience the inchoate, ineffable wonder of all things. Every Charizard is a collector's edition. Every Tennessee taco swap is a life-changing experience, both a Waterloo and a Bodhi tree, enlightenment moment, and all things together, showing you the unity of all things and the polarity of all things. There's a lot of that Down and dirty because sex gets rough, and rough sex can save us all. Sublimated kinks are killing us. That and the confirmation bias, but they're related. We could save ourselves a lot of trouble if we channeled that into mutually degrading sex. Like you and I do, we get down and dirty and give each other what we want, what we need, what we didn't know we needed or wanted. But oh god, when it happens, and along with things that we just wanted to try, and then we can say, okay, that was interesting, I'll cross that off the list, maybe we'll come up with some performance art about it one day and do that in front of a security camera.

Speaker 1:

Next, giving Tuesday this one's over already. Go home, get out of here. That's it. There will be no encores. Why do people do encores? Everybody knows it's gonna happen. Just keep playing. You want people to feel like you're giving them something, in fact, just a ritual. Maybe that's it. Giving people rituals to perform? Hell yeah, why did I not think of that? Hell yeah, why did I not think of that? People need rituals and they're sadly deprived of them. People long for rituals. They lust for them. Giving Tuesday is coming at us 355 days away. Let's come up with some rituals. We can workshop them in front of security cameras. Or if you see a dude with a telescope and a Midwestern accent, we can do it for him too. He's gonna like it, I think. I know I'm gonna like it and I can tell you like it. You're bad at concealing that.
