Bob Flanagan was a performance artist. He was diagnosed with CF, and new he would be in pain, and would die at an early age. He turned his pain into a pleasure - he became the "supermasochist", and lived much longer than his life expecancey - in fact, he came near to living longer than other CF patient. Take an art history course before you judge.

@James25H no, he wasn't a 'sick fuck'. i have cystic fibrosis too, and i know what it means to want to live life to the full and experience different things. that means different things to different people. i wouldn't do what Bob did, but S&M is what interested him. its what he enjoyed. and i personally think that the fact he didnt let CF stop him from doing what he wanted it awesome, not sick. to many people, he's inspirational. dont judge what you dont know.

I have CF, and like him BDSM is my emotional therapy. I don't know what it is, but there are a lot of us who turned to S&M as emotional therapy. Maybe it's because we grew up turning pain into pleasure, and never being in control.
As well, there are also a lot in the CF community who don't use this as an outlet, I don't speak for everyone. Even if you have CF, we aren't all going to fight it in the same way.
He fought sickness with sickness, and you can't judge, even if you've been there.

@tommybasilio Agree, he did all that shit to feel alive and to be involved, his body was his art. It's a great doco.

i want him to fuck me :^)
-
Because he always took it as a man.

Yeah.... give me a break. Eating shit off a spoon and drinking piss from a baby bottle has NOTHING to do with cystic fibrosis.

I know what an opinion is. And thank you for sharing yours. Flanagan WAS NOT MAKING fun of C.F. How does anyone on this board see his performances as making fun of a terminal illness? If that's how you take it, oh well.
