A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Allan Farkner Teaches Suspension

Comments on Allen Falkner teaching suspension, via Fark (click for full forum and link to original story, thanks Testa for the pointer);

Dude seriously needs a hook through his brain next.

Gives new meaning to the phrase “The suspense is killing me.”

The guy I lost my virginity to did the first “ass suspension.” Thank god this was years after we boned.

Ass suspension? Just how does that work? Hang on to a buttplug with you sphincter of godly strength? Drive hooks through your buttcheek muscles? Geez…

It gets philosophical though as well.

Gosh, have you ever stuck the blade of a hunting knife up your ass? Maybe it would be transcendent. Can’t say it isn’t till you try it.

Or maybe you don’t need to actually need to stick a hunting knife up your ass to know that there is nothing transcendent about it and that anyone who would actually enjoy doing that has serious mental issues. Such a person does not need to embrace their inner ass-knifer, they need to seek help to find out why their mind craves such clearly psychologically deviant and destructive behavior.

Anyway, I’m going to go satisfy my inner ass-knifer now.

    “Or maybe you don’t need to actually need to stick a hunting knife up your ass to know that there is nothing transcendent about it and that anyone who would actually enjoy doing that has serious mental issues.”

    Sounds like this person is

    1) confusing any and all motivation to do something like this with sexual masochism

    and then

    2) displaying ignorance of massive proportions about even that.

    I truly do not get how using painful experiences for:

    sex
    spirituality
    ordeal/endurance
    fun

    have always been a part of human history, yet people remain so hopelessly ignorant about this and insist it makes no sense. WHAT THE FUCK.

    *shakes head at the ignorance and judgmental assholery*

    You know, you should only satisfy your inner ass-knifer if you do it on someone else…namely, the sanctimonious twit who wrote all that garbage.

    Well, when you google “knife ass” under images, this IS the first thing that comes up…and it’s exactly what I knew would come up.

    And it amazes me that some people will really truly never understand.
