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.

The Indestructible Man!

This interview is part of my new book (and this weekend’s BME update which I’ll post tonight or tomorrow), but because I’ve featured him here before I’m posting a special “advance screening” here. Please don’t click through if you’re not generally alright with extreme (and adult) play.

    Very nice interview.

    I know how he feels about the tooth-out thing to, I once had to have 3 seperate injections of whatever painkiller they use (within the space of ten minutes) and it didn’t do a thing.

    That wasn’t pleasant at all.

    To me its very interesting to see how far people actually go for these things. A year ago I thought getting your dick pierced was the farthest anyone had ever gone, but as the saying goes, no matter how crazy or intense something is, somewhere, someone is doing something 10x that and more

    this guy is awesome.

    i’m glad he is able to do what makes him happy, without being called crazy, a freak, etc. because he isn’t, he’s just different than most.

    this is extremely interesting in the realms of how far the human body can be pushed. i appreciate that it is quite an extreme case, but it really does show how much pain and abuse it can take. fair play to him

    nice article, it fascinates me to read about why people do more extreme things like this.

    i saw one typo, i believe it should have said ‘dose’ in reference to his surgery, but it said ‘does’. (or am i just making that up?)

    more interviews of this kind would be fantastic. whilst pictures can be informative, interviews or articles often answer any questions that may arise from the photos.

    Very interesting indeed. It seems that immunity to novocaine and various other drugs had become more an more common in recent years. The medical community has yet to recognize this unusual trend. Not sure what is happening? Metabolizing the drug?
