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.

    I really like what you do and the simple yet conscious way you do it. This interview, like the piece about the australian girl obsessed with losing her legs, manages to focus on the “humanity” and “life track” of these self destruction oriented beings. Looking for a devoted translator to french ?

    Wow thanks for posting the interview. The whole thing makes so much sense now. With his tolerance for injury and drugs I imagine that inserting skewers for him would be like basic needle play for a “regular” person. Cool!

    For the record, WMV does not support Intel-based macs. But, there is a program called flip4mac that should work.

    Anyway, I think this is a pretty cool concept.

    53: That’s how it sounds to me as well. I’ve met masochists who heal extremely rapidly as well (though no one who does things as extreme as FK here) and have always thought that that’s how some rare individuals just work.

    I read the interview and then watched the video just now and it is very intense, Unbelievable that he can do those things and get off by it, I’ve tried sounding and that gets painful after a minute or two so I can’t begin to imagine or understand the tolerance for pain this guy has, a true testament that humans are capable of more things than we give ourselves credit

    I have a very low tolerance for pain… I can’t even begin to imagine how much this must hurt.

    very interesting! It’d be cool to read more about the initial process- the fishing scissors into the dermis and going through the fatty tissue etc.
    While my initial response to the video was to clutch my own stomach in a queasy wow, it was quickly replaced by strong admiration.

    To those who’re frightened to watch the video:
    I found the stills to be a lot more intense to see.
    I watched the video whilst eating enchiladas, and no problems here 🙂

    Shannon, I would LOVE to see more interviews in general, and especially from people who practice heavy/edge play. It’s a fascinating area and it seems like it’s pretty quiet as far as people explaining their reasons and methods and love for it.

    Well done on this one, and thanks for the translation for us non-cultured folken 😛

    good interview, but i beg your pardon, i have already been disgusted by the first pictures i saw of him. i just don’t know, the scars, the skin, the man, the fisting…..but whatever floats (your) his boat.

    anyways, keep up the good work, schannon!

    I’m really interested in what this interview has to say, but I can’t handle the photos. Is there any way to just read the interview without seeing the pictures? I have a vasovagal response to looking at that sort of thing (i.e. big drop in blood pressure=fainting) but from the comments it looks like a fascinating interview!

    @ 14: ” why is it a Windows-only filetype?”

    Ha! there was a discussion about the very same topic some time ago. try to use the VLC -player (VideoLanClient).

    It is also interesting to read about the harder play that most of us will never encounter. And by the way if a guy name Sylar comes knocking at the door, don’t answer.

    Hey FK Danke für dein Interview und deine Offenheit, für mich persönlich geht das ganze zwar extrem zu weit, aber es hilft mir solche Aktionen einzuordnen und zu verstehen. Wünsch Dir noch viel Spass und Glück auf deinem weiterem Lebensweg. Und pass auf dich auf, nicht dass deine nächste Sesion sich negativ auf deine Gesundheit auswirkt. Take Care.
