Wandalaput Interview Posted

This interview is titled, “Real Garbage: A Pig At The Service Of Vice”, and I really have to warn viewers that this is not for the casual reader, and it is most certainly adults only. Read on if you want to explore the life of an extreme SM enthusiast.

    i think it would be interesting to know how often he is tested? as it is quite amazing he hasn’t picked anything up yet.
    plus if he doesn’t get tested regularly whose to say that he hasn’t already unknowingly passed it on to other people.

    How is this guy still alive? You’d think after 40 years of eating shit and licking miscellaneous street things he’d at least contract staph before TEH AIDS.

    What disturbs me more than all the “perverse content” is the feeling I have toward Wanda after reading this list of his fetishes: absolutely nothing. Other than the bit about boarding school, there was really no information about HIM … which means he’s succeeded in his goal of being seen as a genuine non-person (rather than an extremely kinky person). I’m not sure why I should care, and I don’t.

    For the record, I really enjoy most of these interviews, even when the subjects aren’t warm and fuzzy. But this one? The Gertrude Stein quote comes to mind: “There is no THERE there.”

    what I find funny is, there are a lot of people on here are like “well at least he’s happy! blah blah blah” But if they had heard about this guy, from some friend or co-worker, they would probably say “oh my god, what a fucking freak!” Its just funny how the manner it was presented changes peoples reactions.

    *note* I didnt read all the comments, just the first 20 or so, so maybe I’m wrong.

    thanks for the interview, shannon, its always a pleasure to read non biased reports on lifestyles that are so alien to me.

    i just dont really know what to do with it now, cause in the same extent i believe that human beings can do anything they want if they dont harm anyone else, its hard for me to believe that Wanda is in full control of his mental state, therefore, i dont feel that his freedom of choice (to get AIDS and so on) is valid. On the other hand, i do have a strong belief in personal freedom of choices and dont want to be anyones conscience or judge, and really dont want to advocate any kind of “correct” or “sane” lifestyle, and that means not establishing behavior boundaries to other peoples lifes, not branding the strange as wrong, but…
    oh man, now i have a knot in my brain

    Hi everyone,
    First I’d like to thank Shannon for all the work he’s done to realise this interview.
    Please pardon me for answering you questions in French, but I think it will be a lot more logical [he probably means coherent] and explicative for me.
    The first thing you must know is that everything Shannon relates is true and this story is true, but you must also know that I also have a normal life, I don’t drink a lot, I don’t smoke, I do not take drugs and I have a regular job where none of my sexual habits can be seen.
    Why BMEzine? Simply because I got tired of finding website where people only had phantasm and others, under the pretext they would turn on doing so, would say anything without ever doing anything. [lot of talking but no acting]
    I’m a pig, a whore… I’m simply honest enough to say openly what I really am sexually, a true slave for sadist, may they be perverts of vicious.
    I really show what some people have phantasm about or don’t have the courage to confront. I deeply wish that being me and thus giving myself to perverts and sadists will help reduce aggression rates, indeed, if a wicked mind want to know what it feels like for him to stab someone in the thorax with needles he might as well come see me, I’m ok with that and it will save someone else from being aggressed.
    I’m extremely masochist and for me the logical ending is AIDS but not for giving it to others.
    If you have any other questions do not hesitate, it will be my pleasure to answer very soon.
    See you soon
    Wanda

    [The next two translations were done by Possessed and I made some corrections]
    I’m coming back to the keyboard to try to respond to your different questions. Some of your don’t understand why I enjoy coming with human excretions, the answer isvery simple – because I love it. Some people claim to be superior beings, I have the honesty to say that I’m a “sousmerde” [there’s no real translation for that in English, a word for word would be “under-shit” so I guess you get the point] and that I love degradation. I come the best from swallowing sperm and licking dirty shoe soles, for example, because I have to be a real rubbish bin at the service of perverts and sadists.
    Why force a person to do something they don’t want to do to make you come when there exist whores like me who only want that. I can pretend very well to be scared of aggression or of rape, so make use of people like me who love to be beaten, humiliated, tortured and mutilated and leave the innocents alone. In reality, what annoys me the most is that lots of people dismiss me as a pest while they dream of nothing but to “work” on a whore like me, and they don’t have the courage to contact me frankly, whether they’re disparaging me, or whether they’re masturbating to my pictures or videos, or whether they dream of doing it and do stupid things instead.
    Shit, you’re lucky to have direct access to all your fantasies with me; I’m as ready to be mutilated by you as to do it myself on your orders and in making photos and videos, could you ask for something more?
    Don’t talk to me about psychoanalysis or about being sick in the head, if you come to BME it’s because you like it, and somewhere you also have an inner expression to show or demonstrate, for me it is to be your toilet and your bin, and I’m very proud of it.
    If you want to give me orders of torture, mutilation, or others, I’ll be at your service. Contact me via my email and I will obey you – all film or videos that I make for you of my torture or mutilation will be uploaded to BME.
    The whore remains at your service, dusty kisses to all,
    Wandalaput

    For Possessed :
    To transmit the AIDS virus to someone, you have to be in direct contact with them. I eat the shit after it comes out, the same for the piss, the vomit, spit, sperm… So I don’t risk infecting anyone with the virus, and sadists love to work their victim with latex gloves, so I don’t really see where the problem is.
    I said I want AIDS for me and me alone, so it is out of the question to share it with anyone, unless the person is as much of a slut as I am and wants it.
    Wandalaput

    [Translations of Possessed questions]
    Wandalaput :
    I’m sorry for my french, I hope everything is understandable [yes it is, don’t worry]
    I hope I understood everything you told me. I don’t mean to say that you are the kind of person that would knowingly infect others with AIDS. For me it wasn’t clear in your interview if you have unprotected relations or if you only practice S&M activities to try to be infected with the virus. My worry comes from the fact that you could be contaminated without knowing it and potentially giving it to others, once again, unknowingly. And AIDS isn’t only transmitted through sexual relations, it can be contracted by blood contact with someone who’s infected.
    I’m happy to know you’re happy [comfortable?] with your sexual life and I don’t judge you at all for you desires and S&M tendencies, but you must surely understand why some people have a difficulty to accept the fact that you want to be infected with a disease that’s can potentially be fatal.

    Wanda, I wanted to ask you a quesiton to which you didn’t give an answer yet. Are those activities what you do most of the time? Do you have a real job and if so what do you do for a living? I’m curious to know. For sure you’re not afraid that people who know you in the “real world” will discover what you love since there are pictures of you where we can see your face [in the interview and on BME in general]. I don’t mean to say that you should feel ashamed but it’s quite rare to see someone on the net as open as you are about his S&M practices.

    Thank you, MatLax!

    After reading that, I only stand firmer in my conclusion that he is a smart, articulate person who has thoroughly though through his life choices. Because of the extremity of those choices, there will be people who do not agree. However, he wants this “degradation” for himself, and no one else. If this makes him happy, who are we to judge?

    Personally, I would love to get my hands on this little piggy and watch him squirm and suffer. I love hard play and there are so few people out there that are willing to “push the limits.”

    and, for the record, i dont buy the arguments that goes on the line “if hes happy, its ok”, cause to measure that is nearly impossible. There are to many psychological layers to be taken into account for ANYONE, even Wanda himself, to say for sure that he is, indeed, happy and fulfilled.
    what a foggy subject, i´m loving it 😉

    WTF. Wanda just made it sound like he’s here on BMEzine because we don’t fantasize. Because it’s all real here. What a load of crock! BME is made up of thousands of people fantasizing about mods they’ll never have. About fully sleeved arms and intricate backpieces they’ll never have. About facial implants, minor amputations, tongue splits, and ear reconstructions they’ll never have. BME is about fantasy and it’s NOT about reality if that reality involves people eating shit and drinking the semen of strangers.

    I’m not going to be swayed about this either. I don’t see anything in Wanda’s activities that I’d associate with my view of BME. I see BME as a place for the dissemination of technicaly information in relation of body modification. Kinks and sexual depravity (let’s not get into what is and isn’t ‘normal’) should be relegated to a forum within IAM or BME/Hard and NOT a front page post on ModBlog.

    To quote a friend’s text message to me after he came across the interview while browsing ModBlog… “ModBlog has just destroyed my faith in humanity. I hate you.” hahaha

    …and some would say — and I would agree — that there is no thing more fundamental to the biological experience than sexuality. It’s the core of what we are. I think that to say we need to pretend that it’s dirty and needs to be hidden away behind locked doors is a huge mistake.

    I’m just very suspect about what constitutes body play and ritual. Because really, when you think about it, ModBlog and BME could be opened up to ANYTHING directly or indirectly related to experiencing the body.

    Which means we could feature EVERYTHING in the human experience, not restricted to body modification. I mean if the brain is part of the body, then we could feature any kind of drug-taking which alters perception or brain chemistry.

    This kinda stuff just leaves the door wide open and there’s the opportunity for ANYONE to put their door in. And at that point there’d be no point in being called BME, body modification e-zine. It’d become something else entirely.

    C’mon man, eating shit and drinking semen? Giving yourself a disease? Sure that has to do with your body but not so much BME.

    To the people who think he should still be cared for medically after contracting the virus I say this.

    You’ve compared it to suicide, that is just plain silly. Caring for a suicide victim that failed at killing themselves is alot cheaper than caring for an AIDS/HIV patient. Do you have any idea what the daily mix of pills goes for? It’s in the low thousands. That has to be given every day, sometimes twice or more a day. Yes, a suicidal individual requires meds, therapy, all kinds of shit but the strain it puts on one’s wallet is much smaller.

    Shannon, I have to disagree when you say that sexuality is the core of what we are. I believe that sexuality, or to be more specific, sexual identity is purely a result of society. There are plenty of civilizations, both in history and in remote parts of the world that have no real concept of sexuality. Sex is a means of reproduction. If sexuality was a persistent human trait, I would assume it would be apparent in populations remote from mainstream society, but that isn’t always the case. And likewise, sexuality has been shaped and perceived differently over the course of time in different parts of the world.

    I do agree that sexuality is an important part of what we are as humans, since we and dolphins, and maybe some primates, are the only species that have sex for pleasure, but again, I think that that is something that evolved over time as thinking on the matter became more complex and people began to establish concepts of what should be considered “right” and “wrong”.

    Aiglos – I personally wouldn’t use the example of suicide as a comparison, but I don’t think it is right for a society to deny any one of its members medical care. It is my opinion that “civilised” nations ought not to simply let people die if they wish to live, whether that be because of why they require medical care, their inability to pay for it, what they may have done in their life, or any other reason.

    He has not said whether he would seek medical care if he contracted HIV, or if he would wish for himself to go without treatment. But if he decided to seek treatment, that is his right, and it’s not within doctors’ remit to deny somebody care because of how they came to be ill.
