Why I am The Sex Nazi.
04 April 2003-2:19 p.m.
I have told the story of how I became the sex nazi to several of my friends and they have all said "oh you should put that in your blog" I'm not sure how funny this will come across since I think seeing my frantic pointing and hearing the ever rising annoyance in my voice is part of what makes it funny, but here goes.
To begin with I'll have to explain about the show I'm ADing. It's called Bent and it's about a gay man living in WWII Germany and his life once he is taken to a work camp. It's not a fun happy story. However, rehearsals are hysterically funny. You have to be able to laugh or you'd never get through it. We also have a terrific group of guys. Once at Dachau Max meets Horst and a strange love story begins. At one point the two of them are standing at attention, they can't touch, and they can't look at each other, but they make love just by talking. The first time we ran this scene off book is when I became known as the sex nazi.
This is admittedly a very hard piece to learn. They are just standing there reciting random words. They have to have it completely memorized, and they did not. So what happened was that instead of a four minute scene, we had an hour long excruciating time, of me sitting in a desk, pointing at the two men in turn saying things like "no, *sigh* it's 'tongue, your chest'." "No not 'hard', no not yet, 'hard' is after his chest" And my personal favorite read with growing volume "NO It's 'down-yes-down-yes-your cock' now switch to sentences you say *pointing* 'do you feel my cock', you say 'do you feel my mouth', 'mouth-cock-cock-mouth' please can we just do this little part!" It went full circle from being funny, to not funny at all back to funny again. Because it's just funny to have a grown man look puzzled and say "cock?, is that right"
And the thing is I wouldn't have stopped them. I got to the point were I was like "I don't care what you say, just throw out sexy words, get the 'mouth-cock-cock-mouth' thing in there and then just say random words like 'feel' 'thrust' 'stroke', just orgasm for god's sake!!!" So yeah I got named the sex nazi.
We have had several rehearsals since then and I must say that they have gotten remarkably better.
