because it feels good because it gives me an erection because it makes me come because I’m sick because there was so much sickness because I say fuck the sickness [...] because I was humiliated by nuns because of Christ and the crucifixion [...] because of doctors and nurses [...] because my parents said be what you want to be, and this is what I want to be, because I’m nothing but a big baby and I want to stay that way, and I want a mommy forever, even a mean one, especially a mean one, because of all the fairy tale witches and the wicked step mother, and the step sisters, and how sexy Cinderella was, smudged with soot, doomed to a life of servitude, [...] because of the Inquisition [...] because it’s in my nature because it’s against nature because it flies in the face of all that’s normal, whatever that is because I’m not normal [...] because my parents loved me even more when I was suffering because I was born into a world of suffering because surrender is sweet because I’m attracted to it because I’m addicted to it because endorphins in the brain are like a natural kind of heroin [...] because it is an act of courage because it does take guts [...] because you always hurt the one you love.

This past Monday I went to the Philadelphia Psychotronic Film Society and saw SICK: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF BOB FLANAGAN, SUPER MASOCHIST at PhilaMOCA.

was an American performance artist and writer known for his work on sadomasochism and lifelong struggle with cystic fibrosis.

His closest brush with the mainstream was him ‘‘starring’‘ in the Nine Inch Nails- Happiness In Slavery video.

Nine Inch Nails- Happiness In Slavery (Uncensored) Big ol’ trigger warning here

EDIT: Here is the link as any shareable video has been wiped off the internet.

Near the end of his life he was the subject of a RE/Search book Bob Flanagan: Supermasochist and a documentary Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist.

Bob flanagan's poem from his documentary about his life and death

“Supermasochistic Bob has Cystic Fibrosis He should’ve died young but he was too precocious How much longer he will live is anyone’s prognosis Supermasochistic Bob is Cystic Fibrosis I’m dili-dili, I’m gonna die I’m dili-dili, I’m gonna die When he was born the doctors said he had this bad disease That gave him awful stomachaches and made him cough and wheeze Any normal person would’ve buckled from the pain But SuperBob got twisted now, he’s into whips and chains I’m dili-dili, I’m gonna die… You get the idea before I kill myself. I’m dili-dili, I’m gonna die years have come and gone and Bob is still around He’s tied up by his ankles and he’s hanging upside down A lifetime of infection and his lungs all filled with phlegm The CF would’ve killed him if it weren’t for S & M Supermasochistic Bob has Cystic Fibrosis”

Bob Flanagan. These song lyrics derived from Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, the famous Disney song from Mary Poppins. The childlike humour that is present within his performance created by using an upbeat rhythm is masked by a haunting story about living with the disease.

Ho sempre pensato che il giorno in cui sarò malato e non potrò vivere con il mio masochismo, mi impiccherò per il collo e mi castrerò Mi piace lasciarmi andare ...perdere un certo livello di controllo. Ma decido io a chi mi arrendo e con chi mi arrendo. Perché sono totalmente consapevole della natura incontrollabile della mia vita: alcuni giorni mi sveglio e non riesco a respirare. Quindi devo adattarmi e fare qualcosa di diverso da quello che avevo pianificato. La gente dice sempre - Oh, il masochista è sempre sotto il controllo - e lo dicono in modo peggiorativo. Ma non penso sia brutto voler controllare la sua vita
