#vcsmuttysunday: Armand & Daniel explore the Adult Entertainment Industry in the 1970s

I think it's more or less established fanon at this point that Daniel and Armand had a fun time experimenting with what the burgeoning sex industry had to offer in the late 1970s and early '80s (I place at least half of the blame on this comic). But sex shops really started taking of in Europe and North America in the '60s, '70s, and '80s! As far as I could find, London's first 'modern' sex shop opened in 1972 — five years before Armand and Daniel moved to London and lived as a couple in the city. Manhattan - where they later went - was infamous for having a strip of pornography theaters and all kinds of XXX entertainment spots in Times Square.

Here's some of the things they might've found in the sex shops back then, the ordinary and the not-so-ordinary:

(NSFW BELOW THE CUT)

Vibra Bed

It was a vibrating device that you attached to your bed and it turned the whole thing into… a vibrator. Armand absolutely bought one (or two or three) of these and probably made Daniel hump the vibrating mattress to completion while he watched. Their neighbors hated them.

Hitachi Magic Wand

Most of us have at least heard of this one that's still a best-seller today, but 1977 was when it really took off! I think Armand would've found it somewhat of a novelty to be able to bring Daniel to orgasm without using his hands or mouth directly. The vibrations alone would do it pretty fast, especially when placed along the perineum and the head.

Speaking of finishing fast...

Strain Loops

Cock rings in general became super popular during the sexual liberation phase of the '60s and '70s (people wanted to stay hard longer during anal sex), but I'm highlighting this type in particular because I hadn't come across it before and I just saw it mentioned in reference to vintage sex toys. Imagine Armand looping that around Daniel's dick and balls before he makes that boy hump that vibrating mattress a second time.

Novelty Handcuffs

This one I'm listing simply for my sake, because I think human Daniel (and vampire Daniel lbr) would get such a kick out of literally chaining a powerful vampire like Armand to his bedpost with the kitschiest bright red handcuffs!

And now - remember what I said about adult theaters in NYC earlier? Well, here's some of the movies they could've caught (and one of the places it would've been socially acceptable for Armand to whip out Daniel's dick out in public and do things to it, which he did).

Not saying Armand didn't buy Daniel leather shorts after seeing this and made him wear them everywhere for the next two weeks, not saying he didn't.

LIVE SEX ACTS.

Imagine Armand making Daniel get on that stage and put on a performance of his own! Maybe Armand joins him, maybe he doesn't (it would be Armand's first time in the spotlight since he seduced Louis in Paris - shame that was a performance of an entirely different nature... well, perhaps not to a vampire, huh?).

Grope-rooms are once again exactly what they sound like: you went there to grope other people and get groped. Bet The Dancer joined them more than once.

Anyway, hope y'all enjoy that tiny slice of sex history and that it inspires some smutty vampire thoughts of your own!

#i'm exhausted this took longer than i was anticipating but yk what i learned stuff #this will probably get a part two at some point tumblr limits pics rip #also scandalized to realize this is exactly where my parents were living in the 70s & 80s huh gentrification really got us in nyc #vc #the vampire chronicles #armand/daniel #the devil's minion #mildly meta #vcsmuttysunday

Note

working in an 'adult novelty store' does not entitle you, the customer, to intimate knowledge about my anatomy or how 'well' it works, nor does it mean part of my job is trying on lingerie for you, nor does it mean i'm open to repeated lewd invitations or proposals just cus you wanna get lucky - or get a green card - and think that since we sell things that vibrate it means your manners are left on the sidewalk along with your pants. we are a STORE. treat us as any other. my job as a cashier in a store does not mean i'm an escort here for your personal 'curiosity', that is a completely different job that is serviced out of a completely different place of business. please see our list of advertisements posted on the bulletin board thattaway if that's what you're interested in.

also a fuck you to the owners and management in particular for not having the balls to ban customers or enforce boundaries and saying i was 'unreliable' and firing me for having a perfectly reasonable reaction to an awful customer i'd told you about repeatedly and even asked to adjust my schedule since you wouldn't ban his nasty ass, i hope karma bites you big. fuck you fuck you fuck you.

hi frank! i love your blog!! as a marine biology nerd i’d like to know: what’s your favorite sea creature? :)

Thanks so much!

Favorite sea creature is a more difficult question than one might think (I also hesitate to even describe it as a "favorite," as it's more a feeling of "wow these are so cool and interesting" than anything more concrete -- they're not really my favorites in any traditional sense).

I guess I like the cuttlefish for one specific thing: while looking through a lot of pages of the online Encyclopedia of Life and various other sites, I had the sense of actually being in a place with some sort of living being. I guess it's a bit similar to the feeling you get looking at certain types of video art? Like the way when you look at certain abstract images you get this sense of the object depicted seeming to vibrate, or something, or it's just this feeling you get?

I also really like chlorotoxin, though I don't know why.

But I think the most vivid memory of the ocean is when, shortly before starting college, my parents took me and my sister to the aquarium in Seattle. We all went swimming in the same tank. In the ocean there's an animal with an internal skeleton, which doesn't actually connect to the body at any point but does move around inside of it in a pretty free way (sort of like certain bacteria or viruses?).

When I think of "memories of the ocean" they're not very interesting, and the ones that aren't about that are about not wanting to go swimming in various places (the Pacific Ocean, Lake Michigan, near Florida's Atlantic coast).

When I was growing up, we lived in various cities (a lot of time in Philadelphia) and would sometimes visit places which had natural bodies of water. One place in the Poconos is famous for its "caves of quartz," and they are basically huge pools (several hundred feet across) of this stuff. There were a couple of the caves near our place, and we used to like to spend a lot of time in and around one.

The caves were a great place for kids' parties. They'd often take us to them (my parents were fine with this) and we would have these enormous water slides where it would all drain out in the bottom of the cave and then the cave would close and then, a moment later, all of the water would come crashing back up out of nowhere. This would happen several times per party, and it always made everyone very giddy and was really very impressive. In retrospect, there was probably a certain appeal to it for adults, too, in a way. It was like, well, what does this look like, when it comes up for air, and when it falls back into place? Just for the novelty.

I was also very curious about what the caves were made of and what their interior was like, so I would always want to have the caves just open for inspection. (I never did this, though. My parents were annoyed at me for it at some point, I think.)

One thing I remember about the caves is how dark they were, when the water would drain out. But not just because the caves were very dark in general -- it would take quite a while for the water to come pouring out, and it was dark in all of the caves during this process.

During that period, the water all looked just kind of blue, the cave was kind of just dark and the light was getting more distant and dimmer. And I found this incredibly entrancing. It felt like I could get inside of it, even if it was still far away, just because it didn't have any visible light.

I feel like the same kind of thing is happening when I look at certain types of art in a museum. It's not simply the color of the colors I see, although that's part of it, but the feeling of color. Like I feel like I could go down to the nearest black hole with my mind and bring the sensation of a certain kind of blackness with me and be in that place. Which I guess is also why some art museums can have the effect on me of "going inside the art." The one I've been to that had this effect was the one with the collection of giant glass eyeballs. Those eyeballs looked very, very deep (I think I was very impressed by the way they curved inwards at the temples, as if to keep the light out). And their color was very deep.

It might just be that I'm very excited by the black holes, which seems like a bad reason to "like the ocean," but still.

Whales Can Sing Underwater Without Drowning—Now We Know How

Scientists Have Discovered New Insights into Baleen Whales’ Anatomy That May Also Make Them Vulnerable to Human Noise Pollution.

— By Melissa Hobson | February 21, 2024

Scientists have long wondered how baleen whales can sing while holding their breath. That’s because a whale’s larynx both makes sound and closes off their airway so they don’t drown. Try closing your mouth, holding your nose, and trying to hum—it won’t work.

“If you can't let the air flow, the system is pressurized. When it's pressurized, and flow stops, sound stops,” says Joy Reidenberg, a professor at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City who studies whale anatomy.

Experts already knew that whales have a special larynx with a bagpipe-like sac that enables them to sing, but they didn’t know exactly how they produced sound.

“You can't just take an endoscope down a baleen whale and see what they're doing when they're singing,” says Reidenberg who was not involved with the new study. But three strandings close to his lab enabled lead author Coen Elemans, professor of bioacoustics at the University of Southern Denmark, to collect fresh vocal tracts from a recently deceased humpback, minke, and sei whale.

For the first time, Elemans could use these three larynxes to replicate what happens when the animals produce sound. That led to a surprising discovery: The animals’ vocal cords vibrate in an unexpected way to produce noise.

Party Balloons—For Science

Each of the three species create very different noises: humpbacks sing complex songs, minkes quack like ducks, and sei whales create low frequency booms. But how?

After conducting CT scans, the team situated the three larynxes in a laboratory air space and slowly blew air through the system to see if they could mimic a whale’s gigantic lungs.

“We ended up using party balloons to power the setup,” Elemans says.

They’d assumed that the inner edges of the whales’ vocal cords rub together to make sound, but the experiment revealed the vocal cords instead rub together against a fat pad at the back of the larynx.

“No other animal does vocalizations in that way,” says Reidenberg.

Reidenberg wonders if the two vocal cords can vibrate at different frequencies against the fat cushion, or whether they can also vibrate against each other. This could explain how a whale can make more than one sound at once.

Elemans thinks these adaptations arose when whales' land ancestors returned to the ocean around 50 million years ago. Because baleen whales needed to communicate with other whales while using their larynx for food and airway separation, they evolved this unique system.

“These animals physiologically made up a totally new evolutionary novelty to make sound underwater with this weird larynx,” he says.

More Investigation Needed

Reidenberg cautions the sample size of the study—just three animals—is too small for such a generalization, and that scientists need to examine more specimens first.

Heidi Pearson, professor of marine biology at University of Alaska Southeast, who was also not involved in the study, agrees. She’d like to see a different family of whales examined for comparison, as the three individuals studied were all juvenile rorqual whales. Elemans says he wants to study an adult male, which are known for their singing.

But the experts acknowledge the inherent challenge in doing so. “Just getting those samples is a triumph in its own right,” says Pearson.

Controlling Noise Pollution

The researchers also used 3-D computer simulations to mimic what happens when the whales’ larynx muscles are activated. They discovered these structures cannot produce sound at higher frequencies than 300 hertz (Hz), or below depths of about 330 feet.

Unfortunately, that “depth and frequency range overlap almost perfectly with what humans make,” says Elemans, meaning they may struggle to compete with noise generated by shipping vessels, which emit sounds between 30 and 300 Hz.

“It's what you and I might call a cocktail party effect,” says Reidenberg. When your vocal range overlaps with everyone else’s, it becomes harder to hear each other without raising your voice.

That’s why the study highlights an urgent need to decrease noise pollution by limiting vessel traffic, implementing slow zones, protecting areas with lots of vocalizing whales, and making ships quieter, says Pearson, and using real-time data in conservation plans.

Reidenberg has a good example of how to do that: If an offshore wind farm in New York conducted a seismic survey during winter, it wouldn’t interfere with whale vocalizations, she says, because “the singers are all down having spring break in the tropics.”
