The Cock Whisperer: fun but not horny-making
“This is a cock!”
“Oooooee” I think as Collette Kendall opens her piece at Performance Works late on Thursday night. She holds a large dildo and proceeds to indulge in cock facts and cock stories.
The Cockwhisperer: A Love Story, Kendall’s one woman show, begins by taking us back to the late 70’s when she was young and curious about cocks. Her references to dying ones hair with Sun-In and learning to do The Hustle brought back fond memories for me. She speaks about a time when in sex education, as she illustrates, drawing the female anatomy was merely indicated as two pot lids for tits and a Y for vagina. A time when words of a sexual nature were not thrown around as freely as today. Kendall reminisces of her past adventures in sex bringing the realization that WOW, we have come a long way.
The bulk of her story is one that many, well most of us, can relate to: losing one’s virginity. She fondly remembers her “sexual friction” experiences, as being soooo good at the time, not even realizing there was soooo much more to come. Relating her detailed sexual adventures, she has the audience squirming in their seats when she demonstrates an itch she developed in her bush, “People appreciated a good bush back then”, and she mimes pulling out a small black speck that proceeds to pop out tiny black legs. Shocked and bewildered, she shaved that mighty bush right off, only to find out later there did exist a simple shampoo cure. Her story continues into marriage, her cock relationships developing deeper and deeper.
Although she is as provocative as ever, constantly teasing the guy sitting in the front row seat opposite her, the material was not exceptionally new. Granted it was entertaining and I had a good chuckle at some of her many anecdotes, I wanted more: more provocative, more revealing, more edgy. Is that even possible these days I wonder, when almost every topic of sex is freely and openly discussed? Puppetry of the Penis, Vagina Monologues, Sex in the City, Brittney Spears to name only a few – it’s all out there.
Secretly I had hoped that with a title like The Cock Whisperer: A Love Story it would have titillated me and I would have left the performance horny and ready to jump on my husbands not so whispering cock.. Instead I walked away with a smile and a late night yawn.
