What we’re about
Bonoboville is a community founded by Dr. Susan Block, best-selling author of “The Bonobo Way,” "The 10 Commandments of Pleasure," “Being a Woman” (with Dr. Toni Grant) and "Advertising for Love." She is best known for her hit HBO specials, her over 20 years on Los Angeles cable TV and her unique, renowned events, shows, seminars and parties around the world.
A small village (in cyber space and down on earth) for people who want to further their understanding of human sexuality using various forms of media, “Bonoboville” takes its name from the bonobos, the "Make Love Not War" chimpanzees, who swing through the trees, and with each other. "The Bonobo Way" inspires us to live more peaceful, pleasurable, female-empowered, ecosexual lives.
Our group gets together to learn, discuss, enjoy and explore various forms of sexuality, art, erotica, science, dance, performance and culture, and always to have fun together. We meet up for the shows, seminars, art exhibits, live theater, dinners, discussion groups, parties, celebrations and trips to the zoo to see the real bonobos. Sometimes we make films of our adventures. We also work to help save the real bonobos, who are highly endangered, from extinction.

See all- Max to the MAXIMUSBonoboville, West Los Angeles, CA
On what would be Captain Max’s 82nd birthday – Saturday, November 8th, 2025 – Bonoboville will hold a bonoboësque, multi-media, multi-cultural celebration of the remarkable life, storybook romance and historic “free speech” legacy of Pr. Maximillian Rudolph Leblovic Lobkowicz di Filangieri (11/8/1943 – 5/13/2025), affectionately known to family and friends as “Mickey,” and to fans and other friends as “Captain Max.”
Doors will open at the Womb Room Sanctuary of the little Love Church of The Bonobo Way in Bonoboville at Dr. Suzy's Speakeasy in the Dr. Susan Block Institute at 3 PM (PST). Remembrance rituals, heartfelt eulogies and testimonials from around the world, prayers to all the Gods and Goddesses (“just in case,” as Max would say), music, films, food, drink, flowers and festivities will flow on through the night.
For address, more information, and to RVSP, call 626.461.5950.
The “Max to the MAXIMUS” Memorial will also be broadcast live on DrSusanBlock.com as well as on X/Twitter @DrSuzy, Facebook at Villa Bonobo, IG at Bonoboville and our Bonoboville Youtube channel.
