For those of you out there that don't know, March is Hot-Torrid Butt-Sex Month. As the first week of HTBSM passed, i was amazed to find out that so few people around me knew what it was. And here i thought it was just common knowledge. So, as a service to you, the public (and me being a part of the public), i found a little info on the history of HTBSM.

-cpb March, 2000


Notes:
I have also procured some pictures of some of the innovators of HTBSM, here.

In the past THE Experience has asked you to Send In Your Butt-Pics. For those results, go here.

To the best of my knowledge, HTBSM pre-dates Black History Month (February) by about a decade, and no, it was not started by porn-mavens or perverted derelicts.
HTBSM was started by Phillip Jonathan McCureviss in Chicago in 1915, and was originally celebrated as "Sodomy Week". P.J., as i stated earlier, was no pervert, he just wanted to celebrate his favorite pastime. The son of immigrants and devout Catholics, P.J. followed only some of the strict guidelines that Catholicism had to offer - one of the most important (in his mind) being the use of absolutely no mechanical birth control devices. However, McCureviss discovered at an early age, through a family friend (affectionately know as Pastor Pitts), the wonders of anal sex. Being deathly afraid of children, or more precisely of having children, Phillip applied his Highway 7 birth control method - which he thought did not defile his faith - when he was married to his wife Joyne in 1912. He enjoyed the practice so much, indeed, that only three years later he began his crusade to spread (no pun intended) the word on the magic of butt-sex. His first festival was a disaster, a week long spectacle that was poorly planned and poorly run - not to mention the obvious blunder of naming the event "Sodomy Week". But the poor reviews and attendance did not deter young Phillip, as he continued to hold the festivals for the next six years, always during the third week of March (scheduled to coincide with his wedding anniversary on the 21st of the month). Unfortunately in the fall of 1922 P.J. was stricken with polio. The festival, now known as Ass Week, was put on hold for three years, until a man by the name of Richard Bender took up the Hershey reigns. An employee at Phillip�s candle shop, Dick envisioned the festival coming back even stronger than before - he wanted to stretch (again, no pun intended) the festivities to a month long butt-ramming extravaganza. So, in 1925, with Phillip McCureviss looking on, Richard Bender organized the first Hot-Torrid Butt-Sex Month. HTBSM finally gained national recognition in 1933 when it was a featured attraction at the Chicago World�s Fair. Phillip, however, did not live to see his creation achieve fame. Sadly, he was killed in a train wreck that year, just two days before his 21st wedding anniversary. In 1967 Richard Bender�s son, Junior, declared the third Monday of March to be Ass-Mash Monday, a tribute to the wedding anniversary of the man who made HTBSM possible.

So that�s the story as far as i know it. If anyone has any extra info, or corrections, feel free to e-mail me so that i can completely ignore you.
And remember, March 20th is Ass-Mash Monday, so get out there and get yourself some ass. And if you can�t do that, lie and say you did.
