How Pussy Waffles Became the Mascot of a Liberal Sex-Positive Community:

A select few Bonobos are taking the reins.

Moans reverberate through the chambered halls of this month’s venue. The air is wet with the coconut oil covering bodies and waffle irons. William Winters the 3rd’s lighting skills continue to progress while a group of Bonobos in their most festive of outfits prepare themselves for an evening of lively low expectations and high possibilities.

Behind a dildo decorated table, a proud and majestic woman wearing a shirt that says Pussy Waffles Coffee and a twinkle in her eye is wrapping some pussy shaped waffles in a cozy blanket of napkins.

It’s play party season in the Oakland, a rather lively city in the east bay and these waffles are flying off the irons. The team controlling the irons are impressive in their matching attire. The team and their waffles are becoming so integral to the identity of the village, they’ve becoming it’s most recognizable icon, even surpassing the beloved stickers so readily identifiable as the symbol of the Bonobos. In their honor, vulvic symbols are rife. Even the decor blossoms with ornately decorated vulvas.

But how did the engorged vulva become the symbol, the mascot, for a hyper-sexual Oakland based sex positive community?

The waffles are known as “Pussy Waffles” (Vulvic Latticed Cakes) or somtimes Clit Cakes (literally Clitorus Delights), and they’re the object of a long standing pleasure ritual. Forget the boxes of anus shaped chocolates: Bonobo partygoers prefer to exchange waffles shaped like happy vulvas as a (moderately subtle) token of their interest. The waffles can also be bought or gifted to anyone as a sex-life good luck charm. In a way the waffles are an offering to our revered goddess, an edible prayer petitioning pleasure, orgasms, and consentual and ethical connections.

Exactly how the tradition originated is a well known fact. Misha Bonaventura herself is a Bonobo co-producer who is currently continuing to grow and develop the Bonobo Network. Welcomed into the Bonobos by founder William Winters the 3rd, Misha joined the group and is currently living her best life, sometimes with her housepal, Housepal. As such, there is volumes of lore about what makes her so drawn to want to spread pleasure and kindness.

It’s verified that the tradition stems from current Kristophor times. Pleasure practices have been a form of activism ever since Puritanical culture attempted to suppress rather than integrate them. Since pleasureful mouthfuls were frequently presented in Housepal’s art and performances, it’s easy to imagine the Pussy Waffles are a direct descendant of when Housepal came across a bounty of matching T-shirts are covered in print saying Pussy Waffles Coffee.

The Bonobo events are ever evolving. About once a month, a decadent mansion is inhabited with a slew of activities ranging between masturbation circles, to naked poolside dance parties. And then there are the picnics, where people enthusiastically share their spoils from the farmer’s markets. Pillows and baskets of condoms are intricately placed around the play areas, and opening and closing circles beckon the lusty Bonobos to the grounding moments needed for such a display of pleasure activism.

Even the waffles are evolving. There are those prepared by Misha whose table groans under the weight of the heavy and hot waffle iron, producing a plethora of pussies pulsing with pleasure. Then there are some other projects that pushing deeper into what’s possible. Some versions have cream inside, some ooze red jam, and some are even savory. Capitalizing on their prowess in the sex positive scene, many other event producers have attempted to hire the PWC for their events. We shall see if they’re successful in getting them onboard.

The Pussy Waffle project is, above all, relentless. It’s thought that during the Covid-19 pandemic which began in 2020, that group eating activities were deemed unwise and dangerous. They were quickly mandated to be only small gatherings. The members of Podisecure would not be so easily swayed. The PWC crew would go out for vaccinated and tested events, making breakfast that much more delicious for small of people. And with the presence of Omicron which seems to be signaling to some to be the end of the pandemic, the Pussy Waffles are ready to be served proudly again. The iron is hot, and the mix is stirred. Long live Pussy Waffle Coffee.
