Female artists with male groupies? Is that a thing?

Female artists with male groupies? Is that a thing?

ILM is not your personal erotica site.

I read somewhere that Janis Joplin complained about the lack of this.

The Go-Go's have said they had groupies.

I understand Lydia Lunch indulged in this kind of thing back in the day.

There was an infamous Go-Go’s backstage video wasn’t there (trying to remember VH1 factoids from 1998)

good for her, in all seriousness

What does this have to do with the Fall?

lol

iirc in her autobio Brix writes admiringly about Marcia Schofield's tenure in The Fall in these terms

esoteric erotica indeed

IIRC, the Go-Gos thing was that they couldn't find any male groupies, so they had to resort to going after roadies and guys in opening bands.

I remember reading an joint interview with Chrissie Hynde and Shirley Manson where the topic came up; Hynde said she'd never seen one, with Manson adding that men were too fragile to be groupies, and how they'd handle rejection by being sexually ruined for six months.

Straight guys are stupid, pt. 2437

didn’t Joan Jett have many male admirers?

This thread inspired me to read Rob Halford's autobiography, which includes a hilarious story of a glory hole encounter with a fan.

Xp

Idk about admirers

salacious gossip

. I worked with a woman who hooked up w her I think more than once? She seemed like good people and not super interested in men.

concurrent with us working together so spring 1998 iirc

I remember Neko Case complaining about unhorny all her male fans were. They just wanted autographed cds.

"I remember Neko Case complaining about unhorny all her male fans were."
Is that a common thing with the indie (pitchfork) acts?

If i knew, i'd tell ya, uh?!

The Go-Gos videotape involved a roadie, I think, and was supposedly nothing more than all of them drunk and trying (and failing?) to get him to either masturbate or use a sex toy. Never saw it but it was a staple of grey-market (e.g. Video Search of Miami) catalogs in the 90s, with the Chuck Berry tape.

Iirc, the Go-Gos succeeded in making the male roadie masturbate but he had difficulty completing the task.

the video i started the patriarchy thread with literally talks about this phenomenon lol

This thread is gross and I regret contributing to it

Dear ILM, you’re probably not going believe this, but in the ‘80s I was an the edge of seventeen…

Are female groupies horny ? I am sure some are, but that's not all there is to it ?
Otherwise pretty established that horniness is equally distributed, just the behavior differs and gender is far from the only factor there

I would recommend listening to the very popular podcast Groupies to answer that question.

The Go-Gos video is about the tamest thing you can imagine. I think it was about 20 minutes long, and they’re sitting at the base of a bed while having an insane conversation with two or three guys. Everyone is likely loaded on alcohol/cocaine

these guys are called 'stalkers'
