CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM STAR WRITES TELL-ALL BOOK
ABOUT WEIRD SEX LIFE
Susie Essman, who is best known for her portrayal
of the foul-mouthed Susie Greene on the HBO comedy series, “Curb
Your Enthusiasm”, is publishing a memoir where she candidly
talks about her weird sexploits with a series of weirdo
ex-boyfriends.
“My past is littered with unbelievably
inappropriate partners. I’ve been through some real humdingers
over the years, or should I say hum-dingdingding-ers . . . I
stayed with men when the bells were ringing so loudly Marlee
Matlin could have heard them,” Essman, writes in What Would
Susie Say: Bull[bleep] Wisdom About Love, Life and Comedy, which
is scheduled for an October release from Simon & Schuster.
“I remember a guy I once dated who would say
things like, ‘Bob really likes Susie. Bob wants Susie to get
naked’ . . . Then there was the guy who insisted on wearing a
lobster bib when having oral sex,” Essman recalls. “Then there
was the freak who every time he went to the bathroom made me
applaud.”
Just as strange was the oddball who told Essman
on their first date that his inner child was Dame Judi Dench.
And one boyfriend “admitted to me one day that his pet name for
his penis was ‘Klaus Barbie, Butcher of Lyon.’ . . . The worst,
though, was this one guy who barked every time we did it doggie
style. That’s a little excessive don’t you think? A woof woof
every now and then can be fun, almost kinky, but aggressive
metered barking every time?”
But Essman, who was 53 when she married
commercial real-estate broker Jim Harder last September, has no
regrets. “So you marry a guy when you’re 25, and that’s it?
That’s the extent of your sexual experience? That wasn’t for
me,” she writes. “I always thought if wedding vows went
something like: ‘For better or worse, richer or poorer, in
sickness and in health, and you’ll never have sex with anyone
for the rest of your life,’ people wouldn’t be so quick to say,
‘I do.’ “
