David Carradine's 3rd ex-wife reveals actor's masochistic obsessions
David Carradine's third wife, Gail Jensen, reveals shocking secrets of Carradine's painful sexual past.
In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Jensen says Carradine used to tie himself up himself up in the bedroom of their California ranch and would float in their pool until he fell asleep and drifted under the water.
"He had his kinky moments," said Jensen, who believed Carradine used the sex acts as a form of meditation.
Um, maybe masochism?
These "magical acts" included a love of Speedo bathing suits, as well as tying his hands to bedposts or in front of the living room fireplace with belts and neckties.
She also describes the multiple tattoos and piercings that were part of Carradine's erotic interests.
Carradine sounds a lot like the late Bob Flanagan, an edgy performance artist I profiled for USA Today in the early '90s, whose eerily similar masochistic acts were featured in Danzig, Godflesh and Nine Inch Nails music videos.
Bob was the subject of a strangely moving documentary called "Sick: The Life & Times of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist."
Wonder if these two ever crossed paths or compared notes?
Ironically (or not) "Sick" is up 1% in popularity on IMdB.com this week.
Did all this Carradine death news give "Sick" a bump?

His ex-wife has no class at all. (And apparently she's never heard of "Nippits" nipple tape for sheer dresses) The poor guy's private life should have remained private, no matter how tantalizing for the tabloids.
Yes this is private but glad to learn of these things that people do for sex. His sex life was dangerous. My goodness, glad I'm not sadistically kinky.
I never even heard of this kind of dangerous sex playing game until now. Thank you for this lesson. It can be read about on Wikipedia and others who have died accidentally from doing this.
Don't do this, ever!!!
Hasn't anyone commented on the ironic scene in Monday night's premiere of "Weeds" which has a character explaining his neck wound as being a "noose burn" he got while masturbating?
