Basic Perinatal Matrix II (BPM II) is that point in the birth when labor has started and we are being pushed up against the cervix by the mother’s contractions but the cervix has not yet begun to dilate or open. This can be a very scary experience, and people in later life who were traumatized at this point in their birth may feel claustrophobia, existential angst, depression, feelings of terror, or other negative consequences. Edgar Allen Poe may have been a BPM II baby as evidenced by his short story “The Pit and the Pendulum” where a character finds himself in a prison where walls are closing in on him and the only way out is down a bottomless pit.
when the whole nina thing kicked off a somewhat notorious music journalist (don't worry, not simon) sent nina, luke and me (bear in mind me and nina had never even heard of one another at this stage) a group email in support of her in which he attached a drawing he'd done of loads of cocks. maybe even an inadvertent abstract self-portrait of him masturbating.
it was an incredible moment in my life. witnessing a man lose his mind.
Was it Penman?
