Debate of the Week: Hedo Rick

Neil StraussThe Loop

I need a reader opinion on something.

I was on Loveline recently, and of course the best radio always happens off air. During a commercial, we were discussing the viral sensation Hedo Rick. If you haven’t seen Hedo Rick’s dance moves yet, behold:

Psycho Mike confessed to admiring Hedo Rick. Dr. Drew asked what he could possibly mean by that, and we eventually determined that Hedo Rick’s lack of self-consciousness was admirable–that he was fearlessly himself, unafraid of judgment.

But then Dr. Drew asked a question that remains unresolved: What does Hedo Rick mean by ripping and tearing?

Is he, as Dr. Drew theorized, possibly into some form of sadism—whipping or domination or pain infliction. Or is he, as Psycho Mike argued, simply into having a good time, ripping and tearing it up.

What do you think Hedo Rick’s kink is?

Not counting, of course, swinging, dirty dancing, and wearing Speedos.
