Sexy Science ?

More unexpected excitement came when several women attended music experiences featuring Craig’s Blaster Beam. They enthusiastically praised how they felt sexually stimulated by the SUPER SUBSONICS generated by the Huxley Blaster Beam’s vibrational frequencies. < < < “I feel the Earth move, under my feet” > > >

Vice & Broadly.com probed this desirable phenomenon by a deep dive interview with Huxley irecently. Craig was delighted to receive such an outpouring of gratitude … “for the pleasurable & powerful arousals unleashed by the Beam’s sublime SubSonic Earth Tones!”

Craig in 2022 reveals secrets of his famous O-TONE… for which he gained many female fans. Which relates to his famous role as Peter James Kirk… whose liberating love affair with his Klingon girlfriend, Valdyr, left him beaming!

Passionate love … … … Across the Universe.
