Susie brings you today's show from London. And while the English may have a reputation for being well-mannered and stiff-lipped, Susie has found some very open-minded and racy Brits to talk to. First up is an interview with Dr. Petra Boynton, one of Britain's top sex educators. Petra and Susie have a lot in common, and their discussion starts out with looking at the double-standard when it comes to women watching porn.

Susie starts off this week's show with a question: can devoted Christians really get down and dirty? It seems that many religious Catholics are into following the word of the Lord - and one of those words is...fisting. Susie finds the website Sex in Christ informative. And it's not just fisting; they teach about oral sex, threesomes, masturbation and bondage. And you thought religious types were square!

Susie says she's a firm believer that the more sex obsessed we become, the less sex we actually have. A recent article in The Daily Telegraph says more and more women are opting for in vitro fertilization treatments to get pregnant rather than having sex with their spouses. They say their just too busy, to which Susie says maybe having kids is not the most pressing issue. Then, in the mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a young woman who says she loves kink, but is surprised to still be fuming over cat

On this week's In Bed, Susie takes a look at the new book Scary Old Sex by Arlene Heymen. This new short-story collection gets into the intimate details of sex after 60. Next, it's invasion of the hens! Provincetown gay bars are being overrun by bachelorettes.

A landmark court ruling in Japan has stated that, since prostitution in their country is a business transaction, wives can't claim it as adultery. So why is this a big deal? Japanese wives are entitled to monetary compensation when their husbands have mistresses. Susie is torn about this: she's sympathetic to prostitutes being able to earn their livelihoods, but this does take power away from Japanese women. The court ruling was issued...yes, by a man.

Happy New Year! Susie wants you to enjoy a show from 2011 today, all about joysticks for Jacks and Jills. There is a perception that gamers are all young men who spend their waking hours in their basements, secluded from the real world. But surprise, many gamers are regular people, including plenty of female devotees. Susie and erotica author (and video gamer) Shanna Germain talk about how sex finds its way into some popular titles and how to navigate a multi-player game. They also talk about why sex is considered a game "reward". And are there any queer- and bisexual-themed games?

On today's show, Susie looks at a common first-timer's fear: What does a virgin need to know about how sex "feels" versus how masturbation feels? Seems like some very worried newbies have performance anxiety about their first encounter. That's a good thing, says Susie, and she has some advice that her friend, sex expert Cory Silverberg, recently offered on About.com.sex: Keep exploring on your own. Having sex with yourself is a great warm-up act that can really prepare you. The bottom line is that masturbation is great and can help you find some great moves too!

Today's show features a deep look into Catholicism and Paganism - something for everyone! Susie recently wrote an article that appeared in the Huffington Post about a new iPhone app that allows sinners to make an instant confession. After purchasing this entryway to God for $1.99, Susie was prompted to answer some questions about her devotedness. Looks like she'll be in the digital confession booth for quite some time!

Shopping for all your essentials is now easier. You just have to hit one store for your toothpaste, kitty litter, cough drops - and new vibrator! Yes, once only purchased at sex stores and discreetly online, now vibrators are the hottest items to be stocked prominently at a 7-Eleven near you. Susie wonders what to make of this new acceptance by prudish corporate America, and supposes we must follow the money....

What do naked toddlers, TV's reality show The Bachelorette and premature ejaculations all have in common? They are topics up for discussion on today's show. And in our featured story, Susie looks at an article by fellow sexpert Cory Silverberg called "Why I Love Premature Ejaculation". What?

Susie was recently a guest lecturer in a grad-school classroom where she was asked about the history of the feminist divide on pornography. This brought back old memories, including one in particular about how the famous radical writer Andrea Dworkin disagreed with Susie's view on pornography. Dworkin agreed with those who linked violence against women to porn. And back in the 1970s, she responded to an article Susie wrote about fisting. Dworkin wrote that if women were hurt because they tried Susie's violent idea of sex, then...Susie should be arrested!

Think Larry Flint sells the most porn in the country? On this week's Front Page Susie Bright says think again - some of the biggest and best-known companies are beaming porn into a hotel room near you. In her What's New in Books and Movies about Sex, Susie critiques porn director Andrew Blake's movies while watching them with the director himself. And, from her Try this at Home mailbag, Susie answers a question from a woman who wonders if her rape fantasies are abnormal.

[Contains explicit content] In this 2005 show, Susie takes a close look at testosterone therapy and analyzes the results of a "Bisexual Men Don't Exist" survey. Then, from the mailbag: "Can doctors be sued for malpractice if they ruin your sex life?"

Susie talks this week with Scarlett Fever, a Best American Erotica contributor and a former Times Square stripper/bartender. In this remarkable interview, Scarlett shares some tips of the trade, from how to develop your own dancing style to spotting a man with money and hustling him out of that cash before the night is over. Scarlet is currently writing her memoir. Then, in her mailbag, Susie reveals her long-time desire to be a robot babe.

There's a segment of the population who call themselves "asexual". Susie's not buying it! She says everyone has sexuality in their DNA. Now, for those who claim "not me", Susie reads from an article about asexual ants, and how they're actually total whores! Although the research into Mycoceourus smithii looked at first like it was a species that could reproduce without sex, it turns out that, when later dissected, the queen ant was covered in sperm.

In this frank and intimate program, Susie Bright delves into the secrets of our true desire, providing an "erotic manifesto that is a call for everyone to reclaim sexuality, cast off sexual shame, and overcome repression."

Today, Susie has an interview with Eric Schaefer, author of Sex Scene: Media and the Sexual Revolution. Professor Schaefer teaches at Emerson College in the Visual and Media Arts Department. His new book looks at exploitation and sexploitation within films, tabloids, novels, and audio recordings. Chapters include "Wet Dreams", "Porn Goes to College", "Beefcake to Hardcore", and "33 1/3 Sexual Revolutions Per Minute", to name a few. Susie and Eric discuss the origins of X ratings, Jane Fonda's movie orgasms, Swedish erotica, Russ Myer's nudies, and more.

Why is a new AIDS preventative pill under attack? Truvada has been dubbed a party drug by conservatives, who see it as an aid to continuing risky sex, rather than something to help people with HIV. Susie reads from Out magazine's article "Why I Am a Truvada Whore". This tongue-in-cheek story shows how mixed up the debate is and likens the fear of HIV protection to the 1960s-era fear of giving birth-control pills to unmarried couples.

Susie starts off today's show with a sexy topic: European accounting! Okay, if that doesn't turn you on, you're not alone - but Bloombergview.com reports that the European Union wants to cash in on prostitution, drugs, and other illicit businesses to help boost GDP. These "shadow economies" are being scrutinized and may be forced to join national statistical accounting systems. Susie looks at how the underground world, although illegal, may help these countries' overall numbers to look good on the books.

Susie asked listeners to send in ideas for topics she should cover as she writes a story about sex for AARP. What is important to talk about regarding sex for the over-50 crowd? The response was overwhelming; you all had much to say, and Susie highlights one listener's letter.
