[Contains explicit content] From 2009: Susie tackles a medical concern on the mind of many guys: Does jacking off cause prostrate cancer?

Susie turns to fellow sex advisor Cory Silverberg to learn more about prostrate research, but the findings are…inconclusive. So Susie says let's not give up on masturbation just yet!

[Contains explicit content] In today's show, from 2013, Susie has a provocative interview with Jesse Bering, author of Perv: The Sexual Deviant in All of Us. His book takes a candid look at why we all have some perversion - and explains why being sexually deviant isn't as bad as we think. Susie and Jesse discuss the science behind sexuality, some famous and historically significant people who were outliers, and the difference between safe and harmful kink.

A small town in Colorado has been shaken by the so-called discovery of a "teen sexting ring". And to make matters worse, the football team runs it. Parents, cops, and teachers are at a loss about how to deal with this. When following the letter of the law, minors sending indiscrete photos are considered to be child pornographers. Ouch!

Susie speaks with Harriet Lerner, author of The Dance of Anger. Harriet has a new book out called Marriage Rules that tackles the sexual hot spots of long-term relationships.

From "he won't talk" to "she doesn't want to have sex", it's all covered, with handy rules to make life together work again in the bedroom.

[Contains explicit content] In this 2005 show, Susie's guest is Ian Kerner, the best-selling author of Be Honest - You're Not that Into Him Either and She Comes First. With years of personal and clinical experience between them, Susie and Ian debate the sexual dilemmas facing women and men these days - everything from dating, marriage, porn, body image, and much, much more. Then, Susie and Ian respond to a mailbag question from a woman who says she feels like her sex life has become one big performance.

Oh, really? There's a rumor going around of a bright-orange, phallic shaped, Hawaiian mushroom that triggers spontaneous orgasms when women sniff it. That sounds great, says Susie - except that this is hogwash! Every few years, a different story about a new erotic aphrodisiac pops up, and sorry to say, it's just hype.

This week Susie makes up for some lost time talking about two recent sex related news stories - the recent HIV outbreak in the porn industry and the sexual humiliation tactics used at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad. Then, in her mailbag, Susie offers some shopping tips for a straight man who wants to give anal sex a try.

It's our annual look at the Top Sex Stories of 2010. Susie loves to remember the most outrageous events from last year and to tote up how many news stories had to do with sex. She's always surprised by what made the headlines. This year's list ranges from the Sexting craze to the end of Craig's List sex ads - and more!

Sex and Politics have always gone hand in hand. On today's show, Susie looks at the Tea Party's sexual agenda and how it may affect us all. The Tea Party members are ready for battle to make sure that their far-right viewpoint is heard. Oh boy, let's brace ourselves for a return to some old-fashioned values - and we're not talking about being a good Pollyanna; we're talking about making sure Pollyanna doesn't speak up, get out of line, or have a differing opinion.

The infamous Seattle schoolteacher who, at age 35, had an affair and got pregnant by her seventh-grade student is making headlines again. Susie takes a look at the bizarre life of Mary Kay Letourneau, who spent seven years in prison for having sex with a minor.

[Contains explicit content] In this 2004 show, Susie's guest is Veronica Vera, founder and dean of Miss Vera's Finishing School for Boys Who Want to be Girls and the author of Miss Vera's Cross-Dress for Success.

On this week's In Bed, Shulem Deen, author and narrator of All Who Do Not Return, describes abandoning a Hasidic cult in which, on his wedding night, he knew how to broker a real-estate deal in ancient Babylon - but didn't know the fundamentals of how babies get made.

[Contains explicit content] The Mormon Church has a video manual for teaching kids about porn - and it's the slickest thing yet. Mormon actors teach parents "what to do" — with unexpectedly comic results — when their kids encounter pornography. The slick PSA has gone viral, but not without generating a few questions about youthful curiosity and how to not upset the Holy Ghost. Non-believers may find themselves clutching their pearls!

Susie is under the weather this week but wants you to enjoy an episode from 2012, when she invited one of her favorite writers to join the show. Hanne Blank is the author of Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality, in which she delves into the history of how hetro was created and marketed to people around the time of World War II. Susie and Hanne talk about heterosexuality being a middle-class notion, medical science and the understanding of sexuality, and if there really is a gay brain versus a straight brain.

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.

In the this-can't-be-true department, Susie has a real doozy: a guy who calls himself the Double Dick Dude who recently proved that, yes, he really does have two penises. The website Reddit.com features a online forum where unusual people answer questions from subscribers. Double Dick spent a few days there answering a lot of enquiries and quickly became a sensation. Really. Can you imagine? Susie reads some of the questions and responses, and thinks you will fall madly in love with our new Lord and Master.

America's latest sex scandal doesn't involve Republican lawmakers or children forced into prostitution. No, it's all about monster porn! You know, books that depict sexy encounters with bigfoot, serpents, aliens, or just about any potentially dangerous big dude. This is a fantasy genre that is bringing in the big bucks.

Today's show features a lot of talk about anal sex. Doesn't that sound sexy, raunchy, and good? But first Susie starts out looking at a new audiobook that's an erotic classic: The Marketplace by Laura Antoniou. Susie loves this book! The story is kind of a mash-up: The Story of O meets the smart girl who's into BDSM. This is going to get hot! Next, it's another edition of “Tell Me Your Sex Story”, in which we invite a “regular folks” listener into Susie's sexual confession booth to tell all about her or his sex life....
