Susie reads an article about this from The New York Times, and was intrigued to learn about the history of yoga.

Susie also discusses the highs and lows of "doing" poppers....

Susie's been taking sex surveys, and the results have her thinking about what do we really mean when we say we want to get it on?

Not only does our heroine check out the videos, she is expected to check out the customers as they peruse the aisles. A few too many shoppers, while looking at the racy cover photos, have a tendency to get physical with themselves right there in the store. Imagine the clean up on aisle three!

[Contains explicit content] From 2008: Susie looks at how Black and inter-racial sex videos have evolved since the 1980s.

Susie's investigative reporting examines why racism penetrated the porn industry.
