Susie starts off today's show with a remembrance of Helen Gurley Brown. Back in the 1960s, Brown, ahead of her time, offered up the idea that single women liked sex and should have a lot of it. She went on to become the editor of Cosmopolitan, where she was the first to bring titillating images and headlines to women's magazine covers. Susie plays a radio interview of Brown as she talks with conservative talk-show host Joe Pyne.

Michael Jackson is pleading innocent to seven felony counts of child molestation, but Susie says it's time for Jacko and his family to finally admit to the abuse that's driven him to Neverland and beyond. Then, Susie is shaking her head in disbelief about a recent case in Texas where a woman was charged with obscenity for selling sex toys. In her mailbag, Susie answers two letters from women - one is searching for non-annoying birth control and the second is seeking her depressed libido.

Today, Susie has the real story behind Playboy's decision to discontinue the centerfold. The world is abuzz with the news that the leading gentrifier of "girlie mags" will no longer publish nude photos. Playboy claims that their magazine has lost "shock value, commercial value and cultural relevance" due to the easy access to porn the Internet provides. Susie sees it differently: It's more about looking for more international outlets, ones that won't allow nudity but condone - and really like - titillation.

Ever wonder how women were supposed to pee, menstruate, and defecate with their chastity belts locked on and their husbands riding off to the Crusades? Well, put that quandary to bed! As revealed by a Boing Boing article that Susie discusses, the belts were a big joke in the Middle Ages. Today, men still enjoy fantasies about horny women with wild sexual appetites who must be controlled. And for women, the fantasy is "I belong to a cruel master." That's fun modern-day role playing, but actual medieval chastity belts were a myth.

Let's meet a group of women who pick up the pieces when their husbands come out. Susie reads from an article by Chadwick Moore in Out magazine that tells the stories of women dealing with their husbands' changes in sexual preference. Many of these women are devout Christians or from conservative backgrounds. They feel they should remain supportive, even at the sacrifice of their own happiness.

Susie is off this week but has a great encore show for you. She speaks with sex educator Cory Silverberg about his new book for kids: What Makes a Baby? Susie says this is a must-have for every sex-positive family. Cory's book discusses the "where do we come from" question, and he doesn't give the usual mom-and-dad or bible story. Susie and Cory talk about why most kids' books take the sugary syrupy approach to talking about sex, and they look at what kinds of families are ready for early sex education.

Susie's still laughing about a recent interview in The Harvard Crimson in which ultra-conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia explained why he's into orgies. Then, it's off to Craigslist and a personal ad with quite a headline, "I Don't Mind Sucking You Off, but Here's What I Need From You." Boys of Altanta and beyond, listen up! In the Try This at Home mailbag, Susie hears from a husband and wife seeking some hard to find porn classics.

In 1974 a horror film premiered that had moviegoers scared to death by its villain: Leatherface, a mask-wearing, chain-saw-wielding killer. Argh, how can something be so creepy and deeply disturbing - and oh so satisfying too? Susie devotes the entire show to an interview with Gunnar Hansen, the iconic star of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Today, Susie looks at one woman's plight: her beau asked for a facial cum shot on their first date. Bold move, say some. But what about the idea of getting to know each other with "regular" sex before getting too kinky? This all comes from an article in GQ magazine. Looks like pulling out and ejaculating on your date has been growing in popularity with some guys. But what do the ladies think? Susie has some ideas on why the porn-like money shots have a growing allure.

Susie speaks with George Mason University professor Roger Lancaster about his recent New York Times op-ed piece entitled "Sex Offenders: The Last Pariahs". Lancester, who has extensively researched the subject, talks to Susie about the harshness and ineffectiveness of sex-offender laws. Guided by panic, we've put more people behind bars - but that hasn't helped to curb or make children safer from sexual predators. Susie and Roger talk about the problems of sex-offender registries and why politicians are such cowards on this issue.

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!

Susie starts out today's show looking at a new study that has some shocking (not!) results. Bisexual men exist!!! Okay, so now science has done the research to prove that some people really are bi and not just gay in disguise. Susie looks into the methodology and tests they used, and tells us about how the study used sensors to monitor participant's erectile responses while watching various X-rated videos. Looks like the penis has spoken and can't tell a lie.

Today, Susie brings you Part 2 of her interview with writer Jillian Lauren, the author of Some Girls: My Life in a Harem. The secret is out; it's not an exotic and romantic lifestyle. In reality, a harem girl is more like a sex slave.

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!
