An alarming amount of deaths in the gay porn industry has Susie wondering what's going on. Today, Susie reads from a recent article in XBiz by Dan Cameron entitled "Searching for Answers". Although an X-rated gay-movie career can magnify the pressure its male stars are placed under, there have never been so many suicides as in the past 17 months. Susie looks at the role inadequate health care has played in the despair and what the industry needs to do to help these troubled souls.

Susie spends the entire show in a retro mode. If you think the TV show Mad Men is hot, well Susie has a circa 1964 "how-to pick-up gays" pamphlet that rivals that show for sex appeal - from the underground. The Beginners Guide to Cruising is a serious how-to manual written by George Marshall. It offers pointers on everything from etiquette to the tools needed to attract a young gay man.

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.

It's enough to keep Susie up at night. She's worried that President Bush's choice to head the Food and Drug Administration's panel on women's health - Dr. W. David Hager - will be more concerned with a woman's relationship with Jesus than her body. Then, Susie offers her list of specific ways to improve your sex life on campus this semester, starting immediately! And, in her mailbag, Susie reads a follow up letter from a man who's proud to say he walked naked among strangers and lived to tell the tale.

Susie is away today, but here's a great show from 2015 that starts with a light-hearted look at "vagina steaming". What? According to actress Gweneth Paltrow, you "sit on essentially a mini-throne and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleans your uterus." Next, Susie looks at why the millennial generation is much more prudish then genXers.

Susie calls it from north of the border - the inauguration, the protests, the threat of martial law. What did it look like from the outside? Then, from the mail bag: two 30-year-old men who've never been kissed and want to know how to talk to women.

On this week's In Bed, Susie pulls on her thigh-high boots to wade into the cesspool at the bottom of the Oakland Police Department. The scandal includes cops pimping teenage hookers and a murder-suicide that spilled all the beans. One prostitute is not holding back. What does her story tell us? Then, a married math professor has fathered 22 children through unofficial sperm donations, sometimes delivered in a Target men's room.

The Internet site dailydot featured a recent article with the headline, "Sex-positive female masturbation app rejected from App Store". This caught Susie's attention big-time. While the store offers many other apps that could be considered offensive, Susie wonders what's so bad about this game called Happy PlayTime, in which a cartoon vulva teaches women how to get comfortable with their clitorises. Seems like outright, blatant sexism.

Susie is off this week but wants to share a great show from 2008 with you. This a must-listen-to primer for anyone interested in spicing up his/her sex life. Susie takes us from how to participate in kinky, successful three-way sex to the opposite extreme of how to achieve orgasm in the traditional missionary position. We have something for everyone today! Susie starts off with all the variations available when participating in a threesome. She explains the different dynamics involved when it's two girls and one guy compared with two guys and one girl, or what to expect if it's all girls!

This week we present the birth of a blue-movie critic. It's a look into how Susie went from being what Roger Ebert called an "innocent lesbian virgin" to the Pauline Kael of porn. She tells us about being hired by Penthouse Forum to write a pocket-sized journal focusing on sexy words rather than sexy pictures as she reviewed X-rated films. Our young Susie got a first-hand look into the world of porn movies, and oh what stories she has to tell!

[Contains explicit content] Here at In Bed if someone describes you as having "a dirty mind", we call that a compliment. Susie's guest today, author Nicholson Baker, has been defined that way and in many more. The New York Times called him the "mad scientist of smut". Susie and Nicholson discuss his steamy book House of Holes - a book of raunch, filled with fantasy and wild pleasures. Among the outrageous scenes: what happens when want to exchange your right arm for a gigantic penis.

[Contains explicit content] Today's show features two letters from a married couple who want to transform their monogamous relationship into an open marriage. They each sent Susie a letter separately, detailing their concerns and desires. You'll hear why the wife wants more, and then, how the husband is excited but really nervous about going from vanilla to raspberry chocolate pistachio and butter brickle with a cherry on the top. "Can our marriage change this drastically and survive?" Susie has many thoughts and some advice.

A young soldier, wounded by a bomb blast in Afghanistan, will soon be the first recipient of a penis transplant. Missing limbs are common because of war, but genital damage is a "hidden wound". If this operation is successful, many more veterans will receive new genitals. Susie reads from a New York Times article by Denise Grady, who reports that this is intended only for military vets. But Susie wonders when doctors will offer this kind of operation to transgender people.

For anyone who lived through the 1980s AIDS crisis, watching friends dying, like the apocalypse had arrived, it seems unthinkable that today's students don't know about this recent history. December 1 was World AIDS Day. Susie starts off today's show with a discussion about why the younger generation doesn't know about the real trauma of HIV/AIDS. She reads from an article by a college professor who explains that his students think that AIDS happens to "others", who they then marginalize and write off. Wrong!

When ISIS released its manifesto following the Paris bombings, Susie found their obsession with "prostitution" and "vice" a key insight into their twisted sexual revenge fantasies.

Free-market conservatives are actively strategizing on shutting down the government, based on fighting birth control. What's their end game? Susie is fascinated by these Republican lawmakers and has wondered why they are so adamant about getting their way. Reading from Amanda Marcotte's article in The Guardian, Susie covers the major points that make the right wingers so upset with Planned Parenthood's clientele. It has to do with being angry at people who are low-income, female, unmarried, and having kids.

You've heard of Anaïs Nin, the free-spirited feminist intellectual, but have you heard of Bern Porter? Susie starts of today's show with a look at one man's wild recounting of his supposedly wild sex life with Nin.

Susie is thrilled to hear that HBO is using “intimacy coordinators” on set - someone who knows the common pitfalls and needs of filming sex scenes. Next, a pre-lubed condom claims to last 1,000 thrusts. And finally, New on Audible, Acid Dreams offers a cultural history of LSD.

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.
