In today's show, Susie reads from True Porn Clerk Stories a blog created by Ali Davis. The surprising details of this job are that- there is so much more to it than just swiping bar codes. Not only does our heroine check out the videos, she is expected to check out the customers as they peruse the aisles.

Today's show looks at three outcomes of sex. Does having sex promote happiness? Is prostitution really forced on women? And what happens to a wife who is denied sex?
