Imagine a place that exists for the sole purpose of providing sexual pleasure for women. Is this a crazy episode of Star Trek? No, it's a San Francisco-based organization, recently in the news, called One Taste.

Today we feature an interview with a man whose job it is to pleasure women. Imagine what fun it might be to be a vibrator designer.

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!
