Written by Steven Thrasher for BuzzFeed, it's a story about a college kid who has lots of consensual, unprotected sex with other guys. Why does he become the scapegoat? He's black, and the white guys say he told them he was clean (no HIV), and he wasn't.

Today's show features a lot of talk about anal sex. Doesn't that sound sexy, raunchy, and good?

This just in from the BBC…The Orgasmatron! It is what it sounds like: a small machine that can give you endless pleasure. So why don't we all have one? Susie takes a look at the story, the device, and the doctor who invented it.
