Susie is off this week and wants you to enjoy a show from 2006…. Susie speaks with her old friend, photographer Phyllis Christopher, and remembers the first time she received a package of S&M photos from an unknown woman in Buffalo, New York, more than two decades ago. Phyllis talks about what inspires her, how she became a pioneer in capturing images of women's sexuality, and much more.

Susie is off this week and wants you to enjoy this show from 2007…. We start off with the true story of one U.S. senator's diaper fetish - he's our kinky hypocrite of the week! Then, in Part One of a two-part interview, Susie talks with feminist author Katha Pollitt, who's been writing about feminism for decades and is perhaps best known for her Nation magazine column "Subject to Debate".

It's almost Valentine's Day, and Susie's sending out a big smooch to you. Her motto on this romantic holiday is "Love the One You're With". And for those of you who are single - flirt. If you're in the middle of a breakup, purge. Valentine's Day is for everyone, no matter where your love life currently abides.

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!

A new book has unleashed a media frenzy about one mother's controversial way of raising her kids. Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother by Amy Chua reveals some extreme demands she places on her daughters. She expects perfection in everything! On today's show, Susie takes a look into the sexual-developmental side effects this kind of parenting may have on kids. Susie equates the lack of pleasure and self-determination to a post-puberty future of despair and denial. Wow, what's a parent to do?

Dildo alert! Are you at risk because of the materials used to make dildos? Susie reads from an article by Cory Silverberg who thinks this warning about the chemical phthalates used in dildos is overblown.

With the Academy Awards just around the corner, Susie looks at what has prompted some heated debates over the sex scenes in one of the nominated movies: Black Swan. Watching Natalie Portman masturbate and orgasm was hot to watch, but for some women, it caused a stir about the best way to get off. Susie says as long as you come, why criticize the method?

Susie is off this week but wants you to enjoy the second part of a 2007 interview with feminist author Katha Pollitt. Pollitt's been writing about feminism for decades and is perhaps best known for her Nation magazine column "Subject to Debate". Susie and Katha talk about abortion and how abortion clinics are full of judgmental women. Why do women need to feel so bad when abortion is legal?

Today's show takes a quick look at why and how sex education has evolved in the United States. Susie reads from an article in Newsweek that featured a story written by Johanna Cornblatt. Going back to the 1800s, we see the same worries about "evil" sex and plans to control the young, just as with today's abstinence-only sex-ed. The article is full of strange and fun historical facts, including warnings about syphilis, prostitutes, the 1960s sexual revolution, and HIV and AIDS.

A man posts a personal sex ad on Craigslist. No problem, right? Except this guy is a teacher, and it seems his private life is not private. After a complaint to the police from an anonymous caller, our teacher removed the ad. But it didn't end there; he was fired. Susie finds the decision of the court over this case to be so misguided, she's breathing fire. She looks at what they called "vulgar" and "inappropriate" and calls the firing a witch hunt by repressed men who are holier then thou.

Susie has been busy traveling around the country on her new book tour. Her memoir Big Sex, Little Death is out in the stores, and today Susie offers some stories from the road. Beginning in Detroit, she recounts some shocking indiscretions at her first stop. Think designer dresses and Opium! Then, from Michigan to New York City, baby, where sex celebrities and no sign of a recession greeted her. Oh, NYC can be so glamorous and kinky!

It's Part 2 of our annual look at the top sex stories of 2010. This week we continue to look at the headlines that made a sexual splash....

Happy New Year! Susie starts off today's show with a list of her personal New Year's resolutions. And, surprise, her list is all about sex. Susie has talked about the male penis enlarger and how that sounds pretty interesting; now she's recently found out about a device for women: a clitoral pump enlarger. Research is essential, and Susie will tell us all about her findings. Then, in our ongoing "Tell Me Your Sex Story" segment, Susie herself decides it's her turn to get into the sexual confession booth.

Susie is off this week and wants you to enjoy a show from 2006.... Susie loves answering sex questions so much that she's grabbed a letter of the Dear Abby type to answer. A husband asks how many men it's okay for his wife to have slept with before they married, and Susie is just dying to give the honest response to the question of how much cock is too much. Then, Susie is lusting after a new pair of special street-walking platforms that have cameras, speakers, and even GPS locators in the heels.

As Susie reaches for a tissue, she has an important question for you: Sex and the flu bug - do orgasms help you get better, faster? Is getting down and working up a sexy sweat good for the sinuses, or is rest really what you need? It's flu season, and inquiring groins want to know. Susie says, "Why not grab a cup of tea and sit back while we think about sex as a medicinal aid?"

Today's show starts off with a sexual thumbs up nod to Canada. The Canadian courts now say whores have a right to run a lawful business. While prostitution in Ontario has been technically legal, it's never meant that sex workers were protected. Now that's changed, and prostitutes can call the police and report a bad client. This oldest profession is a dangerous one, and this new ruling lessens the risk of violence from disgruntled Johns. This is the biggest sex story of the year!

In our ongoing "Tell me your Sex Story" Susie asks nosy, personal questions to one of our willing listeners. This week "William" said to his wife of 20 years…I want more sex and more fun. The results are surprising. Can a man be polyamorous without the consent of his wife?

Those crazy American evangelicals are at it again. Always trying to tell everybody else what to do, they've now decided to save Chinese teenagers from becoming sinners. Yes, it's true, the abstinence program heads to Bejing! Well, Susie has a few words to say about all this. It seems that the group Focus on the Family is behind attempts to convert the entire planet to saying "just say no" to sex before wedlock.

In our "Tell me your Sex Story" segment, Susie again asking a willing listener those nosy, personal questions. This week "Juliette" gets into the sexual confession booth and talks about her strict Catholic upbringing and how that affected her when she lost her virginity. She and Susie discuss masturbation and the church, working in the fitness industry, and who gives the best head - men or women?

Susie presents two very different attitudes about sexual mores in today's show. On one side, we're too bored to have anything to do with sex, and on the other, we can't get enough - never say no and have no regrets. Starting off, Susie reads from a recent Op-Ed article in the New York Times from guest contributor Camille Paglia. The reason middle-class Americans aren't having sex, says Paglia, is because Main Street USA has become frigid, androgynous, and sanitized.
