The good news: gay marriage is making revolutionary gains. The bad news: abortions and birth control pills are harder to come by. Susie takes a look at the legal battles over reproductive rights and marriage equality to see what lessons we can learn from the court cases. At the heart of the issue is whether privacy trumps equality - or is it the other way around?

Does the term "forcible rape" make your head spin sideways? Why is sexual sadism the new black in US politics? Susie delves into that issue this week - and she is spitting mad. In our current political arena, there's a new kind of pervert: the lawmaker who's a sadistic, vicious psycho who isn't afraid to defend his position. He feels entitled and proud of it. Outrageous! Susie reads from an article in The New Yorker called "The Legitimate Children of Rape".

Susie takes a look at how virtual porn has put the FBI on high, red, and weird alert! Susie reads an expose from investigative journalist Debbie Nathan, who spent some time learning how the American Academy of Forensic Sciences uncovers the difference between real and computer-generated child porn. Sexualized images of real children are illegal, but computer-generated images are okay, because they don't show actual kids.

It's an outdated notion that only men will pay to have sex. What has changed in the past decade that makes more women okay with paying for escorts and sexual encounters? Susie will shed some light on the "why" as she reads from an article in the Sydney Herald. Written by Matty Silver, the story uncovers the many reasons, ranging from career women wanting privacy about their sex lives, to others simply wanting an arranged tryst rather then meeting someone at a bar. Go, women, go!

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.

Susie says it's time to start telling the truth about Plan B, a.k.a. the morning after pill. Then, Susie says Good Vibrations recent decision to convert from an employee owned and run co-op to a corporation marks the end of an era, but not the end of the sex-positive message. Finally, in the mailbag, Susie has two letters from two different men who ask roughly the same question: Does what I want to do make me gay?

Susie starts off the show with a tribute to Jack Morin, PhD, author of The Erotic Mind, who recently passed away. Morin was pivotal in studying men's pleasure and advancing sex education. He also developed a survey that dealt with unlocking the inner sources of people's sexual passion and fulfillment. Susie knew Jack and took his survey years ago, finding it to be an enlightening experience. Next, another example from the stranger-than-truth department. Susie saw an ad on Craigslist that takes the cake....

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?

One of Susie's favorite writers, Ellen Willis, died earlier this month. Willis was the first pop-music critic for The New Yorker, and wrote regularly about music for Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, and more. From why feminists against pornography had it all wrong to why the first President Bush's war on drugs was misguided, Willis fearlessly faced tough social issues and Susie loved her for it.

Susie pays homage today to her mentor and friend William Harrison. He was a prolific writer and produced many books and screenplays - most notably in 1975, when his book was adapted for the film Rollerball. Susie pays tribute to Harrison by reading one of the short stories he wrote for The Best American Erotica 2000: "Two Cars in a Cornfield".

Just when you thought you've seen it all, the porn world brings us a real doosie. Breaking a taboo that makes many people uncomfortable are a pair of teenaged twin brothers who have sex together. Elijah and Milo Peters perform on camera and are becoming new gay-porn superstars. Susie looks at the reasons why these siblings might really be in love. Or is it all for the money? It's undeniably incest, but viewers are hooked. The brothers have kissed, given each other blow-jobs, and had anal sex with each other. And… they say they are in love. YouTube and other video audiences say give us more!

Susie speaks with George Mason University professor Roger Lancaster about his recent New York Times op-ed piece entitled "Sex Offenders: The Last Pariahs". Lancester, who has extensively researched the subject, talks to Susie about the harshness and ineffectiveness of sex-offender laws. Guided by panic, we've put more people behind bars - but that hasn't helped to curb or make children safer from sexual predators. Susie and Roger talk about the problems of sex-offender registries and why politicians are such cowards on this issue.

No, Susie has not suddenly developed psychic skills regarding your sex life, but she has read about a study that examines sex in the winter. She reads from Anna North's BuzzFeed.com article that details when people are having the most sex and reading the most porn, by season. The study looked into how temperatures and holidays affect the libido, as well as when most people feel especially sexy. Winter beats summer for when more kids are conceived, but guess which season makes people feel the horniest? The answer may surprise you!

Susie brings you today's show from London. And while the English may have a reputation for being well-mannered and stiff-lipped, Susie has found some very open-minded and racy Brits to talk to. First up is an interview with Dr. Petra Boynton, one of Britain's top sex educators. Petra and Susie have a lot in common, and their discussion starts out with looking at the double-standard when it comes to women watching porn.

Susie takes a look into how black and inter-racial sex videos have evolved since the 1980s. The adult video boom thrives on bringing sexual secrets into America's bedrooms, capitalizing on taboo interests. With titles like Black Chicks Do It Better and In and Out of Africa, these fringe porn movies have presented themes that at the time seemed risky but soon became the norm. Susie did some investigative reporting about why racism penetrated the porn industry.

Susie begins today's show by reading a story written by EcoWhore. This real-life sex worker lives in the wilderness and uses her van as her boudoir.

Fellow sexpert Dan Savage is in the news for his view that non-monogamy can help save marriages. Susie says hooray! But it seems that many other people disagree....

Susie has found a very sweet and funny article about what really happens at summer camps. Written by Maureen O'Connor for New York magazine's thecut.com, the story includes 10 memoirs from teenagers about their sexual awakenings while away at camp. There are fake orgasms, shared showers, and time spent with older (and hornier) camp counselors. One story recounts riding horses and really enjoying the up-and-down motion. Another describes naked swimming in a pond....
