What is the evolutionary purpose of a woman's orgasm? On today's show, Susie ponders this question and looks at a wired.com article that called the female O a "mystery".

Well, they're against letting kids read books that have violence, sexual content, religious degradation, and foul language.

Susie says there is so much more to this whole story, and she reads from an article she wrote for Ms. magazine that looks into Monica's background.
