Publisher's summary
Today Susie shares some interesting facts about Iran and how that country is dealing with infertility. She reads from "The Islamic Republic of Baby-Making", a foreignpolicy.com article. Sunni and Shiite alike use more than 70 clinics in Iran, which has a very high infertility rate - and these in vitro fertilization clinics (the most advanced in the world) are doing their best to change the numbers. Most interesting is how religion pops up around the practice of using a fertility clinic.
Next, Susie has a simple and fun test for you to take that will determine what your love life is really like. It doesn't involve taking off your clothes, but be prepared to be surprised - and to have a good laugh.
Finally, it's our "What's New on Audible" segment, in which Susie previews new and sexy audiobooks. This week the book is My Favorite Gay Men's Stories from the Best American Erotica. Susie compiled this collection from all of the many stories she collected for her Best American Erotica series, and she has an excerpt for you to enjoy.

There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.
