Susie was recently a guest lecturer in a grad-school classroom where she was asked about the history of the feminist divide on pornography. This brought back old memories, including one in particular about how the famous radical writer Andrea Dworkin disagreed with Susie's view on pornography. Dworkin agreed with those who linked violence against women to porn. And back in the 1970s, she responded to an article Susie wrote about fisting. Dworkin wrote that if women were hurt because they tried Susie's violent idea of sex, then...Susie should be arrested!

Susie starts off today's show with a remembrance of Helen Gurley Brown. Back in the 1960s, Brown, ahead of her time, offered up the idea that single women liked sex and should have a lot of it. She went on to become the editor of Cosmopolitan, where she was the first to bring titillating images and headlines to women's magazine covers. Susie plays a radio interview of Brown as she talks with conservative talk-show host Joe Pyne.

Susie starts off today's show with an article from the New York Times. It seems more women are looking for an over-the-counter libido fix. Sales of all kinds of gels, oils, and vibrators have become mainstream. A walk down any pharmacy aisle in the "intimate lifestyle" section (often right by the Band-Aids) reveals extraordinary choices for starting up women's mojos again. Susie says okay, not bad, but why buy all the hype? Vegetable oil and good old fashioned foreplay can be a less expensive way to find the sweet spot again.

On today's show, Susie looks at a common first-timer's fear: What does a virgin need to know about how sex "feels" versus how masturbation feels? Seems like some very worried newbies have performance anxiety about their first encounter. That's a good thing, says Susie, and she has some advice that her friend, sex expert Cory Silverberg, recently offered on About.com.sex: Keep exploring on your own. Having sex with yourself is a great warm-up act that can really prepare you. The bottom line is that masturbation is great and can help you find some great moves too!

Teenagers are having less sex these days, and teen pregnancy is down. This all sounds pretty good, right? Susie begs to differ and looks at the real reasons behind the statistics. A recent article by Amy T. Schalet in The New York Times got Susie thinking about what's changed for boys. What role has religion, abstinence-based sex education, and Internet pornography played in boys wanting love, not just sex?

It's that time again: time to look at sex in the movies from 2011. Susie finds that Hollywood had a mostly celibate year. So what happened? Susie thinks the mainstream left all the good, juicy stuff to porn and indie filmmakers. But she remembers a few great scenes from last year that involved Ryan Gosling and his incredible abs, and Kristen Dunst baring it all. Now that was hot!

This week we present the birth of a blue-movie critic. It's a look into how Susie went from being what Roger Ebert called an "innocent lesbian virgin" to the Pauline Kael of porn.

Our young Susie got a first-hand look into the world of porn movies, and oh what stories she has to tell!

Move over FEMA, Susie's ready to roll up her sleeves and help out the Gulf Coast.

It's true! Susie coached Breaking Bad's "Walter White" (Bryan Cranston) on the proper way to do an erotic love scene. It was 1994, and Susie was working on a movie as a writer. She was asked to help two actors who were rehearsing a very steamy scene. Susie remembers how sweet and gentlemanly Bryan Cranston was back then. She kept giving him pointers on how to get nastier and sexier. Looks like Susie's coaching really helped him to find his inner Walter.

On Today's show, Susie speaks with comedian and author Lizz Winstead, co-creator of The Daily Show and radio's Air America. Lizz has a new biography out: Lizz Free or Die. In this first of a two-part interview, she and Susie talk about what it was like growing up in a strict Catholic household. What happens to a wise-cracking young girl who knows that both having sex and using birth control are sins? Answer: she decides that if she doesn't use protection, she's only committing one sin instead of two!

Today, Susie talks to an In Bed listener about what it's really like being a first-year medical student and what he's learning about helping patients with sexual issues.
