The bulk of this week's show is dedicated to a recent article that recently appeared in the New York Times called "Long After Kinsey, Only the Brave Study Sex" by Benedict Carey.

Sex Educator Tristan Taormino is making a documentary about sex fantasies, and he's been looking for a second opinion about a scene that may be too taboo, so Susie offers her reaction. The drama is fine, says Susie, but it got her wondering why the fantasy rape depicted in the movie was seen as going too far. Susie compares what's forbidden in the porn industry versus mainstream Hollywood, and the results are surprising. Who do you think is more prudish?

Susie's guest this week is former Penthouse editor, Lavada Nahon. Lavada reveals the truth behind some of the magazine's best-known columns, including Penthouse Letters.

Susie and Lavada worked together on an erotic collection called Between the Sheets, which is available at audible.com®.

Every parent's pride and joy over having a baby also ushers in a whole new dynamic in the bedroom. When do we have sex? How do we have any privacy?

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.
