Showing results by narrator "Susie Bright"

In this excerpt from In Bed with Susie Bright, Susie interviews Yale psychologist Paul Bloom about his fascinating best-selling book How Pleasure Works: The New Science of Why We Like What We Like. Paul and Susie talk about the pleasures of sex and how we perceive them.

Susie Bright interviews Jillian Lauren, author of Some Girls: My Life in a Harem. Lauren talks about her incredible real-life experience “auditioning” for the harem of Prince Jefri of Brunei.

Susie has a show from 2014 for you to enjoy, featuring a juicy and complex epistle from her "Try This at Home" mailbag. Actually, there are two letters from a married couple who want to try an open marriage. They corresponded separately, detailing their concerns and desires. You’ll hear why the wife wants more, and then how the husband is excited but nervous about going from vanilla to raspberry chocolate pistachio and butter brickle with a cherry on the top.

Are you ready to really spice things up? Susie wants to tell you about the best new sex toys in her toy box! Everyone’s favorite vibrator, the Hitachi Magic Wand, has come up with a new and improved version. Then there's the Njoy - a dildo that will fondle your G-spot or prostrate in a way you’ve never imagined. And to top off the list: Eva, a wearable, hands-free vibrator that will turn your vanilla sex into a banana split with all the toppings.

Susie looks at a new study showing why Americans are having less sex then ever. Next, a map that shows all the names given to syphilis before it was "syphilis" doubles as a guide to national prejudice. And finally, it's "New on Audible": a very special edition of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale.

Today's show will reveal everything you ever wanted to know about the illustrious G-spot. Over the years, Susie has written books, interviewed authors, and answered many listener questions about just what the female G-spot is. She's compiled many of her best segments on squirting, masturbating, and how to find the G-spot from five years of In Bed discussions. So sit back and relax if you can, because this 80-minute special is bound to excite and will certainly get you hot. Feel free to take notes!

On this week's In Bed, Susie takes a look at the new book Scary Old Sex by Arlene Heymen. This new short-story collection gets into the intimate details of sex after 60. Next, it's invasion of the hens! Provincetown gay bars are being overrun by bachelorettes.

On this week's In Bed, Susie talks to writer Charlotte Shane. Her recent article for Fusion, "The Painful Truth About Tight Vaginas", broke down cultural expectations and shed light on the harm done by Kegels.

On this week's In Bed, Susie talks to author Victoria Bynum. Her book The Free State of Jones turns the narrative of slavery and rebellion in the South on its ear, and explores the legacy of miscegenation still being worked out today. It was made into a major motion picture starring Matthew McConaughey, which will be released in June.

On this week's In Bed, Susie talks about a London-based company called Killing Kittens and its unusual boast: that it provides events for "the world's sexual elite". Jenna Sauers wrote an article in Marie Claire about just such a gathering in Long Island's exclusive Hamptons. Fifty guests were invited to a mansion on the beach for potential swinging and sexcapades. But what actually happened.... Well, Susie thinks this party was way too tame.

What happens when your partner is in the mood and you're not? It's called maintenance sex, and it's been making headlines lately. Susie reads from a Jezebel.com article by Tracy Moore that gives some how-to tips for doing what many call "duty sex". Actress Amy Poehler does it, sex educator Dan Savage does it, and Susie has a lot to say about why maintenance sex is so controversial.

Public libraries offer all kinds of book genres, and yes, they also carry porn! Susie starts today's show off with a look at the New York Public Library's extensive erotica collection. In the past, the library classified all racy materials with a triple star (***), which meant you could only view them under supervision. But now many pulp fictions and hidden treasures have been liberated and are more accessible. What fun to peruse vintage erotic Japanese imagery or read Henry Miller's typewritten manuscript for Tropic of Capricorn. Time to renew your library card!

A landmark court ruling in Japan has stated that, since prostitution in their country is a business transaction, wives can't claim it as adultery. So why is this a big deal? Japanese wives are entitled to monetary compensation when their husbands have mistresses. Susie is torn about this: She's sympathetic to prostitutes being able to earn their livelihoods, but this does take power away from Japanese women. The court ruling was issued...yes, by a man.

If you've ever had an illicit affair with an over-zealous romantic sucker, you know you've got to learn how to cover up the evidence.

On this week's In Bed, Susie talks about whether changing the language we use for porn can change the porn we use. And from the mailbag: a letter from a listener in prison.

On this week's In Bed, Susie has an intimate conversation with author Juan F. Thompson, son of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. "This is more like a conversation with a friend than a journalist," Juan says. They both learned a great deal from each other. Susie was a friend of Hunter's. Juan was the one person Hunter trusted completely. They talk about the nitty-gritty of Hunter's struggles with writing, his sexual point of view, what it meant to him to be a man in full, and living up to a mythic, impossible reputation.

Susie's guest this week is Esther Perel, author of the bestselling, Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic and the Domestic. In this fascinating interview, Esther and Susie compare notes on what type of advice works for couples that are experiencing bed death. Esther says too many people forget they have to do their part to keep sex alive within long term relationships, including respecting your partner's sex life that's independent of the relationship.

Happy New Year! Susie is off this week, but she has a very special interview to share with you from 2010. We'll be talking with best-selling author Christopher Ryan about his book Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships. This anthropologic look into myths versus sexual realities offers up a great dialog. Christopher and Susie discuss whether jealousy is an animalistic urge or can be controlled, how far back monogamy goes in our species, and why so many marriages become dysfunctional.

On this week's In Bed, Susie asks why the New York Times wants to rewrite Soul on Ice - but no one wants to address the Great White Cuckolding. Next, from the mailbag, is it "cheating" if someone in a polyamorous relationship forgets to mention they "stepped out"?
