Susie is off this week but wants to enjoy a great show from 2006. She was "in bed" that week with her old friend, photographer Phyllis Christopher. Susie remembers the first time she received a package of S&M photos from an unknown woman in Buffalo, more than two decades ago. Phyllis talks about what inspires her, how she became a pioneer in capturing images of women's sexuality, and much more.

Susie sets the record straight: anal tattoos can be fun! At a recent tattoo convention, a young woman made quite a stir as she allowed cameras to roll while she got a tattoo on her asshole. What's all the fuss about? says Susie. Tattoos are now commonplace, and it seems no body part is off limits... or maybe not. Online site Reddit.com reports that a surprisingly large number of men are offended by the idea of having your anus decorated.

A new law enacted in Los Angeles that mandates who must wear condoms is a deceptive and misguided attempt to be "helpful" in the fight against AIDS, says Susie. She talks about what this decree is really about: money and health-care fraud. It's not the porn industry that has a problem with spreading HIV; it's the poorest of poor L.A. citizens that are suffering with the escalating disease. Why aren't the legislators looking at that population and what they can do to help them? Because the porn industry is a sexy, scandalous, forbidden, and easier target, notes Susie.

The current Republican presidential candidates are not acting very Republican-like these days. A party that is known for traditional family and conservative values has been spicing it up… unintentionally. Yes, there's been a lot of talk about Open Marriage in recent days, and oh doesn't Susie think this is fun. On today's show, she reads an article from the New York Times in which several liberal sex-expert colleagues of hers discuss just what an open marriage is really all about.

Susie loves science, so today she brings you the real reason why women menstruate every month. It's not so women can have babies; it's all about self-defense when they get pregnant. What? Seems like evolution has created a maternal-fetal conflict. All the bloating, discomfort, and raging hormones are the result of nature making women ready to deal with the chance of motherhood and the real possibility that a baby will challenge a mom's status quo.

First up: Susie looks at 10 sex emergencies the iPhone can help you with. It's true, there's a new iPhone "assistant" named "Siri" who will direct you to all sorts of services, from hookers and porn shops to the closest place to score more Viagra. But there is one service she has been programmed to avoid: information about abortion referrals. Seems like blowjobs are okay to recommend, but Siri follows the ultra-conservative line when it comes to a woman's choice.

Susie is off this week, but wants you to enjoy a show from last year. This program featured another installment of "Tell Me Your Sex Story", in which Susie asks nosy, personal questions of one of our willing listeners. This week "Thomas" said to his wife of 20 years, "I want more sex and more fun." The results were surprising. Can a man be polyamorous without the consent of his wife?

Susie starts out today's show looking at a new study that has some shocking (not!) results. Bisexual men exist!!! Okay, so now science has done the research to prove that some people really are bi and not just gay in disguise. Susie looks into the methodology and tests they used, and tells us about how the study used sensors to monitor participant's erectile responses while watching various X-rated videos. Looks like the penis has spoken and can't tell a lie.

Susie is off this week and wants you to enjoy a New York City interview she had in 2007 with transgender author, playwright, and performance artist Kate Bornstein. But first, Susie tries to make sense of legislator Bob Allen's wildly irrational explanation for his arrest on sexual solicitation charges in a public restroom.

Here at In Bed, if someone describes you as having "a dirty mind", we call that a compliment. On today's show, Susie's guest, author Nicholson Baker, has been called that and much more. The New York Times even described him as the "mad scientist of smut". Susie and Nicholson talk about his steamy new book, House of Holes: A Book of Raunch. They discuss some of the book's outrageous scenes.

On today's show, Susie interviews author Adrian Colesberry. He wrote a funny how-to sex book called How to Make Love to Adrian Colesberry by Adrian Colesberry. Susie is a big fan and thinks the book is hilarious. Now he's working on another book, this time about work, empathy, and pleasure. He and Susie talk about real joy, sex advice, groupies, and some sexy science stuff.

Christmas and the holidays are a fun and festive time for many. But for incest survivors, a traditional family get-together can bring on sad feelings and emotions. Today, Susie reads from Grace Davis' Abuse Survivor's Guide to the Holidays. The book includes helpful tips, ranging from how to stay centered to staying sober to taking note of who your chosen family is. And it reminds that, as an adult, your abusive family members are part of the past!

Indiana University researchers have recently been busy looking into Americans' sexual behaviors. Susie wants to know what trends have they found. Who are we having sex with? Are we having more sex? And who is really having more orgasms? These are some of the questions polled in the researchers' Nielson-like sampling of adults.

Susie unpacks the Craig's List witch hunt that pressured the company into removing its Adult Services section from its bulletin board. Susie says that the people who ran the campaign against the popular want ads claimed they were protecting "the innocent little children", but in fact, those crusaders were more of a collection of McCarthyist hypocrites.

Ever wonder about what it takes to be a porn actress? Well, Susie just finished voicing the role of a porn star for a new audiobook, and she had a blast acting the part. In Money Shot, by Christa Faust, the main character, Angel Dare, manages to get herself into a whole lot of sexy trouble. Susie read the part with gusto! She has worked in many different aspects of the sex industry, and she offers her insight into what this story does really well, and where it captures a realistic look inside the porn business.

Susie is off this week and wants you to enjoy a show from 2005. In this show Susie tells us all about the number one Christian porn site!

In the "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie has a delightfully hot time reading a letter from a male listener who asks for help with a problem with his girlfriend. She loves oral sex, but with one condition…. And the condition almost wrecks the fun for him!

What activities are especially tough on the tongue? You guessed it…cunnilingus. A man giving nearly loses his tongue while performing oral sex. This topic came up in our weekly "Try This at Home" mailbag. Susie answers the letter, in which the listener asks for help to improve his technique and save his poor, aching tongue. Susie finds some surprising tips from doctors in an ER!

We've seen it in the movies: older guy with a hot young babe in bed, and just as they are doing it, he has a stroke. In today's show, Susie looks at the real issue of heart disease and sex, not just the Hollywood hype.

Susie has a beef with a story that claims that Iceland is the world's most feminist country. Why? Because they say they banning strip clubs is pro-feminist. And Susie says wait a minute!
