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.

Even though playing with Barbie is old hat for Susie, in this week's Front Page, she delights a recent ruling making it okay, finally, for Barbie to pose nude. Her Media Whore sites are set on the Consumer Reports for the world of porn: www.janesguide.com. And, in her Try This at Home Mailbag, Susie answers two listener questions.

Today, Susie breaks open two controversial topics: incest - and justice. She begins with the most provocative child-abuse accusation to enter the public's awareness in years - Dylan Farrow vs. Woody Allen - and ends with an argument for justice that is ageless. Susie ponders the question of what we are supposed to think when celebrities take to the press about their family abuse. Is it about money? Is it about immortality? Or is it just more of the screwed-up lives that Hollywood produces so effortlessly?

Have you heard about Transparent, Amazon's new original TV series? Susie says it's the most taboo-breaking sexuality-related TV show ever. The characters include a trans-gendering dad, a traditionally married daughter (who has just reconnected with her former girlfriend, a lesbian), a son who sleeps with a different woman every night, and the youngest daughter, who is into drugs and three-way sexcapades. Susie has been working with the cast and crew to create audio interviews that take us behind the scenes of season one, and she has a preview for you.

Today's show starts with a look into the exotic world of underwater sex - between octopuses. The octopus is a solitary creature until it's time to mate. A Scientific American blog article reveals what really happens when the creatures need to get down. In a Seattle aquarium, a pair was joined together in a very public fashion with onlookers observing 16 arms and 4,000 suckers as the couple entwined.

Are you familiar with the term "tossing salad" when it means something other than mixing the lettuce for dinner? If not, here's a vocabulary tip: hipsters use this phrase to mean eating booty, or anilingus. Susie reads from a Gawker article by Tyrone Palmer that details recent hip-hop stars' declarations of liking to "eat da booty". Citing many rappers, this article shines a positive light on what Susie says is a delightful pleasure that has been stigmatized as dirty - and as a line that shouldn't be crossed - and that means you are gay. Next, a headline: Men Who Make Virginity Pledges as Teens Struggle with Sex Once Married. Susie finds this research, from livescience.com, to be understandably true - and sad.

Today, Susie is examining sex scenes in movies, from the recent Nymphomaniac: Vol 1 to classics such as Caligula, and the truth comes out: stunt workers are having the sex. With special effects, the movie industry can make it seem like A-list stars are actually doing it, but no, says Susie - it's done by doubles who work in porn films.

Today's show is an homage to Christian Mann, an erotic-film producer who was a mentor to Susie and the producer of Edward PenisHands, the best porn parody ever! Christian was a second-generation sex-film entrepreneur. His father, Kurt Mann, created the first wrestling mags, nudie mags, and stag-film productions. Like his father, Christian went on to innovate in the adult-entertainment business around multi-cultural and black sex movies. Susie and Christian were friends, and Susie has many fun stories and memories to share with you.

Susie is totally enamored by a blog called The Honest Courtesan, written by Maggie McNeil, and we feature an interview with her today. Susie wanted to know more about how Maggie got started in the profession, as well as why she finally gave it up. In this very candid conversation, Maggie talks about working in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. And Susie asks her what the biggest myth is about prostitutes.

What do vaginas and baseball have in common? Well...it's really V-Day: a political movement to draw attention to women's rights that is celebrated on Valentine's Day - and that Susie looks at through the eyes of a sports fan. Susie goes over stats, batting averages, who's left on base, sacrifice flies, fan favorites, and more...but it's not really about baseball. Susie looks at the feminist wars, conservative movements, "I am vagina hear me roar," violence against women, and misogyny. V-Day is part of the movement, organized by Eve Ensler, called One Billion Rising.

In this week's Front Page, Susie tackles blackouts and religious doctrines.

A few shows back, Susie talked about porn star turned B-actress Traci Lords' new best selling memoir, Underneath it All. Now, Traci's sister has written to say there's another side to this seedy story. Then, what's the difference between an 18 and a 19-year-old stripper? Only Kansas City knows! In her mailbag, Susie gets the bottom of an age-old question - does condom size matter? Don't forget, you can send your sexual ponderings and confidential questions to susie@audible.com.

Why is a new AIDS preventative pill under attack? Truvada has been dubbed a party drug by conservatives, who see it as an aid to continuing risky sex, rather than something to help people with HIV. Susie reads from Out magazine's article "Why I Am a Truvada Whore". This tongue-in-cheek story shows how mixed up the debate is and likens the fear of HIV protection to the 1960s-era fear of giving birth-control pills to unmarried couples.

Susie spends the first part of today's show looking at a controversial idea that could help some very lonely people get relief. If prostitution were legal, could we avoid rampages like the recent Isla Vista massacre?

Eating pussy, muff diving, and giving head are making headlines in Toronto recently. It's not about the sex shops; it's happening at city hall. Today, Susie talks about Mayor Rob Ford's sexual adventures up in Canada. Oh, it's not been pretty - he's in a bunch of trouble with his constituents as well as the press. Next, Susie looks at Google's decision to display warnings on some popular search terms - and there are 13,000 that qualify!

On today's show, Susie talks with UK novelist and journalist Stephanie Theobald. She's working on a new book about what she calls the last taboo: masturbation. Theobald has been described as "one of London's most celebrated literary lesbians", and her work has focused on sex, sexual identity, and art.

Susie is off this week but hopes you'll enjoy this show from 2008... Can we ever have too much sex? Can we ever love someone too much? On today's show, Susie discusses the difference between healthy love and addictive love. She speaks with author Rachel Resnick about her book Love Junkie: A Memoir. The book lists three red flags that may indicate if someone is a love junkie.

Today, Susie looks at sex workers who inject drugs. That's two taboos rolled into one! Susie reads an article from a blog that interviewed both men and women escorts about their drug use. This very frank and honest discussion will debunk some stereotypical thinking - for example that it's having to engage in sex for a living that turns people into addicts. They say no. They don't mind the sex work; it's just that they like drugs. This in-depth article covers brothels, self-medication, Johns who pay with drugs instead of cash, alcohol abuse, and sex workers' rights.

Susie tackles two biggies in her Try this at Home Mailbag. She offers her list of helpful hints to a woman who would like to know what an orgasm is. Then, she answers a man whose wife says she loves him but is not "in love" with him. In her Front Page, Susie weighs in on the case of an Ohio man busted for writing fictional stories of child abuse in his dairy, and mines her experience of bedding powerful men to ponder what might have driven Chandra Levy to find Rep. Gary Condit attractive.

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.
