The state of Indiana has put a woman in prison for 20 years on charges that she killed her fetus, and reproductive-rights activists are outraged. Susie reviews the grisly details of how this happened. The woman is Asian American, single, and from a religious Hindu family that looks down on premarital sex - a perfect storm that led her to hide her pregnancy. But when the complications of a miscarriage caused her to seek medical help, she was quickly put in jail.

Today, Susie spends the entire show speaking with legendary porn star Howie Gordon, aka Richard Pacheco. Over his career, Howie appeared in more than 100 X-rated films and videos. Susie and Howie talk about the business of making sex movies. How is your acting affected when getting an erection becomes difficult? They talk about open marriages, first loves, and the sexual liberation of the sixties.

Susie's as much a First Amendment supporter as the next sexpert, but a recent court case made her laugh. A former police officer was dismissed after his superiors learned of porn tapes which featured the officer in full uniform. The man says his free speech rights were violated but Susie's just not so sure he'll win. Randy police officers remind Susie of other uniformed sex. She reads a section of her "Story of O Birthday Party" and responds to a woman who's worried her sexual fantasies are too perverse.

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!

Happy New Year! Susie wants you to enjoy a show from 2011 today, all about joysticks for Jacks and Jills. There is a perception that gamers are all young men who spend their waking hours in their basements, secluded from the real world. But surprise, many gamers are regular people, including plenty of female devotees. Susie and erotica author (and video gamer) Shanna Germain talk about how sex finds its way into some popular titles and how to navigate a multi-player game. They also talk about why sex is considered a game "reward". And are there any queer- and bisexual-themed games?

Monica Lewinsky is back in the news. She's written a story for Vanity Fair in which she talks about her affair with President Clinton. Susie was glad to read that Lewinsky is candid about the affair being consensual. What is troubling to remember, though, is that back when this happened, Lewinsky was portrayed as a slut. Susie says there is so much more to this whole story, and she reads from an article she wrote for Ms. magazine that looks into Monica's background.

Susie is home for the holidays, but wants you to enjoy this show from 2010…. This week is Part One of a conversation with Yale psychology professor Paul Bloom about his new book How Pleasure Works: The New Science of Why We Like What We Like. Susie is intrigued to hear what Dr. Bloom has discovered about desire and what we can and can't control. Susie and Paul discuss pornography and why it is so arousing. They also talk about sperm wars and why American men have such large testicles.

Susie proclaims Viagra is the best thing to happen to birth control. Then, Susie interviews prostitute Matt Bernstein Sycamore. Matt is also the editor of Tricks and Treats and the upcoming Dangerous Families . Matt talks about what tricks want, how they ask for it, and what you learn about yourself when you're making a living as a "treat." In the mailbag, a woman wonders if a generational difference is the hallmark of incest and a man wonders if his wife is completely losing her sex drive.

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?

In a recent "Sunday Review" article in The New York Times, the headline read: "Does Porn Hurt Children?" Well, how could it not? Porn is unacceptable and must be stopped…. Hold on a minute, says Susie. First of all, Susie hates this type of headline, which is geared to rile us up. It's not a fair question, and Susie takes some time today to go over the details involved in this sensation-grabbing query. How old are the children? What specifically do you mean by "porn"? Hurt physically or mentally? Okay, let's have a serious discussion about kids and sex.

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.

Just how dirty is your local dirty bookstore? Well, if you live in San Diego, Susie says probably not very. Susie recounts her own run-ins with the San Diego vice squad to explain why some cities just can't relax about sex. Then, in Susie's home turf of Santa Cruz, she says it's harder than you'd think to get arrested for running around naked. In an extra long mailbag, Susie sets the record straight for a man whose only fantasy is being man enough for his lady love.

The Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC, is attended by many staunch political types who, it turns out, are also looking for some kinky one-night stands. After listening to fiery speeches from favorite conservatives on the convention floor, it seems the next most popular activity is finding anonymous gay sex. Susie reads from some Craigslist ads, and boy-oh-boy there was some sinning happening at the recent CPAC.

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.

On today's show, Susie interviews Anne Elizabeth Moore about her investigation of prostitutes and NGOs in Cambodia. There's more than one con game afoot. Susie has been following Anne's blog Truth Out, where she and Leela Corman have profiled, in comic-strip form, the problems of women in Cambodia. Susie and Anne talk about the "culture of quiet": NGO's discouraging of women from sharing their stories, because that causes shame.

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.
