The Bush White House's no-sex policies aren't just for high school classrooms anymore.

Then, Susie talks about a subject you just don't hear much about: how losing someone close to you affects your libido and sexual self. Finally, in the mailbag, Susie's holiday sex toy recommendations.

One of Susie's favorite writers, Ellen Willis, died earlier this month. Willis was the first pop-music critic for The New Yorker, and wrote regularly about music for Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, and more.

Susie takes a fascinating and thorough look this week at the reporting by The New York Times's Kurt Eichenwald. You may remember Susie has found much of Eichenwald's reporting about child pornography to be very insincere and tabloidish. Two recent stories have raised even more questions for Susie and others about how Eichenwald is accessing child pornography Web sites, and, beyond that, what his reporting means in the real world where children are being abused and exploited.

Susie is outraged about the Steubenville, Ohio, rape case - two boys raped a drunk and unconscious 16-year-old girl at a party while other partygoers tweeted and Instagrammed photos of the attack. Susie reached out to Traci Lords - the actress and musician who gained notoriety as a teenage porn star - to get the Stubenville natives' reaction to the rape. And her thoughts about it are chilling.

Susie's entire show is dedicated to one very hot story. In "What Happened to That Girl" by Marie Lyn Bernard, two men track down their long-lost foster sister (and the object of their teenage lust) to find out what she's like now that she's a porn star. This story is a sneak peak at Susie's soon-to-be-released Best American Erotica 2007.

Susie has been very busy at Audible acquiring some of the best sex books ever written and getting them produced as audiobooks. On today's show, she talks about the many titles she's found.

Susie worked with some interesting authors and has some fun stories to tell about these books.

How does the Border Control identify sex traffickers, or people coming into the country for any kind of sex? And... why is it any of their business? Susie reads an article from Laura Agustin's The Naked Anthropologist blog about sex victims and sex workers. Agustin is an authority on trafficking, and she explodes several myths: that selling sex is completely different from any other kind of work, that migrants who sell sex are passive victims, and that the multitudes of people out to "save" them are without self-interest.

On today's show, Susie invites artist Raquel Cool into the studio for an interview sure to surprise you. Cool is a performance artist whose latest installation is entitled Live Nude Eggs - and this isn't about chickens. The exhibition delves into the many aspects of Cool selling her own eggs to donors who want to get pregnant. She juxtaposes the aesthetics of a strip club and a medical center, and focuses on the transparencies of a transaction involving a donor and her eggs. Susie went to the show and loved it!
