[Contains explicit content] Susie wants to share a special show from 2004, with her special guest, her dad. In his second appearance on In Bed, linguist Bill Bright talks about his book Native American Place Names in the United States. He explains why you shouldn't call either a Native American woman or a mountain top "squaw" and gives the fascinating secret sex history of many common place names. Then, in her mailbag, Susie explains the giggles and guffaws of tickling fetishes.  

[Contains explicit content] Susie has an inmate conversation with author Juan F. Thompson, son of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Susie was a friend of Hunter's. Juan was the one person Hunter trusted completely. They discuss the nitty-gritty of Hunter's writing struggles, his sexual point of view, what being a man in full meant to him, and living up to a mythic, impossible reputation. 

[Contains explicit content] For anyone that lived through the 1980s AIDS crisis, watching friends dying like it was the apocalypse, it seems unthinkable that today's students don't know about this recent history.

Young teenager Julie is unexcited about life until she meets the swim team captain, who is trying to recruit her. It's a dare and a flirtation with many twists and family intrigues.

Koch’s It Never Goes Away: Gender Transition at a Mature Age takes an unvarnished look at gender transition in later life.

Fire up the peat and settle in with a Guinness! 

[Contains explicit content] Susie offers another listen to an interview from 2015 with author Shulem Deen. In All Who Do Not Return, he describes abandoning an Hasidic cult where, on his wedding night, he knew how to broker a real-estate deal in ancient Babylon - but didn’t know the fundamental basics of how babies get made. 

[Contains explicit content] Susie finds Victorian love in the form of a Sapphic literary couple and their successful masculine nom de plume.

[Contains explicit content] Susie finds that the phrase "use it or lose it", like many clichés, is literally true. Women who don't have sex or masturbate enter menopause earlier.

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.

A small town in Colorado has been shaken by the so-called discovery of a "teen sexting ring". And to make matters worse, the football team runs it. Parents, cops, and teachers are at a loss about how to deal with this. When following the letter of the law, minors sending indiscrete photos are considered to be child pornographers. Ouch!

[Contains explicit content] The new head of The Kinsey Institute wants to focus on relationships and well-being instead of plain old sex. Laudatory goal? Or right-wing dog whispering?

Oh, really? There's a rumor going around of a bright-orange, phallic shaped, Hawaiian mushroom that triggers spontaneous orgasms when women sniff it. That sounds great, says Susie - except that this is hogwash! Every few years, a different story about a new erotic aphrodisiac pops up, and sorry to say, it's just hype.

Susie is under the weather this week but wants you to enjoy an episode from 2012, when she invited one of her favorite writers to join the show. Hanne Blank is the author of Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality, in which she delves into the history of how hetro was created and marketed to people around the time of World War II. Susie and Hanne talk about heterosexuality being a middle-class notion, medical science and the understanding of sexuality, and if there really is a gay brain versus a straight brain.

Susie starts the show off with a look at nerds and sexual rejection. This discussion began with MIT professor Scott Aaronson, when he wrote about being traumatized as a young nerd and how that left him out of the larger world of male privilege. Challenging his thesis is Laurie Penny in NewStatesman.com, a female nerd who has a different take on oppression. It's patriarchy and anti-feminism that are the culprits here. Being bullied affects one's self esteem and sexuality, and that creates the rage, trauma, and hurt of "nerdolescence".

In 18th-century London, a man named Jack Harris published an annual guide entitled Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies, which noted the ladies' skills at prostitution. If you've ever used a Zagat or Frommer's guide, or Consumer Reports, you have an idea of how popular Harris's list must have been. Susie reads from a New Yorker article by Nicola Twilley that details how the guide evolved and who made it onto the selective list.
