Showing results by narrator "Susie Bright" in All Categories

This week, Susie makes the connection between physical sports and stripping. Then, Susie laments the closing of the last peep show from New York City's revamped Times Square. She tells the story of a Big Apple trip she made, many years ago, to see strippers in Show World. In her Try This at Home mailbag, Susie answers a letter from a man who's being told he's doing everything wrong in bed.

Pulitzer Prize-winner Jane Smiley details a beautiful erotic interlude in an otherwise sordid real estate deal; Mary Gaitskill celebrates the unexpected ardor of one middle-aged couple; Steve Almond reminisces about the best one-man/three-girl Ecstasy party ever; Nelson George recounts the erotic escapades that befall a young man who accompanies a celebrity athlete when he picks up a gaggle of girls; and Carol Queen explores the joys of making love with summer fruit.

Susie begins today's show by reading a story written by EcoWhore. This real-life sex worker lives in the wilderness and uses her van as her boudoir. She was an underaged prostitute, and this tale is called "Exploitation". Next, monogamy is up for debate. Fellow sexpert Dan Savage is in the news for his view that non-monogamy can help save marriages. Susie says hooray! But it seems that many other people disagree....

Susie is off this week but wants you to enjoy a show from 2005! In this encore edition, Susie's mailbag was just overflowing with great mail, and she answered a few of the choicest letters.

Sex Researchers, Prostitutes, Sexologists, and MDs are some of the guests who talk about every sexual hot spot with Susie Bright. From masturbation and orgasms, to challenging sex games and surviving incest - no subject is taboo.

After Andrea Dworkin, the famous feminist philosopher and activist, passed away, her chief critic, Susie Bright, who many perceived as Dworkin's opposite, published a stirring obituary and series of essays in which she described the ways that Dworkin was a catalyst for the sex-positive movement in contemporary feminism.

Susie's NYC interviews are here! First up: sexual pioneer Betty Dodson, the author of the seminal Sex for One and her latest, Orgasms for Two. Now 73, Betty has been teaching women how to masturbate for decades. These days, she's hooked up with a man nearly 50 years her junior and she says the sex has never been better. In her mailbag, Susie tells what it's really like to watch porn for a living.

Sex Educator Tristan Taormino is making a documentary about sex fantasies, and he's been looking for a second opinion about a scene that may be too taboo, so Susie offers her reaction. The drama is fine, says Susie, but it got her wondering why the fantasy rape depicted in the movie was seen as going too far. Susie compares what's forbidden in the porn industry versus mainstream Hollywood, and the results are surprising. Who do you think is more prudish?

Today's show takes a quick look at why and how sex education has evolved in the United States. Susie reads from an article in Newsweek that featured a story written by Johanna Cornblatt. Going back to the 1800s, we see the same worries about "evil" sex and plans to control the young, just as with today's abstinence-only sex-ed. The article is full of strange and fun historical facts, including warnings about syphilis, prostitutes, the 1960s sexual revolution, and HIV and AIDS.

To mark its 15th anniversary, and the very last edition of the series, the top-selling erotica anthology achieves a scorching new climax with a special edition showcasing standout stories from the entire series as well as never before published pieces - plus a hot and edgy piece from Susie Bright herself.

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!

Love, sex and rock-and-roll! Well, today's show will cover two of those three topics. Here at In Bed, we always talk about sex, but today Susie also covers drugs - and it's one of the non-prescription types. It's marijuana, but with a twist; it's medical marijuana, a supposedly legal drug. We'll talk with author Wendy Chapkis about her new book Dying to Get High.

Each week Susie answers a letter from a listener. Today's show puts the spotlight on our "Try This at Home" mailbag, in which a loyal listener writes that she was bothered by a recent show when Susie spoke about the best positions for sex - but only for heterosexuals. What about us lesbians? says our letter writer. Well, Susie has a lot of great advice for everyone, so today, here they are: tips for homosexuals.

In The Best American Erotica 2001, Marge Piercy introduces us to the nerd kid sex club, Nathan Englander explores the addictive power of a peep show, Jerry Stahl relates a dare from an extremely demanding girlfriend, and Dani Shapiro proves the difference between the fantasy and the reality of losing your virginity.

Susie is safe but not sound after the terrorist attacks in NYC and Washington, D.C. The horror of these events and calls for retribution remind Susie of where her passions lie. And, speaking of passions, some of the suicide hijackers apparently spent their last night in a strip bar. This leads Susie to wonder about the sex lives of fundamentalists of all stripes. And, in her Try this at Home Mailbag, Susie advises a man whose girlfriend hates to be called "Yummy."

Bible Belt religious leaders suffered a surprising political hit in Mississippi this week. A strange referendum called the Personhood Amendment was defeated by the voters, and phew! says Susie. This group was advocating that life begins at fertilization, or with the twinkle of an eye, and they wanted to demolish current abortion-rights laws. So for now, birth control is safe - but the Personhood initiative is not going away. Susie spells out just what happened and who the big players are in this wacky group.

The lesbian sex book that rocked girls from coast to coast. Here's what lesbians really do, not what the sex cops think we ought to do.

Then, from the mailbag, Susie reads some sexy movie reviews.  

Susie is away today, but here's a great show from 2015 that starts with a light-hearted look at "vagina steaming". What? According to actress Gweneth Paltrow, you "sit on essentially a mini-throne and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleans your uterus." Next, Susie looks at why the millennial generation is much more prudish then genXers.
