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.

Then Susie introduces us to a sexy, must-listen audiobook: Lust in Latex: Rubber Sex Stories, edited by Rebecca Kramer Bussel. Susie loves this book because there are endless ways to combine sex and latex - some kinky, some fetish - and all of the stories are steamy hot.  

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 and Anne talk about the "culture of quiet": NGO's discouraging of women from sharing their stories, because that causes shame.

Ho, ho, ho.... Susie is off this week to celebrate the holidays. But she wants you to enjoy a show from 2008, when Susie responded to her overflowing mailbag of listener questions.

The topics vary from female ejaculation and vaginal health to how a massage can lead to getting it on. Susie also answers a letter that asks for advice about domination.

Gender and sexual identity can be a big issue for us humans. And guess what... some animals, fishes, and reptiles are queer too! Susie thinks the idea that there are gay dolphins is fascinating.

Our young Susie got a first-hand look into the world of porn movies, and oh what stories she has to tell!

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.

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.

Today's show features some juicy and complex correspondence from Susie's "Try This at Home" mailbag. There are two letters, both of which are from a married couple who want to change their monogamous relationship into an open marriage.

You'll hear why the wife wants more, and then about the husband's excitement but nervousness about going from vanilla to raspberry chocolate pistachio and butter brickle with a cherry on the top.

And it reminds that, as an adult, your abusive family members are part of the past!

Susie is outraged to hear that a middle school in Illinois has banned hugging, and she reviews a new book, 101 Nights of Grrreat Sex. She tried some of the secret seductions offered to perk up your sex life, and after the first game, her partner gave this book a big thumbs up.

In the "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie has a delightfully hot time reading a letter from a male listener who asks for help with a problem with his girlfriend. She loves oral sex, but with one condition…. And the condition almost wrecks the fun for him!
