Publisher's Summary

[Contains explicit content] Susie invites you to enjoy an interview from 2012 with one of her favorite authors. In Hanne Blank's Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality she delves into the history of how hetero was created and marketed around the time of World War II. Susie and Hanne talk about heterosexuality as a middle-class notion, medical science, and understandings about sexuality. Is there really a gay brain versus a straight brain? They also riff on why we don't see Viagra ads for anal sex. Then, from the mailbag, Susie has a question from a curious-but-cautious female listener: "What's the diff between men and women topping each other?"
