Susie starts off with a big question: "Who would you like to watch having sex?" Who is in your fantasy? Would it be Brad and Angelina, or would watching your neighbors do it be more of a turn on? Well, according to one of Susie's favorite fellow sexpert's, Cory Silverberg, we don't see enough regular sex.

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?

In the studio with Susie is sex educator Cory Silverberg, who writes the sex guide for About.com. Susie and Cory have a naughty and nice conversation. They don't hold back as they cover many questions about our most intimate sexual desires. In this bonus 50-minute discussion, they ponder many subjects - such as the merit of providing your teenager with a vibrator. What!

Ever lived in an apartment building where the walls are paper thin and you can hear your neighbors' every word? Imagine if they have a robust love life that includes plenty of vocals! Susie examines a situation involving a neighbor who gets so fed up that a sex war strategy emerges - and backfires. You won't believe the tactics used on apartment 517.

It's an outdated notion that only men will pay to have sex. What has changed in the past decade that makes more women okay with paying for escorts and sexual encounters? Susie will shed some light on the "why" as she reads from an article in the Sydney Herald. Written by Matty Silver, the story uncovers the many reasons, ranging from career women wanting privacy about their sex lives, to others simply wanting an arranged tryst rather then meeting someone at a bar. Go, women, go!

[Contains explicit content] Susie talks about the self worth and guts it takes to hire a prostitute when one is disabled. Next, have you ever heard of a mixed orientation marriage? And finally, it's "New on Audible": Jessica Graham's Good Sex: Getting Off Without Checking Out.

Some of the smartest erotic stories in the world just happen to be written by lesbians, women who changed the face of erotic lit. Susie Bright presents a collection of lesbian sex lives that speak fearlessly, through every taboo, without any apologies. Writers like Dorothy Allison, Lisa Montanarelli, Greta Christina, and Peggy Munson name names, get as close to any woman as they dare, and relish every deep stroke of their erotic pens….

Let's face it....good-looking politicians make Americans do crazy things. With so many sexually repressed voters out there, having a handsome black man on the opposite ticket of a dolled up real-life Barbie is too much pressure. The public is responding with Bible-thumping, taboo-wielding zeal. Today, Susie takes a look at why voters are so concerned with Obama's sex life.

Arnold Schwartznegger: actor, governor, and now… dirty rotten scoundrel. Maria Shriver and Arnold have called it quits to their marriage as the world learns of his love child with another woman. And Shriver stood by this guy for all these years? Why? Susie has some insights into their complicated relationship. She also looks at the history of this strange celebrity political family. She's not sure if Arnold will be able to fulfill his "I'll be back" promise.

Today, Susie takes a look at a recent study about monogamy and young heterosexual couples. Seems that 40% of the pairs had a problem with straight talk on exclusivity. While one partner said he or she hadn't agreed to be sexually exclusive, the other partner thought they had. Wow! That's a lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding in some intimate relationships. Susie wonders if taking a different approach to talking about commitment, love, and trust may help these couples find agreement.

It's the second part of Susie's rare interview with porn star Jamie Gillis. Jamie talks about how his family supported his work and what porn stars know about getting themselves off that other people don't.

Don't forget, you can send your confidential questions, feedback about the show, and requests for girly cards to susie@audible.com.

Susie starts off today's show with a labyrinth of ethical questions concerning a caregiver and a client falling in love. A professor of ethics at Rutgers University became involved with a severely disabled man while she was working with him. He could not speak, and she used "facilitated communication" - keyboard typing, with physical assistance from the professor - as a way for him to communicate. She thought they were falling in love. But his family thought differently.

What is the evolutionary purpose of a woman's orgasm? On today's show, Susie ponders this question and looks at a wired.com article that called the female O a "mystery". If an orgasm isn't necessary to procreate, why does it exist biologically? Men need an orgasm to produce semen, so the science makes sense, but what about women? Is the fairer sex entitled to pleasure just for a bonus, for fun and feeling good? So many questions… but here comes Susie to the rescue.

They thought she'd be easy. They thought wrong. It all began with the phone call asking former porn star Angel Dare to do one more movie. Before she knew it, she’d been shot and left for dead in the trunk of a car. But Angel is a survivor. And that means she’ll get to the bottom of what’s been done to her, even if she has to leave a trail of bodies along the way….

[Contains explicit content] It's our last show after 22 years—ones of the longest-running podcasts in show business! In Bed set the tone for so much of what podcasting has come to mean: authenticity, intimacy, and saying what can't be said anywhere else.

[Contains explicit content] Susie has found a questionnaire that you won't want to miss: The National Casual Sex Survey. Here's a chance to see just how many Americans have had what's commonly known as a one-night stand. The survey is specific to sex that intentionally takes place without any kind of commitment, and you'll love the questions. Next, we continue with our listener interviews segment "Tell Me Your Sex Story". This week, Susie speaks with a quiet but steamy high school math teacher who details what makes her hot.
