Is the American work ethic ruining our sex lives? Susie has thought so for years, and now she gets to pose her question to economist Doug Henwood. Doug Henwood is the editor and publisher of The Left Business Observer, a contributor to The Nation, and the host of a weekly radio show on WBAI in New York. Susie and Doug talk about work ethics, marriage incentives, and why economists just seem to miss the sex part of any equation. Then, in the mailbag, Susie gets to the bottom of douching.

This week, Susie continues part 2 of her conversation with sexpert Tristan Taormino. A few years ago, Tristan made the leap into big-time porn when she convinced John Stagliano, a.k.a Buttman, to produce the movie of her book The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women. Tristan and Buttman argued over details, but what they ended up with is one of the best selling porn movies about anal sex on the market. Tristan and Susie also talk about the real life sex of sexperts.

Susie is in the studio this week with John Vollmer, the curator of a new exhibit at the Museum of Sex in New York City. The exhibit is called "Sex Among the Lotus: 2500 Years of Chinese Erotic Obsession". In this fascinating discussion, Susie and John Vollmer talk about erotic images in Chinese art and culture, starting with the Lotus and the sexual charged practice of foot binding all the way through the current trends in Chinese pornography.

Before Susie launches into her NYC interview series, she's talks to a more local guest, her dad. In his second appearance on In Bed, linguist Bill Bright talks about his new book Native American Place Names in the United States. He explains why you shouldn't call either a Native American woman or mountain top squaw and gives the fascinating secret sex history of many common place names. Then, in her Try This at Home mailbag, Susie explains the giggles and guffaws of tickling fetishes.

After two years of fighting terrorism, the Feds are getting busy busting porn. A federal grand jury recently indicted the adult video company Extreme Associates and its owners for distributing porn via the mail and Internet. Susie says in these days of corporate owned porn, it's worth noting the scope of the bust and what it might mean to the rest of the industry. Then, Susie responds to a Best American Erotica 2003 listener who says the violence in some of the stories turned off his hard-on. Susie teases out the ethical considerations of what turns you on, whether it's in your...

To celebrate the last of the lazy, hazy days of summer, Susie wants you to put pen to paper and think about what really turns you on. It's all part of her tips on how to write sexy, fun, dirty, and readable sex scenes. Susie reads "The Final Climax" from her book How to Write a Dirty Story to give you a very specific idea of what works and what doesn't. Then, in her mailbag, Susie helps a listener who thinks men are getting the short end of the vibrator.

There are still more NYC interviews to come, but this week Susie catches her breath and we offer an encore edition of Susie's great San Francisco interview with monologuist Josh Kornbluth.

Josh Kornbluth is the author of Red Diaper Baby (currently being made into a move for the Sundance Channel) and co-creator of the feature length film, Haiku Tunnel. In this warm and especially funny interview, Susie and Josh talk about the sexual life of an office temp, or rather, Josh's sexual life as an office temp. Also, Josh talks about the sexual lessons his communist parents imparted...

Susie's on book tour and Susie keeps hearing gossip about the White House staff that leads her to speculate about why sexual rumors sometimes clear things up. Then, it's true! Utah's Porn Czar had to step down. But, sadly a self-appointed one has taken her place. In her mailbag, Susie meets "Larry" face-to-face in Boston and a listener writes in with her definition of "slut."

Sometimes even Susie Sexpert doesn't want to get it on. Case in point, tax season. While Attorney General John Ashcroft spends thousands to drape Lady Liberty's breasts, Susie's tax struggles are giving her a headache. That kind of a headache. While Susie searches for her mojo, she offers her tax tips for sex time. Or is that sex tips for tax time? Susie also discusses a porn greeting that won't get to the troops in Afghanistan, sex fantasies, and safer ways to give blow-jobs au naturale.

Susie continues her interview with porn filmmaker Antonio Passolini. They compare notes on the hottest porn stars, argue about the influences of porn and rap on young people, and suggest some sexy L.A. activities.

Don't miss Part 1 of this interview.

It's Catholic week on In Bed with Susie Bright. Susie's returned from her Catholic grade school reunion and it's all fresh in her mind - the beanbag throwing nun, the Bible loving girl scouts, and Susie's first glimpse at religious hypocrisy. And, in her adult life, a Catholic University courts her for a speaking engagement and then promptly drops her because of her sex-positive attitude. In her mailbag, Susie advises a guy who's getting jerked around by a woman who says she's a "lesbian."

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.

Susie's guest this week is Carol Queen, staff sexologist at Good Vibrations in San Francisco, and the author of Exhibitionism for the Shy and the cult classic erotic novel, The Leather Daddy and the Femme. Susie and Carol talk about the anatomy of an orgasm, including the elusive g-spot and what Viagra does for women. Then, in her mailbag, Susie answers a question about how to live with herpes.

Catholic schoolgirl Susie Bright weighs in on the recent sex scandal in the Catholic Church. Susie talks with science fiction writer, accomplished sadist, and long-time friend Richard Kadrey about the state of the covert culture and how to go about introducing your sexual fantasies to your lover. In her mailbag, Susie offers advice to people who love their partners but miss having sex.

Susie reviews the sexiest movie released to theaters in quite some time - Y Tu Mama Tambien. She interviews controversial feminist Phyllis Chesler, author of the best selling Women and Madness. Chesler's newest book, Woman's Inhumanity to Woman explores the dark side of sisterhood: how women treat each other badly. In her Try this at Home mailbag, Susie gets the names right and answers an important question from a man whose sexual fantasies are coming too close to home.

It's about time Susie got around to asking, "Do you suffer from sexual compulsion?" Susie asks you to take a little quiz to find out if your sexual thoughts are getting in the way of the rest of your life, and more. Susie also found a news story about an innocent water balloon that exposed a gay porn site in Florida. In her Try This at Home mailbag, Susie answers a woman whose lover keeps telling her her size really matters too.

Susie's topic this week is married gay men and the women who love them. With his wife Dina by his side, New Jersey Governor James McGreevy came out to his constituents and resigned office in the same speech. At the same time, more and more closted gay men are being busted by their wives who search the Web sites they visit. The whole situation reminds Susie of an old essay she wrote called "I Got This Way from Kissing Donahue" where she recounts her stint as a guest on a Phil Donahue Show.

Susie is on vacation this week. While she's enjoying the sun and surf, you can check out one of her great interviews from last year.

This week, Susie continues part two of her conversation with sexpert Tristan Taormino. A few years ago, Tristan made the leap into big-time porn when she convinced John Stagliano, a.k.a Buttman, to produce the movie of her book The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women.

These days, when she's not clowning around, Ducky teaches sex workshops. She has some sage advice on how to feel sexier instantly. You can learn more about Ducky Doolittle at her Web site: www.duckydoolittle.com.

As Susie gets ready to for her book tour for Mommy's Little Girl and Best American Erotica 2004, she's soliciting from you, dear listeners, suggestions for people she should interview for In Bed during her trip to NYC. To give some guidance, Susie spills the dirt on what kind of guest makes for a great sex interview. Then, Paypal's new indecency policy has put an end to one of the first Web pioneers - Jennicam, and more
