Here it is! Susie's list of the top sex stories from 2012, featuring a few laughs, a few cringes, and a lot of "speaking truth to power". Her list of 20 includes news stories, books, films, and situations that made an impact on our sexuality last year. From the unprecedented number of states that passed gay-marriage laws to the busting of the actor who played Elmo, Susie covers a wide range of sex-related issues. And on the lighter side, Susie reveals her favorite sexy TV shows, music albums, and hot, hot, hot movies.

A new, sexy e-book entitled Shades of Grey has taken over the publishing world. This has Susie thinking, "What are some of the other erotic romance books that paved the way for Shades that we all need to read or read again?" Susie has a list, including: Carrie's Story, Story of O, and Nine and a Half Weeks, to name a few. She's also working hard to get these important titles into audiobook form. Stay tuned!

It's our annual look at the Top Sex Stories of 2010. Susie loves to remember the most outrageous events from last year and to tote up how many news stories had to do with sex. She's always surprised by what made the headlines. This year's list ranges from the Sexting craze to the end of Craig's List sex ads - and more!

We've seen it in the movies: older guy with a hot young babe in bed, and just as they are doing it, he has a stroke. In today's show, Susie looks at the real issue of heart disease and sex, not just the Hollywood hype.

This week, Susie discusses the life and legacy of feminist icon Andrea Dworkin, who passed away on April 11th. Dworkin was known for her radical critique of pornography, which linked porn to rape and violence. Also, in this week's mailbag: "Should I Seduce My Research Subjects?"

Right-wing bloggers are skewering popular actress Lena Dunham. Why? Dunham wrote in her memoir about bribing her younger sister to kiss her and apply make-up when they were both children. Conservatives are crying abuse. Susie says give me a break! This misdirected focus on a celebrity is pathetic. Let's talk about real sexual predators and where they exist.

On today's show, Susie interviews one of today's most popular porn stars: Asa Akira. Asa has been working in the adult-entertainment business for six years and has garnered many awards for her work in over 400 adult films. At the AVN awards show, sponsored by Adult Video News, she's won for best anal scene, best double-penetration scene, and best all-girl three-way sex scene. She's also been named best porn star of the year. Susie and Asa talk about how to stay healthy in the business, why being dominated can be so hot, and how to write smutty haikus.

Susie's been reading a midwife's blog recently, and she came across a topic you usually don't hear much about: How being obese changes a woman's vagina and sexual response. Then, Susie says a recent article on the science of sex left her wanting, but confirms that our body is usually a couple of steps ahead of our brains when it comes to desire. And, in the mailbag, Susie answers a letter from a woman whose partner has a strange way of asking for sex.

Susie is off this week, but she wants to revisit an interview she had with Eric Schaefer, author of Sex Scene: Media and the Sexual Revolution. Professor Schaefer teaches at Emerson College in the Visual and Media Arts Department. His book looks at exploitation and sexploitation within films, tabloids, novels, and audio recordings.

Susie starts off today's show with an article from the New York Times. It seems more women are looking for an over-the-counter libido fix. Sales of all kinds of gels, oils, and vibrators have become mainstream. A walk down any pharmacy aisle in the "intimate lifestyle" section (often right by the Band-Aids) reveals extraordinary choices for starting up women's mojos again. Susie says okay, not bad, but why buy all the hype? Vegetable oil and good old fashioned foreplay can be a less expensive way to find the sweet spot again.
