Susie starts off today's show with a look at the birth-control debate gone wild. Guess where. Yup, it's happening down in Texas, where the state legislators and the governor are destroying birth control and abortion access. Susie says they are not alone in their draconian measures, but the size and disenfranchisement of the affected population is vast. Their puritan ideas on women's health are truly scary.

Next, Susie takes a look at a story from The Atlantic. Writer Jessica Gentile compares today's sexting to the 1880s romances that happened via telegraph. Wow... sexual deceit and online dating were all the rage back then, way before today's various Internet relationships. The story looks at "catfishing": Internet predators creating online identities to trick people into relationships and how catfishing happened back in the 1800s as well. Virtual romance in the Victorian age! Seems like online cads are nothing new.

Finally, Susie has another new and erotic audiobook from Audible to recommend. The Afternoons of a Woman of Leisure by Elizabeth Bennett is this week's hot listen. Susie says this book will take you on a clandestine erotic journey of pain, pleasure, betrayal, and revenge, and she has an excerpt for us to hear. The book is narrated by Maxine Mitchell.
