Susie's talking this week with her old friend and physician, Flash Gordon, MD. Susie asks Flash: How do recreational drugs affect sexual performance? What can you do to make prostate exams easier? How does menopause affect sexual desire? And, what's do you really see in the ER? Also, Susie recommends a classic example of corset-porn, Autobiography of a Flea. And, in her mailbag, Susie and Dr. Flash respond to a woman whose husband's desire to give her multiple orgasms is causing her pain.

Today, Susie spends the entire show speaking with legendary porn star Howie Gordon, aka Richard Pacheco. Over his career, Howie appeared in more than 100 X-rated films and videos.

They talk about open marriages, first loves, and the sexual liberation of the sixties.

A small town in Colorado has been shaken by the so-called discovery of a "teen sexting ring". And to make matters worse, the football team runs it.

Oh, really? There's a rumor going around of a bright-orange, phallic shaped, Hawaiian mushroom that triggers spontaneous orgasms when women sniff it. That sounds great, says Susie - except that this is hogwash! Every few years, a different story about a new erotic aphrodisiac pops up, and sorry to say, it's just hype.

Susie is under the weather this week but wants you to enjoy an episode from 2012, when she invited one of her favorite writers to join the show. Hanne Blank is the author of Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality, in which she delves into the history of how hetro was created and marketed to people around the time of World War II. Susie and Hanne talk about heterosexuality being a middle-class notion, medical science and the understanding of sexuality, and if there really is a gay brain versus a straight brain.

Susie starts the show off with a look at nerds and sexual rejection. This discussion began with MIT professor Scott Aaronson, when he wrote about being traumatized as a young nerd and how that left him out of the larger world of male privilege. Challenging his thesis is Laurie Penny in NewStatesman.com, a female nerd who has a different take on oppression. It's patriarchy and anti-feminism that are the culprits here. Being bullied affects one's self esteem and sexuality, and that creates the rage, trauma, and hurt of "nerdolescence".

In 18th-century London, a man named Jack Harris published an annual guide entitled Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies, which noted the ladies' skills at prostitution. If you've ever used a Zagat or Frommer's guide, or Consumer Reports, you have an idea of how popular Harris's list must have been. Susie reads from a New Yorker article by Nicola Twilley that details how the guide evolved and who made it onto the selective list.

Campus rape prevention and prosecution are in the news again, and some say it's a crisis. Others say it's a panic. Susie sees a chasm between ideal behavior and an informed understanding of human sexuality. She reads from an article by Sara Lipka in The Chronicle of Higher Education that lays out the real dilemma here: Many college students lack education about sexuality and are unprepared and insecure about sex.

Time for your history lesson on the origins of the female clitoris. That's right, Susie has a detailed look, beginning in ancient times and moving through to the present day, on the absurd idea that the clit is evil or witchcrafty or that it's really just an unimportant body part. Susie reads from an article in the Huffington Post by writers Carina Kolodny and Amber Genuske, who tell what the anatomists, psychologists, and neurologists have written throughout the ages about this important female pleasure center.

Susie talks to novelist James Grainger. His book Harmless explores sex and masculinity in the aging Gen-X crowd. How do you write one sex scene to thrill and another to horrify? Titillation and sexual reality; threading the needle.

Why is a new AIDS preventative pill under attack? Truvada has been dubbed a party drug by conservatives, who see it as an aid to continuing risky sex, rather than something to help people with HIV. Susie reads from Out magazine's article "Why I Am a Truvada Whore". This tongue-in-cheek story shows how mixed up the debate is and likens the fear of HIV protection to the 1960s-era fear of giving birth-control pills to unmarried couples.

For anyone who lived through the 1980s AIDS crisis, watching friends dying, like the apocalypse had arrived, it seems unthinkable that today's students don't know about this recent history. December 1 was World AIDS Day. Susie starts off today's show with a discussion about why the younger generation doesn't know about the real trauma of HIV/AIDS. She reads from an article by a college professor who explains that his students think that AIDS happens to "others", who they then marginalize and write off. Wrong!

[Contains explicit content] Susie offers a reminder for sex educators that sex with a condom is not always possible - and people need to be able to talk about it. Next, she wonders whether "twinks" are really having a moment. And finally, a woman feels empty inside now that she's had sex for the first time.
