On this week's In Bed, Susie looks at the state of today's porn industry - which looks nothing like it did 10 years ago. For one thing, it's based in the US…and for another, professional porn stars are all but nonexistent. The top porn fantasy is porn of an extinct era.

A sexy blond woman lying on a tropical beach whispers, "The setting is perfect, but then erectile dysfunction happens again." This is Viagra's bold, new shift in advertising. No more guys, both young and old, horsing around as the announcer suggests that taking Viagra is as common as swallowing an aspirin. Now the company wants women to order the drug. Susie found the details in The New Yorker, in an article by Ian Crouch. She says this approach is more honest.

She kept giving him pointers on how to get nastier and sexier. Looks like Susie's coaching really helped him to find his inner Walter.

Christian churches are coming to the rescue for some young women. But the old-fashioned advice they dole out on pornography may not be so helpful. Susie looks at a New York Times article about an evangelical group that promotes "victory" workshops against porn to end female members' addictions. They pray to be strong and not masturbate, they learn how to please their husbands instead of themselves, and they learn that their sexual habits are sinful. Banish you, evil porn! Begone! God has spoken!
