Showing results by narrator "Susie Bright" in All Categories

Susie loves science, so today she brings you the real reason why women menstruate every month. It's not so women can have babies; it's all about self-defense when they get pregnant. What? Seems like evolution has created a maternal-fetal conflict. All the bloating, discomfort, and raging hormones are the result of nature making women ready to deal with the chance of motherhood and the real possibility that a baby will challenge a mom's status quo.

This week we present the birth of a blue-movie critic. It's a look into how Susie went from being what Roger Ebert called an "innocent lesbian virgin" to the Pauline Kael of porn. She tells us about being hired by Penthouse Forum to write a pocket-sized journal focusing on sexy words rather than sexy pictures as she reviewed X-rated films. Our young Susie got a first-hand look into the world of porn movies, and oh what stories she has to tell!

Susie is off this week, but wants you to enjoy an episode from 2007.

The post generated lots of comments, ranging from obese women who say their partners love their soft feel to others who offer practical tips for common obstacles.

Susie starts off today's show with a remembrance of Helen Gurley Brown. Back in the 1960s, Brown, ahead of her time, offered up the idea that single women liked sex and should have a lot of it. She went on to become the editor of Cosmopolitan, where she was the first to bring titillating images and headlines to women's magazine covers. Susie plays a radio interview of Brown as she talks with conservative talk-show host Joe Pyne.

It's Part 2 of our annual look at the top sex stories of 2010. This week we continue to look at the headlines that made a sexual splash....

Susie's NYC interviews are here! First up: sexual pioneer Betty Dodson, the author of the seminal Sex for One and her latest, Orgasms for Two.

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.

[Contains explicit content] The Mormon Church has a video manual for teaching kids about porn - and it's the slickest thing yet. Mormon actors teach parents "what to do" — with unexpectedly comic results — when their kids encounter pornography. The slick PSA has gone viral, but not without generating a few questions about youthful curiosity and how to not upset the Holy Ghost. Non-believers may find themselves clutching their pearls!

Today, Susie breaks open two controversial topics: incest - and justice. She begins with the most provocative child-abuse accusation to enter the public's awareness in years - Dylan Farrow vs. Woody Allen - and ends with an argument for justice that is ageless. Susie ponders the question of what we are supposed to think when celebrities take to the press about their family abuse. Is it about money? Is it about immortality? Or is it just more of the screwed-up lives that Hollywood produces so effortlessly?

Susie has found a questionnaire that you won't want to miss: the National Casual Sex Survey. Here's a chance to see just how many Americans have had what's commonly known as a one night stand. The survey is specific to sex that intentionally takes place without any kind of commitment. Susie says answering these questions will be fun and revealing.

Elijah and Milo Peters perform on camera and are becoming new gay-porn superstars. Susie looks at the reasons why these siblings might really be in love. Or is it all for the money?

YouTube and other video audiences say give us more!
