Tech money is bringing new clients to dominatrices, but they're feeling the real-estate squeeze just like everyone else. Susie reads from an article by Luke Winkie in Jezebel that looks at the booming tech economy that cities are experiencing. Along with the gentrification comes inflated real estate. Digital money is making it into the pockets of the mistresses - but is the increased rent forcing them out of town and away from their new clientele?

Susie's happy Brits can finally see what's behind the green door. The British Board of Film Classification is allowing explicit pornography into the country for the first time. Then, Susie talks with writer Jane DeLynn, the author of one of Susie's earliest erotic favorites, Some Do, as well as Don Juan in the Village, and most recently, Leash. Susie and Jane debate the existence of "lesbian bed death" and whether you can will yourself to like being a bottom. Then, should jocks shave?

Susie has a question for you: Do you want to "restore" your marriage, or stick a fork in it? A recent article from the New York Times "Modern Love" editor has Susie laughing and crying about trends in helping those struggling with marital non-bliss. Daniel Jones writes about the conventional ways couples try to reignite passion and get the love back in their relationships. Susie finds a lot of these ideas troubling: planned date nights, planned hugging and kissing, planned sexy nights out...stop! Working at change is great, but come on.

Teenagers are having less sex these days, and teen pregnancy is down. This all sounds pretty good, right? Susie begs to differ and looks at the real reasons behind the statistics. A recent article by Amy T. Schalet in The New York Times got Susie thinking about what's changed for boys. What role has religion, abstinence-based sex education, and Internet pornography played in boys wanting love, not just sex?

Susie starts off today's show with a sexy topic: European accounting! Okay, if that doesn't turn you on, you're not alone - but Bloombergview.com reports that the European Union wants to cash in on prostitution, drugs, and other illicit businesses to help boost GDP. These "shadow economies" are being scrutinized and may be forced to join national statistical accounting systems. Susie looks at how the underground world, although illegal, may help these countries' overall numbers to look good on the books.

Susie has finally found an age-old conflict Israeli Arabs and Jews can agree on - pornography. Susie is in the studio again with her old friend Carol Queen.

Susie and Carol talk about the world of peep shows and walking the walk of their open relationships. Then, a listener wonders where he can learn more about transsexuals.

Are you familiar with the term "tossing salad" when it means something other than mixing the lettuce for dinner? If not, here's a vocabulary tip: hipsters use this phrase to mean eating booty, or anilingus. Susie reads from a Gawker article by Tyrone Palmer that details recent hip-hop stars' declarations of liking to "eat da booty". Citing many rappers, this article shines a positive light on what Susie says is a delightful pleasure that has been stigmatized as dirty - and as a line that shouldn't be crossed - and that means you are gay. Next, a headline: Men Who Make Virginity Pledges as Teens Struggle with Sex Once Married. Susie finds this research, from livescience.com, to be understandably true - and sad.

Today's show is an homage to Christian Mann, an erotic-film producer who was a mentor to Susie and the producer of Edward PenisHands, the best porn parody ever!

Susie and Christian were friends, and Susie has many fun stories and memories to share with you.

On today's show, Susie interviews Anne Elizabeth Moore about her investigation of prostitutes and NGOs in Cambodia. There's more than one con game afoot. Susie has been following Anne's blog Truth Out, where she and Leela Corman have profiled, in comic-strip form, the problems of women in Cambodia. Susie and Anne talk about the "culture of quiet": NGO's discouraging of women from sharing their stories, because that causes shame.

Susie begins the show with a helpful evaluation of where all the presidential candidates stand regarding sexual politics - from Obama showing his hot side by posing in swimming trunks, to Giuliani's kinky side as a cross dresser. Susie chronicles where they stand on issues ranging from polygamy to gay rights. Another aspect up for scrutiny is the candidate's spouse. Who has more sex appeal, Bill Clinton or Jeri Thompson?

On this week's In Bed, Susie looks at what it means when the newspaper of record stops pandering to the rescue industry and gives voice to sex workers and human-rights activists. Then, how much do you want your tampon to tell your smartphone about your flow? It's Bluetooth for your vag!
