And then, what's on Audible: Dryland by Sara Jaffe takes place in 1992 in Portland, Oregon.

Do you have fond memories of high-school sex - a time of young exploration? But it's not so at one school in Brooklyn, where the teachers are having reckless sex that goes well beyond comprehension.

And there have been other teacher scandals in the past - stuff like two lesbian teachers caught in the act at school, and a male teacher emailing child porn.

It's that time again: time to look at sex in the movies from 2011. Susie finds that Hollywood had a mostly celibate year. So what happened?

A professor of ethics at Rutgers University became involved with a severely disabled man while she was working with him.

But his family thought differently.

Susie has found a book club you may not want to join: Parents Against Bad Books in Schools. What's not to like? Well, they're against letting kids read books that have violence, sexual content, religious degradation, and foul language.

How can that be a bad thing?

In the second part of Susie's interview with journalist Debbie Nathan, Debbie talks about why so many people say they're addicted to porn, and she explains how she fell into this often strange line of work.

This just in from the BBC…The Orgasmatron! It is what it sounds like: a small machine that can give you endless pleasure. So why don't we all have one?

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.
