Oh, and got banned from Butlins. i, Kunt is an extraordinary tale about trying to stay true to your principles whilst dressed head to toe in hi vis, pretending to cry and masturbate. ungekürzt.

Surprisingly, Susie finds one thing she and Thomas have in common: their love of porn!

Nothing wrong there, says Susie, but she finds his alleged sexual bullying, harassment of women, and sexual tyranny a real problem. And have you heard about Thomas' wife calling Anita Hill demanding an apology - 20 years later? Too strange even for the National Enquirer. Next, in our ongoing "Tell Me Your Sex Story" segment, another listener divulges all her private sexual secrets to Susie. This week "Meg" gets into the sexual confession booth. She's from the Midwest and is a new mom who still finds time to make love with her husband. Susie and Meg discuss being bisexual, BDSM, and talking dirty, even though the kids are within earshot. Then, in our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie responds to a letter from a woman with a really embarrassing problem. "My orgasm made me lose control of my bowels. Now I'm so worried about it happening again; I can't have any fun." Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110.

    Jolie Blon's Bounce , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 873min
    When a beautiful teenage girl is killed, the victim of a particularly savage rape, New Iberia, Louisiana police detective Dave Robicheaux senses from the very start of the investigation that the most likely suspect - Tee Bobby Hulin - is not the actual killer. Though a drug addict and general ne'er-do-well, Hulin doesn't fit the profile for this brutal crime. But when another body turns up - a drugged-out prostitute who is the daughter of a local mafia bigwig - all clues point to Tee Bobby Hulin. The dead girl's father sets out to find - and punish - the killer. Before Robicheaux can bring the killer or killers to justice, he battles a painkiller addiction, a habit brought on by a humiliating beating he suffers at the hands of a diabolical character known only as Legion. Once the overseer on a local sugarcane plantation, Legion scrapes by through doing odd jobs. In temperament, he's still the malevolent bully, seemingly possessed with supernatural skills of survival. When Robicheaux's longtime buddy Clete Purcel drops by New Iberia for a visit, he is quickly drawn into the struggle between evil forces - including Jimmy Dean Styles, a black man intent on maintaining his empire of corruption; Joe Zeroski, a trailer park mafioso with palatial aspirations; and Legion Guidry, in whom Robicheaux faces an enemy unlike any he has ever known. And soon, what began as a duel of wits turns into a dance of death. Gothic, dense, brutal, touching, and always compelling, Jolie Blon's Bounce is classic storytelling from a writer who has been dubbed "the Faulkner of crime fiction." ungekürzt. Language: English.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 574: Michael Douglas' Cunnilingus Scare - Plus the Sandstone Legacy, Hörbuch, Digital, 29min, (USK 18)
    Actor Michael Douglas recently claimed that oral sex caused his throat cancer. Susie reads from an article in The Guardian newspaper that reveals some candid facts about the Hollywood bigwig. Douglas says that HPV, human papillomavirus, is what did him in. Susie takes a more skeptical look at his claims, saying cunnilingus doesn't cause cancer. Susie also looks at the HPV vaccine and how the sexually transmitted HPV virus can be spread. Next, Susie takes a loving look at John Williamson, the co-founder of the Sandstone Retreat, who recently passed away. Back in the early 1970s, John and his wife, Barbara, created a haven for communal nudity and open relationships near Malibu in the Topanga Canyon. This was during the heyday of the Sexual Revolution and Sandstone attracted many followers who were interested in not only free love but challenging the traditional rules of society. Susie talks about this true free spirit. Finally, Susie has another new sexy audiobook for us to sample. It's Down and Dirty Sex Secrets: The New and Naughty Guide to Being Great in Bed. Written by sex educator Tristan Taormino, Susie says this book is great. Topics covered are oral sex, multiple orgasms, strap-ons, S&M, and more. Taormino narrates along with Madison Vaughn and Bryce Hamilton. Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 355: Diary of a Porn Clerk, Hörbuch, Digital, 34min, (USK 18)
    We've all experienced lousy jobs when we were young or in between careers. Many of us worked in restaurants or temp offices, but today we hear stories from a gal who works as a cashier at a porn store. Susie reads from True Porn Clerk Stories a blog created by Ali Davis. The surprising details of this job are that- there is so much more to it than just swiping bar codes. Not only does our heroine check out the videos, she is expected to check out the customers as they peruse the aisles. A few too many shoppers, while looking at the racy cover photos, have a tendency to get physical with themselves right there in the store. Imagine the clean up on aisle three! Next, Susie scours the news in England and finds a story about a motor racing bigwig who was accused of participating in a Nazi orgy party. Not so said the Formula One boss who tells a different story. He claims all he was doing was having sadomasochistic sex, and that he's been practicing S&M for 45 years. And best yet, he took the tabloids to court, and won. Then, in the Try This at Home mailbag, we hear a question from a young man who wants to know how to talk about sex with friends and lovers. Is there anyway to converse about sex without it seeming to be a come on? Don't forget, you can send your confidential questions, feedback about the show, and requests for girly cards to susie@audible.com.
