In Bed with Susie Bright 563: Inter-Racial Sex Profit Motive - Plus, The Thwarted Adulterer, Hörbuch, Digital, 34min, (USK 18)
First up: Short, sharp - and mentally ill? How did folk-music star Michelle Shocked become a deranged homophobe? Susie talks about the recent anti-gay tirade the singer made during a recent concert in San Francisco. Shocked actually slurred gays while onstage, and wouldn't shut up, so the venue finally turned off the stage lights and microphone. Susie is confused and worried about the singer's mental health, and takes a look at her career and climb to fame. Next, Susie looks at an article from the website The Daily Beast. Adult-film porn star Aurora Snow writes that interracial sex is still taboo for many stars. When she first got into the business 12 years ago, her agent asked her if she "did black guys". Susie reads the article, which asserts that racism exists in the world of porn. Then, it's the "Try This at Home" mailbag. A listener writes in about his recovering marriage. He says, "After I cheated, we put things back together… now I'm begging my wife to have sex with another man, and she just laughs in my face. What can I do!" Have a question?
