Everything is certainly blissful when it comes to the word "sex". However, there are heights and levels to it. Are you ready to enjoy a mind-bugging experience that will take you to the highest cloud, leaving your body exploding with pleasure even at the lightest touch. If you want to experience an higher level of sexual and healing experience, welcome to the tantric sex experience!

Sex and our ability to enjoy it changes over time, not only because of age, but also thanks to societal expectations and ever-evolving social media. Sex won’t always remain static in terms of satisfaction, which is why you need to be open to adapt as time goes on. Easier said than done, is probably what you’re thinking. And it’s completely true. But as with any new knowledge and understanding, it takes time to fully establish a proper footing on the subject. The reward, however, is more than worth it.

Today's show takes a quick look at why and how sex education has evolved in the United States. Susie reads from an article in Newsweek that featured a story written by Johanna Cornblatt. Going back to the 1800s, we see the same worries about "evil" sex and plans to control the young, just as with today's abstinence-only sex-ed. The article is full of strange and fun historical facts, including warnings about syphilis, prostitutes, the 1960s sexual revolution, and HIV and AIDS.

Susie's feeling vindicated by a recent medical journal report that drug companies are funding studies of female impotence. Susie says forget the pills and creams and get some lube. Then, Susie talks with her old friend and mentor Jared Rutter about the history of porn. In her mailbag, Susie reads a letter from a woman who wonders why her 23-year-old boyfriend has lost interest in sex, and from a man who says he really does like to take it slow.

Susie's history lesson this week is all about the dildo. The dildo's heyday came in the '80s, when a man from Brooklyn named Gosnell Duncan started making silicon ones. He even named one The Susie!

Susie takes a look into how black and inter-racial sex videos have evolved since the 1980s.

With titles like Black Chicks Do It Better and In and Out of Africa, these fringe porn movies have presented themes that at the time seemed risky but soon became the norm. Susie did some investigative reporting about why racism penetrated the porn industry.
