Susie recently was one of San Francisco's Grand Marshalls for the annual Gay Parade Day Parade. What could be better then riding in a fancy convertible wearing a swimsuit and leopard skin orange cape while thousands of sexy screaming people adore you? Susie was thrilled to be a part of the enormous event and she shares stories of the parade.

Next, dildo alert! Are you at risk because of the materials used to make dildos? Susie reads from an article by Cory Silverberg who thinks this warning about the chemical phthalates used in dildos is overblown. Is this a case of scaring the consumer away from buying a cheaper sex toy in favor of a more expensive one? Not to dis consumer protection, but sometimes the facts don't add up.

Then in our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a new listener who loves the show. She writes to ask if it's normal for a 38 year old to be preoccupied with sex? Do I need to get help?
