Gender and sexual identity can be a big issue for us humans. And guess what... some animals, fishes, and reptiles are queer too! Susie thinks the idea that there are gay dolphins is fascinating. Author Joan Roughgarden's 2004 book Evolution's Rainbow: Diversity, Gender and Sexuality in Nature and People has the details, and Susie plays a sample from the audiobook.

Next, a special guest interview with author and ebook pioneer M. J. Rose. Long before Fifty Shades of Grey was written, Rose's book Lip Service explored the secret world of phone sex, featuring an inside look into one woman's erotic identity. Susie and Rose talk about sex, romance, erotic fantasies - and how to market a sexy novel.

Finally, from our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie has a question from a girl who needs advice: "When my lover asks me to come up with a hot fantasy, I'm at a loss. What do you do?"
