Susie is under the weather this week but wants you to enjoy an episode from 2012, when she invited one of her favorite writers to join the show. Hanne Blank is the author of Straight: The Surprisingly Short History of Heterosexuality, in which she delves into the history of how hetro was created and marketed to people around the time of World War II. Susie and Hanne talk about heterosexuality being a middle-class notion, medical science and the understanding of sexuality, and if there really is a gay brain versus a straight brain. You'll also hear some interesting riffs on why we don't see Viagra ads for anal sex.

Then, from the "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie has a letter from a female listener who is curious but cautious. "What's the diff between men and women topping each other?" she wants to know.
