Going to Wings , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 780min
Going to Wings, by Sandra Worsham, is a tender and entertaining memoir about love, family, sexuality, and faith. The author loves women, she loves Catholicism, and she loves her small hometown of Milledgeville, Georgia, the home of the Catholic writer Flannery O’Connor. The result is a dramatic struggle well worth following.This is a journey of stunning losses and successes, of fear and courage, told with admirable style and wit, with charming innocence, and with honesty. The story begins in 1975, when the author is 27, on the day she tries to tell her mother that she is gay - “Mama, I have been in touch with Ellen again” - and ends 35 years later with her finally coming out, first to herself and then to others. It is the story of her rejection of her own homosexuality and her attempt to change herself by hiding in the closet of the Catholic Church, after having grown up Southern Baptist.During those years Worsham is caregiver, first for her mother and then for her celibate friend Teeny. After the deaths of both of these important women in her life, she finally begins the terrifying journey of coming out.In 2010, at the Second Congregational Church in Bennington, Vermont, she marries Letha, a woman she met on Match.com, a marriage that eventually becomes legal in Georgia. The title, Going to Wings, comes from the name the Milledgeville lesbians call their weekly gathering at a downtown restaurant, “The Brick”. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sandra Worsham.

In Bed with Susie Bright 507: What Was the Best Sex in the Movies of the Past Year?, Hörbuch, Digital, 43min, (USK 18)
It's that time again: time to look at sex in the movies from 2011. Susie finds that Hollywood had a mostly celibate year. So what happened? Susie thinks the mainstream left all the good, juicy stuff to porn and indie filmmakers. But she remembers a few great scenes from last year that involved Ryan Gosling and his incredible abs, and Kristen Dunst baring it all. Now that was hot! Next, we continue with our series "Tell Me Your Sex Story" - our ongoing listener interviews in which you hear from people just like you who get into Susie's sexual confessional booth and reveal all. This week, Susie talks with "Pat", a woman survivor of child sexual abuse. Susie and Pat talk about masturbation, sexual turn-ons, and how vocalizing your fantasies can lead to breaking the silence. Then, in our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie reads two letters. One is from a listener who needs help finding a new therapist; the other comes from a man who says, "My wife and I have had the same argument every year... for the past 15 years. She likes vanilla sex and I want to spice up our lives." Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110.

Today we meet “Alice”, a single mom with two middle-school-aged daughters.

Then, our "Try This at Home" mailbag. Susie invites Lizz to read today's listener letter with her and offer advice on this problem: "Help! An email flirtation may have ruined my entire life."

Provoked: Enlightenment , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 352min
David Lauriston is struggling to build his reputation in Edinburgh's privileged legal world. His humble origins are enough of a hurdle, never mind his recent decision to defend a group of weavers accused of treason, prompting speculation that he may harbour radical sympathies. The last thing he should be doing is agreeing to help the brother of one of the convicted weavers find the government agent who caused his brother's downfall. David's personal life is no more successful. Tormented by his forbidden desires for other men, and the painful memories of the childhood friend he once loved, David tries his hardest to live a celibate existence, castigating himself whenever his resolve slips. But then into David's repressed and orderly world bursts Lord Murdo Balfour. Cynical, hedonistic, and utterly unapologetic, Murdo could not be less like David. Whilst David refuses to entertain the prospect of entering into a loveless marriage for propriety's sake, Murdo is determined to wed one day - and has no intention of giving up the company of other men when he does so. But as appalled as David is by Murdo's unrepentant self-interest, he cannot resist the man's sway. Murdo tempts and provokes David in equal measure, distracting him from his promise to find the agent provocateur responsible for the weavers' fate, and forcing him to acknowledge his physical desires. But is Murdo more than a mere distraction? Is it possible he could be the very man David is looking for? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hamish McKinlay.

Three female friends face midlife crises in a no-holds-barred exploration of sex, marriage, and the fragility of life. Holly: Filled with regret for being a stay-at-home mom, she sheds 60 pounds and loses herself in the world of extramarital sex. Will it bring the fulfillment she is searching for? Andrea: A single mom and avowed celibate, she watches her friend Holly’s meltdown with a mixture of concern and contempt. Holly is throwing away what Andrea has spent her whole life searching for—a committed relationship with a decent guy. So what if Andrea picks up Holly’s castaway husband? Marissa: She has more than her fair share of challenges—a gay, rebellious teenage son, a terminally ill daughter, and a husband who buries himself in his work rather than face the facts. As one woman’s marriage unravels, another’s rekindles. As one woman’s family comes apart at the seams, another’s reconfigures into something bigger and better. In this story of connections and disconnections, one woman’s up is another one’s down, and all of them will learn the meaning of friendship, betrayal, and forgiveness. Unflinchingly honest, emotionally powerful, surprisingly erotic, Triangles is the ultimate pause-resister. Hopkins’s gorgeous, expertly honed poetic verse perfectly captures the inner lives of her characters. Sometimes it happens like that. Sometimes you just get lost.... Get lost in the world of Triangles, where the lives of three unforgettable women intersect, and where there are no easy answers. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Fashionably Dead and Wed , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 460min
I know I'm already mated.... I wanna get married. What do you get when you combine a three-headed monster named Charles; a rotund, gay, dancing Demon named Doug; a culinary disaster baked by Mother Nature; a celibate premarital councilor named Jeff; an offer from Satan that's impossible to refuse; and Steve Perry? You get the royal wedding from hell - or, to be more accurate, possibly in hell. All I want to do is marry the Vampyre of my dreams, with my closest friends and family in attendance. Yep, I know nuptials in the undead world are unheard of, but I'm still hanging on to my humanity if only by a thread. Being mated is great, but getting married is important to me. Tacky invitations and cake that causes food poisoning aside, I also need to deal with the stream of Demons entering my world from mysteriously opened portals. Not to mention Angel Jeff is going to fail us on the premarital test if we participate in any nookie before the wedding. I'm trying really hard not to go bridezilla on everyone. With five days to plan the wedding, I have to figure out who's opening the portals and deal with our hostile allies who think our wedding is a farce. It's been a very difficult week - especially the no nookie part. All I know is this: I will say "I do" on Saturday even if I have to go to hell and back to accomplish it. ungekürzt.

The Butcher, the Baker, the Candlestick Maker: An Erotic Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 482min, (USK 18)
It was 1 pm when I said to my receptionist, 'I have a meeting. Back in two hours.' A half hour later, I was having sex with a complete stranger. It was fantastic. At 29 I got married to live the life of the perfect wife with the gorgeous children. I did that for 10 years, the last four of which I was completely celibate. Then I went online and everything changed." After a love affair with a man 3,000 miles away, whom she met online, Suzanne Portnoy, mother of two and a top executive in the entertainment industry, begins her sexual reawakening. Embarking on a sensational and prolific series of liaisons, Suzanne beds a top London chef, who cooks her a 5-star meal on the day her husband moves out. An affair with a famous men's magazine editor quickly ensues, followed by a top cameraman who takes pictures of Suzanne naked. But that's just the beginning. Insatiable, Suzanne dives into the swinging scene and works her way through an entire spectrum of sexual experience, including exhibitionism, group sex, fetish clubs, and a predilection for picking up men during her lunch hour. The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker is a story that is shocking and heart-warming in equal measure. Freed from the restraints of marriage and monogamy, Suzanne takes pleasure without commitment and tells her story without a trace of shame. She's not looking for Prince Charming anymore; she's looking for fun. And she finds it. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Suzanne Portnoy.

Taboo: The Priest's Confession , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min, (USK 18)
I’m Father Patrick O’Neil. Father Pat is what the local folks call me. I’ve been around, working inner cities, rural areas, Ireland, England, and some missionary work in China. All when I was training and just ordained. Now, I’m in a medium town and settled in for the last few years. The rectory is homely, and I’ve got a housekeeper. Moira is from the old country and in her late 50s, I should think. She is married and has been housekeeper here for many years. She keeps the place clean and tidy, cooks for me, and does my shopping, washing, and ironing. She is a great cook and always prepares meals for her days off so all I have to do is warm them up, usually in the microwave. Bit of a luxury these days. I’m 32 years old and have never been kissed! Not true. I’d had girlfriends when I was a teen and at college and had explored and enjoyed them and the experiences. But since being ordained, I had concentrated my thoughts away from such temptations; well, almost. I’ve been dragged off the straight and narrow a few times. Priests seem to attract many women. Maybe it’s that priests should be celibate and so a challenge for some women. I also keep pretty fit and have always done some boxing. The boxing priest has always been an attraction, although without my dog collar and in shorts, I'm just another bloke. Maybe my muscular frame is a bit of an attraction, too. ungekürzt.

In Bed with Susie Bright 488: You're Asexual? Susie's Not Buying It, Hörbuch, Digital, 21min, (USK 18)
People describe some sexual types as "horndog", "lusty lady", "shy but kinky", and "under" or "overtly" sexual. Then there's a segment of the population who call themselves "asexual". Susie's not buying it! She says everyone has a degree of sexuality in their DNA. Now, for those who claim "not me", Susie reads from an article about asexual ants, and how they're actually total whores! There's no such thing a celibate ant, although the research into Mycoceourus smithii looked at first like it was a species that could reproduce without sex. But it turns out that, when later dissected, the queen ant was covered in sperm. Next, why are women being referred for female genital surgery? Susie has a disturbing answer. A look into request letters for the procedure from a London Hospital showed that the mean age of all respondents was 25. Wow… why are these young women having surgery on their hoo hoos? Some say general discomfort or reluctance to engage in relationships. But if much of this is for cosmetic reasons only, Susie says give me a break. Then in our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a female listener who loves online dating! She has three rules to use to gage a successful first date. Tune in to hear her surprising ideas. Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110.
