Sex Blogging with Chelsea Girl
On this week's audio show, I make a big announcement: money can't buy you love— except in Illinois, where you can at least get damages.
An Chicago-suburb husband begged his wife to have sex with other men, so he could watch. At first she was nonplussed. Then, when his wife fell in love with the boytoy, hubbie successfully sued the man... under a quaint "alienation of affection" law, for $4,800. I'd love to know how they came up with that number.
The Marginal Revolution parses the tricky question of the matter:
"[The Husband] surely does not have a right to his wife's affection— he can't sue her if she doesn't love him— so if another man steals what Husband does not own, how can Husband have a claim against the other man?"
The main event in my episode of In Bed this week is my latest New York City interview, with the writer and sex blogger known as Chelsea Girl.
Chelsea and I discuss the nature of oral sex and "viscous porn-starry spit," scholarly interest in Victorian kink, what kind of dirty talk falls flat, and Chelsea's always-eloquent blog, Pretty Dumb Things.
She also explains to me how Howard Stern can get anyone to take their clothes off, despite their best intentions.

Finally, in the "Try This at Home" mailbag, I ponder: How soon do you have to tell a new lover how many others you have in your bed?
Don't forget, you can send your confidential questions, feedback about the show, and requests for girly cards to susie@audible.com. (Episode 301, July 20, 2007)



You couldn't put a link to the Deep Throat post, could you? :-)

I've had a crush on Ms. Chelsea Girl for years, without ever really knowing what she sounded like.
It just got much, much worse. Or better. Or something like that. Thanks for posting this, Susie. Great interview.

I loved this interview! Chelsea Girl is awesome and I loved getting a chance to hear her voice. Also, I think her theory that a lot of men have trouble having rough sex once they fall in love with a woman. But we still want it and need it! Does it all just go back to fucking the whores and marrying the virgins?
PS I sent you an email.

Thank you so much, Susie.
And as for when to reveal the number to a lover? Never. It's none of their business how many I've done. Let them guess, if they must.

Keep working on him, CG. He'll come around to being as rough as you want when he gets used to it.
I don't have a problem being rough with the girl(s) I love, as long as they beg, get wet and come. There are many ways to show your love, but you have to look beyond surface appearances and see whether it's really loving or not. That's the difference between abuse and rough love.
So, keep after him, and good luck!
