Summary

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.

ACES ARE VALID!

I was searching for an audiobook with an asexual character and got two results: a short story I haven't listened to yet, and this monstrosity. For starters the host of the show refuses to believe that asexuals exist but goes as far as to insult ace women who wrote to them and didn't even mention asexual people of other genders. They then proceeded to provide 'evidence' that asexuals don't exist by comparing them to ants. Lastly it sounds like the host has not done any research into asexuality, if they had they would very quickly be able to find that asexuality and celibacy are two completely different things and some asexual people do have and enjoy sex.
In short, do not listen to this show and if you do, ignore the message behind it. Asexual and aromatic people are valid and there is nothing 'wrong' about whatever your sexual and romantic orientation is.
I hope the host can learn that what they said here was deeply offensive and hurtful to some people however I recognise that some people just refuse to change, in which case, I just hope that no one listens to this and agrees with what the host is saying.
Aces are valid!
