With jaundiced eye and sometimes tongue in cheek, we survey the sad state of sex and sexuality in the US. Highlights include HELEN GURLEY BROWN's 1963 advice to married men on how to conduct an affair, PAT McCORMICK's parody of a TV game show exposing adulterers, an article on Eliot Spitzer (NY Governor who resigned following news exposure that he patronized prostitutes), and a monologue by KD.
The MP3s of NWN #231, uploaded on August 3, had an odd glitch and contained mostly silence. We apologize. These new versions work properly.
This is a rerun of NWN #11 (April 2008). Now available in a high-fidelity 192 kbps MP3.
Music added: Chris Williamson, "Dream Child"; P.D.Q. Bach, Round: "Nellie is a Nice Girl"
