Nothing about sex has been uttered, but the intimacy in the room is tangible. The audience would be satisfied with an evening of Susie Bright just like this. She then talks about beginning a column again, which starts tomorrow for Salon. Susie analogizes the process of getting auditioned by the show to familiar sexual and dating dynamics. Her erotic philanthropy left her feeling used by the screeners of Tom' s show.
Rejection is rejection.
Susie pops off a glib, sexually detailed on-air response that ends the call. But the caller's challenge haunted her for several weeks. Then it hits her, she realizes her attraction to the caller. This is but the first of the revelations in this essay. Part theory, part observation, part personal reckoning, Susie just dives in to the morass of feelings, theories and hang-ups around bisexuality and sexuality in general.
