OK, kids, be sure to set your TiVo Friday for Dr. Phil at 3 pm on Channel 5. One of our favorite local authors, the hilarious Suzi Parker, is featured in his show about Swingers … you know, couples who prefer threesomes and foursomes. From the brief preview of the episode online, it looks predictably Dr. Phil-like — some of the couples are miserable, some look pretty happy — but I’m sure the highlight will be Suzi talking about her hilarious book Sex in the South, which tells why we Southerners buy the most sex toys, takes you to a Passion Party, and other secrets from between the sheets.

Tell the truth: You’re not really surprised that sex toys sell best in the South, are you?
