Tonight, the night before valentines day, I attended an event with everyone's favorite sex therapist, Dr. Ruth!
Dr. Ruth Westheimer has a new book out, Sexually Speaking: What Every Woman Needs to Know About Sexual Health. Tonight she and a group of gynecologists got together for a wine and cheese and question and answer session.
Dr. Ruth is as much of a riot in real life as she is on the radio. Of course, all questions lead her back to sex. She did tell a funny story about her husband who really liked Diane Sawyer. Diane had come to her house for a visit and the first question she asked Dr. Ruth was, "Dr. Ruth, how is your sex life?" Before she was able to answer, her husband piped in, "The shoemaker's children have no shoes!"
In her book, she discusses important women's health issues such as finding the right gynecologist and planning to avoid pregnancy or be healthy during pregnancy. She obviously puts a fun spin on topics that are important but often make people blush.
She's only 4'7! I'm actually sitting down in this picture!
Thanks, Dr. Ruth, for bringing these conversations into the main stream!
You met Dr. Ruth?! I want to be you when I grow up. :)
