Ask Dr. Ruth

Gloria Kino

She survived the Holocaust, was a sniper in the Zionist Haganah and became a legendary sex therapist in the prudish America of the 1980s. When being gay was still considered a sin and the female orgasm was not an issue, Ruth Westheimer pleaded charmingly and wittily for the joy of sex in her TV show. Whether HIV, erectile dysfunction, sex positions – there was nothing she could not talk about with expertise, empathy, and respect. Even at the age of 92 she still teaches at university, writes books, and is a regular guest on talk shows. Not a trace of exhaustion.
