Let's talk about SEX with Sue
She has been described as the Julia Childs of sex and she definitely knows more about lubricants than your average grandmother. More importantly, Sue Johanson will tell you why it itches “down there.”
Canada's infamous sex guru Sue Johanson will be lecturing and answering sex-related questions on everything from prostates to perils and anything in between at the nooner in J Gym on Thursday, October 27.
Johanson has been talking about the down and dirty for decades, not only educating people on sex safety and disease, but also instigating communication to insure her audience members are actually enjoying every aspect of sex. Her efforts haven't gone unnoticed; in 2001 the Governor-General of Canada presented Johanson with the Order of Canada.
Johanson is best known for her weekly delivery of sex advice on Sunday Night Sex Show, which started as a radio program in 1984 and successfully exploded into television in 1996 on W Network. The Oxygen Network picked her show up in 2002 and today the US version, Sex Talk with Sue Johanson, has replicated the educational and entertaining program Canadians have benefited from for over two decades.
Anyone who has seen the show can picture Johanson demonstrating the value of a condom by physically stretching it over her hand or showing a caller how to properly apply lubricant to a dildo. Her honest and accurate answers always resonate.
The staple of Sunday Night Sex Show is the call-in portion, where people phone Johanson live on television and ask sex-related questions. She is sympathetic to the audience's reservations and embarrassments, which she transfers into her live show. Instead of faceless phone calls, Johanson provides question cards at her live shows and students are encouraged to anonymously write down any burning inquiries.
Johanson sexual career path began when she realized her teenage son and daughters were receiving little or no sexual education at school. As a Registered Nurse, Johanson took a proactive approach and offered her services to the North York Department of Public Health and soon after developed the Don Mills Collegiate Birth Control Clinic, the first of its kind in North America.
She breaks down barriers of awkward feelings and speaks calmly about what is on everyone's mind, which is what makes Johanson a great sex-ucator. She also understands that being an older woman adds a certain type of authority that forces her audience sit up and listen.
“People love that [I am older] ‘cause they never feel perfect. So there is this woman standing there, turkey neck and all the rest of it and they feel comfortable,” she explained.
She lists erectile dysfunctions, pregnancy and yeast infections among the most common worries, but Johanson always answers with confidence and a smile.
