Sex therapist Ruth wesheimer, more famous doctor
Ruth rarely refuses to talk about sexual opportunities.
In fact, she recently gave a speech at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts entitled "Awakening art" to celebrate her 85 th birthday.
She continues to offer frank advice, as she has since her first radio show, "sexual speech", in 1980.
The only difference today is
Ruth does this on her YouTube channel, website and Twitter feed.
She wrote 39 books, including the sex of a dummy, and is writing a new one.
This month, a drama about her life, become a doctor
"Ruth," began running in Hartford, Connecticut.
"It's neat," she said . "
As a young woman
Ruth is a kindergarten teacher studying for a doctorate in education at Columbia University.
But during her family planning work, she became interested in human sexuality.
This spring, the organization awarded doctors
Ruth of the Margaret Sanger Award, "because she has devoted her life to empowering women and men to talk openly and honestly about sex and sexual health.
The essence of her advice, she says, is the importance of relationships and families.
Born in Germany, she is the only son of an Orthodox Jewish couple. In 1939, she was sent to Switzerland alone at the age of 10 and survived the massacre.
She never saw her family again, thinking that her parents had died in concentration camps.
"Everything else, sexual enrichment, other positions, can be taught.
But first there's a relationship, "she said. Dr.
Ruth has been married three times (two divorces, one death) and has two children.
She recently received a telephone interview with The Post at her New York apartment, where she has lived for half a century.
Her iconic German accent, witty and Frank, is still intact.
Why are you so active?
I like being a doctor.
So I never thought about retiring.
I also remember this sentence in my heart: "It is not retirement, but re-wiring.
This means "don't retire, sit in a rocking chair, and do something you're interested in.
In my case, for example, there's something brand new: a book published in November.
It is called the myth of love"m-y-t-h-s.
This is the myth of Greece and Rome. it is my interpretation of love, just like Leida and Swan.
Now, I don't want to talk more about the book as it's not yet published.
However, this is the answer to your question.
I found something interesting to do and when I called people knew who I was and I was lucky.
So life is good for you. I am fortunate.
I was lucky to live in New York.
I was lucky enough that I could afford the car service to Washington Heights, where I had been in the same apartment for 50 years, overlooking the Hudson River.
My daughter and family live 10 minutes from my house, my son lives in Ottawa and is on a plane for an hour.
My apartment has just been renovated by designer Nate Berkuse-r-k-u-s.
He used to work with Oprah.
When he had his TV show, he decorated it, and then I was on his show, before and after 141 pages of his coffeetable book.
It is called "something important ".
It shows how I collected the turtles.
Not a living turtle, but a variety of statues. Why turtles?
If a turtle stays in one place, it is safe because it has a house on its back.
That turtle won't happen.
There is another reason for the turtle.
The "turtle" in German is called "scissors fish ". ” S-c-i-s-c-h-i-l-d-k-r-o-e-t-e.
This is the brand name of the doll I used to have before I had to leave my grandmother in Frankfurt --
My parents are already in the labor camp.
Therefore, the symbol of the turtle connects me with my past and my childhood, a happy childhood.
So the answer to your question is: I don't need to look for a career like playing a bridge.
I'm not against people who play bridge, but I'm interested enough in what I do, writing books, giving advice, having a brand
New TV Show
Play 10 minutes a week on Shalom TV
It's a small cable station.
They are showing it for the review "the wisdom of the Doctor"Ruth.
"Not everyone has the energy to go out every night. . . .
I won't let anyone call me until 9: 00. m.
I slept until 9 or 8 from midnight. 30.
I said these days, don't call me before 10. ’ [She laughs.
So I have enough energy outside.
Do you exercise regularly?
No, but I did see some brand stuff. new I like.
I take a lot of taxis.
In New York, there is now a woman in the taxi who teaches you to exercise while you ride.
She tells you to pick up your wallet with one hand and count to 10 with the other. Sit straight.
Pull your stomach and count to 10. I love it.
This means that you are using your time effectively.
I sometimes use my time effectively by sleeping.
I will tell the taxi if I fall asleep because I have been living in a residential area and make sure you wake me up.
This is a better idea.
Let's talk about your suggestion.
What do you hear from people about the biggest concerns about sex with age?
Biggest concern
The right thing is
Erection for men.
This is one of the reasons why I came out with wine [Dr.
Ruth's "Amor", a low line
Alcoholic wine from California.
It's only 6% alcohol.
Drink a little because everyone is under pressure;
Don't drink too much.
She fell asleep and he couldn't get an erection.
This is especially true for the elderly.
I told the elderly, "Don't expect the same intensity of your sexual response.
Having sex in the morning, when testosterone levels are highest, after a good night's sleep for her.
Have some breakfast, hang the phone on the hook and go back to bed.
"Some things are common sense, but people don't know.
That's why I wrote this book after I was 50.
"Even though we talk about sex a lot, we shouldn't think people know about it all.
Women need to know something.
My book Sex Talk has something that every woman needs to know.
I did it with the gynecologist Amos glumboom.
I was looking for a gynecologist because there were many medical problems.
As people grow older, the climax is less responsive.
Men do not respond so strongly to ejaculation.
I said, "make the most of everything you have.
"Don't tell me this was the case before.
I know all this.
Make the most of what you can do now.
What about yourself as a widow?
No personal problems!
But I'm going to tell you something interesting.
I was just in Washington.
I got the Margaret Sanger Award.
President Obama kissed me.
I haven't washed my face since then.
So I told the story of my late husband, Fred.
He loves Diane Sawyer.
Once, "60 Minutes" came to my apartment.
I don't want to say to Fred, "You can't go home.
So we sat down and the first question was Diane Sawyer, and she said, "Sir.
How's your sex life?
He replied:
I recorded it.
"The children of the Shoemaker have no shoes.
"So I tell you, in the Talmud, the Jewish tradition says that the lesson of humor is the lesson that has been retained.
Has your audience changed as you get older?
The problem has not changed.
There is a lot of loneliness.
There are many people who are divorced or separated, or who have never found a partner.
What people say is the same: no time, tired, can't find the right person.
The family does not agree with that person. Some affairs.
He found someone in bed with his best friend. And, and, and.
The basic problem has not changed.
Is romance dead?
I think we need to talk more.
I don't think it's romantic, but it's not enough.
I tell you what else I'm worried about.
I saw the young man holding his hand and texting the other hand.
People will lose the ability to talk, not just young people, the elderly will lose the ability to talk.
They have been interviewing the news all the time.
They lost their ability to concentrate.
Is there any problem?
It will have an impact on this relationship.
I believe in a good relationship.
I have no objection to those who have a phone call;
I have an iPhone.
But I hope people don't lose their ability to connect with each other.
I want to touch someone when I want to be with them.
I don't want them on the Internet.
That doesn't mean I don't want the elderly to talk to their grandchildren.
What I want is balance.
What about the increased incidence of HIV/AIDS among the elderly?
Yes, they think
Young people, they think
They don't have to worry.
They did not see AIDS patients walking around.
They have no friends who died.
If they have AIDS, there is medication.
I have seen an increase in indiscriminate activities between young and old people.
What do you think?
I think we have to talk about [how] not being stupid and careful.
First, get to know each other before they go to bed.
Know each other, even for the elderly.
If you get irritated, go home and masturbate until you know the other person is safe.
You can use the hand or the vibrator.
I even recognized a porn actor. e-r-o-Like "eros"
Because the person who came up with it was a scientist in Switzerland, he came up with an electric toothbrush.
I think I can endorse his eroscillator if he comes up with an electric toothbrush.
What do you want your legacy to be?
I think people say she has the courage.
It is called chutzapa in Jewish tradition.
She has the courage to talk about things that others are too worried to talk about.
She hopes to help prevent accidental pregnancy and help some people have a better sex life until the later stages of their lives.
Even a climax.
I don't mind if people say that my radio show is of interest to them;
I think it's great. I have a foreplay for you.
But take it seriously.
Don't let boredom get into your bedroom.
