So....who remembers Dr Ruth?

I made reference to her in another thread. I thought I would see how many old folks on here remember her, or if I’m the only one.

In my youth, I thought she was kind of funny on fairly conservative television programming back in the 80’s and 90’s, I think.

A little old lady(at least old to my eyes at the time) with a thick German accent talking about explicit sexual topics on normal television programming.

Yeah, it was quite a gimmick: a cute, sweet, little old woman talking about penis size and orgasms. She was a popular celebrity there for awhile.

I lived in the south where we had “abstinence awareness” instead of sex ed.

Watched a lot of Dr Ruth.

She tackled those weird, uncomfortable subjects effortlessly.

She was a queen.

And a total badass in her youth too.

I remember a host having to stop her explaining that you could “lubricate” your breasts to get a man off…haha…she would say anything.

I watched one show and someone wanted to know if it was ok to put an onion ring on a penis.

Yeah I remember the old gal, she used to make guest appearances on everything. I think she also had her own show at one point but I cant recall if it was on tv or radio.

I remember Dr. Ruth!

I always found her talks about masturbation comforting.

She’s punk af, and way ahead of her time.
