Canadian granny talks sex in the US

[pritchke]

Well I will say that Sue has quite an informative, educational show and we have had her on a show up here for 9 years. You will be surprised at the things you don't know or really wanted to know but were afraid to ask. Now Sue seems to be making waves in the US. Good for her!!!

How a Canadian granny became the darling of Letterman and the American media

By now, Canadians take Johanson for granted. Yeah, she's that septuagenarian sex lady who speaks at our colleges, or whom we secretly watch on late-night TV. It's that wacky show where she slings around sex toys and, with a straight face, gives tips on oral sex or finding the G-spot. She doesn't shock us anymore, and we don't even think about how much she's helped this country open up and talk about sex. But she has -- and she's got the Order of Canada to prove it.

It's a whole different story in the U.S. There, she's new, she's outrageous and she's providing a service they are absolutely desperate for. In January 2002, Oprah Winfrey's Oxygen network started playing reruns of Johanson's call-in program, Sunday Night Sex Show (which has been running in Canada on W for nine years). It was extremely popular -- but the U.S. viewers were frustrated by the fact that they couldn't call in. So the network asked Johanson to tape a second show each week, Talk Sex with Sue Johanson, for American callers only -- the first ever U.S. phone-in show to be done live from Canada. Just last month Talk Sex, one of the network's highest rated programs, pulled in 2.7 million viewers. Sue Johanson has become a household name, although down there they shorten it to Sue Jo.

Sue's Top 10 Myths

As host of call-in sex shows in both Canada and the U.S., Sue Johanson has a pretty good idea of just how deluded we can be about sex. Ten of the most common sexual myths she encounters:

1. if you have sex in the bath, you won't get pregnant

2. nice girls don't carry condoms

3. it always hurts the first time you have sex

4. homosexuals always have strong mothers and weak fathers

5. sexual education promotes sexual activity

6. if you masturbate, you'll have a lower sperm count

7. a guy can get trapped in a vagina

8. a penis pump will make the penis larger

9. if you swallow ejaculate it will give you big breasts, clear up acne and eliminate menstrual cramps

10. a man can always tell if a woman is faking orgasm

I love watching Talk Sex. Sue's one of Canada's best exports. It's so funny to watch her do "show and tell" with the new sex toys each week.

Oh, I'm a huge fan of Sue. You'd be surprised how quickly you can get over the fact that it's an older woman talking like that.

"1. if you have sex in the bath, you won't get pregnant"

heh, well, you should also include that having sex in a hot tub or bath (especially one shared by many) is a most effective way to transmit VD and other bacterial diseases. (source: some magazine in their ask doctor so and so section)

"2. nice girls don't carry condoms"

no, GOOD girls don't carry condoms... but we arent looking for GOOD girls, we're looking for even tempered freaky girls... (every guy should know this)

"3. it always hurts the first time you have sex"

heh, it depends on the boyfriend for this one... if she says you can put it in and youre already done, there might be a problem.

"4. homosexuals always have strong mothers and weak fathers"

good call, but in a majority of cases with homosexuals in medical studies one or more of twelve conditions existed in the developemental environment of the child. i'd go into this, but its unrelated and would start a HUGE fight.

"7. sexual education promotes sexual activity"

i wouldnt exactly say this is wrong... but its not really right either. i remember that i loved the pictures in our sex ed book (no, not the VD pictures... i know some of you sickos dig that stuff)

"6. if you masturbate, you'll have a lower sperm count"

no, not ppmL, but volume, yes. if you masturbate then the next time you ejaculate you will have a lower volume of semen released. it takes one full day (more or less) for the male reproductive system to fully replenish itself

"7. a guy can get trapped in a vagina"

oh, yes, because being stuck having sex would be the WORST thing in the world... although if she was a troll and you were just on wingman duty, then i guess that could be bad after all.

"8. a penis pump will make the penis larger"

well, only temporarily, as soon as the vacuum pump section is removed the swelling due to increased blood drawn by the vacuum is released and the swelling goes back down. altogether completely unhealthy practice. (source- sex ed class)

"9. if you swallow ejaculate it will give you big breasts, clear up acne and eliminate menstrual cramps"

no, this is true. girls, ejaculate is the best thing in the world to eat (in fact, for vegetarians, its also a GREAT source of protein)(source- every guy should know this)

"10. a man can always tell if a woman is faking orgasm"

this is woman specific (ie-- based on acting talent). generally one can tell because during orgasm the blood flow to the chest is increased and most (in the ninety percentile) will exibit a slight pink flush to the chest in the region between the breasts. no pink hue showing up? not likely a real orgasm. (source: Some magazine in their ask doctor so and so section)

oh the joys of having a mind like an encyclopedia...
