Week 28 update

One death this week, Dr Ruth Westheimer: Legendary sex therapist Dr Ruth dead at age 96 | Sex | The Guardian

Quote

The legendarily frank sex therapist and cultural icon Dr Ruth Westheimer, known simply as Dr Ruth, has died at the age of 96, according to her publicist.

Her training and expertise and her humorous, accepting manner contrasted with her high-pitched German accent and diminutive frame (she was 4ft 7in), a juxtaposition that helped to catapult her local radio program, Sexually Speaking, into the national spotlight in the early 1980s.

She later parlayed its success into a television career that was even more successful. The Dr Ruth Show attracted more than 2 million viewers a week by 1985. On the show, Westheimer used humor, warmth and occasional seriousness in her attempts to explore sex and to break various taboos, including on contraception and abortion.

Since she wrote forty books on the subject I can't really do justice to her sexual advice here, but I did enjoy this quote from her Wikipedia page:

Make believe it's an ice cream cone.

—Westheimer, upon being asked for advice as to how to perform oral sex on a man.[57]

Westheimer died at 96 so she's worth 29 Base Points for @buddiepaul, with a Solo Shot taking that to 79 points.

And finally, the most mis-spelled entry in Dead Pool history is no more.

I'm sure someone will pick her for next year and maybe even mis-spell her name RIP

I'm sure she was my longest running member my squad, almost due a testimonial IIRC. 

RIP in peace. 

 

I got the fear I'd dropped her this year as I'd dropped a few of the long term duffers but nope. 8)
