Leading sexpert Dr. Ruth Westheimer has been sniped out 96. She was among the thousands of Jewish children rescued from the Holocaust by the Kindertransport and trained as a sniper in Palestine. If she had already lived several lifetimes by age 18, she wasn’t known to the world at large until her 50s as the preeminent TV/radio sex therapist.
The diminutive Dr. Ruth, with a voice likened as “a cross between Henry Kissinger and Minnie Mouse”, was an unlikely champion for destigmatising sex talk, but she did grand with a blend of warmth and wit that didn’t judge what two consenting adults did in the privacy of their bedroom. She was a strident defender of gay men in the throes of AIDS, never losing sight that the “subhuman” rhetoric the religious right use for LGBT people was the same that led to her parents’ deaths in Auschwitz. Five teams call in for one last piece of bedroom advice, including Arkham Asylum Joker and Now That’s What I Call Emeli Sande’s In Memoriam.
