Sue Johanson, the beloved Canadian broadcaster who in her golden years enraptured a generation with straightforward sex advice, is dead at 93, a representative confirmed to CBC News on Thursday.
Johanson died in a long-term care home in Thornhill, Ont., just north of Toronto, surrounded by her family, the representative said.
The broadcaster was best known for hosting the Canadian call-in radio and then television program Sunday Night Sex Show, which led to a successful U.S. spinoff called Talk Sex With Sue Johanson.
Born in Toronto, Johanson began her career as a nurse, receiving her training in Winnipeg. During the 1970s, she opened a birth control clinic at her daughter Jane's high school and ran it for almost two decades.
Safe and effective.

How long before she is vilified as not promoting LBGTQetc?
Well, she also occasionally caught flak for inserting an abstinence message into her speeches in High School (at least in the Eighties, when she visited my school), with things like rolling her eyes and saying: “...and let me tell you right now: ‘Everybody’s doing it is the poorest and lamest excuse in the book!’
I think, in the long run, she actually did a lot of good....

I couldn’t disagree more. She understood the mechanics but had no understanding at all of what God intended when he ‘invented sex’.... and this lack of understanding unfortunately tainted every piece of advice she gave.
As Bob or Doug McKenzie would say: “Pull out, eh!”
To be absolutely honest, I’d rather learn about sex from Scarlett Johansson. But I’m sure this woman was lovely. Just not as lovely as Scarlett.
**...what God intended...**
I am sooooo grateful for my mother who sat me down when I turned 16, locked her eyes on mine, and gave me what was truly a ‘serious as life and death’ talk.
It helped being a late bloomer, as I didn’t stop growing until 19, and had nothing much to shave until then as well. Therefore, I wasn’t attactive to the pretty girls I was interested in. So, ‘getting it on’ wasn’t going to happen. I also was taught to respect the opposite sex, and... myself.
Mom’s advice, and being patient won me an awesome wife (our 45th is in 6 weeks, and I’m soooo glad we learned together).
She died childless or abandoned?
More sex education was needed.
