Many moons ago, a young Kiki Wellington discovered Dr. Ruth Westheimer’s radio show and was mesmerized by this grandmotherly figure with the German accent dispensing sex advice — much of which she didn’t even understand. Today, I do understand the advice Dr. Ruth gives to help us all have good sex, and these quotes are some of her insights — not only on sex and relationships, but numerous areas of our lives.

1. “A lesson taught with humor is a lesson retained.”

2. “Skiers make the best lovers because they don’t sit in front of a television like couch potatoes. They take a risk and they wiggle their behinds. They also meet new people on the ski lift.”

3. “One of my secrets to getting the most from life is that I naturally forget bad things that have happened to me.”

4. “What’s the best gift you can give your partner? A massage.”

5. “Political conventions are boring. On the other hand, when two people convene under the sheets, now that’s interesting!”

6. “You can either give in to negative feelings or fight them, and I’m of the belief that you should fight them.”
