Would they have a somebody on to discuss psychological dilemmas who doesn't have a degree is psychology, social work, mental health, etc.? People are experts in their field because of the academic credentials they have first and foremost. Funny enough, Dr. Ruth entered sexology without any background or training in sex. She's famous for her image - not for her sex knowledge. I think that this is fair.

I met Dr. Ruth once. She autographed a copy of "Sex for Dummies" for my then-boyfriend and myself. When we broke up, he kept the copy. I wonder if he still has it on his bookshelf at home, where his two young kids can see it. Hey! I met Dr. Ruth once. She autographed a copy of “Sex for Dummies” for my then-boyfriend and myself.

Actually I had to take it twice, since I failed the first time. Funny I know. But it was really that I overestimated my ability to make it to an 8am class and was out 4 times. It was a great class. The first day we filled blackboards with all the words for sex and sex organs we could think of. We filled all four big blackboards... several times. Another class had panels of people to talk to us about different sociological aspects of sex. It was fabulous but there wasn't any panelist that had a talking penis. That I would've really liked to see. I took human sexuality in college. Actually I had to take it twice, since I failed the first time. Funny I know.

As are my 25 years of experience as a journalist. I cant' put down any of my computer knowledge either. Only counts if you are certified.

I studied Chaucer, Medieval Lit, Restoration Drama/morality plays, AND Shakespeare. And, just to throw an extra dash of perversion into the ring, Joyce. So does this make me a sexologist by default? Or just a literary slut? Hm, so going by V-grrl’s entry…

No transcript credit, frank talk and free condoms. I kept trying to convince them that they should give us a "Life-time Sport" credit for it. They never bought it. But, I'll tell you what. I don't ice skate anymore. Back in the day, my college offered a “Human Sexuality Seminar” that was basically an evening sex education class. No transcript credit, frank talk and free condoms.
