For six seasons, Sue Johanson has entertained and educated viewers on her Sunday night Talk Sex Show. This spry sex educator claims she realizes that 1am is not her finest hour. Considering that is the end of the show, it is understandable while this Canadian Icon who has spent decades educating Canadians about sex is leaving the show.

“I have been on television for 32 years,” she said. “I think it’s time. I figured if we haven’t got it by now, we’re not going to get it. We’ve got to make room for somebody else.”

This Order of Canada recipient says she was not pushed out by the network and praised them for giving her free rein to talk frank about anything and everything from STIs to Sex Toys. Oxygen said Talk Sex was its most popular late-night show and it had a large following among young viewers.

“I’m going to miss it terribly,” Johanson said. “It’s been part of my life and I just love it. I’m going to miss writing scripts. I’m going to miss having to read books. I’m going to miss playing with sex toys.”

This Juicebox girl is grateful that Johanson is not giving up her public appearances. Julia and I sat in for her chat at UBC in early 2008. The hall was packed. Hundreds of students sat with their legs crossed on the floor.

Her talk was entertaining and engaging. The questions from the avid listeners ranged from how to give great head (”Don’t be Miss Piggy and try to take it all in) to where to get a pubic hair curling iron. (We might have to ask Miss Melanie that next time we have her on to chat about “down there” hair styles).

She finished her chat touching on the topic of sex toys for boys. Ironically her last show on Oxygen airing this Sunday is focusing on the top sex toys of 2008. From the horse’s mouth here is a little teaser for boys:

Julia,

I plead at the throne of your expertise…what is the true deal on this article? It is claiming some women just don’t have G-spots, and will never have vag orgasms.

This must be hogwash, I mean, i know that just like snowflakes no two pussies are alike, but really, no G-spot??

Do share your thoughts on this one…please!

Hi Hilary, darling!

I’ve decided to write here because I bet listeners of JuiceBox Radio are interested in knowing more about this G spot issue….

In the womb, humans are an undifferentiated set of the same organ systems, set ready to be made into male or female sexual ‘parts’ (or in the case of 10% of human births, intersexuals, perhaps a combo in some way or another of sexual parts). The female G-spot is the same organ or set of tissue cells as the male prostate organ, and is attached to the urethra ‘tube’ inside our bodies. This is why the g-spot is sometimes referred to as the urethral sponge. I prefer this term but it’s not as sexy as the name given by the German guy who ‘discovered’ it and named it after himself.
If you are female (or mostly female parts) you will have a dense set of tissue attached to your urethra that may or may not be large enough to be felt or utilized for sexual pleasure - accessed from the inside of your vagina. If your spongy organ is sizeable and located where you can access it, it can be ‘found’ and pushed on, especially when aroused and filled with fluid from arousal, to produce a small, or large, amount of fluid, ejaculated/ejected through your urethra when orgasming.

A G-Spot orgasm is a different sort of orgasm but it is not a case of ‘clitoral vs. vaginal’. In a g-spot kind of orgasm, a woman will feel the spasm of orgasm and ejaculate some fluid (may or may not be super noticeable, but this gets to be more productive over time and use), and it will feel different from a clitoral orgasm. The vagina always orgasms when you orgasm. Spasms run up and down the vaginal walls where the muscles quiver in some way. Whether a g-spot, clitoral, or more ‘internal’ orgasm (ie. less focused feeling in the outer clit area, but more up inside - where the legs of your clit may be surrounding your vagina), the vaginal walls will spasm.
What else? Studies say that the Grafenberg spot was created by mother nature to aid in the birthing process. (Just think about how challenging it is to access - what penis is shaped like a hook??). Why else might the g-spot evolve to be a pleasure organ? Somewhere along the lines human babies evolved heads too large for women of our species to birth without dying, or being in often unbearable pain! Changes had to happen. I’ve read studies that say this gspot organ is like a morphine pump when we are pushing out a baby. Women have had birthing orgasms - yes, it’s true!

So, if you don’t have g-spot orgasms, but wish you could, let me warn you a little. I know of many women who have gotten a little greedy with this activity and sexual ecstasy has become an increasingly messy and dehydrating affair. Be creative and don’t always go after that urethral sponge ecstasy, ladies, or you might need a garbage bag and many towels every time you cum, and your bedroom might start smelling a bit like clover, 24/7.

I think cultivating all kinds and intensities of orgasm is an important practice for women and men. We don’t masturbate with intention nearly enough but this is the best way to get to know yourself, work on the kinds of orgasms you CAN have (yes, men too!), and then learn to communicate this to our lovers - for the best sex of our lives. The nicest part? It all gets better with age, girls. And boys, especially, keep up your exercise level (keep your vascular system and heart healthy) and be gentle with your penises, especially if circumsized. That glans of yours is getting worn out and dried out without the protective sheath of your foreskin, so using lube is a good practice when masturbating to keep it working into your old age.
