Hi, this is Pierre Lehu, Dr. Ruth Westheimer's “Minister of Communications” since 1981. I believe the information Dr. Ruth communicated here was too important to fade away so I intend to continue to pass on information on X that I believe her followers would want to know about.

My parents put me on a train to safety in Switzerland. They would gladly have boarded with me but that option wasn't possible. Anti-Semites need to learn the truth and stop lying!.

Ever noticed a typo right after you hit Send? Annoying, isn't it. But nothing compared to the awful feeling that comes after having a man send a shot of sperm into a woman's vagina when he promised to withhold it. Condoms can't prevent typos but they can keep you safe during sex.

If you're going to have sex this weekend with a partner of the opposite sex & you'll be using a contraceptive, take a moment to consider that there are political forces trying to take the right to use contraceptives away from you and how that will affect your sex life.

As someone who was severely wounded in Israel's 1948 War of Independence, of course I stand with Israel today. But those wounds also help me to identify with all the dead and wounded on both sides. This is a terrible tragedy which sadly won't end soon.

#tbt this past weekend at my friends Jessica and Rafi’s wedding I met Dr. Ruth who has talked more openly and for a longer time about sex than anyone else. She’s a pioneer and a total badass. She told everyone at the rehearsal dinner to try a new position that night.

I've been pushing the use of contraceptives for a long, long time and one of the main reasons is to prevent unintended pregnancies that lead to abortions. But abortions must remain legal and I' so glad voters all across the country stood up for a woman's right to choose.

My guess is that parents who get so upset because their child has seen a naked penis on a statue are raising children who are going to have sexual issues when they get older. Sex, and the sexual organs, are natural, not something to be ashamed of.

Just remember that when performing oral sex, you don't have to swallow if you don't want to.
Scientists for the first time have caught a star in the act of swallowing a planet. And not just a nibble or bite, but one big gulp. Astronomers reported what appears to be a gas giant around the size of Jupiter or bigger being eaten by its star.
