The Recession: Tough On Your Pockets, Tougher On Your Privates

Jessica G. — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:30:00 EDT

In times of trouble, we all like to turn to a guru we know and trust: Dr. Ruth. On the Forbes website, the tiniest sex doctor in the U.S. cautions that sometimes sexual recessions and fiscal recessions go hand in hand. Dr. Ruth discusses the case of a sexually frustrated wife, whose husband was not in the mood for sex because he feared he was going to lose his job. "He didn't tell her about his fears. He constantly imagined the dreaded day when he'd be called in to see his manager, sex was the last thing he craved," Dr. Ruth explains. "But since his wife didn't know what was going on—and since he was being especially silent about his activities during the day—she began to suspect that he was having an affair." Not surprisingly, Dr. Ruth prescribes a healthy dose of communication. More »

Hey, remember how YA author Lauren Conrad's designing the gowns for the "trophy girls" at next Sunday's Emmy Awards? "'I did green because green [is the] theme for the Emmys this year,' said Conrad, who also mentions using a diamond brooch, signifying the Emmy's 60th anniversary, to accessorize the gown."

Model Erin Wasson: "The people with the best style for me are the people that are the poorest. Like, when I go down to Venice beach and I see the homeless, like, I'm like, 'Oh my God, they're pulling out, like, crazy looks and they, like, pulled shit out of like garbage cans." Indeed, moddle. Indeed. [Nylon TV via Fashionista]

This just in! Dr. Ruth has a new book coming...

Jessica G. — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:20:00 EDT

This just in! Dr. Ruth has a new book coming out next month, and it's called Dr. Ruth's Guide to Teens and Sex Today: From Social Networking to Friends With Benefits. How awesome is it that a tiny, octogenarian lady is explaining the internet down to clueless parental types? She does have personal experience with teen sex, as she told the New York Times in 1987, "she first had sexual intercourse on a starry night, in a haystack - without contraception. 'I am not happy about that,' she admitted, 'but I know much better now and so does everyone who listens to my radio program.'" [Amazon] More »

Dr. Ruth Freaks Out Kathie Lee And Hoda With Masturbation Discussion

Tracie Egan Morrissey — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 14:00:00 EDT

Jezebel fave and OG sex educator Dr. Ruth turns 80 tomorrow, and she stopped by Today this morning to talk to Hoda and Kathie Lee, rolling her r's around words like "orgasm," "erection," "sperm." But it was when she talked about how important it is for women to masturbate that really freaked out the prim and proper Kathie Lee and Hoda (who, BTW, modeled her Spanx for the cameras about 30 minutes prior to this). Then the ladies brought out a birthday cake for the good doctor, and helped her blow out all 80 candles. She's the cutest! Clip above. More »

Shorties But Goodies

Jessica G. — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 17:20:00 EST

Good news for the shorties out there! Scientists have discovered a gene, which is associated with short stature in women, that is also linked to living a long life. The gene, called IGF1R, has been nicknamed the "Methuselah mutation," by Scientific American and was studied in Ashkenazi Jews aged 95-108 at the Institute for Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The Ashkenazi were the focus of the study because, according to Science Daily, they're more "genetically uniform than other groups, making it easier to spot gene differences that are present." This is especially excellent news for tiny, tiny Jew and Jezebel's personal sex guru Dr. Ruth, who is turning 80 this year. [Science Daily, Scientific American] More »

Dr. Ruth Personally Advises Us On Period Sex

Slut Machine — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 16:00:00 EST

On Saturday, some of the Jezebels went to brainstorm over S'mores at a coffee/sandwich shop, when, who should appear but Dr. Ruth. She shuffled by our table, all 50 inches of her — seriously, girlfriend is short! — and Anna was the first one to spot her. I was like, "Guys, I have to get my picture with her!" Anna said, "Yeah, and ask her about what she thinks about guys asking to come on your face on the first date." I convinced Dodai to walk over to Dr. Ruth to take our picture on my phone; she was sitting alone, reading a book. (You can't tell from this shot, but her glasses were lined in pink rhinestones. Cuteness!) She was really gracious — all smiles — and allowed me to pose for a picture with her. Then she turned back to her book, so I said, "I'm sorry, can I just ask you one question?" She smiled and said, "Yes, but make it quick." Ha! I briefly considered the cum-on-the-face thing, but thought, "Oh I can't. She's about to eat!" For some reason, I felt that period sex was a more appropriate mealtime topic for conversation. More »
