Do you want to learn how to do sex stuff better? This fall may be your chance. Teacher’s College alum Dr. Ruth Westheimer, the 84 year-old “sexpert” (let’s never use that word without putting it in quotes) plans on teaching a course at Columbia. The mention is buried in this very long and interesting article on Dr. Ruth’s life and continuing impact:

There is the new book, her 36th, a women’s guide to sexual health. She is putting her name on a wine, Dr. Ruth’s Vin D’Amour. In the fall, she plans to teach a class on families and television at Columbia University.

So the course apparently won’t explicitly be about sex, but surely she’ll hold office hours. Columbia doesn’t seem to have listed the course for the fall yet, so this may not be a sure thing, but keep your eyes open!

Just don’t fall asleep in class. Another nugget from the article: Dr. Ruth used to be a sniper in the Israeli army.
