"This is literally where I got my sex education from," wrote one user.
"Sue Johanson is a Canadian ICON," said another. "Probably every Gen-Xer watched the Sunday Night Sex Show."
Johanson was also known for using dolls and sex toys to visually illustrate positions and scenarios for a better understanding of what she was trying to explain.
"She would sling dildos around like swords," one Redditor hilariously wrote, which is true.
Another shared a memory of getting schooled by the educator's frank approach.
"One of my goofy ass friends loved her so much he called in (we were 15 at the time) and he started asking about weird kinky stuff and she just went with it and blew his mind with her knowledge," they explained.
She also helped people feel a little more at ease with their own bodies.
"Sue taught me that it wasn’t crazy abnormal that I have a crooked penis," one user shared.
And finally, one person shared what many probably feel is true.
"I learned about human reproduction from my parents, but it was from Sue that I learned about sex!"
Johanson's career was so prolific that she was recently the subject of a documentary called Sex With Suethat gave some insider details into her life, such as her time at nursing school in Winnipeg where she was taught by nuns who were "very uncomfortable ladies who never talked about sex."
As well, Canadian comedian Russell Peters shared one of his fond memories from watching Johanson back in the day.
"I remember her giving a hand job to a cucumber and showing you how to hold it for a blow. I was like, wow, this is wild," Russell recalled.
Thanks for the education and the memories, Sue!
