What a lady she was, helping shift all of us forward in a normally taboo subject.

Sue was such a legend when I remember listening to her show back in the 90s! She normalized all aspects of sex for at least a few generations! What a loss for us all.

She will always be an icon. ❀

Saw her at a local university, she was a fantastic speaker and I learned lots! Happy I got to experience her.

What a treasure.

Rest in peace. ❀

Sue stood up against the puritanical and the tyrannical. She helped us feel understand our bodies, and feel better about ourselves. What better service to humankind can there be?

I loved her. She was an amazing teacher and outstanding Canadian ❀️

My wife still has a purchase she made from Sue's shop.

Which reminds me, I should buy some batteries on my way home from work...

So yeah, SuJo came on an episode of Conan O'Brien, directly after Paul "Big Show" Wight, and proceeded to embarrass them both. It's great. RIP, queen.

I grew up watching her, but I never knew she got to stick a vibrator in Tom Selleck's moustache. Legendary. Thanks for sharing this!

The way she comes out and starts pushing celebrities around like they're kids is fantastic. What a strong, youthful woman.

I grew up watching her show in NB on (iirc) Showcase, always loved her and how direct and 'human' she talks about sex. She will be missed greatly.

Sue was a legend and will be remembered in bedrooms around the nation (it may be somewhat awkward).

Side note, scanning my feed, I thought I had read "Scarlett Johansson... Dead" for a moment.

Everyone needs a Sue Johanson in their life. We are so much poorer for this loss.

Sue was a banger! Quite literally. Canadian icon, and we are all the better for the life she lived.
