Second guest: Sue Johanson, the sexpert from the Oxygen Network's Talk Sex. Johanson is a nurse who established a birth control center in Canada in the 70s. From there, she went back to college to get the classes necessary to teach sex education to high school students. Over time, she became a noted speaker on sex and sexuality, eventually ending up with her own talk show.

My poor Craigsy, you are so easily flustered when it comes to discussing sex. Sue Johanson was correct when she said it's healthy to talk about sex, healthy to have sex. All that's required is the consenting adults. I found it odd that she couldn't talk to her own children about anything other than the basics of sex. I understand that it can be embarrassing, but you have to believe that you've raised your children well enough to have frank discussions with them. Of course, that's easy for me to say. My daughter and I had the talk a couple years ago and my son is currently not interested in much beyond "where do babies come from?" I guess she may have a point; talking to a stranger about sex seems easier.

The best part of having access to experts like Johanson is that we can ask those questions we're too afraid to ask our doctors. However, we should remember that talking with our partners is essential when it comes to maintaining healthy relationships. If you can talk to them about sex, you can talk to them about anything.

I'm sure I was the only viewer who found it sweet that there was a little playful flirting and teasing going on between you and Sue Johanson, Craig. How sweet!

I fully enjoyed the show last night. The Mighty Ferguson used all his gentle interview skills to draw his guests into delightfully revealing conversation. That's what I like.

As usual, I can't wait for the next show. Until then, my feathery little homing pigeon...

Your cheeky wee monkey and saucy little minx,

Joanie

About the author: Joan's fascination and adoration of Craig Ferguson is little more than silly fantasy, with a dash of lust, the likes of which are common amongst single 39 year-old women. She lives many miles safely south of Los Angeles and CBS Studios. If Craig were on Survivor, he'd be the only one she'd want to reach the final two with her. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Plus, he'd be running around in shorts and getting all sweaty, which normally isn't all that appealing but somehow really works for her in a Survivor scenario. Eh, go figure.
