Sex educator Sue Johanson, host of ‘Talk Sex,’ dead at 93

Sue Johanson, the Canadian sex educator who informed a generation about everything from the birds and the bees to birth control, has died. She was 93.

Filmmaker Lisa Rideout — who directed the 2022 documentary about Johanson, “Sex With Sue” — told The Post that Johanson died Wednesday in Toronto of natural causes.

Rideout shared news of her death Thursday on social media.

“Sue Johanson passed away at 93 years old. Sue paved the way for how we talk about sex and sexuality today, unafraid of shattering taboos,” the “Sex With Sue” film account tweeted.

“Canada lost a national treasure today but Sue’s legacy will continue to make positive change for decades to come. We love you Sue.”

Born in Toronto on March 13, 1930, Johanson became a registered nurse before marrying an electrician, Ejnor Johanson, in 1953. The couple had three kids: Carol, Eric and Jane.

In 1970, Johanson opened a first-of-its-kind birth control clinic in a Toronto high school and worked there as a coordinator for 18 years.

She later became a counselor and sex educator.

In the ’80s, Johanson used her sex educator status to launch a successful radio show called “Sunday Night Sex Show.”

The program transitioned into a TV talk show in 1985, airing on a community channel before going national on the Women’s Television Network from 1996 to 2005.

The American version of the show, called “Talk Sex with Sue Johanson,” aired on Oxygen from 2002 until 2008.

She also wrote three books: “Talk Sex,” “Sex Is Perfectly Natural but Not Naturally Perfect,” and “Sex, Sex, and More Sex.”

In 2001, Johanson was honored with Canada’s second highest civilian honor, the Order of Canada, for educating the public on safe sex and birth control.

The Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies gave her the Bonham Centre Award in 2010 for her work educating about sexual identification.
