Sexpert Dr. Susan Block Featured in Vice's 'Sex Before the Internet'

LOS ANGELES — Dr. Susan Block, aka Dr. Suzy, recently appeared on episode five of Vice TV’s “Sex Before the Internet” series, discussing her experiences working on HBO’s pioneering sex-ed show “Real Sex” and its impact.

The episode, titled “Sex on TV,” highlights Block’s participation on “Real Sex.” She went from making cameo appearances on a few of the very first episodes to being featured on “Real Sex 11” in 1995, and then again on “Real Sex 25” in 1999.

The “Sex on TV” episode opens with footage from “Real Sex 25” featuring Block’s signature monologue, which begins, “Brothers and sisters, lovers and sinners…” and discusses ethical hedonism. 

That moment is followed by a present-day interview with Dr. Suzy, during which she states that “Real Sex” was “a sexual revolution — for television.” 

“Sex on TV” also incorporates a “Real Sex 11” clip of Dr. Suzy broadcasting her live syndicated radio show from bed 28 years ago, juxtaposed with her present-day studio as she broadcasts alongside her husband and still helps callers with their love lives, sharing “sex… fun… wisdom.”

“HBO was the place to go for adult entertainment that was as smart as it was sexy in those spicy, sex-exploratory years surrounding the turn of the 21st century,” said Block. “In many ways, HBO’s 'Real Sex' was unprecedented in television history and unsurpassed ever since. It also happened to be open-minded, informative, educational, empathetic, relatively nonjudgmental, funny and a lot of fun.”
