Dr. Ruth Westheimer
The sex therapist and media personality whose advice and public persona frame the game's educational content.
How it plays
The game uses a question-and-answer presentation rather than an action-game viewpoint. The player progresses through prompts concerning sex, relationships, communication, and sexual knowledge, then reviews the program's response or advice.
Progression is organized around successive questions or discussion topics. No reliable documentation confirms additional playable modes, character-based objectives, scoring rules, or an exact branching structure for the DOS version.
Plan your run
Read each question carefully and treat the program as an educational reference rather than a test of reflexes. Consider the explanatory feedback before moving to the next topic.
Because detailed documentation of the DOS release is scarce, there is no verified optimal route, scoring strategy, or completion shortcut to list.
Meet the cast
The sex therapist and media personality whose advice and public persona frame the game's educational content.
Dr. Ruth's Computer Game of Good Sex is a DOS educational quiz and advice title built around the public persona of sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Rather than presenting an action-oriented game, it uses questions and informational material to address communication, relationships, sexual health, and intimate situations. The play style is primarily instructional: the player reads prompts, selects or enters responses, and receives explanatory feedback. Its subject matter and celebrity-led presentation made it an unusual release for home computers in the late 1980s. It is now chiefly remembered as a niche educational curiosity rather than a mainstream commercial success; reliable detailed information about its developer, publisher, and contemporary critical reception is limited.
