Episode where Ruth Ann states her view on the simplicity of sex...


...and how gay sex is just sex, period. She gives a very sensible down to Earth opinion on "the act" that has stuck with me all these years. Anyone know the episode?

If you mean when Ruth-Anne tells Maurice that "sex is the jungle" and applauds everyone on how creative we are when it comes to sex: "Mister Sandman" [5.12].

The aurora borealis makes everyone swap dreams: Ron is having Maurice's dreams that expose Maurice's shoe fetish, and pretty soon Ron and Erick are ribbing Maurice about how Cicely needs a ladies' shoe store.

There is some great jazz going on in a couple of those dream segments, and the blonde who comes into the shoe store in one of them is quite sexy.

All I remember is she is essentially saying gay sex is just sex, it shouldn't be viewed or interpreted any different than straight sex, it doesn't mean anything different, it is just sex, period. This is in reference to the gay couple that move to town.

Understood. "Mister Sandman" S5E12.
