Dr. Ruth Westheimer turns 94 on June 4 and shares her plans and wishes for her birthday (including a copy of her revised book on 'Everyman's Nightstand')... Ruth Westheimer made plans for her 94th birthday on June 4, and the renowned sex therapist didn't let a small birthday party stop her from offering advice to others.

"These are words to live by," said Dr. Ruth to PEOPLE. "To make sure he doesn't put his sex life aside even in old age. But to keep him alive."

Dr. Ruth did her part to help others follow her advice by releasing a revised edition of her book, The Art of Arousal, which was published earlier this year - and one of her birthday wishes was to publish the book Everyone's to see a nightstand. "This new edition of the book," he told PEOPLE, "contains a more diverse voice and story than the original 1993 edition.

No partner? No problem: "You can achieve sexual satisfaction by reading some of the stories in this book." he has been a public icon since his WYNY radio show, Sexually Speaking, in 1980. Since then, he has published dozens of books and been part of documentaries, including one about his own life, Ask Dr. Ruth. The 2019 documentary charted his journey from being a Holocaust orphan became a leading expert, and when it was released, he said he would "never — next question!" give up.

And although he has no plans to retire, he admits it makes more sense to turn down invitations these days, including the birthday party his kids Miriam and Joel have planned for him. ("We'll do it next year when I'm 95!") But in addition to a sitting walker, Dr. To says something else to Ruth on this milestone birthday.

"This is my birthday wish: I want to be an ambassador for many people in the fight against loneliness. Old people, young people, birthdays, everyone," said Dr. Ruth. "Loneliness [the pandemic] is something that will be with us for a long time… [I want to] offer sound advice to people who will still have relationship problems and loneliness problems even after the epidemic is over.
