She lost her virginity atop a pile of hay on a kibbutz.<\/strong><\/p>\n As an orphan after the Holocaust, in which her parents were killed, Westheimer immigrated to what was then the British Mandate of Palestine \u2014\u00a0which is where this steamy encounter took place.<\/p>\n She \u201cfound solace\u201d with a sexy male nurse during Israel\u2019s War of Independence.<\/strong><\/p>\n Westheimer trained as a sniper in the Haganah (a precursor to the IDF) for Israel\u2019s War of Independence in 1948. After she was\u00a0injured in\u00a0a bombing, one male nurse she met while recovering eased her pain.<\/p>\n Her first love was a boy named Putz.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, Putz, as in a Yiddish saying Westheimer\u00a0paraphrased recently<\/a>, attributing it to the Talmud: \u201cVen der Putz shtayt, der saychel gayt,\u201d literally (according to JTA\u2019s unofficial Yiddish translator, author\u00a0Shulem Deen<\/a>), \u201cWhen the penis \u2018stands,\u2019 the brains walk out.\u201d She still visits Putz\u00a0in Israel every year.<\/p>\n Losing her parents in the Holocaust\u00a0shaped her views on sex and relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think sexuality became part of my identity then. But I do believe that my insistence on relationships, on people wanting to have a significant other, that certainly was shaped by that experience,\u201d Westheimer said.<\/p>\n She doesn\u2019t agree with the Jewish psychoanalysis founder\u00a0Sigmund Freud\u2019s theories about female sexuality.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWe certainly know that Freud was wrong,\u201d Westheimer said. \u201cHe should have taken a class with me, because he said any woman who doesn\u2019t have a vaginal orgasm is an immature woman. We know that that\u2019s not so.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Share](\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\")
