Betty & Masturbation #1 on the Guardian

Let's have three cheers for the woman - Betty F*cking Dodson - who has the #1 article on the Guardian for the last 24 hours with over 1,000 comments.  It's riddled with fabulous one-liners from the Dodson but the best part is the title: Masturbation: the secret to a long life

I always tell Betty that her work is beyond criticism because she's 85, healthy, and still in the game. She's a testament to her own philosophy of selflove and independent orgasms.

Thank you, Stephanie, for the best Betty Dodson article to date. Here's my favorite line...when describing the Bodysex workshops Betty admitted:

Betty's Best 2 Minute Interview

As soon as Ruptly's producer Greg walked through the front door, I knew Betty was going to love him (killer dimples).  This 2 minute interview is sheer brilliance.  It's the essence of Betty and her philosophy. 

And he kept the camera rolling and caught some of our best off-color banter.  Gotta love a piece with an organic "cunt":

I Can't "Get" How to Squeeze My PC Muscle, Exhale & Lift My Hips At the Same Time

Dear Dr. Betty,

I experience what I believe are very intense clitoral orgasms with my partner, but have never achieved vaginal orgasm. My partner and I have been working on bringing me to orgasm this way, but haven't been successful (despite his very patient and persistent efforts).

After doing some research, I came across your rock and roll technique and have been trying to practice "relaxing" (I think the majority of my orgasms have been tension-related). However, despite all my practice, I feel like I just can't "get" how to squeeze my PC muscles, exhale, and lift my hips all at the same time. In fact, it feels much more natural for me to do the opposite: squeeze and exhale while I lower my hips.

Betty Dodson has been on the planet for 85 years today...teaching, creating, leading, and keeping it real.

She's enjoying the last few days of her vacation and will be back in nyc next week.  Our first order of business will be designing our first advanced bodysex workshop for women seeking certification.  Betty's work will be saved for the ages and bodysex will go mainstream.

I thank the goddess every day for sharing this wonderful soul with humankind.  I <3 you, Miss Dodson.

Last Night I had My Very First Ever in My Life Fully Satisfying Orgasm

Dearest Betty,

I know this is nothing you haven't heard before, but: You changed my life!!!!!

I have a very happy update to share with you after our session (and I am also sharing it with all of my close friends!):

Last night I had my very first ever in my life fully satisfying orgasm!!!!!

Just to refresh you, since I know you meet and talk to many, many women - I am 37 and had only ever masturbated by crossing my legs and pulsing before I went to visit you.

After our session, I ordered both the Hitatchi Magic Wand and the Eroscillator. The Hitatchi arrived first and I tried it a couple of times, just over my clothes and without much ceremony. I could feel my orgasm muscles spasming in response, but I wouldn’t say it really felt good. I was not really into it.

Betty Dodson's Bodysex Workshop DVD

$20.00

Running Time 94 minutes. Bonus Features 20 minutes. DVD is region free, NTSC

This DVD is also available on Amazon.


Betty held her bodysex workshops for over 25 years - they grew out of the consciousness raising groups feminists started in the 1970's.  Women would gather together and talk first person about their personal lives. 

Betty took it one step further and had women talk about their sex lives.  It's how she learned that most women had genital shame and didn't know how to stimulate themselves to orgasm.

Betty Penning Liberating Masturbation in the Nude

After Ms. Magazine published Betty's article "Getting to Know Me", she was flooded with requests for her 18 page manuscript (the manuscript that didn't exist).

She was living in San Francisco when she set out to write the feminist classic Liberating Masturbation.  I love this picture because it's so Betty - sitting in the goddess pose in the nude with papers and vulva sketches all around her.  Little did she know that her 18-page booklet would become her international best seller Sex for One.

Betty Doing a Hand Stand

This is one of the pictures we've added to the revised edition of Betty's memoir (Betty doing a hand stand on the roof of her building circa 1970).  We added another 50 images, one new chapter AND, yesterday, I sent off the final files to createspace.

In less than a month, print editions of Betty's memoir will be available here and all the big book sites.  Betty spent 25 years writing it and I spent the last 3 years on the edit (we did a soft release to keep us focused).

So proud of Betty for keeping the story real and giving up the $ to make it "commercial".  So proud of myself for rummaging through all of Betty's photos, remembering which stories had to be told, and getting us to print while caring for a newborn.

I Discovered the Bottom Line of Sexual Repression

When I self published Liberating Masturbation I had no idea how dramatically my life would change. Over night I became a spokesperson for this basic activity that America had demeaned, condemned and religions named a sin. Oh, I was a sinner alright, but being raised by atheist parents, I paid little attention to organized religions.

Deconstruct the F*ck

A concept that is important in partner sex is how we communicate.

We are told it’s important to talk with our sex partners about what we like during sex and to even demonstrate how we like it. For instance, when it comes to clitoral stimulation, we can demonstrate by touching a lovers arm with our preferred pressure. Or a guy can use his lover’s finger to demonstrate his preference for cock sucking. Any conversation that includes this kind of show and tell will improve every couple’s lovemaking.

We say it every time but this past weekend's workshop was the best one yet.

When we chose the dates for our Summer session, I was in my last trimester. I had no idea how I was going to pull it all off with a three-month old baby...would I be able to set up the room and do all the physical work that goes into a workshop...would Grayson be able to sit in the back room without screaming his head off...would I be sleeping enough to be present in the circle? I had total first-time-mom gitters.

My Monogamous History

$

In my twenties, I was a very traditional young woman. Once I had sex with a boyfriend, he had to promise to only have sex with me. Of course my being faithful was assumed. Thus began my mini-monogamous romantic sex affairs that lasted a few months to a year or so throughout the decade of my twenties.

Getting married at 29 made me to question a sexual practice that was taken for granted. After all, marriage is a contract meant to last a lifetime while all those mini-monogamies had an expiration date. Although I was on the rebound dumped by my last beloved, I was also exhausted from trying to survive as a commercial artist working free-lance while I longed to pursue fine art full time.
