The Autonomic Nervous System (pg 77-78)

I think out of everything Betty has written (that I’ve read so far), this portion explains best what an orgasm really is, how it is triggered, and how a woman can better support this natural nervous system reaction. I love how she explains, “I can’t will my body to come, just as I can’t make a decision to sneeze. But I can tickle my clitoris or my nose until my body responds with an orgasm or a sneeze, which are both autonomic reflexes.” What a great way to explain what’s happening to the body – having that description helps the teacher to better communicate/instruct and the student to better comprehend/use in real practice.
