This trait completely shut down my true orgasm, which is often very loud and devotional. I will praise the Great Mother and/or my partner as I rise to climax. It took time to adjust to my true nature and the devotional frenzy the process of orgasm puts me in. On a good day,…Read more

My main feelings about this incredible privilege of being so close to the women who knew her, experienced her, learned directly from her are gratitude, awe, and pride in what women can accomplish.
Every time I imagine her creating Liberating Masturbation in the analog w…Read more

I so regret that I never heard her speak. I have to look up weather there was even a chance… When I grow up (or maybe just retire) I want to be able to give such an honest and entertaining recounting of my sexual history  (what I can remember anyway!)

There were times when she and Sheila would try something and it was pretty far out and then the women would balk and then Betty and Sheila would just keep going and try something e…Read more

Bodysex is a pathway to freedom from self-shaming and self-suppression. It is the legacy of a woman (Betty Dodson) who was courageous enough to believe in her capacity to teach from the…Read more

One was  first that we who were outspokenly feminist did not want to scare women away by getting two personal. We didn’t talk so openly in those days, at least I didn’t. Even in the feminist circles that I was running in I don’t remember any explicit discus…Read more

I would love to start going to weekly yoga classes to get flexible again. My body feels stagnant and movement resonates at the moment. Sunshine to my bare skin is also a form of love, energetically charging my cells would be an act of love as well.
