I loved this quote from the chapter Gay Heaven: “Anonymous sex could be so special— it was sex without the ego— the opposite of star fucking, power fucking, or romantic fucking. In many ways there was a high degree of unconditional love involved that was spiritual— an amazing degree of acceptance about myself and other people without judgments.”

I squealed out loud at this one “What a year it had been! I’d gone from being a sexually frustrated monogamous wife to becoming an independent sex adventurer – a sexual anthropologist of sorts.”

I loved this and was delighted because this is also a term I’ve self identified with before I knew that she had as well.

I have always felt such a kinship with Betty, her artist mentality, her lack of filter or fucks to give patriarchal, heterosexual, capitalist society. She was making the connections between all these systems before others were making the connections. She ruffled so many feathers and really got off on making people uncomfortable when she spoke out about the harm society did to women. She evolved by leaps and bound in her own exploration, leading to a life that amazed and shocked everyone she came across. You can’t help but love her. I feel an ancestral/mentorship kinship with her and feel her always finding her way to me along me journey.
