I had the most resistance to the last chapter Making Love Alone. As a single mom of 5 kiddos mainly grown now, I’ve always felt so alone in life and anytime I come across doing something yet alone again its so triggering. My own trauma of always being alone is part of me and something Im actively working through. At the same time Im reminded that I can still experience pleasure and self love on my own and this feeling is not a bad or negative one..It is and so it can be.
On page 80 Betty types ” Oh, the clitoris is like a little penis” and I always answered, “Or a penis is like an oversized clitoris”…this stood out for me because yet again women’s genitalia is being compared to the masculine genitalia. Betty was eloquent in shifting that narrative through out her writing and teaching of wise wisdom.
As a women I have tried to explain this concept over and over again to men and for some reason it just hasn’t landed well..EVER! I thank her for bringing light to the clit.
Was there a moment from the documentary that stood out for you? Why was it meaningful?
All of Bettys short, loving, caring, moving comments. I begin writing all her sayings down in my journal, all the beautiful ways she allowed the women to feel seen, heard and loved just as they were. She normalized all of the women, all of each ones individual essence.
-every women has a sexual scent
-very nice yes
-thats it
-oh yeah
-after you cum rest a minute and go back again
-let clitty rest a min
Did you feel resistance while watching. while watching the Bodysex Documentary?
The only real resistance was the gal who laid down flat with the magic wand between her legs. I wanted so much for her to experience a different way, a change and letting go of what ever the thing was that held her in that space.
If so, what is your resistance and how do you plan to work through it?
Listening to Betty and Carlin on the podcast after the documentary filming and how they processed this woman’s power, her will to not give a fuck and keep being her in all the beautiful ways that she was. She also had a softness yet hardness about her. I wanted to know more about her history and past. I plan on working though these feels by sitting with her experience and observing it as uniquely hers, allowing her pleasure to be dictated by her and not my expectations for her, letting go of her outcomes and allowing her to be in all her beauty and sheer pleasure space.
