My plan for giving my body more appreciation and love is by practicing this more often. Touch myself as I would touch a lover, to say appreciative things about my body, compliment myself, especially on the…Read more

I do remember before I was taking the pill that I was more emotional, more ‘grumpy’ at times and I felt the need to prioritize myself and take care of myself. I usually spent the first 2 days retreating and spending time by myself.

Taking the time to relax and try to stay at home at night reading a book or watching a movie. If I feel like I need a hot pad I will use it.

I have small cup size, which makes me feel less feminine. Years ago I bought push up bras and slowly I replaced all of my bras with push up bras. I still wear them to this day. What I do like about my small breasts is that they do not hinder me during workouts, and that I can lay flat on my…Read more

It takes away anything that can be used as a mask, it expresses vulnerability and equality. By being nude women get the opportunity to heal their body shame. They can see what other women look like, express and talk about how…Read more

My orgasm are usually on the small side. Due to the Bodysex articles and course I am now able to have multiple orgasms in a row, which was also a pleasant experience.

I have been skinny all of my life and never had to worry about my weight. I do struggle with the size of my boobs, as they are small. I wear push up bras every day, and feel self-conscious about them. Hopefully I can let go of these insecurities one day and wear regular bras or even go braless.

I am still learning to become more cunt positive so the decorative vulva drawing camouflages the cunt a bit, which makes it a bit less awkward to look at. Regardless I love the way she camouflaged it, very detailed and beautifully drawn. Beautiful piece of art.

Especially during less progressive times I assume there was very little knowledge available about sexuality. Betty spoke in such a light, humorous way and with so much confidence that it was such a pleasure to listen to it. I am certain that for many women it…Read more

I couldn’t stop watching as I loved the way she presented her childhood story, how easily she talks about her sexual exploration journey. It was very inspiring to watch.

Even though I knew that everyone’s cunt looks differently, I always felt a bit of shame around it. Betty’s drawings truly are a piece of art. Her work, her drawings are felt so liberating for me.

A transformational journey for self-love and self-acceptance, (re)connecting with our bodies, exploring sensuality and sexuality without judgment or shame to live a fulfilling self-loving life.
