So much coming up for me… past, present.. FUTURE??? Did I feel resistance?! Are you kidding me?!
I am 68years old. I have known of, admired, recommended Betty for years and consider myself a radical feminist. Until now I have lived my life personally and professionally but not so much sexually ‘walking the walk’.of life consistent with the bodysex philosophy & principles though I wouldn’t have known to call them that.
Since joining this course I have blown my own mind with each dip or dive into the material. Trying to take it slow, not getting ahead of my self. I’ve done things before that I was afraid to do and that is how I got here and now. (Brava! to me) I’m not so much resistant as aware of being at yet another boundary/threshold of community/relationships/self awareness. Lore Perls said “anxiety is excitement without support”. OK, I buy that, I sell it daily. So how am I going to support myself? I do really feel like (maybe) my whole life has been preparing me to be part of the bodysex community/movement in a significant way. Therapy. Practice masturbating. Read and watch and listen. Eventually be in person? (I did sign up for the event in May.) Writing to you today is a beginning! Please stay tuned.
As far as a standout moment… hard to pick a single one. I will watch it again (and again). Can’t wait to watch it with the event on 1/22. I will write agin after that!
Bodysex is a way for me to here to begin with my sexual self again and to reconnect with the power of the erotic. Its an opportunity to get back on a path that I more or less strayed from (into drinking & centering on male partners) when I was in my 20s. I recently remembered that about 60 years ago (age @ 17) I introduced masturbation to my high school BFF lying in separate sleeping bags in the dark of a tent in her backyard!
