Sex
for One : The Joy of Selfloving by
Betty Dodson
For more than 20 years, Betty Dodson has been
dedicated to taking the shame out of masturbation, showing it to
be a healthy form of sexual expression. With warmth and
intelligence, and informative line drawings, Dodson explains how
anyone can learn to fully enjoy the pleasures of self-love,
pointing out that masturbation is still the safest sex.
"Although some of the language used in this
book was the sort of language which would normally have upset me,
the author made it clear why she wrote as she did. The information
was so valuable to me that I wrote to both Dr. Dodson and my own
physician concerning several aspects which would have improved my
physical and psychological well- being. This is a book that should
be passed from mothers (and fathers) to both sons and daughters as
a mean of taking away the fear and insecurity attached to the
subject of masturbation. In addition to discussing masturbation
the author also discussed self-loathing of one's body resulting
from a lack of information about what constituted normality in
form. I wish someone would have had a similar book available when
I was growing up so that I could have read it before I was in my
seventies." -- Anonymous Review

Celebrating
Orgasm by
Betty Dodson
In private sessions with Dr. Dodson, five
different women improve their ability to achieve orgasm. This
documentary illustrates the sex coaching techniques Betty uses to
guide women through sexual arousal to enjoying one or more
orgasms. Betty emphasizes each of the seven elements -- such as
breathing, movement, and sound that heightens sexual pleasure.
There are close-ups views of the clients using clitoral
stimulation including fingers, battery vibrators, electric
vibrators, and dildos. Betty's humor shines though this joyful and
rewarding video.
Viva
la Vulva by
Betty Dodson
In this video, we see a group of ten women from
different ethnic backgrounds from 25 to 68 celebrating the beauty
of their sex organs by posing for their pussy portraits. They
discuss their attitudes and share their inner-most thoughts about
the relationship they have with their genitals including pussy
pet-names. They groom their genitals for a close-up photo while
sharing techniques on trimming and shaving pubic hair. At the end
Betty guides the group through a series of different techniques
for genital massage. The light-hearted dynamic of Viva la Vulva
makes for joyful viewing.
I believe...
Masturbation is our first natural sexual
activity. Masturbation is the ongoing love affair that each of us
has with ourselves throughout our lifetime. Masturbation is an
erotic meditation. Masturbation inspires creativity. Masturbation
is a way to gain sexual self-knowledge. Cultural denial of
masturbation is the basis of sexual repression. Sharing
masturbation with a lover enhances sexual intimacy. Being
responsible for our own orgasm gives us a choice when it comes to
partnersex. Threesomes help us overcome society’s conditioning
to hoard sex for one person. In the tradition of many cultures,
some people enjoy celebrating sex in a group. Selfsexuality is our
daily bread, partnersex is an evening of dining out, and group sex
several times a year is a grand banquet. Selfloving allows us to
design a sex life like an ongoing work of art.
I propose...
Organizing a sex positive movement with millions
of activists joining me on the barricades against sexual
ignorance. If you’re a friend of sex who would like to take a
stand, start today by enjoying your own selfloving sessions
without any guilt or apology. Go public by telling a few friends
about your favorite masturbation techniques with a description of
one of your better orgasms. Finally, sharing masturbation with a
friend or lover qualifies you as an activist in the erotic
renaissance of the millennium." -- Betty Dodson
