Betty took it one step further and had women talk about their sex lives. It's how she learned that most women had genital shame and didn't know how to stimulate themselves to orgasm.
Betty, Sheila Shea (the woman who assisted Betty's early groups), Marisa Black, Liandra Dahl, Davina Ingenue, Sayaka Adachi and me, Carlin, we're all in the circle.
Eric Francis asked me to grab some stills from Betty Dodson's Bodysex Workshop. Watching the video I fell in love with these women all over again.
The experience with Betty, Sheila, Marisa, Sayaka, D and our crew was magical. These women are just amazing. I decided to post each woman's introduction - who she is - in the film. Helen aka Liandra Dahl wrote about her "bodysex effect"....how being in the circle changed her life. The rest of the women will follow with their posts. I guess I'll have to write mine too.
It seems like yesterday that we all gathered in the circle and answered the question, "how do you feel about your body and how do you feel about your orgasm".
My favorite part of the film is genital show and tell. It was the second scene we shot that day and it was flawless from beginning to end. We didn't make one editorial change. It flowed, the images were captivating, and the stories were moving.
That's the healing power of looking at real images of real vulvas. I tear up every time I watch it.
