NOW sexuality conference

Betty Dodson introduced the electric vibrator back in 1973 at NOW's one and only sexuality conference. Vibrators have gone mainstream -  52% of Americans own one.  Don't you want to know how Betty discovered them???

A recent study by Dr. Debra Herbenick and Dr. Michael Reece revealed that the majority of Americans use vibrators - over 52%.  Here's the email Betty received from Dr. Debra Herbenick thanking her for introducing the electric vibrator and promoting it every chance she could:

Dear Betty,

To see your name in my email inbox is a thrill! Michael and I are honored that you took the time to write to us. It is because of your work and perseverance, your incredible books and videos and workshops that have introduced women to vibrators, that they are as increasingly mainstream as they are today.

Thanks again, too, for writing such a lovely and supportive blurb for my new book, Because It Feels Good. It has an entire chapter about sex toys and, of course, tips on using vibrators alone and with a partner are sprinkled throughout. You have been such an inspiration to me.

I'm glad, too, that you mentioned the NOW conference... I remember reading about your experience there, but wasn't sure how to cite it (we want to reference it in an upcoming paper when talking about the history of vibrators in the United States).
