I'd been having orgasms with a fantasy about being a sex teacher for several years. One of my favorite versions was having all my students masturbating in a circle while I showed them advanced techniques. At the end of the class, the group would have a simultaneous orgasm that would get everyone in my apartment building sexually aroused. The sexual vibes would permeate all fifteen floors affecting tenants, doormen, the maintenance staff and any delivery boys that happened to be on the premises. It was a great fantasy because I could throw in all kinds of kinky activity happening in the elevators, laundry room and stairwells.

After my involvement with the women's movement in the early seventies, I began to think about teaching sex to women in more practical terms. As I lay in bed one night, the words "Sexual Consciousness Raising" started to percolate in my mind.

Betty Dodson, Ph.D., artist, author and sexologist, has proven though working with thousands of women that a strong pelvic floor muscle enhances orgasm with oneself and during partnersex. The same muscle also insures bladder control, maintains vaginal health, and contributes to a person's overall health. Betty's Barbell is both a practical vaginal exerciser and an excellent pleasure device that she has used for years in teaching women about orgasm. Made of stainless steel, the Barbell is sturdy enough to become a family heirloom that can be passed down from grandmother to granddaughter.
