My Bodysex Research

During lockdown, I took Bodysex virtual and worked with 400 women in 40 countries. These are my findings crunched by the Kinsey Institute.

Lost All Feeling in My Clitoris

Dear Dr. Betty,

Okay, I really need help! When I was younger I had orgasms that when they came they were off the charts, they were so intense that I cried. Now I don't have orgasms, and rarely with masturbating. I try to fantasize about all kinds of naughty things, but nothing. I'm not comfortable using a vibrator either.

Why Don't I Enjoy Clitoral Stimulation?

First off, THANK you for living and breathing! This site has helped me realize that I am not alone in wanting to explore and own my sexuality as a woman!

The first and most important question I have is as follows:

I can only cum by stimulating the areas around my clitoris. I've tried stimulating it before, but any kind of pressure feels tender and hurts. Likewise, I find that after I cum (when using a vibrator) I have to quickly remove it or it hurts almost immediately. What is going on?!

Dear L,

Masturbation Goes From Pleasure to Pain Very Quickly

Dear Dr Betty,

First of all, let me tell you that you really helped my cousin out a lot in discovering her sexuality. (She's the one who recommended you). She didn't know anything about female anatomy and sexuality before discovering you. She still hasn't had a boyfriend, but now embraces her sexuality and regularly masturbates happily.

About me:

Can a Person Use a Vibrator Too Much?

Hi Dr. Betty -

I am almost 31 yo and about 9 months ago, I decided to explore my sexuality and started exploring masturbation. I learned that I can have orgasm (yes!) but I can only do it watching porn and using a strong vibrator. I use my vibrator several times a week (I have a lot of time to make up).

Can Your Clitoris Atrophy If You Don't Masturbate?

Dear Betty,

I recently found your website and have been learning loads. I have been trying your techniques and though I am still working on it, I am super hopeful. There is tiny part of me thats a little worried.

I am 30 and have not masturbated for long period of my life. When i was younger i felt shame from it and resisted the urge....a little part of me worries i cant orgasm because of clitoral atrophy! I feel silly as its probably my own neurosis, but given that im only very recently sexually active I worry I may have started this journey too late.
