Hi Betty,

First I want to say how amazing you and Carlin are. You've changed my life and im so happy I found out about you guys while im so young because you've probably saved me lots of self hate and embarrassment. (im 19 but iv been studying you and your teachings since i was 18) You've taught me to be proud of myself, my body and my sexuality and now i have an open and healthy relationship with sex and my sexual partners and im not afraid to ask for what i want!

First of all, I just wanted to say thanks. Before I started following your website I thought I was incapable of having orgasms because I couldn't come from manual stimulation, but now I'm having them regularly with my vibrator.

Dear Dr. Betty,

I'm 20 years old and started having sex at 16. I'm not sure when exactly it started but I know it didn't happen the first time. Pretty much every single time I have or have tried to have penetrative sex it hurts and/or it tears just below the opening of my vagina. My boyfriend and I have tried more foreplay, lube, different positions etc. It only sometimes changes how bad the issue is not whether or not it happens.

Dear Dr. Betty,

Sometimes after my boyfriend fingers me....hard and fast, of course, I bleed a bit...it doesn't gush out! But it's not just a little amount, either. Also, it's at random times (not always before or after my cycle). This doesn't happen every time, though (mind that sometimes it doesn't happen even if we are being rough). Also, I have abdominal pains; some occur before and some occur after intercourse.

Dear Dr. Betty,

I wrote to you a while ago asking you why you thought I was afraid of sex/men, and whether it had anything to do with the pain I'd experienced for years as a result of having a thick hymen, or perhaps my issues with my father. You published it under the title 'Hymen removed, now afraid of sex" or something along those lines. Anyway, I have since been diagnosed with vulvodynia and I now have a new question for you.

Hello,

First would like to say your website has opened my mind and made me feel very comfortable with sexual activites, also well informing me about alot of variable sexual aspects, which have been useful to me and my partner.

Hi Dr. Betty,

Hi Betty,

Using the advise from your videos and site I was able to give my partner an orgasm like she'd never experienced before. The look on her face was priceless. A woman truly enjoying herself is very sexy.

Dr. Betty,

I am 22 years old and a virgin. I currently have to go to the GYN because I'm on oral contraceptives for my acne and horrible menstrual cycles (heavy heavy bleeding, major cramps, etc.. I missed a lot of school before I started) and they say I have to get pelvic exams every so often in order to continue on my birth control.

When the GYN inserts the speculum, the pain is almost unbearable, to the point where I'm usually in tears. I also bleed fairly heavily afterwards as well.

Hi Betty & Carlin,

I am 30 years old, female, and in my first healthy relationship. Sex was great for the first few months, I was able to ejaculate easily accompanied by orgasms. I was able to orgasm through oral stimulation. Then, something changed. Everything changed. I had an IUD put in and around this time I became FEARFUL of sex, of being touched.
