The Word that Came to Mind was Friendship
Each workshop has it's own distinct feeling...part of it is the women who find themselves at Betty's door and the other part is the energy we bring to the group as facilitators. The word that kept coming to mind during this past weekend's workshop was friendship.
The women always bond during Day 1 but this group was special. The connection was instantaneous. It's always rewarding to see women bond through honesty, sharing how they feel about their body and their orgasm. We all suffer the same wounds, some just heal faster than others. Religious repression and misogyny be damned...somehow we all find our way back to ourselves.
I'm still nursing on demand but, at 8 months, Grayson was fine to stay home with Daddy. At the start, I announced that I'd be milking myself to avoid a breast infection. When I started dripping breast milk, I'd squeeze my breasts into a water glass to relieve the pressure. By the time we got to genital show & tell I'd squeezed out enough milk to fill the glass to the top. At some point, Betty asked if she could taste it (it's thin and sugary). I passed the glass to Betty and she took a sip...then one by one the women passed the glass around and tasted my breast milk. By the time it got back to me, there was one gulp left and I threw it back to a round of applause.
No one hesitated...everyone was smiling...it was the ultimate in sisterhood and erotic at the same time. Then one of the women described how she started lactating when one of her colleagues was breastpumping in the office. The hormonal connection between women is fucking amazing. If we spend enough time together, we menstruate together...lactate together. Maybe that's why women are taught to compete with one another, to circumvent this power. Bodysex is all about bringing us back together.
Two of the women in the group will move forward with certification. We'll be adding Arkansas to our list of states. I don't think we really understand how much we're accomplishing with Bodysex certification. The term "revolution" went around the room. In many ways, Betty has led a one-woman revolution for pleasure. I've signed on and now 20 other women have joined us.
Betty held workshops for almost three decades, roughly 2,000 women have sat in the circle. If each of our graduates reaches just half that number, 20,000 women will experience Bodysex. And this is our first year offering certification. Things could snowball quickly. Certified women could certify other women.
That was my fantasy image during erotic recess. I imagined women from all over the world sharing...bonding...orgasming together. I came and came and came. What a wonderful way to spend a weekend with the woman I admire most and the women I call sister.
