I Think My Clitoris is a Penis

Dear Betty,

I appreciate so much your book "Sex for One". It's amazing how these old self-defeating messages rob us of our dearest self-love. I believe orgasm rejuvenates our whole system as taught by Yoginis for centuries. My first orgasm (never to be repeated) was a Whopper through oral sex from a "guru" type.

How Can I Learn to Love My Older Body?

Dear Dr. Betty,

I will be turning 50 in a few weeks. I've had 3 children whom I breast fed for a total of 8 years. The last few years I have gained & lost 30- 40 lbs. several times. Most recently I have lost the weight. I am having a difficult time accepting my sagging & loose skinned breasts. I just had a self -loving experience that included a wonderful orgasm. I had a mirror set up in front of me.

Guys Say My Clitoris is Too Big

Dear Dr. Betty,

I'm 20 yrs old. I been feeling really self conscious about my vagina or clit in particular. I have been told by a few sex partners that my clit is "huge"...I'm too embarrassed to ask my GYN. But it pisses me off/hurts my self esteem when guys say this to me.. Do you think I should get that surgery?

What do you think I should do, if anything?

Thankx

Dear Self Conscious,

I Have Extra Skin On My Perineum

Dear Dr. Betty,

I've seen porn. I've seen naked woman, etc. Every woman's pussy and anus is different and that is a definite fact. But...I have a very unusual perineum.

The Insecurites I Feel Over My Scent Can Sometimes Inhibit My Orgasm

Dear Betty,

You've mentioned in several videos on youtube, that one should enjoy the smell of sex..and the smell of their own "situation." I agree....until it comes to me receiving oral sex. I am a clean person and always make sure to shower before hand, but when the juices start flowing, the insecurites I feel over my scent can sometimes inhibit me from cumming. I stop enjoying the moment and think, "I bet he wants to gag right now!"

How Do I Explain Natural Bumps on My Vulva?

Dear Dr. Betty,

I have a condition called Hidradenitis suppurativa and it causes bumps on my groin area that then turn into a sort of keloid thing. I'm a 20 yr old female and i would like to lose my virginity but the fear of explaining this to a 20yr old boy is sooo scary.

I don't have a boyfriend or anyone in particular that id like to lose my virginity to but how do i even begin to approach this with a person? id really like to get oral sex but i fear they'll think its because I'm dirty.

Hate My Chubby Pubic Mound

Dear Betty,

I'm 22 years old. I'm a nurse and have never been heavy a day in my life. I'm 6 feet and 1 inches tall and weigh 136 pounds.

But I think my Vagina is abnormal. I have a very chubby pubic mound meaning lots of extra flesh" My boyfriend calls it my bumper'LOL I also have very thick lips that completely cover my clit. I've had multiple sexual partners and all of them had never seen a vagina like mine. Is this normal, or is there something wrong????

Please let me know.
