A young woman who has a history of little or no masturbation and has reached her mid to late-20s and is looking for her first orgasm, a battery driven vibrator can be a good choice. There are many of these vibrators available.</p> <p>However, it you are in your thirties or older, the Magic Wand is also a good choice. If you are using a Wand, I recommend putting some kind of fabric between you and the vibrator to soften the vibes. Lately I've been putting a sock on mine. I use a thin or a thick one, depending upon my mood.</p> <p>The Magic Wand vibrator only works on AC current so the company will not ship to countries with direct electrical current. However, there is a vibrator that works on batteries called the Mystic Wand. It’s like the Magic Wands little sister. This new one has five different settings. The low setting is good for young women who are beginners and the third setting has vibrations as strong as the Big Mama Magic Wand. The Mystic is smaller, quieter and adorable. Both vibrators are available from our sex shop. Another good vibrator is the Eroscillator that is compatible with both AC and DC current.</p> <img alt="Genital Exam" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b80464f2-f640-4216-91f4-f8e6a4f30362" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/4930577750_0e4ae2908d_o.jpg" class="align-center" width="373" height="330" loading="lazy"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>GETTING READY: You will need to gather a few basic items. If at all possible set aside at least an hour in a warm room that's completely private. Turn off the telephone and put your cell phone in another room. Although it's not necessary, it's also nice to have candle light and music of your choice.</p> <p>For your genital exam you will need&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>1. a makeup mirror that stands alone with at least an eight-inch mirror surface.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>2. A gooseneck desk lamp is the best or some light source that can be aimed between your legs..&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>3. A bottle of organic massage oil such as almond, coconut, apricot, avocado, etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>4. A soft washcloth and a towel to sit on&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>5. The Magic Wand vibrator or a battery oporated one. For some women, the softer vibrations of a battery vibrator may be preferable.&nbsp; Or if you prefer, you can also use your hands. Ideally girls would use their hands until they enter their late twenties or early thirties.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>6. Betty's Barbell for penetration. Or&nbsp; improvise with a peeled carrot or zucchini. The advantage of the Barbell is that the weight will hold it in place while you stimulate your clitoris.</p> <p>GENITAL EXAM: To learn about the form and function of your vulva, it's essential to begin with a genital exam. Get a soft towel and put it on the floor with some kind of back support. Place the mirror so that you have a view of your entire genital area. Aim a bright light between your legs. Oil your hands. Now spend a few minutes doing an over-all genital massage while observing your vulva in the mirror. Enjoy the pleasurable feelings as you press, kneed and move your hands over the entire area.</p> <p>Next spread your outer lips apart to explore your vulva's intricate internal design with its delicate folds. Locate your clitoris at the top of your vulva just below where your pubic hair begins. Find the shaft and hood of the clitoris. Pull the hood back so you can see your clitoral glans. With a well-oiled finger, touch the glans softly to understand why those 8,000 nerve endings are protected with the hood. Now massage your clitoris using different kinds of pressure from light to firm on either side, on top and underneath your clitoral glans. Observe the different sensations. Spread the inner lips apart with both hands. Locate your vaginal opening that will appear as small folds that will part when you enter with your finger. The vaginal vestibule is the recessed space inside your inner lips. See if you can locate your urethra, a tiny opening nestled somewhere in the vestibule below the clitoris and above the vaginal opening.</p> <p>Arrange your genital flower in a manner you find most appealing. Take a few moments to appreciate the beauty of your magnificent sex organ. You might want to trim or shape your pubic hair and take a pussy portrait for your lover on Valentine's Day. Or enter your photo in my Genital Art Gallery.</p> <p>THE PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLE: Consciously relax your vaginal muscles while taking several deep breaths. Then very slowly press your middle finger inside your vagina. Once inside, circle your finger feeling the contours of the vaginal barrel. Take another deep breath and relax all the surrounding muscles and focus primarily on the muscle that stops the flow of urine. Now squeeze and release this muscle on your finger. You will feel your vagina gripping your finger softly or firmly depending on the strength of your PC (pubococcygeus) muscle. Take your finger away and watch your entire genital area move from your clitoris to your anus when you contract the muscle by lifting up and squeezing. Do not bear down or push out. Lift and release. Lift and release. Be sure to check out how to do Kegel exercises under Betty's Vaginal Barbell.</p> <p>BREATHING: Next lie down on your bed, a futon, or a blanket on the floor. Make sure you are comfortable and warm. Place a pillow under your head. Your feet are on the floor with your knees bent and both legs at a comfortable angle. Take a series of deep breaths exhaling with an audible sigh. Send loving thoughts to your body. During your masturbation session it's a good idea to be able to hear yourself breathing out loud. Getting oxygen into the blood stream is essential for clitoral engorgement. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. If your nose is stopped up, do both the in and out breath with your mouth. Most women tend to hold their breath during sexual arousal so make sure you are breathing fully.</p> <p>PELVIC ROCKING: Avoid tensing up and holding your body rigid. Move your pelvis like Elvis. Roll your hips. Do a little dance lying down. Use movements that feel good. Loosen up and stretch. Smile. As your hips rock forward and back the muscles in your body flex and relax similar to an athlete in motion. Take a minute and dance to the music of your choice with rhythmic pelvic thrusting along with deep breathing and sounds of pleasure. Remember sex is about having fun and feeling good. During your entire masturbation session, a gentle rocking motion can be perpetual motion. Rest if you get tired.</p> <p>PENETRATION WITH PC MUSCLE: Now that you are in touch with your PC muscle, you are ready to do slow penetration. If you are new to vaginal penetration begin with your finger. Then use a peeled carrot or zucchini gradually making them bigger. Just be aware that squeezing your vaginal muscle will tend to push the veggie dildo out so hold it with one hand. If you have Betty's Barbell, penetration virgins or postmenopausal women unaccustomed to vaginal penetration will place the smaller end of the Barbell just at the vaginal opening (inside the vestibule). As you begin to squeeze and release the PC muscle, observe the sensation. Penetrate your vagina very slowly going an inch at a time while pausing to grip and release the dildo or Barbell with your muscle. Once the Barbell is inserted, it stays in place leaving both hands free. Your veggie dildo will get pushed out as you squeeze the muscle, so hold it in place or just forget set it aside.</p> <p>CLITORAL STIMULATION: With the Barbell in place, add clitoral stimulation first with your oiled finger. Release all expectations of what you "should" be feeling. Just observe what is happening without passing any judgments. Stay with manual as long as it feels good. When you desire more clitoral sensation, add a battery vibrator. Stay with this for as long as it feels good.</p> <p>For women using an electric vibrator, begin with the switch on low. Its okay to experiment with high later on, but the low setting will allow you to take more time and enjoy all the pleasurable sensations. Keep a light touch. The whole point of selfloving is to train your body to tolerate higher levels of sexual pleasure that last longer than a few moments.</p> <p>COMBINING BREATHING, PELVIC MOVEMENTS AND THE PC MUSCLE: As you rock your hips forward, squeeze your PC muscle and exhale through your mouth. As your pelvis drops back down inhale through your nose and release the PC muscle. Forward, exhale and squeeze the PC. Drop back down as you inhale and release the PC muscle. Continue doing this while breathing out loud. Listen to yourself breathing. While this seems a bit complicated at first, like any new dance step, once you've done it a few times your body will remember the moves. As you reach a higher level of sexual arousal your breathing will be similar to jogging or walking briskly. Eventually you can make sounds of pleasure on the out breath. Try the vowels sounds of Ah, Oh or say the word "yes." Let your jaw drop and have your mouth slightly open. Keep your eyes closed with your attention focused on the sensations in your genitals.</p> <p>ORGASM: It's important to let go of all romantic notions of what you think an orgasm will be like. Instead keep an open mind and pay attention to the good feelings that are happening in your body. Be patient. A consistent problem for beginners is putting pressure on yourself to come. This is the exact opposite of experiencing pleasure. Sexual excitement does not go in a straight line to orgasm similar to many men's sexual response. You can get a sensation that feels great and then it will drift or go away completely. Nothing is wrong. Keep breathing while you tense and release your PC muscle. Find another rhythm with your clitoral stimulation and change your pelvic movements until you catch the next wave of pleasure.</p> <p>Just in front of a climax your pelvic movements might become more urgent and breathing more rapid as your heart rate increases. Or you might slow down and get quiet. At that point trust your body until it has the orgasm. Once orgasm occurs, don't stop. Simply lighten up with clitoral stimulation by moving the vibrator above or off to one side. Keep breathing, moving your pelvis and pumping the pelvic floor muscles. After a few moments, the hypersensitivity will subside and for some women, her clitoris will be ready to go again. At that point you have the choice of building up to another orgasm or simply riding the aftershocks of pleasure from the orgasm you just had. Some women feel satisfied with one nice full orgasm. We are unique so one size does not fit all.</p> <p>About The Magic Wand: This vibrator is sold as an electric body massager. Although there are many electric vibrators on the market now, the Wand is my personal favorite. This sturdy and reliable machine is great for relaxing and soothing sore muscles throughout the entire body. The therapeutic vibrations bring a new supply of blood to any area being massaged including the genitals. Once I discovered how great this vibrator was for sexual pleasure, I started buying them by the case to share with the women in my original Bodysex groups. Since the early seventies I have recommended the Magic Wand without being paid for my endorsement. I currently sell the Wand on my website in addition to Betty's Barbell, my vaginal exerciser, and a few other favorite sex toys along with my books and videos. When you use the Wand, I recommend using a layer of cushioning. At first, I used a soft washcloth layered. Today I just put a clean white sock on the head of the vibrator.</p> <p>The Magic Wand vibrator only works on AC current so the company will not ship to countries with direct electrical current. However, there is a vibrator that works on batteries called the Mystic Wand. It’s like the Magic Wands little sister. She has five different settings and one has vibrations almost as strong as her Big Mama Magic Wand. Mystic is smaller, quieter and adorable. The low setting is good for beginners. Another good vibrator is the Eroscillator that also comes in both AC and DC current. These vibrators plus other sex toys are available from our sex shop.</p> <p>A woman who has a history of little or no masturbation and is looking for her first orgasm in her mid-thirties or older, the Mystic or Magic Wand will provide steady stimulation for as long as she needs to awaken her slumbering clitoris. The strong consistent vibrations will make up for years of sensory deprivation. The Wand is a must for postmenopausal women who want to renew a fading libido or for women taking an anti-depressant. The electric vibrator is to women what Viagra is to men. The Wand is also marvelous for women interested in increasing the intensity of their orgasms, wanting to have several orgasms during a masturbation session and for women that want to experience orgasm during penetration sex with a partner. Get my book Orgasms for Two that has information on how to use a vibrator while having sex with your partner.</p> <p>VARIATIONS ON EXPERIENCES WITH VIBRATORS: When you are new to vibrator sex, you may experience any number of responses. One client I observed had a full-body orgasm, but she claimed nothing had happened. Her expectations of an orgasm were so exaggerated she couldn't identify what was actually taking place in her body. Another woman had a small climax and didn't think it was real. In order for her orgasms to grow, she needed to acknowledge her small climaxes. A girlfriend told me that the first time she used a vibrator, she had the most intense orgasm of her life, but it was over before she knew what had happened. Another woman had to practice for a month before she broke through to her orgasm. We are all very different in how we respond to clitoral stimulation.</p> <p>COMMON MISUSE OF THE VIBRATOR: Some women create pain instead of pleasure by bearing down with the vibrator, crushing their sweet little clits while demanding immediate results. Or they vibrate too long irritating their vulva. If you feel pain or a burning sensation, stop. You are doing something wrong. Instead of relying on pressure to increase the sensation, keep the vibrator moving around your clitoris with a light touch. A little pressure from time to time is okay, but bearing down will numb out the most athletic clits. Breathing fully, rocking your pelvis and squeezing the pelvic floor muscles will increase your genital sensation. Avoid bearing down harder with your vibrator.</p> <p>The other problem is not spending enough time. Most women who come for a private session have never masturbated for more than five or ten minutes. In order to get the energy moving similar to getting your heart rate up, I often keep my client moving, breathing and vibrating for at least an hour, sometimes up to three hours. The common complaint from women is, "I seem to get right in front of an orgasm but I can't get over that edge." My answer is, "There is no edge." Just keep vibrating while trying something different; a new fantasy, a different rhythm, shifting the position of the vibrator, altering vaginal penetration., increase your pelvic floor muscle squeezing.&nbsp; Most important is don't stop, keep going.</p> <p>SEXUAL FANTASY: One of the best ways to focus your mind on sexual pleasure is to engage your mind in a hot fantasy instead of running the grocery list. If you are new to fantasy you can start by imagining something sexual that you enjoyed and gradually embellish the details. Sexual fantasy is at the heart of the creative process that requires the freedom to imagine the unimaginable. Get rid of the mental censor inside your head. My fantasies have ranged from sugary romantic scenarios to thinking up elaborate set ups for bondage where I'm taken advantage of by cruel men. At first I worried about my rape and bondage fantasies, but these were the images that got me really hot. In real life I have never been put into bondage or raped. Once I understood that I was playing all the roles in my fantasies, it freed me to stop passing judgment. That alone freed my imagination to think about anything that turned me on.</p> <p>DILDO USE: Once you have your orgasm pattern established, adding vaginal penetration with Betty's Barbell or differently sized dildos will intensify sexual sensations. When using my Barbell, first oil your toy and start with slow penetration. Once inside, you can leave the Barbell in place while you squeeze and release the PC muscle. The weight of the Barbell holds it inside the vagina. Or you can move it slowly in and out or do a short rapid motion while continuing clitoral stimulation. Angle the Barbell or any other dildo up toward the ceiling of your vagina and press into the urethral sponge (G-spot) and observe the sensation. Don't look for some special spot inside your vagina. It's a sensation.</p> <p>Focus on your primary sex organ, the clitoris with its eight thousand nerve endings. The internal clitoris inside the body surrounds the first third of your vaginal barbell. Continue to work the PC muscle against the Barbell. Try a variety of different sized dildos. You might find a larger dildo that stretches your vagina feels good. If vaginal penetration is not that interesting for you or it doesn't feel good, then drop it and just stay with your clitoris.</p> <p>GETTING EVERYTHING TOGETHER</p> <p>Combining the five elements of clitoral stimulation, vaginal penetration, pelvic movements, PC muscle contractions and breathing out loud makes this style of masturbation the one that's most easily translated to partnersex. During intercourse, you or your partner can add the kind of clitoral contact you prefer with fingers, a battery vibrator or any electric vibrator including my favorite, the Magic Wand&nbsp; or the Mystic Wand.</p> <p>If you've followed these instructions and STILL CAN'T ORGASM, I've put together a longer version that's an ebook: Learn to Orgasm in 4 Acts on Amazon.</p> <p>Also, go to the Nav Bar and under Ask Dr. Betty, read the questions and my answers asked by other women. This will give you more ideas of skills you can try. I'm always working on gathering new facts to share. Be sure to read my information on the G spot. If a woman squirts naturally it's perfectly OK, but I advise beginners to stay focused on the clitoris which is our primary organ for sexual pleasure. Another fact is that squirting is not the same thing as having an orgasm so don't get caught up in all the PR surrounding this over-stated sexual response.</p> <p>Happy orgasms!</p> <p>If you need

important reason.&nbsp; Your vulva is your clitoral glans, inner and outer labia and your vaginal opening.&nbsp; Your clitoris exists solely for pleasure.&nbsp; Women can enjoy multiple orgasms and limitless pleasure when they stimulate their "clitoral system".&nbsp;</p> <p>Women have as much erectile tissue as men.&nbsp; We get internal erections and our clitoris is just the visible portion of our complex clitoral system.&nbsp; We have internal structures - the legs and the bulbs of the clitoris - a pleasure wishbone running through our labia and around our vaginal opening.</p> <p>Our vagina is a canal.&nbsp; There are pleasurable parts but that varies with each woman.&nbsp; The best orgasm is the combination orgasm when we combine clitoral stimulation with vaginal penetration.&nbsp; The vagina is wonderful but serves two purposes: pleasure and birth.&nbsp; Our clitorises exist solely for pleasure.</p> <p>Here are some pics of my vulva with some simple anatomical descriptions.&nbsp; Please feel free to use these images in presentations and your blogs as long as you clearly label D&amp;R.com.&nbsp;</p> <img alt="My Vulva" data-entity-type="file"

life.&nbsp; It felt just like Goop: I was profoundly uncomfortable, second-guessing everything yet clear that I would move forward.&nbsp; I couldn’t miss the opportunity to represent Betty’s message of self-love and independent because I was comfortable with my life.&nbsp; I found the courage, bit the bullet, and signed my name on the dotted line. </span></span></p> <p><span><span>Sometimes we take on challenges intellectually but, the body lags behind, and we experience the physical manifestation of stress.&nbsp; Mine took the form of a six-month bout of tinnitus.&nbsp; My ears were ringing 24/7.&nbsp; I went to drs, did acupuncture, took daily naps, stopped drinking alcohol, upped my masturbation, dimmed lights – nothing worked.&nbsp; Gradually, I learned to live with it.&nbsp; If I slept 10 hours in a row and limited any loud sounds, I could get through the day.&nbsp; This was my new normal.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>I didn’t worry about my ears and the retreat until I was in the car headed up to Menla.&nbsp; What if my ears got worse?&nbsp; What if I couldn’t handle the music or chatter or my amplified voice on the microphone?&nbsp; My chest tightened.&nbsp; I decided to take a deep breath and channel Betty: the goddess would provide.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>As we drove up the mountain, all the fluid in my ears drained out at once.&nbsp; I had imagined this moment. I would psych myself up for client sessions by visualizing my ears clearing in one swoosh.&nbsp; It would be immediate – and it was.&nbsp; Menla has always been held as sacred land by the local Native American tribes. It was hit by an asteroid so there’s 1% less gravitational pull when you’re on the mountain.&nbsp; Today, its a Dalai-Lama property devoted to healing: healing for the women coming to experience their first Bodysex workshop and healing for me as their guide. The land supports the work.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>We had two groups of 30 women.&nbsp; I met virtual clients for the first time.&nbsp; We flipped the format so that we had 12 assistants, women who were certified and seeking certification.&nbsp; It was so good to reconnect with the sisterhood and watch them support the women…learn the philosophy…hone Bodysex as an artform.&nbsp; It felt like coming home.&nbsp; </span></span></p> <p><span><span>During genital show and tell, I was confronted with a completely new challenge.&nbsp; I think that’s why I’m so drawn to the work: you’re never done learning.&nbsp; It takes everything you have and the right response flows from you.&nbsp; I didn’t “think” anything – I felt it.&nbsp; I knew instinctively how to hold the space.&nbsp; When you guide a woman without judgment or control, that right step presents itself: her needs are like a vibration.&nbsp; If you’re listening, you can hear it quite clearly.&nbsp; Putting down your ego and attuning to another is life changing.&nbsp; I will never forget the experience.&nbsp; It felt like magic.&nbsp; </span></span></p> <p><span><span>Being at Menla is such an immersive experience.&nbsp; There are no tvs in the rooms, cell service is spotty, and women take hikes and enjoy meals between sessions.&nbsp; I love all the Tibetan colors that run through the property: saffron…orange…deep red…bold blue…sage green…..gold.&nbsp; Then there’s the art in the shrine room where we hold erotic recess.&nbsp; It’s a feast for the eyes and the soul.&nbsp; Watching the assistants hold space during breaks, supporting the women in each moment fed my soul.&nbsp; Betty would be so happy, so proud.</span></span></p> <img alt="Carlin" data-entity-type="file"

<p><span><span>Something shifted during the retreat.&nbsp; I could be at Menla, run a circle, and share Betty stories without tearing up.&nbsp; I assumed Betty’s role, her place without grief.&nbsp; Her memory and the loss I feel has become a treasured part of my life.&nbsp; Something that inspires me and leads me forward.&nbsp; I’m grateful for the bond we had and how much time we spent together.&nbsp; I was her longest relationship.&nbsp; Seeing her off the planet was a privilege.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>We have selected dates for our 2024 workshops – there will be two:

field--label-hidden field__item"><p>The December before lockdown Betty and I lead our last workshop together.&nbsp; There was a feeling of finality in that group.&nbsp; Betty's skin and hair had turned this glowing translucent white - like an angel.&nbsp; She was peaceful, calm and quite loving towards me.&nbsp; As we sipped champagne at the drawing table in her bedroom, she looked me dead and in the eye and announced, "you're better than me".&nbsp; I couldn't hear it and went into my usual compliment deflection when she repeated herself with a finger pointed in my direction, "you're better than me."&nbsp; In that moment, I decided to receive.&nbsp; It was our last conversation.&nbsp; Betty had passed the torch.</p> <p>After taking Bodysex virtual and enduring three covid waves - it was time to get back to the circle.&nbsp; I knew NYC wasn't going to work.&nbsp; The only place that seemed right was Menla.&nbsp; We'd hosted two retreats to celebrate Betty's 90th birthday there.&nbsp; It's rare to find a beautiful, self-contained space where we can share group nudity.&nbsp; Being surrounded by nature is a form of pleasure in itself.&nbsp; Native American tribes believe that Menla is on sacred land, hit millions of years ago by a meteorite.&nbsp; There is something powerful about the work being supported by the land.&nbsp; It's a different feeling than being in a hotel or tourist destination.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>We posted a link, and the reservations came in.&nbsp; We would be accommodating a larger group of women.&nbsp; The work would have to adapt.&nbsp; Also, I wanted to include the knowledge I gained from the virtual work.&nbsp; I decided to invite several women from the Bodysex community to support the first retreat.&nbsp; It felt right.</p> <p>As I boiled barbells and unboxed wands, it was like muscle memory.&nbsp; I'd stood in Betty's kitchen doing the same preparation for over a decade.&nbsp; "I can do this", I stated out loud.&nbsp; My heart was heavy but I moved forward.&nbsp; I packed up my car and made one last dash to the house.&nbsp; In that moment, I decided to pour some of Betty's ashes into a small glass bottle.&nbsp; She would be there at the retreat.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <img alt="Betty's Ashes" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="324d89ac-8cab-4910-b53c-81f71350428b"

your mornings and nights open for rituals.&nbsp; &nbsp;We added education from my virtual work and research, held a night of vulva massage and dancing, took hikes, got massages (the spa is world-class), ate strawberries and chocolate bites between sessions, and finished the weekend with a bon fire.&nbsp; Being surrounded with sex positive energy - female sex positive energy - for several days is healing in indescribable ways.&nbsp; Several of the women who attended are moving forward with Bodysex certification.&nbsp; When an experience is so inspiring that you want to learn the practice, it means everything.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <img alt="Education" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9aede71f-4e27-4295-a338-e637f024d07e"

shrine room.&nbsp;&nbsp;There was moment when I was standing in the middle of the circle, leading the women as they vibrated around me when I looked up at Betty's ashes.&nbsp; This was her send off.&nbsp; Our orgasm energy - the sounds of our pleasure - was the closure I needed.&nbsp; Betty Dodson's spirit would leave the planet heralded by self-love and independent orgasm.&nbsp; Tears welled up and I released them.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The women were fantastic - as always.&nbsp; Bodysex has ruined me for all other friendships.&nbsp; Until you've shared your vulva and your orgasm, it's all bullshit.&nbsp; I drove home warmed by the thought that I am continuing Betty's legacy...that she would be proud.&nbsp; Then I realized I'm not alone - the Bodysex community is continuing Betty's legacy.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thank you Laura, Celine, and Frances.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <img alt="Bodysex Sisterhood" data-entity-type="file"

screen the night before its released on an international media platform like Netflix.&nbsp; It was surreal and amazing.&nbsp; I've never been more proud of Betty and me, our work, our Bodysex leaders or womankind.&nbsp; I love you all.</p> <p>There hasn't been one negative piece of press.&nbsp; In fact, our episode The Pleasure is Ours has only been described with the most glowing terms.&nbsp; And then there's "The Dodson".&nbsp; She is finally being recognized for the true revolutionary that she is...here are my favorite press moments:</p> <p><a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2020/01/9295049/betty-dodson-method-masturbation-orgasm-goop-lab-episode-3">Refinery 29</a> on the Orgasm Scene:</p> <blockquote> <p>After discussing sexual shame and the variety of vulvas, Dodson and Ross get into the nitty-gritty of the Betty Dodson Method. It involves oil-based lubricant, a weighted dildo for vaginal penetration, a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/best-wand-vibrator-massagers">Magic Wand vibrator</a>&nbsp;for clitoral stimulation, deep breathing techniques, and a rocking movement Dodson calls the “Rock’n’Roll.” The episode shows Ross demonstrating the method on herself, being coached by Dodson —&nbsp;and it ends with her orgasm.</p> <p>For her part, Ross is thrilled that&nbsp;<em>the Goop Lab</em>&nbsp;will help Dodson’s work will reach a new audience. “Betty is 90 years old, and she’s been carrying this flag for 50 years,” Ross tells Refinery29. “When she did this stuff in the ‘70s, the words 'masturbation' and 'clitoris' trended with the release of her feminist classic,&nbsp;<em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Liberating-masturbation-meditation-self-love/dp/B0006W606K">Liberating Masturbation</a></em>. Before that, we didn't have words for this stuff. It’s been so gratifying to sit next to Betty and see her work finally get social acceptance and go mainstream.”</p> <p>Netflix has a global audience, she adds, and “in my mind, I’m imagining young women all over the world watching this. Would I have made different choices in my 20s, if I’d realized my body was normal and known how to give myself an orgasm, and known that everything was okay and I was supported?” she asks. “Probably!”</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2020/1/17/21066923/gwyneth-paltrow-goop-lab-netflix-review">Vox</a> on vulvas:</p> <blockquote> <p>In the episode, called “The Pleasure Is Ours,” we meet&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dodsonandross.com/">feminist sex educators Betty Dodson and Carlin Ross</a>, who have coached thousands of women on orgasms. One Goop staff member participates in their workshop, while others take a crash course in body positivity, learning to celebrate their sexuality in ways that are meaningful to them, not just their partners.</p> <p>Along the way, Dodson and Ross extol messages about the need for women to understand their own bodies, and explain the crucial difference between the vulva and vagina. (The vulva is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/2019/8/7/20694794/vagina-bible-jen-gunter-ob-gyn-feminist">external — the part you can easily see; the vagina is the internal</a>&nbsp;part, where a tampon might go.)</p> <p>In a scene showing a series of vulvas in many different shapes and sizes, we get a genuinely educational look at women’s anatomy. And these are the vulvas of real women, not just the touched up, pink ones showcased in pornography. The point is that there’s lots of variation, and no single ideal form.</p> <p>The, er, climax, though, comes later — when Dodson coaches Ross through achieving an on-camera orgasm. It’s provocative, and potentially groundbreaking, television. And for a brand that has promoted&nbsp;<a href="https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/news/a36256/gwyneth-paltrow-goop-dildo/">$15,000 dildos</a>, the episode is framed in a surprisingly sensitive manner. Instead of telling women to steam clean and insert foreign objects into their lady bits to make them better, it emphasizes the message that vulvas and vaginas are great, just the way they are.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/02/03/the-magical-thinking-of-the-goop-lab">The New Yorker</a> on Betty's amazingness:</p> <blockquote> <p>And yet, when “The Goop Lab” winks at its own absurdity viewers are in more danger of being entertained, even moved. “The Pleasure Is Ours,” an episode about female orgasms, is great TV and genuinely educational, largely thanks to the charismatic and rightly militant ninety-year-old sex educator Betty Dodson, who, since the seventies, has led group workshops for women determined to find sexual satisfaction, in which she requires that they study their own and one another’s vulvae. (“We used to say that a woman had to learn how to ‘run the fuck,’&nbsp;” she says.)</p> <p>The episode comes with its own exposure therapy, in the form of a montage of photographs featuring vulvae. Later, Dodson assists a colleague as she demonstrates the “rock and roll” masturbation technique. I’d never seen a woman coming to orgasm filmed that way, with such lack of fetishism. For a moment, I was thoroughly Gooped.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/119125042/the-goop-lab-episode-that-managed-to-win-over-an-actual-gynaecologist">Stuff </a>on how our episode won over an "actual gynecologist":</p> <blockquote> <p>The episode features 90-year-old sex educator&nbsp;Betty Dodson and her business partner Carlin Ross, who begin&nbsp;by schooling Paltrow on the difference between a vagina and a vulva.</p> <p>"The vagina is the birth canal only," Dodson explains.</p> <p>"You want to talk about the vulva, which is the clitoris and the inner lips and all that good s... around it."</p> <p>A series of photos of real women's vulvas are later shown as part of a "genital show-and-tell" session.&nbsp;</p> <p>Smart said in her own practice, she&nbsp;often used resources&nbsp;like the "Labia Library" to dispel common myths about female anatomy, and praised Paltrow's show for employing a similar tactic.</p> <p>"We're seeing a rise in women seeking cosmetic revision of their labia, wanting to change the shape or size of what is essentially normal genital anatomy," she said.</p> <p>"Often all they need is reassurance. I thought it was really good to show the wide variation in labial appearances."</p> <p>Dr Olivia Smart was "pleasantly surprised" by the female pleasure episode of The Goop Lab.</p> <p>Another groundbreaking moment sees Dodson&nbsp;explain her&nbsp;"rock and roll" orgasm technique, with Ross giving a demonstration — and achieving&nbsp;an on-camera climax.</p> <p>"Some people may feel shocked or affronted by seeing female orgasm on television," Smart said.&nbsp;</p> <p>"But it challenges the status quo and it brings down the walls and the stigma that's associated with it."</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.thecut.com/2020/01/the-goop-lab-with-gwyneth-paltrow-betty-dodson-does-right-by-vaginas.html">The Cut</a> (my favorite so far) on the educational value of our episode:</p> <blockquote> <p>The advice offered in the episode is simple and practical; it’s designed to reduce shame and maximize pleasure. Dodson and Ross describe how to use your breath and pelvic muscles to have a better orgasm, and talk about how to ask for what you want during sex. They encourage women to get familiar with their own anatomy, describe different kinds of orgasms and how to attain them, and discuss the myth that they can be achieved without effort.</p> <p>And there are parts of the episode that feel remarkable. There’s a montage of high-definition images of vulvae in a wealth of shapes, colors, and sizes, and a scene of Ross studying her own vulva in a mirror, under Dodson’s supervision. On camera, Ross points to its various parts: the clitoral hood, the clitoris, the glands. “That’s where it’s all taking place, kid,” Dodson drawls.</p> <p>I wouldn’t recommend watching it on the train, but at no point does the episode feel porny, nor does it suffer from the embarrassment of traditional sex ed. Instead, it’s grounded and completely devoid of fetishization, including the scene where Dodson assists Ross as she demonstrates her “rock and roll” masturbation technique until she comes to orgasm onscreen.</p> <p>The show does right by vaginas, for perhaps the first time since Goop’s inception. And unlike the usual Goop fare, after watching, I came away feeling better informed than when I first sat down, particularly when it comes to&nbsp;— as Dodson puts it — “running the fuck.”</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2020-02-01/the-goop-lab-health-claims-review-gwyneth-paltrow-review/11910770">ABC News</a> on how our episode "shines on women's health":</p> <blockquote> <p>The success of this episode is, in large part, thanks to Betty Dodson, a 90-year-old feminist sex educator and her colleague, Carlin Ross, who run workshops that aim to empower women with knowledge about their bodies.</p> <p>Dodson notes that many women feel shame or embarrassment when it comes to sex, and most of the episode is spent trying to counter this.</p> <p>We get a rare and welcome glimpse of diverse, naked female bodies of all ages, and, more radically, a montage of vulvas, to demonstrate the diversity of female genitalia.</p> <p>There are discussions about how porn has created unrealistic expectations about sexuality, and how women are increasingly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2017-09-07/why-women-have-cosmetic-surgery-on-their-vulva/8878952">turning to cosmetic surgery to change the appearance of their genitals</a>.</p> <p>The episode culminates in Dodson coaching Ross to achieve an on-camera orgasm, in a way that is educational, realistic, and not fetishised.</p> <p>The whole approach is unabashed, yet sensitive, and feels genuinely refreshing. It left me wishing Goop would do this all the time: promote the message that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2019-05-25/vaginal-discharge-is-healthy-feminine-hygiene-products-are-not/11144308">vaginas and vulvas are great just as they are</a>.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.vulture.com/2020/01/the-goop-lab-netflix-real-orgasm.html">Vulture </a>on how we filmed my real orgasm:&nbsp;</p> <blockquote> <p>While she masturbated, Ross said the room was pin-drop silent. They shot the scene in one take. “Everyone was really watching. Not watching like when you feel leered at when you’re walking down the street and you feel that up and down. It was a real kind of respect and curiosity,” she said. When Ross finished — it took about ten minutes for her to reach orgasm — the entire room applauded. Ross laughed and said she’d entirely forgotten when I asked her what hearing that felt like; the day had been very draining for her. “Afterward, I was done. I’ve had an orgasm after tequila. I put on my clothes and said, ‘I’m sorry, but I’m going to bail. I love you all, but it’s bedtime.’” Dodson, meanwhile, smoked a cigarette.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/how-gwyneth-paltrow-turned-a-90-year-old-orgasm-coach-into-a-tv-star-7xxkshnlb">The London Times</a> on Betty's new found "tv star" status and the birth of Bodysex:</p> <blockquote> <p>From those casual, organic, orgiastic groupings grew the idea for the BodySex workshops, which she sees as “totally” a feminist act, although different from those of other, contemporary “very conservative” feminists, such as her old friend Gloria Steinem. “It was all, ‘We want change, but we don’t want to upset anyone, we don’t want to rock the boat too much.’ Dodson sighs. “You’ve just gotta go out there and make a mess.”</p> </blockquote> <p>The Huff Post with the ultimate title: <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/betty-dodson-goop-orgasm_n_5e3c34d0c5b6bb0ffc0cb471">"Carlin Ross Wants You to Have an Orgasm so She Gave Herself One on TV"</a></p> <blockquote> <p>When they showed my vulva on the big screen at the premiere of the episode, I grabbed Betty’s hand and was like, ‘It’s so big!’ But then you laugh and go, is it such a big deal? You go into the Met and there are penises on every statue, penises everywhere. Everyone’s sending you unsolicited dick pics. It’s like, ‘Was it so crazy over-the-top?’ It was, but it shouldn’t be.</p> </blockquote> <p>Thank you for all your support - it feels like we're on the verge of a major feminist transition. We need to make tees that say "Run the Fuck" - Betty Dodson.</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

and props to Betty for always being ready to hold the space....even at 90.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>This group was very thoughtful and there for transformation.&nbsp; It always amazes me how strong women are, how we keep on going despite the greatest of challenges.&nbsp; We had women from Barcelona, Portugal, both coasts and several locals.&nbsp; The energy between the women was remarkable.&nbsp; There was so much love and support that it was an honor to hold the space for them.</p> <p>This was my second solo genital show and tell.&nbsp; Things have shifted so organically that it reaffirms the divine nature of Bodysex.&nbsp; I sit next to the women going through the ritual while Betty looks on and adds her humor and insight.&nbsp; It works on so many levels, better than we were before.&nbsp; With each circle, I grow as a person as my relationship with Betty expands and deepens. One of the women shared how she felt so "safe" in the circle -&nbsp;I think part of that is the trust and regard Betty and I have for each other.&nbsp; It's genuine and it's infectious.</p> <p>Erotic recess kicked off with a bang of orgasms.&nbsp; I thought there would be more of a build up but there wasn't.&nbsp; When we heal, we allow ourselves to fully embrace pleasure.&nbsp; The most feminist thing you can do is to not give a fuck, to move forward and take what's yours: your body, your orgasm, your joy.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <img alt="erotic recess" data-entity-type="file"

and nibbled on strawberries and caramels, one of the women asked if we could go around the circle and do another share.&nbsp; She described how she had a fantasy in the circle that freed her from past trauma.&nbsp; Her face looked different.&nbsp; The women were inspired by her story and started sharing their deepest pain and experiences but not in the context of victimhood but rather the context of transformation and release.&nbsp; A woman shared how if she was masturbating on a regular basis - having regular orgasms - as a young woman that she'd never have stayed in an abusive marriage.&nbsp; She understood how self love and orgasm are the foundation of self-esteem.&nbsp; It was a profound moment.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Usually I ask the women if they want to stay in contact and share their email addresses.&nbsp; For this&nbsp;past season's workshops, the women have connected on What's App and Telegram (chat apps).&nbsp; They add me to the group and I watch all the messages pop up on my phone.&nbsp; One group has over 500 messages.&nbsp; Bodysex is such wonderful community.&nbsp; I have this fantasy image of millions of Bodysex women from all over the world connecting, sharing, voting - taking over the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>It was a beautiful weekend.&nbsp; Thank you</p> <p>Callilily</p> <p>Cuevas</p> <p>Snappy</p> <p>Honey</p> <p>Kitty Meow</p>

of her experience <a href="https://lifecoachingandtherapy.com/2019/11/25/my-naked-female-weekend-with-betty-dodson-and-carlin-ross/">here</a>.&nbsp; Here are several of my favorite lines:</p> <blockquote> <p>The best description I can come up with for BodySex is a sacred, two-day weekend workshop where women overcome their body shame and/or past traumas by practicing sensual pleasure.&nbsp;</p> <p>In 10 hours, Betty and Carlin undo YEARS of sexual shame and cultural fear that women’s bodies are “not enough.”&nbsp;</p> <p>One of my favorite quotes from the weekend is that “P–sy is fresh, no matter what age.”&nbsp;</p> </blockquote> <p>You can learn more about Amanda and her practice <a href="https://lifecoachingandtherapy.com/">here</a>.&nbsp; She is a true healer and

The women are anxious. You have to watch the clock to make sure you have enough time.&nbsp; Most importantly, you take on all their shame and trauma dispelling it with information and humor.&nbsp; Holding the space takes all your energy.</p> <p>During October's group, I noticed that Betty was especially tired after genital show and tell.&nbsp; Our partnership has been a delicate balance: I don't want it to seem like I'm taking anything away.&nbsp; As we spoke on the phone a few days before the workshop, I asked Betty&nbsp;if she'd like me to lead genital show and tell.&nbsp; She answered with a resounding "yes".&nbsp; That is the beauty of our partnership.&nbsp; We're equally committed to sexual liberation and healing for women.&nbsp; The work is larger than us.&nbsp; Letting go of ego and agendas frees us to fully embrace feminism and our true selves.&nbsp; Jealousy and competition have no place in a Bodysex workshop.</p> <p>We had women from Australia, the UK and both coasts.&nbsp; It was a big group; several&nbsp;women were returning to the circle for healing.&nbsp; I love having women in the circle for a second time.&nbsp; We form such deep connections that it feels like going home.&nbsp; It's like spending the weekend with your favorite people in the world.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Leading genital show and tell felt effortless.&nbsp; Betty was on a stool and watched as each woman sat next to me to view her sex organ and appreciate it's beauty.&nbsp; I went over my records - Betty and I have lead 50 workshops together and two retreats.&nbsp; I've worked for the largest law firm in the country, raised $1B on Wall Street and Bodysex is my greatest achievement.&nbsp; Knowing that almost 1,000 women have joined us in the circle means more than any pay check or accolade.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>As we started Day 2, Betty asked the women how I did leading my first genital show and tell and they all applauded.&nbsp; When women support women, the feeling of warmth and generosity permeates your very being.&nbsp;It felt like sunshine on my skin.</p> <p>Erotic recess was super-charged.&nbsp; We had&nbsp;several&nbsp;orgasmic women whose guttural sounds inspired our pre-orgasmic women.&nbsp; It's fascinating how easily we can move into pleasure when we are surrounded by authentic orgasm.&nbsp; I had to snap a pic:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <img alt="Erotic Recess" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2ba10a64-be17-4f2e-aa6c-254c994a70c9" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/IMG_5113.jpg" class="align-center" width="3024" height="4032" loading="lazy"> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I could see that one woman was getting frustrated so&nbsp;I crawled over to support her.&nbsp; She felt that it was taking her too long to orgasm.&nbsp; I know we've all been there.&nbsp; I moved the barbell in and out of her vagina, breathing and releasing sounds for her to mimic and follow.&nbsp; In ten minutes, she was right in front of an orgasm - not long at all in the realm of things that suck up our time as women.&nbsp;</p> <p>I worked with three women in the circle.&nbsp; It struck me that all they needed&nbsp;was quiet support and cues to breathe and release sound.&nbsp; As they were orgasming, their pelvic floor muscles gripped the barbell tight yet they questioned the intensity of their orgasm.&nbsp; If I had let go of the barbell, it would have shot out across the room - no joke.&nbsp; There was still a&nbsp;disconnect&nbsp;&nbsp;between their minds and their bodies - shame and guilt run deep.&nbsp; Every time we orgasm we rise closer to the surface, closer to freedom.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>As the women took part in group massage, Betty and I chatted while she drank some champagne.&nbsp; &nbsp;It seemed fitting since the circle was her achievement.&nbsp; One of the women knelt before Betty, leaned in and announced, "I understand what you're doing.&nbsp; You're releasing us from shame".&nbsp; Betty smiled and gave her&nbsp;a hug.&nbsp; It was a beautiful moment between two beautiful women.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was a magical weekend.&nbsp; Thank you</p> <p>Eva</p> <p>Trixie</p> <p>Beast</p> <p>Eve</p> <p>Karuna</p>

a conversation - I ask her whether she wants to do one more round of groups *fingerscrossed*&nbsp; and hold my breath.&nbsp;When someone is 90 years old, you don't want to push them into work that requires them to be nude for two days with a group of total strangers.&nbsp; Without hesitation, Betty wanted to do three more groups, her exact words were "I'll do groups until the day I die".&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>There are moments in our partnership where we fall out of sync but when we're in the circle - leading Bodysex - everything falls into place.&nbsp; We're both at our best and even better together.&nbsp; It's a beautiful dance that we do without thought or discussion.&nbsp; I believe that this sort of open energy where you hold space for others is why Bodysex is transformative for both the participant and the leader.&nbsp; One of the women understood this immediately.&nbsp; She described how we opened the door but she had to walk through it herself.&nbsp; That is the power of Bodysex.&nbsp; We draw strength from each other but stand tall on our own.</p> <p>We had women from the UK, Columbia, Australia, Berlin and both coasts.&nbsp; Almost half the circle wants to move forward with certification *heartskipsabeat* The work speaks to women from every walk of life, race, orientation and that is everything.</p> <p>Genital show and tell as tense.&nbsp; One of the women was visibly shaking when she sat down next to Betty.&nbsp; Her body was releasing decades of trauma - we encouraged her to let her body shake and breathe.&nbsp; Other women described how they felt like genital show and tell was an out-of-body experience.&nbsp; Women are so shamed about their bodies and vulvas that they disassociate in any sort of sexual context.&nbsp; Women aren't present when they're nude; they not in their bodies.&nbsp; This sort of deep shame and disassociation from their sexual selves&nbsp;underlies the rape culture we all struggle to survive in as women.&nbsp; Genital show and tell is so profound because we break through trauma and experience sisterhood which puts us back in our bodies.&nbsp; I fucking love feminism.</p> <p>For most groups, erotic recess is the celebration.&nbsp; We all shared orgasms and strawberries but group massage was where this group soared.&nbsp; Betty and I sat and watched as each woman&nbsp;received massage&nbsp;from several women at the same time.&nbsp; There was a sacred feeling in the room.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a wonderful exercise in the power of non-sexual touch.&nbsp; Even after they were finished the women wanted to keep on massaging each other - this time in a circle all at the same time.&nbsp; A picture is worth a thousand words.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
