Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
Charlie came by Betty's so we decided to talk sex work. We agreed that an orgasm is our divinity, sometimes you just want to be filled, and we're channeling our sexual energy into our website....which means we're having sex globally.
We all need to know what this means for us. For Betty and I, it means devoting our lives to liberating female sexuality (that's alot of clit stim)
;)
I asked Betty what would happen if all women were orgasmic - then they would know that they were ok. Betty shared how she lost her virginity...her favorite sex game Just-Put-It-In-A-Little, and her first porn drawing in 8th grade.
Women had their own sexual revolution in the 60s that the feminists never acknowledged. It was about clits, vibrators, and choosing how to have your own orgasm. Becky Chalker, author of the Clitoral Truth, came by and we talked about all the lurid details.
Betty and I decided to sit down and talk about our favorite parts of Betty Dodson: My Sexual Revolution - our favorite parts of Betty's life. Her memoir really is a blue print for how to live your life as an independent woman. It's about how Betty decided what was right for her....and how you can do the same.
Betty has watched 1000s of women orgasm in her Bodysex groups and her private sessions. I asked Betty to break down her process step-by-step. Her words of wisdom: keep going. Women have an infinite capacity for pleasure.
Betty and I had the pleasure of interviewing Carol Downer - the mother of the abortion movement. She was jailed...she was censored but she never stopped teaching women how to take control of their own bodies. From contraception to menstrual extraction, she did it all. This is one of my favorite podcasts :)
A Book of Women's Choices by Carol Downer & Rebecca Chalker
Sheila Shea is the woman who started the bodysex groups with Betty. She was in town and I had to turn on the microphones. From group sex to how they started the genital show & tell ritual, we hit it all. And we all agreed: everyone liked Hustler's split beaver the best.
Midori was in town and we had to get an interview with this amazing woman. She's best known for her expertise in Japanese rope bondage but that's just the beginning. Dan Savage referred to Midori as a superstar/supernova.
We talked about our feminist history and her new workshops. We're in love and nearly had a threesome.
