Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
Some feedback on our presentation at AASECT. I'm the "beautiful new young partner". Big thank you to Wendy from Good Clean Fun:
This year at AASECT, a friend of mine who has produced Sexual Education videos for decades won an award for his film about Betty Dodson's life and work. The award presentation was touching and funny. As she presented the award to Mark, and then took it back, saying "Hey, this is my life, where the hell is my award???" The audience roared with her typical, outlandish and fearless truth telling. One never expects anything but her being totally and completely herself, which I think is bound to happen when your life work is about opening up sexuality to millions of women.
She is considered the founder of sex-positive feminism which centers on the idea that sexual freedom is an essential component of women's freedom. Her outspoken views of sexuality excludes labels and as such she has long called herself a heterosexual, bisexual lesbian. She looks forward to the day we can all be just "sexual."
Seeing her last weekend in the company of her beautiful new young partner, it was clear that her lifelong career in making pleasure a priority was paying off again. Their new online website and video series "Basic Sex Skills: The New Porn." is entertaining and adds Betty's own inimitable touch to the emerging field of women created porn. Made by and for women to both focus on female pleasure and engage in challenging traditional gender and sexual roles.
