Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
When it comes to sex, we live in a world that forces us backwards. The nutty folks who “feel” that they are in charge of our genitals would like to roll science back in time - way back.
I mean, I understand. Pleasure is dangerous. Joy is dangerous. Our genitals are very dangerous. So political and religious leaders encourage ignorance about our genitals from the very beginning - starting with the kids. That’s why Wisconsin State legislators want to mandate the teaching of abstinence and marriage in sex education classes - regardless of the contrary evidence showing this type of teaching actually encourages more problems for kids regarding sex.
For the first time in two decades - yes two decades - New York City schools must teach sex ed to kids starting in 6th grade. It's a legal requirement so there's no room for concerned parents to picket or take their kids out of the classes...every child in new york city public schools must receive sex ed in addition to the current HIV education.
No more abstinence only. It feels pretty sweet. And they're finally going to focus on condoms. In the new sex-education classes, teachers will describe how to use them, and why, going where some schools have never gone before.
Wrote more on my "vaginal orgasm" downloadable pdf today that will go on sale as soon as we have the software to do so. Also thought about anticipation in sex and how few people utilize it or understand it as erotic. The majority of people are constantly praising spntaneous sex that comes out of nowhere. It is powerful, like a surprise birthday party or present that has muscles or curves and everything else that is sex. However, I think that too many people get so enamored with that vibe that they aren't happy with other forms of sex or make it the best. Further, they will find fault with partners who don't do it everytime sex is up for grabs.
We're in Phoenix for the AASECT conference. It will be our first joint presentation and the debut of the first 2 clips from our Sex Skills Series.
Dear Betty,
First let me say that your website is amazing. The human body is a beautiful thing and definitely nothing to be ashamed of, and these wonderful stories about people's sexual experiences are something to be learned from. I have to say that while I haven't read any of your books or seen your videos, I like the messages that you deliver about sexuality, how it is something that is natural and far from sinful. Based on what I've seen from friends and from others stories, my relationship with my girlfriend is a little unusual and something that you might find interesting.
