Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
Dear Betty,
Thank you for all your posts, answered mails and other contrubutions you give. Since I found your web page, I read quite a lot and took the first step to help myself.
Dear Dr. Betty (and Carlin!)
Not a question, just a letter of gratitude. I'm a nineteen year old girl who's been reading this site since I was sixteen. I came across D&R when I was doing my own research online after I became frustrated with the non-information being spouted at me in sex ed.
Although I have masturbatory memories as far back as I can remember, from ages 12-16 the only way I could come was with a showerhead. Eventually through this site I learned to come with my hand, with a vibrator, watching porn and with my own fantasies.
Hi Dr. Betty,
I'm a humongous fan of yours and you have completely changed my outlook on sex, love, and life in general. So thank you! I have a question for you. When I stand up with my legs pressed together you can see my clitoral hood quite easily, as well as my inner labia. It's all hanging out for everyone to see. Is this normal?
Dear Dr. Betty,
I'm from Germany, I stumpled upon Your webpage some time ago and I liked it very much especially for my further sexual education and understanding of the sexuality of women. Finally I decided to write you some of my questions in hope of Your answer (though You probably have questions/problems more dire to attend to) - well here it is.
My girlfriend never practiced masturbation and self-touching or even examining of her genitals in her childhood and as a teenager (the old "parent-this-is-forbidden-and-girls-dont-have-nothing-down-there-thing").
Hello Betty,
I have follow you almost from your very beginnings and I find myself aging slowly. I am now somewhere between bi/lesbian with a history of a few partners. I will be 60 in a few days and right now I'm enjoying the company of a cute woman half my age.
And she has introduced me to her strap-on dildo... and i am enjoying sex with this woman to the tune of multible orgasms. But my question is I think I only ejaculate (squirting) while my lady cums with a nice thicker warm liquid. I seem to not have that. I have been in menopause about 5 years while lady still has a period. I love our sex both with toys and fingers and anything we can press together.
Dear Betty,
I'm from Bolivia in Southamerica, my country is next to Peru, Argentina and Brazil. It' s a poor country, people are very religious and closed minded, woman always have to serve men in all ways, and if I decided to marry or live with a man it is sure that I will become her maid, men never help with the house or the kids, all that charge is for the woman, and about sex, it is the same thing that the mexican's girlfriend told in your site recently, sad but it is like that.
In my city is difficult or impossible to find organic things as I told you, I'm going to try with baby oil, thank you.
Hope you are well, I love all the things you said and advice in your site, I can't stop to marvel myself everyday that I read it.
Hey Betty,
I want to start off by saying that I really love your site. It has taught me so much about myself and made me feel..more normal.
I see a lot of comment criticizing men who like to ejaculate on their partners, especially on their tits or face. I have always wondered why so many women look upon that so negatively. My girlfriend has no problem with that (except in the eye which is painful), but really doesn't understand why it is such a turn on for men. I don't really know why it is either, but it is for me.
Sometimes I think that the objection to it is because so many men in porn ejaculate on their partners on film. And indeed most porn is for men. But I think if it weren't such a staple of porn, there would not be so much objection to it.
Dear Dr Betty,
First I just want to say THANK YOU so much for this website and all the content! I am 22 years old and Up until my first year in college I was one of those annoying Christians who was against absolutely anything sexual until marriage. Then i came across your website and very soon after i came across my clit. and let me tell you it has been the best experience ever! I only use my hands and i am able to orgasm almost every time.
My boyfriend is from Mexico and I'm from New York. Culturally, we are so completely different, and that also applies to our bedroom activities. When I first told him that I had previously used vibrators, he flipped out and almost broke up with me. Apparently people who use them where he lived were considered some type of sex freaks or something. He kicked me out right then and there, but we've gotten past that. The problem is, after I told him about the vibrators, he obviously knew that I masturbated., but there's more.
You conclude your 'Clit Talk and Multiple Orgasms' video with an interesting quote, Betty: "If we can't appreciate, honour, and understand the power inherent in the female genitals, there's never going to be a women's liberation movement." What do you mean by the power inherent in the female genitals?
Hope your sexploration will take you for years to come to orgasmic landscapes of the mind

Dear M,
I'm 19, and I had made out with the same guy at my university twice on different occasions while being drunk at a club, until he asked me on a date. Last Wednesday we met up in a bar, and it had been, really, my first date with anyone I'd kissed before. He bought me a glass of wine which I drank to make me loosen up a bit. I bought one glass for me, and then he bought me two others because if he asked if I wanted one, I said yes - because when I drink wine I want more.
Hi Betty.
I was hoping you would be able to help me. My boyfriend and I are both 21, and have been together for a little over eight months. We love each other etc. etc. Despite having an extremely active sex life, my boyfriend struggles to cum during any type of sexual play. He achieves orgasm through masturbation, he squeezes his penis quite tightly during masturbation, but he doesn't seem to get any closer through sexual contact. It doesn't bother me at all (he is amazing in bed :D) but it seems to bother him a bit. He gets frustrated afterwards (whether he masturbates to climax or not) and despite my honest urging that I don't care, I want him to feel comfortable in bed with me.
Hi Doctor Dodson!
May I say you are my hero! I am 16 years old and you have allowed me to love myself and appreciate my body. I have always been open about talking about sex, and others told me that it wasn't "normal for a girl." You are truly inspiring and the reason why I just love being a woman even more. I am a virgin, but I plan on becoming a sex life coach just like you! I am currently on the pill just for the sole purpose of controlling my acne, and yes I hate it.
Hey Dr. Betty!
I have an uncooperative vagina. My clitoris and I get along really really well but my vagina and I? Not so much. For much of my teens I had vaginismus that prevented me from wanting any sort of penetration during masturbation sessions. There was no partner-sex. Now that I'm in my early twenties I have wanted to expand my routine a little and include penetration. So far most of my issues with vaginismus have disappeared, but I now have next to no sensation in my vagina.
