Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
It's finally live. In beta and ready to serve:
My sex life coaching business website. I've been teaching solo for going on three years, but this is my first web home besides my existing presence on D&R. I want to thank Betty and Carlin for their support and Betty again for making my cause a reality and dream come true. I chose her as my mentor in 1999 and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her. Thank you, and much love to you, Betty.
My form of sex life coaching is very similar to Betty's, but there are some differences. The biggest is I work with clients via Skype when desired and make house calls.
Below is a letter written by D&R's good friend Derek Polonsky, MD nominating Betty for the Masters and Johnson award. I love how he describes Betty's contribution to human sexuality and how it changed him as a practitioner:
Dear Marta,
My latest client wrote me an email the other day. It struck me, so I asked her permission to include excerpts in a blog post. She agreed, as long as we changed the names of her and her husband. Read on:
I have just started reading your book Sex For One. Bravo! Thank you for helping me start to destroy this huge wall I have built around myself for the past 23 years. I have purchased many books and plan on studying sex and relationships from home. I have been interested in this field for about three years now. I want to know if there is any advice you can give me as to what texts I should study. I want to be able to coach people to be better lovers, by themselves and with others.
Betty has looked at 1,000s and 1,000s of vulvas. We decided to go through her sex coaching process blow by blow. We started with genital show & tell and then got into the story of how Betty's mom had a porn pussy. Highlights: sometimes she has to do a bit of grooming to get to the clit, dangling inner lips skip a generation, and you must claim your sex organ.

We began with the notion of "permission to exist outside the law" then shifted to hands-on sex coaching...the madonna/slut phenom...break up excuses...the 5 year itch...fuck buddies...and partner sex as the sacred cow.

Below is the excerpted email from a client who'd heard of me from the Marie Claire article:
"I want to thank you again for our conference call this morning and tell
you that it was a very beneficial start to my 'awakening,' shall we
say. You clarified the basic questions I had and helped me understand
some new things. I also appreciate your last statement about
recognizing my own emotions within what I would call an energy exchange
with someone new. I made a conscious decision when I decided to talk to you. It was scary
because you are tied to sex and eroticism and I have never allowed
myself to fully open up and stay in that place very long. But now I
have spoken to you and it was fine. I can speak further with you sometime. So, thank you and until we speak again!" --Cynthia

I do not currently run Bodysex Workshops, but I do offer private sex coaching sessions for women which is like a workshop for one - it's $1000 for the afternoon.
All sexual orientations are honored. One session is usually all that's needed, but additional time can be arranged. I also teaches advanced sexual skills to women who already achieve orgasm regularly. My studio is conveniently located in Midtown Manhattan. There are hotels nearby for out of town clients.
