Dear Dr. Betty,
I was always interested in sex, and I was lucky because my sister, who was three years older, was interested in sex too. I would pester her with questions like where do babies come from, why do men pee standing up, what is a Kotex, what are condoms, etc. She was pretty good about answering questions, but sometimes she would say you are not ready for that yet or pretend not to hear me. She passed along her old Judy Blume books about sex for adolescents and her Sex Education Councel brochures from school. I also found some adult porn she kept on the top shelves. So I became the source of sex wisdom for the other boys and girls my age.
I was very curious about my pussy and started masturbating at eight or nine. Loved it of course. Two of my girlfriends and I started watching each other dance with no clothes on, which eventually led to a kind of masturbation. We looked at some of my sister's porn and let a few boys look it at too. Two of the boys and my friends Mary and Ginger and I finally masturbated together. David showed us how he could cum, which was very exciting. But we girls knew enough not to touch his cum.
One of the high points of my sex education was when my sister went off to college and gave me her copy of your book, Sex for One. I loved your book and I have read it through at least four or five times during the past few years. It is such an honest book. I love your artwork too. Your drawings of sixteen pussies were especially informative. Most of all, your sense of humor made everything about sex seem OK!
Love, Anne
