Dear Betty,
I'm a student at a Southern university and I and my roommate love your website because you support masturbation with no reservations. We women need more Betty Dodsons. Many people still get so uptight when you even say the word "masturbation."
I have masturbated since as early as I can remember. My parents are very liberal and they let me and my young brother know masturbation was OK when we were very young. It was no big deal when I would see my brother masturbating in his room, I would just laugh and sometimes watch a little. He was always taking his time outside my room what I was dressing. I never acted coy so he always got positive messages from me and mother who was always running around nude.
In high school when I started dating, I loved it when my date wanted me to jerk him off. Of course I wanted him to do the same for me. It was all safe sex because I didn't want to get pregnant. But it was exciting all the time. I must have masturbated twenty or thirty boys, including the captain of the football team.
In my university I have found a curious mixture of attitudes about sex. There are still a lot of conservetive students who think sex outside of marriage is sinful. (It is a state univsity.) Thank God most students here are very liberal about sex and my roommate agrees with me that masturbation is very healthy. If fact, Barb and I have already had some mutual masturbation sessions. She has a good digital camera and took the pictures of me that I am sending to you.
Dawn
