Dear Dr. Betty,

I am a 60 year old crone.  I take lisinopril, hctz, and lipitor as well as lexapro. I have not had sex with a woman for more than 5 years. I have not touched myself in about 4-5 years. I have been very asexual in mind and body. I have been "dry" a very long time. I recently met the woman of my dreams. I am aroused to passion. We have made love twice.

Dear Dr. Betty,

I love your website. I consider myself reasonably well informed but I've learned quite a lot from it. I'd appreciate your comments on a problem I have. When my husband stimulates my 'G' spot during his manual manipulation it feels wonderful. The problem is afterward I have frequent, urgent and often false needs to urinate. These sudden feelings of needing to take a pee sometimes go on for several days.

She was so soft spoken on the phone that I had to ask her to speak up several times. Badu told me she was an African woman from Kenya who had been circumcised. Two years ago, she began looking for information to understand what had been done to her as a ten year-old child. She came across my name online and made the call.

Dear Betty,

I appreciate so much your book "Sex for One". It's amazing how these old self-defeating messages rob us of our dearest self-love. I believe orgasm rejuvenates our whole system as taught by Yoginis for centuries. My first orgasm (never to be repeated) was a Whopper through oral sex from a "guru" type.

Hi there Gorgeous Betty,

Dear Dr. Betty,

I love your advice in Bust, and felt like you were the safest and most reliable person to ask this question (and was afraid what I would get if I "googled this!). I've been with my boyfriend for 4 months and it has been the most loving and sexual relationship I've ever had. The last time we had sex, he was giving me oral and started to lick my anus. It felt amazing and I had a great orgasm.

Dear Dr. Betty,

I believe that a high percentage of my orgasmic pleasure lies in my uterine contractions, although I find it difficult to separate all that I feel during orgasm into the reaction of my various internal organs.

Dear Dr. Betty,

I thought I knew my body quite well, but I started wondering recently, just for the sake of curiosity, about my hymen. I have read that it is half-moon shaped and that sits on back inner wall of the vaginal canal, but can I see it? I got out a mirror, and I looked at my pretty lips, my clitoris, and all the other lovely things I'm familiar with, but when I tried to look inside...it was all just collapsed pinkness.

The first time I saw The Vagina Monologues was in 1996 when it was off, off, off Broadway. Friends of mine who'd seen the play had alerted me that the author and sole performer, Eve Ensler, mentioned my workshops. That evening I sat in a small theater listening to a charming young woman who talked about my Women's Sexuality Workshops with a distorted view of what I'd been doing for over twenty-five years. She called it "The Vagina Workshop." Never in my wildest nightmare would I have ever considered using the word vagina to describe the work I'd been doing.

Because of Prolapsed Uterus Orgasms Painful!

Hello Betty,

I am 57, and in the past 2 years was diagnosed with (not severe) rear pelvic wall collapse, and the beginnings of a prolapsed uterus. This discovery was made when I began to have pain during intercourse and problems with constant urinary pressure. At present I am using a vaginal estrogen cream, which has helped significantly with the pressure on my urethra, but I still have pain during intercourse. But my real concern is with my orgasms.

Afraid I'll Fart or Pee if I Orgasm During Sex

Hello,

I am super embarrassed to even ask this, but ok I am 20 years old and I lost my virginity when I was 16, and I have had 7 partners and still none of them have been able to give me an orgasm, I have had plenty orgasms through the clitoris through masturbation, but never have I been able to reach one during intercourse through my g spot. I think I am just scared and do not let it happen, but I am sooo sexually frustrated.

Is it Normal for a Straight Man to Obsess Over Men's Genitals?

Dr. Betty,

I have a kind of unusual question, and after seeing you on television, I figured you may be one of the best and knowledgeable people to ask. My ex-husband and I have a fairly good sex life. I think he is not as freaky as he claims to be. His idea of freaky is a threesome (with him running the show). But, since I'm not into it, we have not tried it.

Are Incest Fantasies Normal?

Hi Betty,

I don't know quite how to put this, so I'm just going to come out with it. I have (something like) incestuous fantasies. Sometimes I call my boyfriend Daddy when we have sex, and he tells me that I'm his "good little girl." I'm not thinking of my father...or anyone else's father for that matter. I just don't know where this is coming from, but my orgasms have never been so intense.

The Art of Getting Apart

Breaking up is hard to do and yet it happens to most of us. Statistics show that half of all marriages end in divorce and many people remarry to repeat the pattern again- and again. Add to that the number of couples living together without benefit of marriage along with couples in committed relationships and we're talking about a major portion of the population. Instead of receiving any useful information on how to begin and end a relationship, I was given a romantic love story that promised passionate sex in marriage with a happy life ever after.

Is Licking Ass Dangerous?

Facing Hysterectomy & Don't Want Lose Orgasm

Dear Dr. Betty,
