In SEX FOR ONE: The Joy of Self-loving, Betty Dodson underscores the fact that everyone has the freedom to access one's own sexual energy through masturbation. It is the overall theme of this innovative book. Originally published in 1974 under the title, Liberating Masturbation: A Meditation on Self Love, it quickly became a feminist classic as more and more women responded to its call to take responsibility for their own orgasms. With boldness, humor and intelligence, Betty describes her workshops for women and shares her own sexual journey to becoming a public advocate of masturbation which she claims is everyone's first and primary sexual experience. Sex For One will encourage all women to free themselves of any inhibitions they still may harbor about masturbation and realize that it is truly "a meditation on self-love".
Betty's video SELF-LOVING views this workshop and is available in our How To Video section.
Below Dr. Charley Ferrer, Clinical Sexologist, interviews Betty Dodson, Ph.D., artist, author, and sex educator who is an international authority on women's sexuality. Dodson achieved international recognition with three ground breaking erotic art exhibitions in the sixties and seventies before she left the art world to become a feminist activist and public advocate for women's sexual liberation.
In 1973, she began running sexual CR (consciousness raising) groups for women which later became her Bodysex Groups. In those groups, women learned to appreciate the beauty of their genitals as well as to explore the varied experience of orgasm through practicing masturbation skills.
