This is a fantastic book telling the story of Dr. Betty Dodson, a sexual pioneer in the area of masturbation and solo sex. She realized early in life how fundamental a problem women's negative feelings about their own bodies and sexuality was and set out to correct it herself. She created erotic arts show consisting entirely of people masturbating, which were often much harder to get shown than previous similar erotic art showing partnersex. She went on tour, showing "Developing an Asthetic for the Female Genitalia" slides to thousands of women, and later going on to lead group masturbation seminars where women learned to be naked together, accept and appreciate their own bodies and beauty, and celebrate their sexuality together by experiencing orgasms in a group. This version of her earlier book includes information for men as well. Her bravery in the face of a hugely sex-negative culture has been the turning point for probably tens of thousands of people, placing her high on my hero list. She also runs a website www.bettydodson.com, where she answers questions and lists a few of her favorite sex toys (and SHE SHOULD KNOW!)

This is another for the Mauer Mandory Reading for Kindergardeners list.

Hmmm...what to do now..?
