Betty Dodson Blogs and YouTubes!

I just discovered that Betty Dodson is a blogger and you tuber now! The following video was just posted on November 21st and addresses several of the issues we have dealt with in class, including "sluts" and pornography. Keep in mind before viewing it that it does contain a candid discussion of erotic topics from the "sex positive" position. In the video, Dodson and Ross define a slut as, "a woman who breaks sexual rules. And given the rules that we are raised on how can you not break them? You have to in order to be a sexual person. So if somebody calls you a slut, I would suggest thanking them. It's a compliment."




Her book, Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving could be very helpful for those with insecurities about the appearance of their genitalia. There are line drawings of many different genitalia, both male and female. I think these images help people realize that we come in all shapes and sizes, even down under.

I found that she now has a website. Instead of the black and white line drawings from the old book, there are 11 pages of photographs of male and female genitalia to illustrate the many shapes that they can have. If you want to see them, click on "Galleries" near the center at the top of the page. Dodson works in cooperation with Carlin Ross, a former attorney turned sexpert and they both have You Tube videos as well.
