Becoming responsible for our own orasms was a basic statement about individuality and equality. It established us as people who had a choice when it came to love making. We were moving away from romantic sex toward the infinite delights of erotic loving.
Betty Dodson
Introduction
Under capitalist society, we are taught to repress and feel shame around our sexual expression.
But sexual liberation starts by exploring our erotic relationship with ourselves.
Betty Dodson was an erotic artist, sexual health activist, and pro-sex educator, most recently appearing in Netflix's The Goop Lab shortly before her death in October 2020.
Throughout her life, Dodson dedicated her work to liberating people's perspectives on self-pleasure, and in particular empowering women to explore their sexuality as an act of feminism.
In this memoir, originally written in 1986 and revised in 1995, Dodson explains how exploring your own body and getting to know your desires without a partner helps build the foundations for healthier relationships with others.
