My Tribute to Betty Dodson®
Betty Dodson® wasn’t my friend. But I was her student even before I knew she was my teacher. When I was a teenager, I looked at my vulva with a mirror after my mother’s persistent encouragement. It was the mid 1970’s and my mother probably had read an article written...
My Interview in Glamour
When I sat down with the writer, Jenny, I knew this would be a quality piece. I love this younger generation of women. They're smart, capable and out there making their mark. Here's the entire article How Carlin Ross, the Woman Who Orgasmed on the Goop Lab Netflix...
Betty’s Latest Feature in the NY Times
It seems like a million years ago - driving into Betty's with Grayson to sit down with the NY Times. This is our first post-COVID-19 piece and I couldn't be prouder of Betty. Somehow no matter what's going on around her, Betty is right on point. Here is my favorite...
The Pleasure is Ours
I can't describe how it feels to watch yourself display your vulva and orgasm on a theatre screen the night before its released on an international media platform like Netflix. It was surreal and amazing. I've never been more proud of Betty and me, our work, our...
My Vulva is on Netflix
Last spring, those of us in who are members of Betty Dodson’s “army of orgasmic women” knew that Betty and Carlin were working on a big secret vulva project. In early July, Carlin contacted me to ask if I’d be willing to share a picture of my vulva for the project:...

Sex During Your Period is Just One of the Reasons
Yes, that's my menstrual blood and I'm bleeding right now. I am in my power. This post has been rolling around in my mind - I've been thinking about how much I love being a woman and how my menstrual cycle connects me to the tides, the lunar cycle and to all living...
Our Danish Sisters
My First Bodysex Workshop with Betty Dodson I only knew Betty for a few months when she asked me to travel with her to Copenhagen. Betty hadn't held one of her bodysex workshops in over 12 years and she was heading to Copenhagen to hold a new workshop with 13...
Partner-Assisted Orgasms
As Betty said, "it's about my finger on my clit". Partners only enhance your orgasm because no one knows your sex organ better than you. But we do love their fingers and there's nothing like staying at the opening 😉 Did I mention that Betty shared her new fantasy...
Penetrating Your Vagina for the First Time
You will need a few basic items. If at all possible set aside at least an hour in a warm room that's completely private. Turn off the phone and put your cell phone in another room. Wash you hands and make sure you have smooth clean fingernails. 1. For your genital...
Our Sexuality is a Crucial Element in Our Personal Balance
Last week, I facilitated a private Bodysex session and when we finished, as usual as always, I had this feeling that these sessions give me a unique chance to closely observing the orgasm. And particularly, observing the lack of orgasm. I recalled what old...
Post-Abuse My Vagina is Chronically Tight & Dry
Dear Betty, As a child and early teen I experienced sexual force by an adult repeatedly. I would squeeze my vagina very tight to prevent penetration. It only angered the adult and ultimately did not prevent him. As a result when I finally had sex with my someone in my...
First Time Orgasm
Most young girls will begin by using their hands and massage oil. A young woman who has a history of little or no masturbation and has reached her mid to late-20s and is looking for her first orgasm, a battery driven vibrator can be a good choice. There are many of...
Bodysex is Individual Sex with One
From the moment I start thinking about the date for the Bodysex, it starts the ritual. The sensation is to keep alive the ceremony more than replicating a workshop. It’s something that connects me to the journey of wisdom that Betty Dodson launched in the 60s, and I...
The Basic Structures of Your Vulva
Betty has championed the distinction of "vulva" vs "vagina" for decades and there's a very important reason. Your vulva is your clitoral glans, inner and outer labia and your vaginal opening. Your clitoris exists solely for pleasure. Women can enjoy multiple...
