My Bodysex Experience
On my way to my very first BodySex workshop, my heart began beating a familiar beat that occurs when I'm about to do something that I know will have a lasting effect on me. My hands get mildly clammy, my chest warms, and my eyes hyperfocus, taking in everything around...
Finding Patience with My Aging Body While Loving All My Orgasms
How do I feel about my body? Thanks to Bodysex, today I can say that I love my body unconditionally. However, that doesn’t mean that I always like everything about my body. At 65, my latest challenge is finding patience with my aging body. Every decade has brought its...
Housework, Coffee Breaks, and Orgasms
I spent the morning cleaning. I don’t actually like cleaning, but thinking of how I was high up on the ladder cleaning windows, singing along to Allison Russel‘s album ‘The Returner‘ and shaking my butt as though no one was watching (and I’m pretty sure all those...
My Body and Orgasm
So how do I feel about my body? A body which has been with mine for the last 40 years… A body that gave birth to my son, the body that is constantly changing and keeps surprising me all the time. Now after many years of practicing sexuality and working...

Claiming Myself Was Difficult
“Your body is like two different bodies put onto one,” he said. At that time, he was the hottest guy I’d ever dated. Tall, blonde, bright blue eyes. I was 27 and my family loved him. “Your upper body is so tiny, bony even, and your lower body is like kinda big,” he...
Self-hatred for Our Bodies is a Form of Bigotry.
In a Bodysex workshop we start out answering these two questions: How do you feel about your body? How do you feel about your orgasm? It is a great way to open! The leader starts sharing, and one by one each participant continues. The leader holds space, and then we...
My Body. My Orgasm.
Each Bodysex Circle starts with a ritual where every woman openly answers the questions, "how do you feel about your body?" and "how do you feel about your orgasm?" Before stepping into the Bodysex sisterhood, I never consciously thought about how I feel about my body...

Bodysex Takes Everything You Have
As we planned our last Bodysex retreat, I signed the largest deal of my life. It felt just like Goop: I was profoundly uncomfortable, second-guessing everything yet clear that I would move forward. I couldn’t miss the opportunity to represent Betty’s message of...
Vulvas are Pure Beauty
I’d licked, sucked, and entered plenty of vulvas but until my first Bodysex retreat I hadn’t ever just gazed at them. I hadn’t experienced simply taking in their shape, folds, and colors. I like vulvas. I like the texture of vulva skin. I like sliding my fingers on...
I Left My Self-Doubt in the Circle
I am in a life long relationship. We’re the same age and met in our early twenties. In our mid fifties each of us started to feel a nagging need for personal growth and self-exploration. We both were looking for an adjustment to our life choices and routines. We both...
