Covid Policy:
The health and safety of our workshop participants is our highest priority.
We encourage you to wear a mask if traveling by plane or using public transportation. We encourage you take a rapid test for Covid before you travel and in the mornings before workshop sessions. You do not need to send proof of a negative test or vaccination before attending.
If you experience Covid-19 symptoms, test positive, or have a family member or room mate test positive within 7 days of the workshop, please stay home. We will transfer your full workshop fee, including the deposit, to a future workshop. Dates and locations for future workshops are at our discretion. A photo of the positive test can be emailed to Laura@BettyDodsonFoundation.com.
Considerations:
Pleasure is the high of Bodysex. We encourage participants to abstain from the use of recreational alcohol, cannabis, and other mood/mind altering substances during the workshop.
Cell phones can be a distraction. We want participants to be present and fully immersed during the workshop. Please keep your cell phone silent or turned off. Store your cell phone and any other device connected to the internet (such as a smart watch) in your bag outside of the circle.
Photos: There will be a designated time on the second day when we are fully clothed for those who consent to group photos. Nude photos of yourself and others are not taken during the workshop. Please avoid group sharing of photos and sharing photos of other participants on social media to protect privacy.
Respect and protect the privacy of everyone in the workshop. What happens in the circle, stays in the circle. Sharing your own story and experience with others outside of the circle is fine.
Have questions? Here are some answers
About Bodysex
Why participate in a Bodysex Workshop?
Many women/vulva-owners have been raised to feel shameful about their genitals and sexual desires. Our physical self-worth and pleasure are controlled by social norms that deny our birthright to feeling good about our bodies, having satisfying orgasms, and owning our sexuality. Bodysex is designed to heal shame, enhance self-esteem, and enrich our orgasms.
Why are workshops done in the nude?
A negative body image is very common among women in our society. We don’t see a range of real body types in television, movies and media. Nudity in the Bodysex circle allows us to see a range of normal bodies. When we are able to spend time in our bodies without clothing, we literally become more comfortable in our own skin. Your registration and attendance at a Bodysex Workshop indicates that you consent to participate in the nude.
Who may attend Bodysex Workshops?
All women/vulva-owners of any age 18 or over, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation are welcome. If you are pregnant, menstruating, or menopausal, please join us. As long as you have a vulva/vagina, Bodysex is for you.
What if I have my period?
No problem. You can use a tampon, menstrual cup, or a piece of natural sea sponge during Genital Show & Tell and Erotic Recess. Some women even choose to free bleed onto a towel. Bleeding is a natural part of being a woman and there is no shame in it.
What if I have a yeast, bladder, or other infection?
No problem. You are welcome to participate. Just use some over-the-counter or other treatment before attending. Every participant has their own supplies and equipment so you will not be sharing.
What if I can’t orgasm?
If you orgasm, great. If you don’t, that’s ok too. Orgasm is NOT the goal. We’re here to heal body shame, overcome sexual guilt and experience true sisterhood. There’s no agenda and no expectations.
