 W.R.: Mysteries of the Organism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Betty Dodson is an artist who asked friends to masturbate in her studio so she could draw them.
Dodson discusses her experiences in drawing acts of masturbation, as well as her discussions within consciousness raising groups about female sexual response.

 Too sexy for her rocker - Salon
Betty Dodson is 72 and Eric Wilkinson is 25, and after three years together they are still hot and heavy -- and happy.
Betty Dodson, 72, and Eric Wilkinson, 25, are not Harold and Maude, but their age difference invites comparisons.
When Dodson first announced that she'd spent a weekend having fabulous sex with the man she affectionately calls her "young pup," her friends were less incredulous about their age difference than they were about the fact that Wilkinson was male.

 Clean Sheets Erotica Magazine
Dodson's latest tome is equal parts sex advice and sex memoir, from the wisdom of this 72-year-old PhD who holds forth on everything from sex toys, intergenerational sex, and the clitoris to anal sex, vaginal strength, and sexual coaching.
While Dodson has very firm views on many aspects of sexuality, what¹s most promising in her work is the idea that couples can learn to enjoy each other and sex by working on it and studying it as they would any other topic they're eager to improve on.
Dodson relates actively seeking out lesbian and bisexual S/M in her 50s and prolonged periods of solo sex, and it's both slightly jarring as well as refreshing to read about the various stages she¹s gone through in her personal life.

 Betty Dodson's Orgasms for Two
Betty is nothing if not a realist, and she describes the problems, along with the pleasures of coupledom.
Betty often calls their bond a “mentor-student relationship.” But she isn’t ashamed to say she’s his “sugar mama,” or that he’s her “puppy.” The term “boy toy” doesn’t seem quite fair since Eric does work hard at his job as Betty’s personal assistant.
Betty’s most beloved instruments of female pleasure are and always have been the big plug-in vibrators that are sold in pharmacies where they masquerade as “massagers” to “relax tired muscles.” Well, they’re good for massaging your aching back, but they’re great for massaging your throbbing vulva (though the packaging doesn’t say a word about that).

 Marcy Sheiner - Give V-Day a Chance
Betty Dodson's tirade against The Vagina Monologues and V-Day represents the worst thinking of the "sex positive movement." Like many sex radicals, Dodson can see no further than the clit or the tip of the penis.
Dodson says that the audience is "brought to a delirious high during the first half only to be dashed into hopeless despair during the second half." I for one did not leave The Vagina Monologues in despair: I felt high and empowered, and I suspect so do most women who see the show.
Dodson resents the money raised by V-Day, earmarked to help women in Afghanistan and other places where women are horribly oppressed; she'd like to see the money spent on sexual pleasure instead.

 Betty Dodson on Non-Momogamy [Archive] - Nina Hartley's Sex Forums
It's clear that Dodson is a woman on a mission, and while she's excised jealousy from her heart, she also simply doesn't have time to brood.
Dodson realizes that open relationships aren't for everyone, though she feels strongly that the cultural imperative concerning monogamy is dangerous and damaging.
Dodson can make it sound so easy (if only!), but admits that she was plagued by jealousy in the first year of their relationship.

 Planet Waves | Happy Birthday Betty Dodson...
Betty challenged feminists on the issue of pleasure, and she did it with pleasure.
Back when I thought I was just polyamorous, Betty pointed me, more than any therapist, astrologer, spiritual teacher or homeopath, to the simple fact that I had to love myself. There have been tens, hundreds of thousands, millions of people who have actually gotten this message, for real.
Betty's most vital teaching, as I see it, is that sexual awareness and literacy are two of the most important things in the universe.

 Dr Susan Block's Blog
I introduced Betty with the story of how her first book gave me my first orgasm, and she came onstage exclaiming it was the best intro she’d ever had.
Some call Betty the “Mother” of Masturbation, and some, the “Grandmother.” I prefer “Godmother.” After all, she didn’t invent the thing.
I’d rather end talking about Betty (now blissfully past the age where she has to struggle with an Aunt Ruby or an Aunt Flo) and what an inspiration she was Saturday night to a great, sexy, intimate evening at the Speakeasy, and what an inspiration she is and always will be to a freer world.

I know he's the twentysomething boyfriend of "Mother of Masturbation" septuagenarian Betty Dodson (bettydodson.com).
I plan to reread Dodson's book but run out of time, perhaps because subconsciously I want to be swept away by the novelty of a new lover.
He's brought a Hitachi Magic Wand, as befits Betty Dodson's boy toy, and shows me various positions I've never heard of—one leg straight and one leg raised up on a pillow, one with me on my hands and knees while he stands behind me—all interesting, but also distracting.
