Liberation starts with masturbation
SEXUALITY / An interview with the Mother of Masturbation, Betty Dodson
Diane Walsh / Xtra.ca / Monday, April 30, 2007
MOVING BEYOND: Sexual liberation is within our reach, says Betty Dodson, who describes herself as a 'heterosexual-bisexual-lesbian- SM-leatherdyke-professional career masturbator.' (Xtra West files)
She's been called the Mother of Masturbation and credited as one of the most important queer, sex-positive feminists in North America's sexual liberation movement.
Betty Dodson has spent nearly four decades liberating sexuality and encouraging everyone, and particularly women, to experience the pleasures of their own genitals. Her bestseller, Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving, has sold more than one million copies in the last 20 years; she is also an artist and a sex educator. Now she is coming to Victoria to present what's being billed as a "frank, funny and fearless" workshop on orgasms at the Erotica Festival of Film and Arts, May 5.

Man [...] must count no one but himself; that he is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth." (Jean Paul Sartre, 1943)
