| Betty Dodson, Ph.D., artist, author, and sex educator is an international authority on sexual self-help. Born in Wichita Kansas, she moved to NYC in 1950 and for the next five years attended art school at The National Academy of Design, Art Students League, and one year in Paris. Dodsons three ground breaking erotic art exhibitions in the sixties and seventies put her at the forefront of Americas peace and love movement. She achieved wide recognition before leaving the art world to become a feminist activist and public advocate for womens sexual liberation.
The early 70's gave birth to consciousness raising groups where women, by sharing their histories, discovered that their problems were not personal but socially generated. Apparently, the solution was to confront social obstacles to equality collectively. However, by 1973 Betty Dodson clearly realized that becoming sexually liberated was a powerful component of women's pursuit of equality, so that year she started her own groups for women called physical and sexual consciousness raising. The groups became her pioneering Bodysex Groups where women learned to appreciate the beauty of their genitals and to explore their own sexuality with masturbation. These nude groups were based on learning sex by doing sex.
In 1974, Betty Dodson wrote, illustrated, and published her first book, Liberating Masturbation: A Meditation on Selflove which became a feminist classic. She ended up distributing over 150 thousand copies in a period of ten years. In 1986, she sold her book to Harmony, a division of Crown Publishing Group, and it was renamed Sex for One; The Joy of Selfloving. In 1996, Betty did a major revision, and Sex for One became a Crown trade paperback classic. It was chosen for the Quality Book of the Month Club, and has been translated into seven foreign languages.
Betty received a Ph.D. in Sexology from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco in 1992. The bold, innovative teaching methods she created in her workshops for women over a period of twenty five years were documented in her video, Selfloving: Portrait of a Womens Sexuality Seminar. Excerpts from Selfloving have been shown on HBO and CNBC television in the United States and on national television in Holland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Great Britain. In 1995, she produced a video about her hands on individual coaching with five different women, Celebrating Orgasm: Womens Private Selfloving Sessions. Dr. Dodson maintains a private practice in New York City.
