Hi Dr. Betty,

I am in love with your videos. I deeply respect both you and Carlin's opinions and I thank you for opening my eyes removing shame around masturbation.

Happy to know you enjoy our videos. However, you would benefit more from reading the information inside the website.

I am 17 years old, and I've been masturbating for as long as I can remember. In 3rd grade, I would climb up and hang on the fireman's pole, and rope in gym-class for hours, just clenching and unclenching my PC muscles (I think that's what they're called). I would hang on the corner of our kitchen island, and off of door knobs.

The PC muscle is very important for enhancing your orgasms. Use it at the same time you stimulate your clitoris using coconut oil to enhance the sensation.

Dear Betty,

I have been masturbating since I was about 13 years old (I'm 17 now.) The first time I had an orgasm was with an electric toothbrush as a vibrator. Since then I have gone in phases, trying to masturbate with only my hands, reading porn (in the form of smutty fan fiction), watching porn, using fingers on the inside and outside. I've experimented with lube and I now have a real vibrator (and a real dildo is on the way!) I also have a boyfriend (I identify as bisexual) and we have sex regularly.

I just read several question from women in their teens to fifty and beyond searching for their first orgasm. This sexual suffering seems never ending and it breaks my heart. Something totally natural has been perverted by religions in male dominated cultures. This is when wives and mothers are turned into a sexual police force controlling their daughters to be virgins until they're married. Patriarchy could never survive without a matriarchy to keep it in place.

Hi Dr. Betty & Carlin:

I have had good heterosexual sex throughout my life. Now, at 50, I'm more interested in ever to have sex with another male. Seems that my most arousing fantasies these days involve sucking a beautiful hard cock and fucking and getting fucked hard by another guy... It's such a hot fantasy!

My question is, do you feel there's a double standard when it comes to male vs female bisexuality. I feel that somehow it's seen as OK for the girls to fuck other girls, but for boys to fuck is just down right gay. Your feedback is respected and appreciated!

Dear Dr. Betty,

Hope I'm not being too nosey. I would like to know what your sex life with men is like these days?

Hi W, Since I'm about as far "out" sexually as you can get, I loved your question. As you might suspect, not many men (young or old) are interested in having sex with an "older" woman, especially one as knowledgeable as I am. They want youth with no comparisons which keeps alive the "virginity myth."

Since I did the same thing when I was in my seventies (The youth of old age.) I understand this. During that decade I was living with a man who was some forty years younger. Our sexlife was spectacular! I was also teaching him all that I'd learned as a sexually active woman.

Dear Dr. Betty,

I appreciate your frank and honest approach to sexuality, Betty, and the way you and your team are focused on empowering women. Thank you for that. I've been wanting to ask a true feminist this question for some time: Is it ethical for a person to have sex for money with someone they know is cheating on a partner?

I get that the "cheating" part is mostly the fault of the person soliciting (usually male). However, one of the reasons sex work is frowned upon is because of this fact. Most women who are not sex workers tend to be very judgmental about prostitutes, which I think stems from this reality.

We rarely honor our feminist heroes on Memorial Day. So I’m taking time to answer a friend’s question: “Who are your fallen sheroes?”

I start by honoring past Goddesses including my current goddess of Sexual Love and Abundance who lives on in my mind’s eye. I call upon her daily asking for guidance, strength and compassion. Then I honor historical figures like Cleopatra, a few more Queens and other dynamic women from the past. Then I jump all the way forward to the Suffragettes who got women the vote in 1922. That’s when I zero in on Victoria Woodhull, the feminist who openly supported sexual freedom by taking many lovers in a variety of configurations. What an inspiration! Next I take my hat off to Margaret Sanger honing in on the importance of birth control.

Hello Dr Betty,

I found your website a little while ago and it's been such a relief to be able to read through so many informational posts and not feel abnormal anymore.

I'm 33 years old and until very recently I'd never had an orgasm in my life.

Dear Betty,

I have a boyfriend that really loves me, cares for me and supports me. We open our relationship for seven months while I was studying out of the country, but he was too jealous and broke up with me. I came back and we got back together. But now it is almost impossible for me staying monogamous. I cheated on him and now I feel like I am a horrible person.

I like having sex with my boyfriend, I trust him and we use a vibrator on my clit so I always finish. With other guys I dont dare to use it, so I dont always have orgasms, but I get really turn on and really really wet, I feel alive!! and that doesnt happens me anymore with my boyfriend.

I LOVE your YouTube videos!

I'm 47 years old and you answer all the questions no one else ever did - thank you! My question is this, as I get older I much, much prefer to be "selfsexual" - meaning I no longer want or feel I need a partner. I don't consider it just masturbation however as I feel it is my "sexual-preference" to NOT be with another person. In fact, truthfully, I never enjoyed having a partner. I am realizing I was probably always selfsexual. I would love to get your opinion and insight on this.

Is being selfsexual a legitimate and "okay" way to be?

Dear K,
