When Hitachi launched their ‘personal massager' on 20th May, 1968, they had no idea (or so they claim) that they were about to, um, go down in sex toy history. The Magic Wand was initially developed to relieve tension and relaxing sore muscles - but soon became celebrated as the most powerful vibrator the world had ever seen. In this episode, Rebecca, Olly and Arion discover how its innocent packaging helped boost sales when female masturbation was taboo, reveal the role sex educator Betty Dodson had in introducing it to the chattering classes, and consider how Apple would react today, if it was revealed that ‘rubbing an iPad on your bits felt good'...

Masturbation will get you through childhood, puberty, romance, marriage, and divorce, and it will see you through old age.” - Betty Dodson.We explore in this episode the often shameful discussions around the topic of masturbation (or "self-love"). Episode 3 highlights the benefits to masturbation—seen in one's mental health, physical health, and relationships. The benefits include being the safest sex outlet, lowering stress, helping with sleep, increasing the likelihood of achieving an orgasm, and much more.Both of us share our "first" experience with masturbation and how our childhood homes and upbringing shaped the lens through which we saw masturbation.

Warning: Explicit Conversations About Politics, Culture, & Sexuality Ken Starr passed away last week, so I'm re-releasing this comic, erotic and very historic, turn-of-the-21st century Dr. Susan Block Show throwback, taking you onstage at the World Pornography Conference where I presented the 1998 Boobie Award for “Best National Pornography Production” to Kenneth W. Starr, the notorious neo-Puritanical Independent Counsel who spearheaded a ruthless witch hunt, power grab and smear campaign against then-President Bill Clinton, climaxing with the release of The Starr Report—like a hot money shot that lands in your eye or perhaps up your nose. “Never has a piece of common porn so captured the hearts, minds and gonads of so many Americans, even those of us who really don't care who swallows the presidential semen.” I proclaimed to my audience of professors, porn stars, lawyers and reporters hosted by Annie Sprinkle and Candida Royalle. “Never has the mainstream American media proven itself to be such a fantastic public relations machine for a single porn production, broadcasting every rumor and innuendo in this sperm-swirling storm of gossip, intrigue and sanctimonious outrage.” If you lived through it, you know how it dominated the news, and #KenStarr was the instigator, chief voyeur and Grand Inquisitor.  I also take you into my broadcast bed for an intimate after-party at the Villa Piacere where Capt'n Max and I explore the juicy details of the #StarrReport with such luminaries as Dr. Betty Dodson, Richard Pacheco, Kat Sunlove, Jack Hafferkamp, LaSara, KISS and Tod Hunter.

In the 70s, as the feminist movement evolved, focusing on various platform issues including equal pay and voter registration, Betty latched on to sexual liberation as a symbol for self-empowerment. Realizing that so many women weren't enjoying sex, she asked, "How could women ever be truly equal if they were reliant on men for their sexual satisfaction?" She quickly became the leader of the sex-positive feminist movement. And the rest is history.”Dr. Queen's Shares not Scares: Sex Ed for all! Dodsonandross.com Description from their website: “Betty Dodson and [Carlin Ross] launched this site in 2007 to promote the "Betty Dodson" method of self love and independent orgasm.

Of course you would!  What's the catch?  Well, it's technically illegal. Nevertheless, the Wives brave the possibility of jail time (or, more likely, a tiny little fine) to bring you their hands-on experience of cannabis use and sex.  First, wrap up in a cozy sweater and sip a delicious Vanilla Honey Cider while listening to this episode's Hot Tale.  Ams has a major change of heart regarding newbie whispering (..didn't she used to say, “I hold dicks, not hands.”?) when she and Mr. Ams have mind-blowing experience with a new to swinging couple at podcast-a-palooza.  Next, the Wives explore some of the benefits of cannabis use, including why cannabis might be better for you than alcohol, the components on cannabis that get you high, edibles versus smoking or vaping, as well as some of the risks of cannabis use.     To get a sexpert's opinion, the Wives interview the CannaSexual herself Ashley Manta.  Finally, the Wives assign themselves sexy homework: Kat wants to explore making her own gummies and cocktails with Cannabis tincture and Ams is going to keep a cannabis journal of her psychedelic sexploration.  About Ashley Ashley Manta is an award-winning sex educator and coach and has become a sought-after authority on mindfully combining sex and cannabis as part of her CannaSexual® brand.

A Tribute to Betty Dodson with Dr. Carol Queen   Thanks to Betty Dodson, millions of women have known orgasmic bliss … What a legacy! And there is so much more to Dr. Dodson's legacy. Exploring all of this with Dr. Carol Queen, author of The Sex & Pleasure Book, was such an enlightening experience! As someone who was mentored by Betty, Dr. Carol just returned from New York City where she participated in the memorial for her at the Museum of Sex. Betty died last year on Halloween at the age of 91. The museum has a wing devoted to BAD (Betty A. Dodson), her art, sex education, and videos. Indeed, she has been one of the most important voices for women's sexual pleasure and health for more than five decades. She spoke about Western civilization's war on female sexual pleasure. Betty promoted pleasure as one of the main drivers of sexual arousal and personal well-being.   BAD's first book, Liberating Masturbation (1974, out of print) became a feminist classic. Her book Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving (reissued 1996) sold over a million copies. In 2007, Betty teamed up with Carlin Ross to develop a new website www.DodsonandRoss.com. The two women based their content on questions asked from people around the world. Her Bodysex Workshops taught women how to overcome negative body image, pleasure anxiety, ignorance, and shame. In her book Sex for One, she said, “The most consistent sex will be the love affair you have with yourself. Masturbation will get you through childhood, puberty, romance, marriage and divorce, and it will see you through old age.”   Dr. Diana last visited Dr. Betty in 2010 in her NYC apartment. We spoke of her memoir where she reported an actual bird's visit one night. This was a sacred experience that taught Betty patience to wait until the morning when the bird could have the daylight to see her way out. The bird was a “divine visitor” who offered Betty this message: When the time is right, the light will be there to see your way out. October 31, 2020 was Betty's time. The light saw her out … leaving some sensual/sexual light behind for those of us who loved and admired her.

Pónganse audífonos y abran su mente, pues platicamos con una mujer que admiramos mucho y que nos reta a romper nuestros propios tabúes para disfrutar de una sexualidad plena y liberadora. Ella es Fabiola Trejo, y es especialista en placer sexual, educadora sexual feminista e investigadora en sexualidad. Pero además, Fabiola imparte Bodysex, creado por Betty Dodson. Este es un taller para hacer las paces con tu vulva, con tu placer sexual y con la masturbación. Sí, leíste bien: un taller donde te masturbas en grupo, aunque en realidad es una experiencia mucho más trascendente y menos morbosa de lo que crees. El placer de la mujer ha sido usado como un método de control a lo largo de la historia, y nos toca romper con eso. ¿Cómo? Escúchalo en este episodio. Por que cuando eres dueña de tu placer, vives una vida mucho más plena y feliz.

Episode Summary Welcome back to the second season of the Erica Diamond Podcast! WARNING: if you're prudish, you might want to sit this episode out. However, if you're not, and if you come to realize that women's pleasure and sexuality are a part of everyday life, I think it's definitely worth tuning in.  I grew up with Erika Kawalek and was pretty blown away by her career path since we lost touch after high school. If you're a reader of my blog or follower of mine, you know that I don't shy away from hard topics. I actually welcome them! And because this topic has become so mainstream - thanks to Gwyneth Paltrow's new Netflix Show The GOOP LAB, and specifically "That episode with Betty Dodson," that's why this conversation is taking place today. Betty Dodson and her famous Bodysex circles exist to decrease shame around our bodies and heal ourselves from previous trauma, allowing women to experience pleasure in and out of the bedroom. Let's dive in, shall we? In This Episode How Erika got into this line of work as a holistic intimacy coach and Bodysex Circle leader The process of registration to treatment of the Bodysex Circle. The correlation of previous trauma related to sexual health issues and/or struggles Why Bodysex Circles are with other women, and not one-on-one. The benefits of group training vs. individual help How married/committed women can improve their sex lives with their partners The difference between vaginal and clitoral orgasms Why yoga and sexually can be correlated Jade egg and tantric yoga And LOTS more uninhibited talk!

Betty Dodson is a well-known pioneer in women's sexual liberation, having sold more than 1 million copies of her first book, Sex for One. Much of her fame has come from her work not only advocating masturbation, but conducting workshops for more than 30 years in which groups of about 10 or more women (and at least once a group of men) would talk, explore their own bodies, and masturbate together. She is a founder of the pro-sex feminist movement, having left behind the more traditional feminist movement because she considered it banal, antisexual and over-politicized.
