Betty DodsonBetty Dodson Instead of being a well-known painter, I became everybody’s favorite dirty joke. Come to think of it, teaching masturbation skills is pretty weird.
Betty DodsonBetty Dodson We are constantly protecting the male ego, and it’s a disservice to men. If a man has any sensitivity or intelligence, he wants to get the straight scoop from his girlfriend.
Betty DodsonBetty Dodson We all have our individual romantic or idealistic ideas. To get information that masturbation is our basic form of sex is hard, because who wants to admit they’re masturbating?
Betty DodsonBetty Dodson The media only wants to get the view of the flaming radicals because they make better copy than those of us who are more sensible. I’m a feminist and I think I’ve done a lot of good.
Betty DodsonBetty Dodson It’s just blind luck when a woman is born into a wealthy family and attends the best colleges and joins top sororities.
Betty DodsonBetty Dodson The powers that be understand that sexual freedom or liberation with any kind of joy means they are losing control.
