A monogamous marriage and family is what some women want - but not all of us. We are mostly doing serial monogamy anyway.

When I found out after that first successful exhibition that the gallery wanted me to do another show like the first one, I come out two years later with four 6-foot drawings of classical nudes masturbating. The gallery director flipped the freak out!

The women working at abortion clinics are really on the front lines and the true heroes of feminism.

The person whose face is between your legs is gonna get lockjaw.
Betty Dodson

When I do documentaries, my best information ends up on the cutting-room floor. People have trouble dealing with sexual honesty.
Betty Dodson
Image
It's very hard for a man to ask questions about sex. The smart ones do.
Betty Dodson
Image
Men are hung up on breasts. They're looking at the titty dinner. It's pathetic.
Betty Dodson

Masturbation is our first and natural form of sexual activity and if that's inhibited or damaged, then we suffer for the rest of our lives.

If you go out to dinner with someone, you find out what they prefer in food. We ought to be able to have a conversation to find out what people prefer when it comes to sex.

The powers that be understand that sexual freedom or liberation with any kind of joy means they are losing control.

Image
Women who come to see me admit that they've never looked at their sex organ they've never seen their clitoris. Now tell me if that isn't a form of being psychologically genitally mutilated? For them, the clitoris doesn't exist, but we're worried about women in Africa!

Women don't run around saying, Oh, I took a Bodysex workshop, and I had so much fun, and Betty Dodson taught us how to blah blah. They come, they go, and I rarely hear from them again.
Betty Dodson
Image
I used to think masturbation was not really sex because it only involved me. That's a very limited view of human sexuality, and it isn't going to work for women.
Betty Dodson
Image
It's just blind luck when a woman is born into a wealthy family and attends the best colleges and joins top sororities.
Betty Dodson
Image
The clitoris is the female sex organ, and the fact that we aren't told that when we were small children is devastating. We grow up with no information about the pleasure center of our body.
Betty Dodson
Image
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 Dodson
Image
I think I should get the Nobel Peace Prize before I die for ending the war between the sexes.

Image
I'm fully aware had I stayed with my art, I would be well known, respected and most likely rich.

Because orgasmic sex would lead to women's autonomy, knowing who you are and what we want: Women are not going to follow what some jackass tells us we must do. Not all women are going to get married, be monogamous and raise a family. It will destroy the current social structure based on a sexual double standard that we're currently living under.
