Having long been a Betty Dodson fan, I often wondered why I never got around to watching this video. The title for some reason didn't inspire me maybe or the fact that it was a workshop, I'm not sure to be honest but I really should have known better. For anyone whose read her books knows that there is a reason Betty is referred to as the Mother of Masturbation. So one evening not so long ago I decided to sit down for an hour and see what I was supposed to be missing according to a friend.

The film starts off with a short photographic and narrated bio of Betty Dodson and why she arrived at the point in her life that lead her to teach these workshops. It was hard not to identify with many of the things that she said and I'm willing to bet that most women will pull something out of this part of the video.

Betty then explains what we are about to witness and we watch as 9 women are welcomed into a room by a naked Betty. The women soon disrobe as well, and at this point it becomes clear that these are not the beautiful stereotypical women you find in so many of the videos out on the market today. Ranging in ages from 20 - 60, the women are then seated ina circle and we are introduced to each one.

The workshop then begins with some very simple but as I can personally attest to, effective breathing exercises. The women then talk about what they have learnt and achieved since they did their last workshop as none of them are first timers. This is then followed by a short interlude where Betty both shows and describes why taking an hour to pleasure yourself is important.

What follows is more exercises. This time Betty demonstrates various poses such as the Goddess pose which if you've never heard of, let alone tried you are in for a real treat as I later discovered for myself. Then came my favorite part of the video and images that have stuck with me since I watched it. The genital show and tell, where Betty has each women open her legs and describe her vulva to the group. Each one is complimented for it's beauty and this is the perfect way to demonstrate that we are all different and beautiful down there. The range of genitals within the group was astounding, from flower like outer and inner lips, to small, large and everything in between clitoris. At this point one of the women describes the experience and I feel for many this is exactly what it would be.

We now move onto the second day of the workshop and once more we open with some breathing exercises. At this point Betty also encourages the women to taste and smell their own genital scents and tastes. More than that she explains why this is such an important thing to be able to do and does it in a lighthearted way and as always with betty she leads by example.

Next we took a look at kegel exercises and barbells. If you have no idea what I'm talking about at this point, then this section of the video will help you familiarize yourself with the PC muscles and how best to exercise them for better sex. We are then treated to a practical demonstration by both Betty and the group on how to use the barbells.

Betty is well know for her love affair with the Hitachi magic wand and this part and the finale to the video is dedicate the vibe and it's usage. What I personally got out of this section was some really good methods, positions and techniques that I'd never tried before but you bet I have since. After some instruction, the women are simply let lose and what follows is a climatic and orgasmic finally as we witness 10 women enjoying the pure pleasure of sexual energy as it's released via orgasm. Not only is this part of the video erotic, visually stimulating your likely to learn from watching. You can almost feel and taste the sexual energy through the screen as you watch.

Each workshop is concluded with a group massage, Betty explains the reasons for this in her usual no nonsense style.

What's It all add up to?
This video really is a celebration of self loving and female sexuality. Tastefully done with an accent on the fact that all women can experience wonderful orgasms, Betty's unique style of teaching left me dying to try out some of the new techniques I'd learnt through watching. I'm pleased to report that even I learnt something from this video and my orgasms have gained in power by simply taking on board some of the things that Betty so expertly brings out in the video.

If you're looking to expand your repertoire of masturbation techniques, quickly and simply, through some sound advice then this is a definite must have. The emphasize is not on how you achieve orgasm but the fact that you can no matter what your age, size, shape, fears or inhibitions you may have or feel you have. If there is only one video in your entire collection that you buy for yourself as a women then this has to be it, in fact this should be required study in schools as Betty herself says at one point what she is actually teaching is the basic fundamentals for life.

You have to know that this reviewer is kicking herself for waiting so long to watch this video.
