Question 5:
How do you reconcile your feminism (or whatever you choose to call your convictions about sex and gender) with the more traditional feminine roles, behaviors, fantasies, positions and exclamations that you may engage in (and perhaps even enjoy) in the bedroom?





Betty Dodson:


For starters, I haven't had sex in my bedroom since the early '70s. The living room is where I hold sex parties, run workshops, see private clients, and entertain guests, including people I play with sexually.
     I'm assuming you mean do I like getting fucked on my back with my legs pushed over my head while my male partner bangs his big cock into my wet cunt and I scream "fuck me, fuck me!" just before I fake a big orgasm -- or something like that.
     I'd gladly do a consensual scene with the above scenario as long as my partner and I agreed to take turns. Or, if I was with a woman wearing a strap-on dildo, I'd play the same scene knowing I'd eventually get to use an electric vibrator while she enhanced my orgasm with erotic touch, hot words or slow penetration. It's been a long time since I've done the more traditional version of heterosexual romantic love with passionate sex, mind-reading, heightened emotions and what I used to call "spontaneity," which was probably the result of hormones. These days, I like to plan a sex date in advance.
     That doesn't mean I don't have occasional moments of romantic relapse when I flirt with the possibility of being lifted out of my three-room, rent-controlled apartment into a life of luxury, if not by a prince or princess, perhaps by a creative project that goes platinum. Just before my mother died when I was fifty, I bet her I could still score a millionaire. "It isn't worth it, Betty Ann," she snorted. "Make your own million." Like Sallie, I don't mind playing a submissive role sexually, but I could never sacrifice the life I have now, even though the rewards would be all of the material luxuries little Cinderella girls dream about. I've had far too many years of glorious freedom to be able to follow that Golden Rule: He who makes the gold, makes the rules.
     Not long ago, a wealthy man wanted me to be his new "girlfriend" which was flattering, but it meant playing a more traditional female role where I'd pretty much be on call and have to spend a lot of my time with him. And when two people spend a lot of time together and fall in love, they become one; the problem is, Which one? So I proposed the alternative of remaining sexual friends and he accepted. Now I can enjoy him and his wealth when we're together and avoid the otherwise inevitable power struggle.
     I adore living alone, having occasional mutually orgasmic partner sex, a consensual threesome from time to time and negotiated fantasy role playing with women.While that might sound like a lot of action, remember, most of my orgasms are still with myself.
