Flirting With Betty Dodson
I literally laughed aloud when I got to the last line of this flirtatious exchange between Betty Dodson (the 83-year-old author of the famous masturbation book Sex For One or — as she initially titled it back in 1974 — Liberating Masturbation) and Salon interviewer Thomas Rogers:
Why do you think it’s important to incorporate masturbation into a relationship?
You are only 20, wait until you are having sex…
I’m 28.
Oh, you’re an old man, I thought I heard you say 20.
No, I’m not quite that young and beautiful.
Oh now you really are too old. I was thinking of making a date with you but now you’ve got too much age on you.
I’m also a flaming homosexual, so that doesn’t really help us either.

My blog Masturbating at the Movies is right up your alley http://mydem.bl....html
Well played, sir. Well played.
:-D
Too funny.
The exchange makes me want to read Betty Dodson’s book. Also, I wonder if she has an autobiography.
Nice blog, btw. I love the content and mellow tones.
Dodson, Annie Sprinkle and a few others get to be unusual on the interwebs because, although they are over 50, they are still considered sexually interesting. Of course, they both have tits. Does Ron Jeremy ever get mentioned anywhere without being blatantly insulted as disgusting? Frankly, before I turned 30 I made jokes about ‘dirty old men’ myself. Never knew where we came from. Now I’ve gotten old and I know.
My point about not wanting to bother arguing about cheating in sexless marriages from an earlier post hinges more around the Internet being (as is the general populace) ageist. Cheating isn’t my point (for all practical purposes I’m celibate) once we hit 50 the rest of you just assume that for whatever reason we’ll just get out of the way and stop being sexual, so there is little reason for me to link to some of these ‘how to get laid’ things. And, my goodness, the bazinga point in this exchange with ms. Dodson is ‘she’s barking up the wrong tree because the interviewer is gay’. Gasp! I’ll do a bit of reverse ageism: I’m going to go out on a really thin limb here and be real surprised if Dodson hasn’t had at least one mutually successful sexual encounter with a ‘flaming homosexual’ at some point in her mature life, although I could be wrong about that.
