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.
-
The single most important key to sex that I've yet discovered is conscious rhythmic breathing; the more you breathe the more you feel and the more you come alive. Many of us breathe only enough to survive but not to live fully. Deep breathing is a door to waking up to healing and to more personal freedom.
-
The real power is not corporate; it is private. They choose not to have a name. It is a dynasty of banking families - Rothschild and Rockefeller being two - that operate chiefly out of London, in the boardrooms out of the city of London and the Bank of England, which they own.
-
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.
-
Masturbation is a meditation on self-love.
So many of us are afflicted with self-loathing, bad body images, shame about our body functions, and confusion about sex and pleasure, I recommend an intense love affair with yourself
-
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.
-
There's a lot of pain and suffering out there.
I think there needs to be more joy, and love, and orgasms in the world. We are a pleasure-negati ve society. Suffering is much more acceptable. And I want to tell women that they are sexually powerful beings, but they often don't get in touch with it because they are socialized to please men.
-
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.
-
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?
-
I don't think being obsessed with sex is any stranger than being obsessed with stamp collecting.
-
Blow jobs are okay, but kissing clients is still a taboo.
-
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.
-
I've been putting out sexually explicit images of myself for years.
I know this sounds bizarre, but somehow it makes me feel safer.
-
Vaginal penetration only doesn't work for most of us.
And we're not all meant to be monogamous either, especially since women are capable of having far more sex than men. Try to get that fact across in America!
-
A monogamous marriage and family is what some women want - but not all of us.
We are mostly doing serial monogamy anyway.
-
Men are hung up on breasts. They're looking at the titty dinner. It's pathetic.
-
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.
-
When I do documentaries, my best information ends up on the cutting-room floor.
People have trouble dealing with sexual honesty.
-
The powers that be understand that sexual freedom or liberation with any kind of joy means they are losing control.
-
It's a pity that there's such a negative connotation about paying for sex.
-
We don't have to believe the story of our lives we've been told.
You're not the same person you were when you first had sex and not the same as you'll be five years down the line. All redefining yourself requires is the bravery to be fearless, and let go of the judgments.
-
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.
-
The first thing the male establishment wants to control is uterus and birth.
You might call it womb envy. But even worse is the fact we are still using the male model of sexual response for women.
-
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.
-
People who have been prostitutes are ten times more willing to be johns than the average person. So, if you've been paid for sex you understand the value of that experience on some level.
-
My johns adored and worshipped me, therefore they empowered me.
When I was 18, 19, and 20, I had a poor self-image and needed attention. It's hard for people who haven't been prostitutes to imagine, but I think it's often true. There can be a very symbiotic relationship happening.
-
A lot of women I worked with didn't respect their clients.
I had some clients who didn't respect me, but still you somehow made it work.
-
There have been times where I have definitely felt like I was a john.
As a pin-up photographer for ten years, when I was photographing men and women, to be honest, sometimes I felt like I was a john, especially when I was shooting guys because they - you know - they had to have big erections in the photos.
-
The women working at abortion clinics are really on the front lines and the true heroes of feminism.
-
I consider the 70s to be the youth of old age.
So all you women out there who are afraid of getting older, just keep your orgasms in place, eat a lot of vegetables, take exercise, and you'll be fine.
-
It's very hard for a man to ask questions about sex. The smart ones do.
-
You have a choice every moment of the day to open yourself up.
And when you do that, it opens the channels of love.
-
Wait for a miracle and it will never come. Take responsibility and you'll invite a miracle.
-
A lot of the women that I treat will tell me that when they talk to their siblings or mothers they very often have similar challenges. One could make the case that it's nurture, not nature because these twins were brought up together, but you can't rule out the genetic argument.
-
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice! That's the condition of the female.
Women have been conditioned to sacrifice for centuries.
-
The person whose face is between your legs is gonna get lockjaw.
-
The heart and soul of sex is the physical heat it creates between two bodies.
Sometimes playful, sometimes passionate, sometimes pure and sweet, this skin-to-skin connection renews your bond and strengthens chemistry.
-
Sometimes it takes a guide from outside the place you know too well to remind you why you are here.
-
Feel free to cover your eyes at anything that might upset you
-
It's just blind luck when a woman is born into a wealthy family and attends the best colleges and joins top sororities.
-
Although my Dad was a talented calligrapher and both of my younger brothers were successful, I was the first one in my family to graduate from high school.
-
I had very little support from any feminist organization.
But fortunately my post-marital lover, who had bailed out of academia over political in-fighting, was a one-man support team. He was the one who pushed me to write.
-
I did large drawings of couples having sex! Men and woman enjoying intercourse and oral sex in a Madison Avenue Gallery? That was the first time I broke a barrier that made me think, some idiot is going to blow my brains out for sure.
-
We are at war with men, and most women don't even know it.
-
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.
-
I'm fully aware had I stayed with my art, I would be well known, respected and most likely rich.
-
Art is all about becoming a name, a brand; it isn't based on talent or creativity.
-
The galleries are simply corporations in the art world - "Here's a million dollars for this latest piece of crap" - but I'm not about to go along with the gallery system.
-
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!
