Betty Dodson (1929–2020) was a sex educator and advocate of sex-positivity. Associated with second wave feminism, she began her career as an artist doing erotic illustrations. In the 1970s, however, she found success leading workshops designed to connect female participants to their bodies and erogenous zones by self-pleasuring. Dodson referred to this practice as Bodysex; her work sought to reduce shame around female masturbation and encourage self-love.
