Bodysex® Workshop
January 27-28, 2024
What happens in a Bodysex® workshop?
Bodysex® is the method developed by Betty Dodson, an icon in the field of sex education, more than 40 years ago to help women heal body shame and pleasure anxiety while exploring how to have better orgasms. It was born in women’s consciousness-raising groups where second-wave feminists gathered to share their first-person experiences. This two-day workshop will include personal sharing and participation in Bodysex rituals within a circle of supportive women. Workshop participants are nude; seeing real bodies helps us accept our own. Participation in a Bodysex workshop is truly transformative!
This workshop is limited to ten participants. It is usually held over the course of a weekend, Saturday and Sunday, 1:00 - 6:00 pm. Exact details and location will be shared with participants closer to the workshop date The workshop includes a new, rechargeable Magic Wand for you to keep.

Workshops are held in the nude. When you arrive for a two-afternoon weekend workshop, you will be greeted naked. You will undress and join the circle. We share a space in which we instinctively see our collective and individual beauty. Body shame is replaced with hope. Nude workshops foster community and sisterhood. When we are stripped to our essence, we are no longer our titles, our clothes, or our jewelry.
Nonsexual touch is a comforting part of the Bodysex sisterhood. Examples include but aren’t limited to: holding hands in the circle, an arm around shoulders during genital show and tell, touch during group massage, or a group hug at the end of the day. Any touch that is intended to produce a pleasure response will be done with your own hands.
Consent: Your registration and attendance at a Bodysex workshop indicates that you consent to participate in nudity and nonsexual touch during a Bodysex workshop. If you feel uncomfortable with being touched at any time, please speak up and withdraw your consent.
All women/vulva-owners of any age 18 or over, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation are welcome. If you are pregnant, menstruating, or menopausal, please join us. As long as you have a vulva, Bodysex is for you.
Everything that you need for the workshop will be provided, including water and snacks. However, feel free to bring anything special that you might want, such as a preferred snack food or a favorite sex toy. If you have your own Magic Wand and Betty’s Barbell, feel free to bring them as well. If you do not want the Magic Wand included in the workshop fee, please contact Stephanie for a fee reduction.
