Dearest Betty,

Hello to my sexual grandmother! I'm just about to turn 50 this year, and though always sex-positive and enjoying the hell out of my sexuality, it was you, not William and Virginia, not Lonnie, not Nancy... none of the other "big names" in sex except YOU could get me there... and you did. I can't imagine you'd recall, but you really did help me learn about my unique sexual rhythms and as a result, in a follow-up email when I asked you about vaginal stim orgasms not being as consistent as the clit alone, and that after one whopper, I'm feeling "done" - yet, I don't want to be. I want more! Your reply to me was, "Oh you darling little sex piggy you!" You made my year with that nickname!

So now, here we are in the city, celebrating still being together as a couple after 15 yrs., and I see that it is masturbation month! Perfect, because we'd wanted this trip to "stimulate us" and spark creativity to make room for new levels of connections. We're renewing our commitment vows this fall, and NY felt like the perfect spot to be "new" in again.

All dressed up and no place to go... so we can't find any great info on anything sex-positive happening around town! We've got to be missing it! Are you speaking anywhere these days? We're in town until the 18th. If you were speaking anywhere... we'd show up and throw rose petals in your path. Thank you again, dear Betty, for all the great education, and for your humor in the way you communicate something that should always be so joyful in life!

xoxo,
Madeleine
