WINNER Betty Dodson

The World's Queen of Female Masturbation who was also a ground-breaking erotic artist in the 60's.

Never afraid of brutal honesty about sex (she encouraged her 68 year old mother to start masturbating to orgasm), or getting in at the deep end (she attended and threw hundreds of orgies) it's not surprising that Betty wasn't accepted by mainstream publishing until '87.

Betty did, of course, publish her own books in the seventies. She ran her masturbation workshops for 25 years from her New York apartment and began producing videos in the nineties after she got a PhD degree in sexology.

Thanks to Betty, thousands of women have learned to have orgasms through her basic masturbation skills.

Now aged 75, she lives with her 28-year-old lover and an older lover from the sixties runs her brilliant website.

Sadly for us, but understandably, Betty feels that international travel is no longer pleasurable unless it's a private jet, so she won't be joining us. She wishes us many happy orgasms...
