Welcome to the Sex Ed Book Review Podcast! In this installment, Landa dives into the CLASSIC book "Sex for One" by Betty Dodson. Landa and Barb explore the author's journey as a pioneering sexual health educator, discuss the book’s frank approach to solo sex and self-pleasure, and reflect on its impact, strengths, and legacy. Whether you’re a longtime fan of sex ed resources or just curious about the evolution of conversations around self-pleasure between the 1970's and today, this episode offers thoughtful insights, a few laughs, and plenty of book recommendations for your to-be-read pile.
