Should we talk about masturbation?

Masturbation has been covered in many films. It has to be subtle because this is still a very touchy subject. Pun intended, LOL. In the film Spanking the Monkey, it is the focus of the story of a young man caring for his mother who has injured her leg. Outside of porn films there have been very few films where we see women indulging in the act of self pleasure. Once again Jennifer Jason Leigh does an incredible job in the film Single White Female. One of my all time favorite masturbation seens comes from the film Chain of Desire. The scene is shot beautifully as three people watch each other from their apartment windows and join in this safe activity. Masturbation and voyeurism combined. In the film Bent we get a descriptive visual of the act of sexual masturbation and the same in the film Cool Hand Luke. George Kennedy talks about his Lucille, referring to the young lady who washes her car as the prisoners look on in agony. It's an intense visual with much energy and explosion as the act itself. Thanks for stopping by, Keep an open mind.
