Download or read book Masturbation in Pop Culture written by Lauren Rosewarne and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through reference to over six hundred scenes from film and television—as well as a diverse and cross-disciplinary academic bibliography—Masturbation in Pop Culture investigates the role that masturbation serves within narratives while simultaneously mirroring our complicated relationship with the practice in real life and sparking discussions about a broad range of hot-button sexual subjects. From sitcoms to horror movies, teen comedies to erotic thrillers, autoeroticism is easily detected on screen. The portrayal, however, is not a simple one. Just as in real life a paradox exists where most of us masturbate and accept it as normal and natural, there simultaneously exists a silence about it; that we do it, but we don’t talk about it; that we enjoy it but we laugh about it. The screen reflects this conflicted relationship. It is there—hundreds and hundreds of times—but it is routinely whispered about, mocked and presented as a punchline, and is inevitably portrayed as controversial at the very least. Masturbation in Pop Culture investigates the embarrassment and squeamishness, sexiness and inappropriateness of masturbation, showcasing and analyzing how our complex off screen relationship is mirrored in film and television.
Download or read book With the Hand written by Mels van Driel and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People call it everything from “walking your dog” to “scratching your bean.” Women usually do it at home. Men, it sometimes seems, do it everywhere. Some people think it’s healthy; others think it is a sin that will send you straight to hell. But while many people declare that everyone’s doing it, no one actually talks about it—outside the pages of Cosmo, masturbation is among the most taboo of topics, not suitable for polite society or public conversation. Mels van Driel boldly breaks this silence in order to help the world overcome its diffidence toward solo sex in With the Hand. Consulting everyone from doctors and sexologists to feminists and chauvinists, van Driel explains what masturbation actually is and describes the latest discoveries and developments on the subject. He also looks to theologians, historians, and philosophers to understand perceptions of masturbation across cultures and religions throughout history. Covering a great number of topics, including age, location, and frequency, as well as the effects of circumcision and the ability to have multiple orgasms, With the Hand also explores masturbation in art, literature, poetry, and music. Addressing the physical, mythical, and mythological, this often humorous and always informative book clears up the confusion surrounding this universal, and universally unmentionable, topic.
Download or read book DIY written by Eric Sprankle and published by Union Square & Co.. This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first-ever social and scientific history of masturbation, which unapologetically critiques a system that has sought to control the very human desire for self-pleasure. Despite decades of medical and psychological research confirming that masturbation is healthy, the act remains shrouded in taboo and pseudoscience. In DIY, Dr. Eric Sprankle reveals the untold story of crusaders on a long campaign to suppress masturbation and the sex educators fighting back with science. He introduces readers to a colorful cast of characters: doctors advocating for the use of chastity devices, wellness influencers who believe ejaculation depletes the body of vital nutrients, pastors who preach that masturbation creates mermaids, and vibrator aficionados who teach the curious how to come. DIY will challenge what you think you know about the very human need for self-pleasure. Part sex-positive exposé, part fascinating science, DIY spotlights generations of sex education countering anti-masturbation pseudoscience with empowering truths about pleasure. This sex book is perfect for fans of Mary Roach books like Bonk or anyone curious about the history of sex and masturbation.

Download or read book Masturbation written by Marquard Smith and published by . This book was released on 2018-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masturbation is all-inclusive. It is universal and particular, collective and individual; a solitary pleasure, a shared exchange, an intimate encounter. It is a central - and wonderfully elusive and contradictory - component of human history and culture. It is the great leveller. It is also subject rich in contradictions. Historically, masturbation has been characterized as a disorder, as 'unnatural' and 'unhealthy', and as a violation of the moral law. At the same time, it has been seen as a vital force, as a creative and magical act, and as 'normal' and 'wholesome'. Given our contemporary world's own complexities, what better way to make sense of human beings, human sexuality, and indeed our own true selves? Masturbation: A Handbook is insightful, rigorous and delightful assemblage of historical images and artifacts, popular culture, and modern and contemporary drawings, paintings, photographs, video works and performances about the subject. It includes fascinating examples of visual and material culture, including depictions from ancient China, Egypt and Greece, Japan, and north America and works by modern and contemporary practitioners such as Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia, Marina Abramovic, Matthew Barney, Valie Export and Antony Gormley. Barely scrutinized until now, it is the unique aesthetic of masturbation, both ancient and modern, that this book looks to define, investigate, and celebrate. Masturbation: A Handbook is also a sourcebook of writings on the topic. From the libertine Marquis de Sade to the psychotherapist Susie Orbach, it brings together original sources with newly commissioned texts by novelists, artists, scholars, educators, historians, essayists, artists and poets. Together this treasure trove of images, objects, and texts is a wonderful resource for anyone seriously and actively interested in sexuality, eroticism, desire, narcissism, perversity, intimacy and gratification.
