Table Of ContentTable of Contents Introduction: It's Okay, Everybody Does it, But Nobody Ever, Ever Talks About It Chapter 1: The Demonization Chapter 2: The Coming of Age Chapter 3: The How Chapter 4: The Trigger Chapter 5: Locating It Chapter 6: The Show Chapter 7: The Substitution Chapter 8: Within Relationships Chapter 9: For Health and Empowerment Chapter 10: The Norm Conclusion Bibliography Index About the Author

SynopsisThrough 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., 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.
