Masturbation at the Movies

I'm not sure which of the big box office blockbuster hits this summer will be tackling masturbation, although chances are there will be some joke about it somewhere.  It's a shame, because in my opinion when it comes to movies even Hollywood does masturbation better than they do partnered sex. 

These sometimes pained and often brave performances inspired me a few years back to start a list of masturbation scenes in mainstream movies from the 1970s to today.  If you don't see your favorite, be sure to let me know and I'll add it to the list.   ~ Cory
