Magical Caresses | Masturbation: A Short Story of a Great Taboo

Magical Caresses | Masturbation: A Short Story of a Great Taboo

This film discusses topics of sex and masturbation; viewer discretion is advised.

History as it was never taught in school. This animated short looks back at the surprising story of our relationship with masturbation—and its repression—from prehistory to today.

From the Magical Caresses animated documentary series, in which Lori Malépart-Traversy takes a playful and uninhibited look at solo sexuality.

This film deals with mature subject matter. Viewer discretion is advised
