    Privacy please!

    This film is strictly for adults. But older and matured teenagers can be spared. This is a very good subject for grown ups to open their eyes and youngsters to learn. It's about masturbation. I mean, what's wrong with that! First of all, the film is not fully researched or surveyed kind of perspective. It was more an opinion based theme from the common people and experts. Moreover, it's very fun to watch if your mind is not framed with hardcore religious craps.

    Naturally, humans and other species have done and still doing it since the beginning of the life. Just because the civilisation has flourished with rule and regulation means not this thing is a bad for us in any way. In fact, it helps us in millions of ways. Like if one neutralise (relieves) his sexual urges like this way, the rapes can be prevented. So, this is a wonder film that talks openly the most hesitated topic in the society. In some cases, even among friendships.

    I don't know this writer, director. Well, I don't have to, but I just enjoyed his little film. It was a short documentary like around 70 minutes. Interview style narration, but there were plenty of film clips, just to explain stuffs. There are like millions of films and you will get all the scene situations, don't have to recreate them. They have nicely given some examples. I had seen most of those films, so I managed to understand! But that does not how it works. Because of raw parts were censored. Yet we all know what's behind it, like it was understandable term.

    -xX] There is no such thing as sex addiction. It's sexual compulsions, not addiction. [Xx-

    There were lots of good things told in the film. I liked the idea of doctors writing a prescription. The films using this concept just to make fun out of it. Maybe that's where what's going wrong. Because most of the trend begins from that platform as many people blindly follows what they see on the screen. So I think it's time to tell the truth. It was very sad how this film opened. It revealed a real life incident of a teenager. The sex education must include this concept as saying there's nothing wrong in doing that. Believe me, most of first experience comes without understanding what they were doing in their early 10s.

    But it has some dark sides too, I mean a person can lose everything he had earned in his life like in a second. It's none other than Paul Reubens of Pee-Wee fame. I mean, come on, people think their children are safe with thieves, junkies, smokers and alcoholics than what people do in their private. It does not mean he had raped somebody or going to. Seems they just have scared of the unpredictability of the future. Not in here, in any circumstances, the future is unpredictable. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with it.

    It has to be private. There's nothing proud to be openly acknowledged as the society is filled with under-aged people as well. But when you come across someone doing it, just ignore it and respect the privacy. I have seen many documentaries on many themes, like most of them are unique, this one as well. They might have already made one or more, but I haven't seen them. I'm really happy I came across it, and I surely recommend it to everybody.

    The only drawback of this film was, there's nothing told from the negative side. Of course, everything has good and bad sides. They have convinced from the good stuffs, but what about the disadvantages. Somebody could make a separate film on that, but people recognise the only negatives and label relieving is a bad thing. It should have been in this film, like 5 to 10 minutes of cover would have worked out. Otherwise, I would have said it was a masterpiece, but it's still good for watching once.

    Doesn't know if it's a documentary or comedy. Fails at both.

    This movie is 72 minutes long but could have been 20 without losing anything important. A number of people are interviewed or asked questions but many have nothing constructive to say. Some things probably were supposed to be funny but I never laughed once.

    The central theme is masturbation. For a bit they bring a discussion of porn into it. Very briefly get into sex toys. I think they tend to stick to things that can get a rise out of people. (Did you catch my puns?!!!) Instead of offering much constructive or actually educational.

    There were a few things interesting when they went thru the historical view of masturbation. Other than that very little. You could turn it off after the first 20 or 25 minutes and not miss anything.

    Healthy view good for the whole family.

    Aside from the misleading title which suggest more about sperm than self-gratification, its a healthy view good for the whole family, although I believe its wise to view WITH your children, instead of your child being left alone to be scared about it by some religious controlling pious nut in Sunday School.

    It covers a lot of bases and does so logically and convincingly. I was disappointed, however, they did not address one group of people who are societal outcasts, those who are not desirable to others, because of the way they look . When it comes to attraction, men have it FAR worse than women: a woman that is generally deemed unattractive can still get sex a lot easier than an unattractive man. Since it's been proven that humans need basic physical contact with one another, they mostly have to resort to self-gratification if they don't.

    BTW, I did not see Ali, in this documentary.
