Watch: Sticky: A (Self) Love Story

So it’s Valentine’s Day in a few days. Five to be exact. And this year we are expecting zero cards. This is partly because we’ve just moved and no one knows our address. But partly because, well, it’s just been a bleak few months in the dating world. But we’re shrugging off the heteronormative idea that you need that special person to make you feel complete. We’ll just be buying chocolates for ourselves in 2016. Standard.

Yes, instead of Netflix and chillin’, this year we’ll be watching Sticky: A (Self) Love Story. Now bare with us, the title is subtle we know, but this documentary is all about masturbation. From talking of old wives’ tales like hairy palms & blindness to Pee Wee Herman getting caught doing it in the cinema to how it should be taught in schools – Sticky covers it all.

As well as a history of masturbation, there’s commentary from religious figures, teachers, experts, Larry Flynt and one of our all times favourites, Janeane Garofalo. So what more do you need? Well ok, you can stream it free this weekend exclusively through Vimeo OnDemand?

Here’s the trailer and if, like us, you loathe censorship, fear not as it’s rude version.
