Is Hollywood getting more comfortable centering women's pleasure? Thanks to recent scenes in "Wuthering Heights," "Bridgerton," and "Tell Me Lies," women characters are finally experiencing pleasure without any help from their male costars — and honestly, we're here for it.
Though solo pleasure can often carry a stigma, masturbation sex scenes are stepping into the spotlight in a way that feels both sexy and long overdue. Of course, these scenes are intimate and erotic, but they're also intentional. As PS sex editor Taylor Andrews puts it, these masturbation sex scenes aren't just hot . . . they're affirming. "The more we see women own their pleasure on screen, the less weird it feels off screen." |
