Porn Stars Invited Free To World's First Documentary On Self-Love

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.Sticky: A (Self) Love Story is a film that asks “why is masturbation such a sticky subject?” Stylish, insightful, fun, and educational, it features interviews with over 60 celebrities, sexologists, educators, authors, law makers, religious figures and entertainers covering the topic from a range of perspectives, including Hustler Magazine founder Larry Flynt, Black Flag’s Keith Morris, actress Janeane Garofalo, adult film star Nina Hartley, and former Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders, who was forced by Bill Clinton to resign after she suggested at an AIDS conference that we teach masturbation in school, as a healthy alternative to intercourse.

From the history of the vibrator, to the shocking reality that harmless sex toys are banned in Alabama, Sticky: A (Self) Love Story will teach viewers everything they didn’t know about masturbation in one stimulating documentary. It’s a candid portrayal of an activity that is rarely discussed, exploring it from a historical, medical, legal, moral and psychological perspective. Writer/Director Nicholas Tana aims to crush social embarrassment in his quest to understand why masturbation is something that most people do, but few like to admit.

Fun facts:

• Sticky interviewee Sherri Williams has been campaigning for almost 20 years against the 1998 ban on sex toys in Alabama, one of the most lenient states when it comes to the purchase of guns.

• Kellogg’s Corn Flakes & Graham Crackers were invented to curb masturbation in boys. Sticky will tell viewers why.

• The vibrator was invented to help doctors genitally stimulate their female patients in order to treat "hysteria." Sticky will take viewers through the history of the vibrator.

• Sticky interviewee, former Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders, was forced by then president Bill Clinton to resign in 1994, because she condoned the idea of teaching schoolchildren to masturbate as a way of avoiding the spread of the AIDS virus.
