There are as many ways to masturbate as there are to film it! As sex educator Dr. Shanna Katz mentions in Let’s Talk About Masturbation, a study of female masturbation with hundreds of participants showed that no two women masturbate the same way. Depictions of solo sex and fantasy in film can range from artistic creations to fetish scenarios, educational examples representing queer and trans sexuality rarely discussed in sex ed, and relationship stories of long-distance romance and homemade porn as a love-letter.

We created the PinkLabel.TV category Masturbation, Self Love, and Solo Sex to make it easy to browse titles that shine a light on solitary sexual experiences and fantasies. Here’s a taste of 10 titles from the genre.

Solo Sex and Self-Love

We are introduced to her assistant who begins by slowly slowly teasing her body and clearly enjoys being watched.

Baby You’re Frozen
Sadie Lune / Eleven Tentacles

Sexuality is increasingly lived through virtual formats. Baby You’re frozen is a intensely personal and explicit look at the relationship between virtuality and intimacy; how virtual means facilitate connections of the heart and sex across great distances and time zones, but hinders feelings of closeness through digital obstacles.

A raw and real portrayal of coping strategies for long-distance love in the 21st century where Skype sex is the best we get, but making love to a screen never satisfies the need for in-person physical intimacy with all of our senses.

Sid’s Porntrait
Ivan Sobris

Sid was the first guy I ever filmed. We chatted online about my project for a while and he agreed to participate.

He was a bit nervous when he welcomed me into his house. We went to his bedroom and he started masturbating while watching porn, a bit rote.

He couldn’t help but glance at the camera, so I decided to sit in a corner and wait while he got used to my presence, which didn’t take very long. His exhibitionist self then took over and he started playing with the camera, sensually masturbating, tasting his pre cum, and licking his armpits. It wasn’t forced; he was genuinely enjoying his own body and I think it really shows through in the video.

They grab a nice purple dildo and begin sucking it while pumping one finger on their clit. After it’s nice and wet they slide it inside their warm body and begin to jerk off. They toss their head back, loving the fantasies arising from the subversive novel. They turn over on their back, fucking themself while watching the motion in the mirror. In an ultimate act of vanity and self love, they come in front of their own reflection.

Sexting: Kinky and Adrian
Irina Vega and Adrian Mur / Altporn4U

Sexting is a scene idea that has been around in my head for a few years. I wanted to recreate a situation in which two people (or more) have a real sexting session, totally improvised, but authentically recorded. This idea was postponed for the time that it was taking me to think about the best technique to be able to simultaneously shoot the performers, in addition to close-ups, the text and the photos that are sent to each other… all these elements make sense now, when shooting porn in times of pandemic is quite a challenge.
