*****TRAILER*****

OFFICIAL MOVIE TRAILER

*****ABOUT STICKY*****

Everyone does it; few admit it; now there’s a movie about it! “Sticky” talks candidly about what has been referred to throughout history as both a form of self-love and self-abuse. After being shamed as a child by fellow students for admitting that he masturbated, writer/director Nicholas Tana, interviewed over sixty sexologists (including San Diego’s own, Dr. Jenn Gunsaullus!), authors, religious figures, porn stars, and entertainers to understand what’s so wrong with masturbation.

With Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders, comedian Janeane Garofalo, and, “Hustler” creator, Larry Flynt, “Sticky” answers age-old questions: “Will it make me go blind?”; “Is it “normal”?”; and, “Why are we so afraid to be caught in the act?” The documentary also explores how the world’s major religions disagree about the moral effects of self-pleasuring, and why the sale of sex toys is illegal in Alabama.

When confusion about sexuality remains at the root of so many societal problems – rape, sexual abuse, and the threat of STD's –STICKY pulls no punches in exploring a subject that touches us all.
