Master List of Movies Rated on Depictions/Discussions of Lady-gasm and/or Masturbation!

Here is a list of all the SSL Movie Reviews I have ever done, sorted by their vulva rating. An SSL Review focuses only on depictions/discussions of female orgasm, female masturbation, cunnilingus, and/or the clit (If a movie ain't got that, I don't review it). It delves into the realism and cultural effects of the depiction/discussion, what the depictions/discussion reflect about our current sexual culture, and what it adds to the discussion.

(above: a still from the masturbation scene in the 5-vulva rated Pleasantville)

I would also like to say that I have been doing these SSL Reviews since about 2010, and not a lot has gotten better. I have become nicer over the years, though. Looking through the older stuff, I see that I was harsher than maybe I should have been sometimes, and I apologize, but hey, we all evolve, right? I think I see this activism in a broader, more inclusive way than I used to. Okay, that's it. Go check 'em out! (P.S. - if you have a movie that I could review in this way, feel free to contact me )

Oh - and looking for the list of SSL Reviewed TV instead? Go HERE for that list.
